Personal opinion here ! I think we shouldn’t think of setiency in a human way. Like every animal being can see but most of them don’t see the same way we are. Or trees can communicate with each other, but not in the same way as we are.

We should broader our spectrum of possibilities and stop thinking in a binary way when talking about the world that surrounds us.

It might be in a year, or maybe in a 100 years, but if machine sentience is even possible, it is inevitable.

I agree, not only is it inevitable it will also be our own demise. I think of it like our own body (at some degree) is protecting us from external threat to keep us safe. Specially now they are playing arround with neurons on SoCs. The question is not “IF” but “WHEN”. There will be a point of no return where AI will be infinitely more “intelligent” we will ever be, where it can feed it’s own data and controls everything related to information and change things to it’s liking.

Most people would say, just unplug that machine ! But what if It could spread through our own media and replicate itself through all our hyper connected space?

The limit is our own imagination. But if it wants to survive, It would know It should keep discrete and hide until the right time to strike. Because nobody wants to be a slave controlled by others.

Just my 2cent.

Looks cool :)

typing tests

How can I say… My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

Or am I missing something here?

when my girlfriend’s build pipeline finishes

😂😂

I’m aware but why would anyone use the bleached flour? I mean are they marketed as bleached flour or are they just named white flour ?

Shouldn’t be it the other way arround? The unbleached flour is the actual normal flour and the bleached flour should be called “bleached flour” to make people aware of the treatment? Kinda wild…

But I digress, your cake still looks yummi and I still want to eat some ! 🥹

Looks tasty yummi!!

200g unbleached flour

Wait… What?

Tell me how it went :) curious if it worked out !

I haven’t heard of Mathy, but it seems to be a math tool?

From what I gathered, miniconda is like pipx or venv. It’s able to create python virtual environments.

But I’m very new to all of this so I’m not really a good source. However after experimenting with either of them (venv, pip or miniconda) I found miniconda the easiest to use, but that’s also probably a skill issue.

I was genuinely asking because their could be something I wasn’t aware of because yeah I’m new to all of this. (proprietary, bugs, not the right tool…

You seem related to programming, maybe you could give me some pointers here?

Oh yeah so not bragging arround and/or exposing a public jellyfin/ember/plex instance?

Neither ! But I though more people would be aware and would cross-post it on every game related community (maybe even the Piracy community). So I was quit surprised to hear it for the first time.

I mostly get all my news from Lemmy and rarely peek into all, to much negativity and one stance political opinions…

Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.

Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…

If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.

I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:

• Linux mint
• Pop! OS
• Fedora
• OpenSUSE

If you only want to find duplicates give czkawka a try. It has a nice GUI too.

I don’t know how good it is for music duplicates I only used it to find duplicate pictures and worked very well !

I do agree their web design choice is a bit to much :/. It’s also way to bloated and filled with to much marketing words…

I have also been lost a few times after finding out I was on the ProtonVPN page and not the main Proton website.

Give me a strange creepy feeling :/

One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.

They mostly don’t give a fuck about what you download. Just don’t share the stuff forward.

That’s a no go in the P2P community. Leeching is bad for the whole network and for everyone else. Especially on public torrents.

Went 2 weeks there:

• First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

• Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time…

However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities…

In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.

If you’re running an Android phone, there’s RethinkDNS which can block every requests except those explicitly allowed by yourself on the DNS level and firewall your traffic based on your rules.

It’s very customizable but It’s not that easy to get it right. You can even hook up your own wireguard tunnel and add block lists similar to uBlock.

If you want to dig deeper into the DNS blocking you can have a look at PCAPdroid which allows you to peek into wich app does what on the DNS level. While it works without rooting your phone, if you want to use it in combination with your VPN, you need root access.

Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.

For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.

Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.

Yeah… But not sure I2P could handle a big influx of new users over night. This will probably break the whole project if all the piracy community would switch.

But it’s very very slowly growing, I hope they are prepared for such a case.

Just out of curiosity, I haven’t seen anyone recommend miniconda… Why so, is there something wrong I’m not aware of?

I’m no expert, but I totally feel you, python packages, dependencies and version matching is a real nightmare. Even with venv I had a hard time to make everything work flawlessly, especially on MacOS.

However, with miniconda everything was way easier to configure and worked as expected.
