Wireguard.

Dunno if Cloudflare does effective auth for the tunnel or if you have to set that up yourself, but I don’t bother trying to expose services to the internet in any way because some of this stuff was just never designed for proper web security (cough Jellyfin).

It’s still worth setting up a wildcard cert with ACME so you get nice https and a real domain.

If it weren’t for the massive silicon supply lockdown, I feel like we could easily see local models making it into consumer tech in the coming years and effectively replace all those casual users since you no longer have to pay a subscription to do regular/low effort tasks on whatever device you own. A lot of it has gotten really good, especially with lots of quantization techniques getting superseded by new ones each year.

Actually I guess it could probably go the same way as cable and streaming. Eventually they’ll keep amping up the ante with the billing (because they always do), and people will just get turned off into a bunch of “cheaper” 3rd parties that have lower costs with some niche tricks, which will fragment the userbase too much.

Also I haven’t looked into it, but do they advertise those $50 users separately from enterprise? I don’t really know anyone outside of “power” users that aren’t just using the $20 a month basic plans that give you enough tokens to get by (for now).

I feel like they’re inflating their numbers from enterprise estimates because that’s where they can bait with cheap API prices and then hook with vendor lock in.

I wonder what exactly they screwed up to bork it like this. It would seem like a no brainer to leave all the git stuff alone and add all the random fancy AI stuff in a separated manner.

Got smacked with the pull request incident banner yesterday and now I’m actually considering to just move all my random personal repos to GitLab lol.

I’ve been putting off spinning up Forgejo at home because I really need to clean up my homelab design (really abusing quadlets to the point where it would be easier to just do K8s), and I already know I’m gonna immediately waste all my time setting up a dumb CI/CD pipeline that looks really cool but just makes a big mess every time I commit a mistake because I am not in the mood of setting up a monkeychain of pre-commit hooks at home lmao.

I wish.

It was the same Samsung 970 NVME that I’m using right now lol.

Windows 8 on a hard drive was 1000x worse. I made the mistake of upgrading my laptop back in the day from 7 to 8, and it would just sit at 100% disk IO at idle.

But just in case, on the SSD it actually would take anywhere from several seconds to a full 15 before the start menu decided to load.

XFCE, WF-Shell, KDE, and the many dmenu clones are all instant.

My biggest “wow” was when I could hit the super key and have the start menu open immediately instead of waiting 4 minutes for it to load in and another 20 minutes to take my search input and give me back results from Bing.

No please, continue shooting yourself in the foot.

People begged for performance debloating for more than a decade but you’re only interested now because Proton outperforms Windows.

I would be asking for a multi million dollar salary as an NT kernel engineer to undo all the crappary intentionally introduced in every update ever since Windows 8.

That’s what roborock has employed for their Vacuums haha.

The thing that kicked off 2007 was that CDOs ended being largely made up of crappy mortgage bonds which caused their massive trillions in debt “value” to dissappear when the underlying bonds failed which was tied to people not paying their mortgage on crappy adjustable mortgage loans.

After getting bailed out with a shit ton of tax money, the banks agreed not to repeat the same mistake by ensuring their trillions of debt trading doesn’t depend on a single point of failure, so they’ve diversified it across multiple markets (like how a CDO was otherwise supposed to work)

This type of warning shows up every now and then because the vulnerability is still there (since nothing really changed), but its much harder to knock it down without causing some type of collapse in multiple areas first.

Right now, I think its estimated that private credit makes up about 40% of their investments into the AI boom, which is 1 trillion dollars exact. That’s proportionally less than what CDOs were with mortgage bonds, but it’s still entirely possible that a couple of hits in some businesses sectors could collapse the system.

Iran actually succeeded in affecting multiple supply chains due to their strait closure, including AI, so if they continue on that path it might actually happen.

I’m hoping this insane future booked shortage causes the consumer electronics industry to crash due to lack of parts which in turn should cause the AI industry to crash when no one is buying new tech nor fat AI subscriptions.

It already has to be affecting small to medium businesses significantly when even laptop procurement has tripled in price and you’re spending a ton of money for enterprise AI access.

Tor is the only one that has that type of association because it’s the biggest, so it always gets mentioned in the media.

Most people don’t even know that there are other darknets like i2p.

On top of that, current Tor actually has pretty good latency and connection speeds when not on a bridge. Last time I tried it out, I was getting 80Mbps up/down. Several users here even regularly or exclusively access lemmy with Tor.

I think i2p should actually make an effort to promote higher base bandwidth sharing out of box because it scales easily since its completely decentralized and everyone is a node, unlike Tor. It could easily become more user friendly if nodes weren’t starting off at like 128kbps speeds.

Plus like the other reply mentioned, you have to go out of your way to find the criminal stuff on darknets. Most users would probably be accessing clearnet stuff anyway, and .onion addresses on clearnet sites that have dedicated onion addresses like duckduckgo or some social media platforms.

I’m still mad we lost sport sedans for this EPA bs.

Everything is a crossover or SUV to gg ez the emission laws because of the weight class.

Random 5 seater SUV will be producing more emissions than a WRX or Evo Lancer.

I can’t tell if this is a lead into Atomic like Silverblue, or a rugpull into NixOS lmao

While Toyota and Honda at least have an acclaimed history in low cost and efficient vehicles, Ford is literally 1/3rd the the reason the US doesn’t manufacture sedans anymore, with the other 2/3rds being GM and Chrysler.

I actually witnesses them layoff their entire sedan division in real time when they announced the end of the fusion. I’m pretty sure it was mostly liquidated by the time covid hit.

They bought into the colonial system from their very existence. Most of the GCC started out as British backed insurgents against the Ottman empire.

Once they kicked the Ottomans out, they all established hard monarchies to solidify political power, and outsourced their security to the British, who took immediate advantage of the massive oil reserves discovered in the region.

Post WWII, after the British empire collapsed, they transitioned to the US under the same deal.

They make trillions of dollars through oil sold only in USD, which they reinvest into the US economy. The US gets to dictate their foreign policy and use them however they please in exchange.

The benefactors are exclusively the royal families and their friends, which is why KSA and UAE are notorious for human trafficking and exploited foreign labor because they spend none of that money on actually developing their nation’s societies.

They had multiple opportunities not to enter such an exploitable system, but they chose not to, with the grand exception being Iran, which was the only successful overthrow of a US/UK imposed government.

I didn’t mean for FOSS projects actually, I meant the bug bounties run by silicon valley giants lol.

FOSS bug reports are done either out of love or spite lmao.

Gamenative is absolutely sick but Android is also a PITA for handhelds these days. The kernels are always dated, the task management sucks, the UX sucks, and everything has to be ported into an APK with cruddy Android API mappings.

I have Rocknix dual boot on my AYN Thor, and it is so much easier to run native emulators on linux then to run the Android counterparts, which are guaranteed to be missing features or are out of date with upstream releases.

I don’t want to shame the user, but there was a recent discussion thread on npmplus where someone was using a compose file generated by an LLM and was confused why the hallucinated env variables weren’t working.

The kicker is that npmplus literally gives you a comprehensive and complete compose file with every optional setting commented out with a brief description, so you can just copy and edit to your desire.

Which of course the LLM decided to ignore anyway and come up with its own config options lol.

On a somewhat related note, I feel like bug bounties these days have become sort of under subsidized for well developed applications. All the medium and lower findings payouts are pretty fair, but lots of the high/critical bounties seem a lot less than what I would expect, especially compared to some of the huge prize pools I’ve seen at some conventions (upwards of 50k USD).

I have no idea how much they fetch on the black market, but it seems weird to me that something like an RCE receives less than 10k, which could easily be utilized by some APT to net millions in a more sophisticated ransomware attack.

Ask IT to make their DCs public facing /s
