Got any #linux blogs, especially with #cli tooling and Automation? Please let me know.

I would pay 100€ if someone figures out how to install linux on my dumb "Smart TV".

I would even go so far and take part in a crowd funding...

How do we stop #AI to help on malicious requests? Like "Search me a loophole in the current law that allows me to receive money without paying taxes?". Is this even illegal?

How would we prevent others (like admins) from doing so if this is blocked from users? Can we even do this?

The way I see it, AI is a two edged sword where both sides mean cutting yourself.

While all the big companies are crunching on thousands of CPUs and GPUs to help you give you an AI assistant that can give you a chart I am writing shell scripts using gnuplot to feed my ledger data into.

Hahaha, this is so ridiculous. The contrast of it alone.

Just a short appreciation post for #SSHFS, because it is one of the best things ever that simply work as they should.

This is day 45 of #100DaysToOffload and post 13 of #WeblogPoMo2024

@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@joel totally agreed!

I have my NAS mounted via sshfs. And my phone. And my tablet. And my VPS. etc.

I do it because I dont feel like we need multiple solutions for the same type of problem (remote access + data transfer).

Also allows me to lock file access behind a keyfile, which other protocols (like samba) dont support.

After my recent spate of unfollowing, my home timeline has nearly stalled. This is probably a good thing...

Anachron,
@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@underlap yep, it's sad but with a lot of people to follow you'll not be able to follow anyone anymore.

People posting more frequently take the spot. Which is sad, as often the less frequently posters have great content as well.

I am always careful when following new people. Not because I dont like them, but because it will take more of my focus and time.

Today I took the time to take a look at my followers and found some really interesting personalities in there!

It's quite sad to have such a limited bubble only. There are so many great minds on Fosstodon, yet my time and resources are so limited.

Sometimes I wish I could sit down and drink a coffee or tea with each and every one of you and talk about your ideas and opinions, even (or especially) if they are not like mine.

Keep it up people, you are great!

@danielsiepmann what do you mean? Mass-posting everybody?

@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

The Internet is dying.

Websites with libraries and media pulled from 30+ domains seem to be no exception anymore.

Who does this? Who has the guts to call himself a web developer or Website Administrator and then go crazy with includes?

At very least bundle it yourself. I cant look at Websites nowadays. Doesnt help that I know 1. how to make it better and 2. why it happens. :-/

I can feel that in 4-5 years there will be some companies going bankrupt because they chose to incooperate into their products.

I feel like has a high chance to fail, the only quality content you have is user submitted and they are turning from that.

There are also things like search which are already declining in quality day-by-day.

I've seen banks replace their FAQ and help search with an AI assistant. Why? This makes me mad.

In the vibrant month of May,
where flowers bloom and children play,
there's a buzz that's quite beguiling,
in the world where Linux is smiling... cont'd in the comments!

@system76

Gentle but not to overlook,
there are some companies which took
the heart of the users in a rush,
which lasts longer than CandyCrush.

No matter if using apk, apt or nix,
you'll find something for you at #System76,
if you don't really know what to do,
take a look at beginner-friendly #Tuxedo.
Want to tinker a bit more?
Well, #Framework got something for you in store.

There is always someone who can help,
you dont have to do all by yourself.

Argh. Now I have to either use an alternate browser or turn off resist fingerprinting on firefox in order to log into my bank.

The future is so stupid.

Anachron,
@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane I have something similiar.

When trying to use NoVNC the resistFingerprinting setting messes up the locale, so its not useable anymore.

I had to use NoVNC as a VPS change I did locked me out.

that we produced "Superfest" glass in Germany in 1970 but the market did not want it because it lasted too long.

Fun fact: The Gorilla Glass on your phone is actually using the same process that we created back 50 years ago.

In fact, the more I find out why the world is like it is now the more depressed it becomes.

What a world we live in. Money, greed and planned obscolence everywhere you look.

Airbnb refuses to take action on my address being used fraudulently in their system.: https://peroty.micro.blog/2024/04/30/airbnb-refuses-to.html

Anachron,
@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@peroty why are you being so nice?

Give them a date to have it resolved or else threaten them to go to the police, as Airbnb clearly isn't doing anything to prevent the issue and can be sued in such a case (IANAL though).

I wouldnt stay so calm if I were in your shoes.

Anachron,
@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@peroty nobody said anything about screaming.

Send them an Ultimatum and ask them to escalate if possible.

I have been on the other side as well and know how things wont progress unless a customer threatens.

Also, how important is the safety of your family to you?

So yesterday I ordered two identical products online, just a different color. Not from Amazon but directly from their Website. To support the vendor directly.

Turns out today I received the sending information. For one color. The other is still in preperation.

Why oh why? You told me to receive it quicker. But I never asked for it. Let me decide on ordering which one I want. I dont want to send 2 single items via mail.

I am so annoyed. This produces unnecessary waste, co2 and more.

Why can't modern smartphones be small and light? I hate walking around with a brick in my pocket.

Anachron,
@Anachron@fosstodon.org avatar

@thestrangelet because the majority wants a 7inch display in their pockets that they can barely hold to watch videos which dont matter to waste time which could be used better.

Too much critism? I am just tired of tech lately.

Found a nice little Website which lets me check my #password strength.

I like it because it also requires me to input the website and login name so it does not use some stupid general rule but adjusts. And that for only $5/month!

On a unrelated note, does anybody know how someone breached my Gmail and bank accounts recently?

(This is a joke. But it also shows how easy it is to mistake something like a security hole as a feature)
