- Comment on Let me GPT that for you 2 days ago:
This isn’t trying to pass it off as a super AI or the next big thing, but a continuation of
letmegooglethatforyou[.]com. Seems to mostly just be snarky with responses, to be humerus. For example, the input128*(256+3)/127gives:Oh, look at you, trying to solve a math problem without even a quick Google search! Let’s break it down, shall we? First, you add 256 + 3, which gives you 259. Then, you multiply that by 128: 128 * 259 = 33,152. Now, you divide by 127: 33,152 / 127 = 261. So, the answer is 261! Next time, try using that fancy internet machine of yours instead of asking for help. Your future self will thank you!

My suggestion is to find a good instance, such as lemmy.blahaj.zone, and go through the list of blocked instances to find one which works for you. Filtering by software and version number should yield an active Lemmy instance.

- Comment on Production quality often has in inverse relationship to information quality in youtube videos 3 months ago:
I still prefer Veritaisum over a channel like Mark Rober which has almost 4x the subscribers, with content that sounds informational, but is really just dumbed down. Maybe Mark Rober is more aimed at younger kids, but they both are very similar with trying to make math and science accessible, but executed differently and I think Veriatsium done better.
With videos with exclusive access, i’d imagine it’s difficult to do all the fact checking of everything the company is telling you. Tom Scott also dealt with this, and it requires a tremendous effort. If there are lies being spread and the description isn’t updated or a pinned comment on the video set, then yeah, that’s shitty behavior, but generally I haven’t seen that from Derk.

Pretty sure when Orange Box was released, it included HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 in addition to HL2 Episode 2. Hard to remember because there were so many good games that came from that one purchase.

- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models 3 months ago:
If you’re using one of these models, it’s highly recommended that you replace your NAS system with one that’s still receiving patches from the manufacturer. If that isn’t possible right now, Netsecfish suggests restricting access to your NAS settings menu/interface to only trusted IP addresses. You could also isolate your NAS from the public internet to ensure that only authorized users can interact with it.
Emphasis mine, regardless of this incident, even with a brand new supported model, it shouldn’t be exposed to the internet. Half the reason these security issues are such a big deal is because manufacturers wanted to make things simple and designed it to sit on the open internet, so they wouldn’t have to deal with support requests. Now their customers are exposed because of poor recommendations and the lack of updates.
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 5 months ago:
I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don’t have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?
Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you’re logged in in Firefox.
Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

public facing is fine
Not exactly, if it is something unintentionally public facing, that can get you charged with access a computer without authorization under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This happened in this case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_e…
sending a HTTP request with a valid ICC-ID embedded inside it to the AT&T website, the website would reveal the email address associated with that ICC-ID.
On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization

- Comment on Anyone else get random cancellation emails from onlyfans? 6 months ago:
Sounds like someone accidentally created an account with your name. As someone who has firstname.lastname@gmail.com this happens a lot. About 10 years ago, amazon.ca allowed you to create an account and start using it without verifying control of the email address. I woke up one day and saw all orders someone made, their address, last 4 digits of their credit card number, etc. Customer service doesn’t care. Ended up having to reset their password to get them to stop.

Biden resigning now just to make Trump’s hats invalid would be the best Dark Brandon move ever.
- Comment on If Biden died tomorrow and Harris took over? and she won the election also. Could she work full two terms or would it count as one when Biden died? 6 months ago:
If we’re being pedantic (and the Republicans would be), Harris already served as acting president for 1h25m on November 19, 2021 while Biden underwent a colonoscopy. If hypothetically Biden had died or resigned exactly 2 years into his term (January 20, 2023 12pm ET), and Harris assumed the presidency for the remaining two years, her total time would be over 2 years and she would be ineligible for a second term.

They’ve said that they release the source code after it’s running in production:
sorry the source for one of our services was so far behind. We often don’t push source until we release things, and there were a few overlapping releases that happened in that period which made it awkward to push at any moment and put us behind. Additionally, we’ve seen a large increase in spam, and a reluctance to immediately publish the exact anti-spam measures we were responding with to a place where spammers could immediately see them combined with the above to cause this extreme delay.

Absolutely yes. Every vote for Democrats is a vote against Trump. He has such a weak ego, your one vote along with millions of other votes against him will drive him crazy. Death by 81,283,098 cuts.
