At least the kernel requires disclosure of AI use. The new Debian “policy” doesn’t even require that.

The fucked up thing about AI right now is that AI companies get to act like we’re in a post-copyright world, pirating from literally everyone, while the rest of us are still stuck in copyright hell.

I think intellectual property as a concept is bad, but I think that as long as it still exists companies need to be held to task when they flagrantly violate it. It needs to be enforced universally, or not at all. I don’t think it’s realistic that the rich will dismantle IP in the name of AI progress, I think we’re just seeing what we’ve always known which is that money lets you get away with anything.

Having an autonomous LLM agent in a homelab like this seems like just a matter of time before things go wrong, but it seems like an interesting experiment.

Have you had any issues with the agent behaving unexpectedly?

Is AI learning to/recommending to post on Lemmy now? It seems like we’re seeing increasingly more vibe coded projects being advertised here.

This works if you trust every program you run with silent root privileges. Sure, don’t run untrusted code in general, but I think it’s generally good practice to lock down root privileges as much as possible. Layered security and all that.

The docker command doesn’t have to allow you to run commands as administrator to function properly. You can simply leave the docker group empty and run docker commands via sudo. Using the docker group is essentially equivalent to enabling passwordless sudo as far as security is concerned.

Or you could just take a train

T-Mobile doesn’t even have CGNAT, it’s single-stack IPv6. IPv4 gets routed via NAT64.

Except as written, it’s only a path to knowing who all children are, not the adults who are usually the ones advocating for taxing billionaires. Sure, they might change the law, but that doesn’t make starting it this way any less bizarre. I don’t understand what reason there would be to make it harder to make a child account than an adult account by only IDing children.

This is bizarre. Why would they force people under 18 to verify their birth date, but if you’re over 18 you can just enter your birth date with no verification?

Usually you only care about verifying the age of people over 18. What’s this law trying to accomplish by only verifying children?

Do you know where it says you can’t unarmed strike while holding a two handed weapon? I’m not seeing a requirement for a free hand in the rules.

Unarmed strikes with kicks and elbows and such aren’t just flavor, it’s written in the rules that you can use any part of your body.

Instead of using a weapon to make a melee attack, you can use a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow. In game terms, this is an Unarmed Strike—a melee attack that involves you using your body to damage, grapple, or shove a target within 5 feet of you.

The mechanics don’t state you need a free hand anywhere.

The age assurance thing is ridiculous but it doesn’t lock out people under 18 from the OS, it just records their age and has to tell it to every program on their computer so those programs can change their behavior based on whether the user is a minor, ostensibly so that programs meant for adults only can lock out minors without having to individually age verify the user.

I definitely feel the lab burnout, but I feel like Docker is kind of the solution for me… I know how docker works, its pretty much set and forget, and ideally its totally reproducible. Docker Compose files are pretty much self-documenting.

Random GUI apps end up being waaaay harder to maintain because I have to remember “how do I get to the settings? How did I have this configured? What port was this even on? How do I back up these settings?” Rather than a couple text config files in a git repo. It’s also much easier to revert to a working version if I try to update a docker container and fail or get tired of trying to fix it.

Just put everything that doesn’t have OIDC behind forward auth. OIDC is overrated for selfhosting.

I occasionally use middle mouse paste, but I switched my partner over from Windows recently and they were used to scrolling by holding MMB and dragging which seems to be the default on Windows…

I expected there to be a toggle to turn off middle mouse paste but there just wasn’t. I had to go into multiple different places to disable it and enable autoscroll for all their apps. I ended up installing a hacky tool that would just clear the clipboard whenever MMB was pressed.

If anything can make this process easier, I’m all for it.

Base 1 usually uses ones, because it represents summation at that point. Using zero as the numeral would be a bit awkward. Also historically zero is pretty new.

Tally marks are essentially a base 1 system.

You’re arguing two different points here. “A VPN can act as a proxy” and “A VPN that only acts as a proxy is no longer a VPN”. I agree with the former and disagree with the latter.

A “real” host-to-network VPN could be used as a proxy by just setting your default route through it, just like a simple host-to-host VPN could be NOT a proxy by only allowing internal IPs over the link. Would the latter example stop being a VPN if you add a default route going from one host to the other?
