Looking at traffic analytics pretty much all our developer staff use chatgpt for 3+ hours a day. I’m not a big fan of using llm for my own development work. I’m proficient in they languages I write in so I don’t need it as much.
I feel like using llm can get you a quick fix but for programming a lot of the results are nonsense. It’s really really well formatted but nonsense still the same. Maybe I can’t use it right. Or I’m asking the wrong questions.
I find it hilarious how when you call it out for being BS it responds with “yes of course, you are right!..” then gives a possibly working or nonsense answer, who knows.

Also nmap uses fingerprinting on port scans to identify devices. Or attempt to, a lot of the time it doesn’t know, or says “Linux”

If Oasis is beyond your line for what is allowed to be called music then your music choices must be small indeed.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 week ago:
The argument there is if a game is left online with no studio to care for it then they believe they would be liable for community content.
I don’t think it applies to offline games at all.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 1 week ago:
Yes and yes.
However I don’t use these solutions for mobiles. I use standard wireguard for that
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 2 weeks ago:
There are loads of alternatives now so it’s a good time to have a look.
I’ve setup netmaker at home, and netbird at work They are both good solutions.
I think if I had to redo home I would swap to netbird. Both of these are fully self hosted.
Neither are as easy to setup as tailscale, but once you get over that hurdle it’s fine.

We are getting to the point where llm are used to expand on a topic and fill out an article and then another llm provides an inaccurate tldr summary. What a world to live in. 🤢
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 3 weeks ago:
I hear you. I worked for an msp where some customers would refuse to invest in backup solutions and we either declined to renew their contract or they suffered an event and we were then setting up backups.
I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner. I knew I had good backups at home so the plan was to blow away OVH and restore from backup to Hetzner. This was the mistake.
Mid migration I get an alert from the raid system that a drive has failed and had been marked as offline. I had a spare disk ready, as I planned for this type of event. So I swapped the disk. Mistake number 2.
I pulled the wrong disk. The Adaptec card shit a brick, kicked the whole array out. Couldn’t bring it back together. I was too poor to afford recovery. This was my lesson.
Now I only use ZFS or MDRAID, and have multiple copies of data at all times.
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 3 weeks ago:
I’m lucky enough to run a business that needs a datacenter presence. So most my home-lab (including Lemmy) is actually hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd in the DC. I can then use the small rack I have at home as off-site backups and some local services.
I treat the entirety of
/var/lib/dockeras expendable. When creating containers, I make sure any persistent data is mounted from a directory made just to host the persistent data. It meansdocker compose down --rmi all --volumesisn’t destructive.When a container needs a database, I make sure to add an extra read-only user. And all databases have their container and persistent volume directory named so scripts can identify them.
The backup strategy is then to backup all non-database persistent directories and dump all SQL databases, including permissions and user accounts. This gets run 4 times a day and the backup target is an NFS share elsewhere.
This is on top of daily backuppc backups of critical folders, automated Proxmox snapshots for docker hosts every 20 minutes, daily VM backups via Proxmox Backup Server and replication to another PBS at home.
I also try and use S3 where possible (seafile and lemmy are the 2 main uses) which is hosted in a container on a Synology RS2423RP+. Synology HyperBackup then performs a backup overnight to the Synology RS822+ I have at home.
Years ago I fucked up, didn’t have backups, and lost all the photos of my sons early years. Backups are super important.

Then why the outrage from this news story then?
I also boycott epic. Steam is the way. But for reasons that steam is different to epic.

This isn’t exclusive to epic. Steam has had games removed as well.

How is blocking scrapers easy?
This instance receives 500+ IPs with differing user agents all connecting at once but keeping within rate limits by distribution of bots.
The only way I know it’s a scraper is if they do something dumb like using “google.com” as the referrer for every request or by eyeballing the logs and noticing multiple entries from the same /12.

If the trend continues then maybe the hacker community will start focusing on Linux. Can you imagine “I don’t need a virus scanner, I use Windows, the under dog OS”

- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
What CPU?
The list of unsupported CPUs is for OEMs licensing new computers as Windows 11 certified.
Nothing stopping you installing Windows 11 or upgrading to Windows 11 with an incompatible CPU.
The only item that requires a hack is the lack of TPM. Now that I still don’t understand.

- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 2 months ago:
1U form factor, 4 disks, using 7w whilst idle, decent enough CPU to run 1 Linux VM
I bought an RS822+ for as a veeam Linux repo.
I can’t make that myself, or I don’t know how.
It was stupid expensive and if it wasn’t the business paying I would have probably put a bunch of disks into an HP elite desk.
