Last week I noticed that Lemmy doesn’t like certain characters when posting URLs and silently replaces them - in my case %20 got converted into + which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.

I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…

Check this comment out where I used every possible value from %00 to %FF in URLs. The second half (above %80) gets wild

2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.

Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

Thats the problem. Say, I’m offering you a cloud drive and tell you “your data is end to end encrypted”. You sync data from your PC to my server and from my server to your mobile phone. Would that mean

1. That everything between your devices is encrypted (=I can’t see what you’re saving, neither can “the state”, hackers,…)or
2. That your data is encrypted in transit, but is saved unencrypted on my server (which means everyone with access to my server can see your data) or
3. It’s encrypted in transit and also on my server, but the keys are also ony server, so that everyone with access to my server can in theory decrypt everything and access everything?

1 is what you want, 2 and 3 are often what you get…

Do not look at all those (proprietary) E2EE definitions to closely - you might find several that define TLS as end to end…

Shhhh… Don’t make it even more obvious. The fig leaf covering it is already so flaccid, that it might instantaneously turn into dust at the slightest disturbance.

Depends. Are you from the EU or not?

Oracle Cloud offers 4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM and 200GB storage in their free tier (IIRC you can even divide that into 4 separate VMs). Very useful for cheap testing, if your code/server supports ARM.

Even then, a small underpowered x64 VM for testing purposes is often free on all hyperscalers. Not the fastest server, but depending on the use case?

Looks at it loosely: Well it looks like cool tech, and the first to offer it might have a new market all alone and can earn money and…

puts on tin hat have you looked around lately? Being able to directly access brains and probably inject God knows what signals to maybe be able to alter behavior of people and/or literally brainwash them is a sure way to get funding in late stage capitalism. [They] just want to be on the “correct side” of this. [They] just want control!

Which part is the lie? That he wouldn’t fuck his daughter if she weren’t his daughter or that he would fuck his daughter if she were his daughter?

Then we agree to disagree

Grammar Nazi chiming in:

Too meaning ‘also’

We can use too to mean ‘also’. It is more common than also in informal situations. We normally use it at the end of the clause.

In short answers in informal situations, we normally say me too, not I too.

In more formal situations, we can use too immediately after the subject.

As I said over and over again: my biggest pet peeve with Linux is that there are often several ways to accomplish something but many are somewhat distribution specific and not really standardized.

Who doesn’t love to find a tool that has install instructions like:

Start by installing all required packages with sudo apt get package1, package2,... then clone this repository and…

Just to realize that a) you’re not running anything Debian based and b) you first step is now to find out how these packages are named in your package manager.

Or tutorials that tell you to do X and you only find out, that they’re assuming (but not telling you) you’re using Debian and some old package versions that now have a completely new syntax in their configuration, so that either the tutorial doesn’t work or you maybe even f up something by changing values that you shouldn’t touch.

Best is, of you find help in a distribution specific forum/wiki/… But not all problems can be found there

Wait if that’s the most ridiculous part, then… Does the smartphone even know when it’s switched on or off?

You wouldn’t download a Starbucks,…

You state that you did use the install script, but also that you want to run it with docker. Did you follow the instructions in their docker repository? It’s quite easy to get it running - they included a complete docker-compose, a Caddyfile and all you need.

Edit, I’m dumb, I misread.

And a blockchain helps to solve which part of the problem? Some were working on mirroring all data to a git repository. In theory, that allows for easy access on all the data, versioning (with commits) and - through forks and merge requests - collaboration and distribution. Also git is a distributed repository that clones the whole history to your local drive.

But with the announcement of the cve foundation, I don’t know whether they will really import all the data in this git repository.

I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…

I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.

Came to suggest this. I ran into the same problem when I tried to host Jellyfin at home. Also I was fed up with all those certificate warnings, depending on which device I used. Since I was already using pihole in my home network, I just went and looked at all the DNS plugins for certbot to learn which provider allows for easy DNS challenges. Then I researched a bit and stumbled upon a provider that was running a sale - so I got a domain for less than 5 bucks/year.

I set the public A record to 127.0.0.1 and configured certbot to use their API. This domain is now used internally in my network exclusively and I just added some DNS entries for several subdomains in pihole, so that it works for every device at home (e.g. jellyfin.example.com / dockerhost.example.com / proxmox.example.com / …).

When I’m away, I shouldn’t be able to resolve the domain, and even if DNS were hijacked, the TLS certificate will protect me from connecting to $randomServices. Also my router is less restricted, which means that I can just use it’s VPN server to connect directly to my home network, if I need to access my server or need to troubleshoot things when away.

I read this as they’re even generating the frames with AI:

The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo

While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.

“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”

No, I don’t think that you’re talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You’re talking about game hallucination.
