  • I am sorry, but I never use LLM for my words, and I try omitting LLM-generated/formatted articles myself when noticed, since I do also have heartache whenever I see anything such.

    Meanwhile, it’s also painful to constantly recently receive these “you act like AI”, “you are a bot”, “you use AI/LLM” etc. just because I’ve been trying to format my messages since at least 2010 keeping references with human finite priceless time invested into…
    These recent comments devalue, defame, and basically disrespect you a human who just tries to keep it organized for others.

    It’s a dear sorrow since nowadays your attempts to stay accountable are getting ridiculed and devalued to void.

    I am sorry… for my formatting that cause you any trouble… but what can I do? The world won’t care, but some do still try formatting their words in public at least somehow, without these “lol”, “kek”… and some hopefully proper punctuation.

    No to mention:
    - LLM-looking “em-dashes” I removed from the source (e.g. origin’s “…explicit content — including inappropriate…”);
    - Escaped list prefixes (i.e. \- instead of -) so to not cause Markdown render it with huge spaces between list items;
    - Created a web-archived version and noted in the source reference line between “[]”, just in case.

    Yet, who cares, right? You likely didn’t even notice.

    These comments… make you feel empty, regretful, and sometimes cause a headache I got when I read your comment with 2 other people calling me a bot today. Such an awesome time to live, indeed.

  • Thank you! Hurray! A yet another brand new credentials “local-first” cloud with very transparent and intuitive brand name, that is going to be “responsible” for “decades” (hopefully years) of storing and maintaining someone’s credentials with undisclosed infrastructure, legal terms in cases of the credentials leaked during a bug (e.g. at E2EE/secure channel session), and no actual comparison stated between the current competitors, including DotEnv cloud service, BitWarden, 1Password, KeePass-based etc.!

    No, sorry, I, nor anyone I know, would trust credentials to any organization with so little transparency and lack of guarantees, also considering audited alternatives.

    Oh, and indeed, where is the key card? Is it in an ASCII art somewhere in documentation?

    The design is nice, however, but… may I ask, how much non-AI work was done, if any?


  • Wonderful day! Looks not bad, but doesn’t look perfect, sorry. Yet, there’s progress it seems!
    Generally:

    1. Clean both platforms for the join, and the soldering iron;
    2. If the solder does not come with flux, apply a proper flux to the both ends (flux must be compatible with the metal);
    3. Heat and apply a solder to the first fluxed end;
    4. Heat and apply a solder to the second fluxed end;
    5. Heat and join to ends together;

    I’ve been into electronics for almost two decades, and I relatively recently noticed the following video that you may find interesting. It is more modern than books and quickly summarizes the principles to be researched manually further if required (e.g. in books):
    - Do This Before You Solder Anything

    I believe it mostly comes with practicing, and experiments with an iron that has a temperature indicator should support it.

  • It’s almost always been so in modern days, and is obvious if only you read news from around the globe and not just yours local.
    Judging from my experience traveling around the world, due to the job I have, I must say, sorry, the USA’s social environment system is one of the most manipulative and forceful, and is designed for the mass control to desired destinations.

    The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, shrink, or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

  • It’s not just superior but mostly… humane… and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe…
    There’s love, empathy, and reason I feel…

    ...not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit...

    Though, I was already banned for utterly unexpected reasons at !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and !privacy@lemmy.ml , and though these are still not Lemmy.World, there were at least appreciated reasons stated (in the Modlog), and not just “shadow banned” as on Reddit for utterly unknown reasons with no official responses with money sent into their Vault and Awards I do regret know being shadow-banned myself…
    No one cares who you are there and how much you’ve done for tens of years; it’s an empty void and sorrow…
    Regardless…

    Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community… for the ineffably magnificent Marvel… Art you do…
    Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability… and peace…


  • The macOS version can make stronger guarantees because it can have more complexity. On Linux, the foundation is eBPF, which is powerful but bounded: it has strict limits on storage size and program complexity. Under heavy traffic, cache tables can overflow, which makes it impossible to reliably tie every network packet to a process or a DNS name.
    And reconstructing which hostname was originally looked up for a given IP address requires heuristics rather than certainty. The macOS version uses deep packet inspection to do this more reliably.
    That’s not an option here.

    The above feels like an utter AI slop nonsense, sorry. I believe eBPF, the Linux Kernel feature, is absolutely capable for accuracy and perfect processing of network traffic. Have you ever checked Calico or Cilium, or at least, Oryx?




  • Thank you very much! The article is a great reference to consider and start creating workspaces for teams ready to deal with panic and stay efficient in critical events.

    As a reminder, one of the ten levers you can pull to increase psychological safety in your subculture is to provide structure for difficult conversations.

    Unstructured hard conversations rely on confidence and power. Structured ones rely on shared tools and expectations.

    In the Anxiety Zone, difficult conversations feel personal and unpredictable.

    A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

    Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich
