• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to (safely) create a Lemmy community server?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Disclaimer: I might be talking out of my ass here but this is how I think it works, to the best of my knowledge.

  The safest way would be to make an instance that only hosts the communities; it has no users and therefore federates no subscriptions of other communities who’s content you may need to police for stuff like CSAM that isn’t caught right away. You’d only need to monitor and moderate your own communities created on the instance.

  I’m not sure but you might need one account to be an admin/ moderator for the communities you create? Just don’t subscribe to any off-instance communities with it and it shouldn’t federate those posts.

  Folks on other communities will interact with it via someone from their instance subscribing to it; so discoverability might present an issue.

  Yeah; you really have to figure out what products are worth your time.

  Look up what’s integrated with HomeAssistant locally and that’s a good start.

  “IoT via app linked with the manufacturer cloud” is bullshit bullshit bullshit, and there are fewer and fewer choices, especially in America. Try find ing a ZWave door lock, for example.

  Think about the power Microsoft has when they have every business document on earth and an AI that can summarize vast quantities of them on an ongoing basis.

  They’re taking control of free markets, of political movements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If we can’t store or compute anything, we will be reliant on those with that power. Cloud providers. They will suck up all our data, analyze it with their AI, and charge us for the privilege.

  They are forcing us to rent from them their ability to watch us and predict us.

  Welcome to the global panopticon.

  Well, on the flip side, my first smartphone was a Palm Prē, and I even installed the custom kernel to overclock it.

  Still have it in a box somewhere too. That was such a great phone.

  Now webOS is used by LG to spy on their smart TV customers.

  At the end of the day this is obscurity, not security; however obscurity is a good secondary defense because it buys time.

  I too would be interested to learn how this leaked

  That’s the goal.

  No more personal computer. Only dumb terminal and cloud. You will rent your needs from the rich. You will own nothing and like it. Your income is their revenue stream, or you shall cease to function in society.

  This is robbery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really sad to me that everyone sees this as just an annoying superfluous feature.

  Doesn’t anyone else see why Microsoft is so fucking horny for this???

  It’s a fucking panopticon! They’re trying to look at everything you produce and save (OneDrive) and now they’re trying to get their hands on what you think (what you ask Copilot) and the conclusions you come to (Copilot’s generated response).

  They can know and control anything they want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine knowing what every user is doing? What they read, what they play? What pictures they take? What websites they prefer? Where they get their news? Who they speak with? Their social graph? Where they shop? How often? What their finances look like? Who they work for? What they do for them? How connected they are? How that company is doing? What their quarterly report look like before they make it public? What their plans are for those upcoming layoffs? Who they do business with for importing? What the next big thing they’re designing is?

  What Microsoft is attempting to do is to create a planned economy that only benefits the rich. They’re trying to do the thing they always complain is bad about Communism, but do it in a way that gives the rich people control.

  We are living in a trap and Microsoft must be eradicated from all computers and networks. OpenAI too.

  You ok bro?

  Sounds like perhaps you need to move to an apartment where the lights from the road don’t point at your windows

  I’m not sure people need to be revenged just for existing; seems like the problem is the location of where you are at.

  Get blackout curtains or move

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the idea is to make it sound like a serious commitment when first describing it to a young person who doesn’t know about it yet.

  If you lead by making it sound like no big deal, they might just go try it out.

  Is that effective? Doesn’t seem like very; but it’s probably better than just describing and hoping they figure out that it ain’t a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I am missing something but I think you answers your own question?

  ROM is Level 0, it has the burned-in, permanent key. It hashes and verifies the Level 1 bootloader, on disk, signed with the ROM key.

  Now that the ROM key is known, anyone can sign a PS5 bootloader; and you can pretty much do whatever you want from there.

  It would seem that all existing PS5s just went up in value.
