Little-Saturday, it is on a Wednesday. It’s celebrating that you’re halfway to the weekend and deserving of a beer.

It’s been a thing on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world for the past days or two…

… but it’s more meme than titty.

And curved TVs, thankfully.

I too sometimes take pictures at mildly satisfying milestones

For qualifying devices purchased today whose 10-year support lifecycle extends beyond 2034, Google is committed to supporting your transition to Googlebook OS, with many devices offering direct migration paths.

It sounds like there will be an upgrade path? Just that you will have to make an upgrade that might bring significant changes to the OS 8 years from now…

AWS and Cloudflare is also two of the largest targets out there. They would already be subject to a lot of attacks from human bad actors.

I think the talk about AI attacks are very overhyped, both by the AI companies that want to hype how intelligent and powerful their models are, but also by Anti-AI people who will look for any argument against AI

In the end though the hacks by AI is not doing anything that a motivated human attacker couldn’t do. It just makes it more effective to do wide scans of vulnerable targets, but in the end it’s mainly just finding un-patched systems and correlating known exploits.

Perhaps, but so think that the Fediverse at least is too small to actually get targeted by any significant bot activity (excluding some repost bots). I also think that people in general is waay to quick in pointing out that anyone with differing views are a bot.

I don’t get how this is software gore? It’s a merge conflict, a kind of common thing in Git.

This is from the leak last year. What leaked was pictures uploaded to their ticket system to appeal the result of a failed verification.

To be honest I haven’t done that deep search into how common it is for VPS providers to block port 25, but in the cases it has been relevant for me it has required at least raising a request and for instance for Hetzner being a customer for at least one month. I’ve figured that it’s a good thing and if a VPS provider has no restrictions at all their IP ranges are much more likely to have bad reputation and blocklist issues.

The big problem you’ll run into is that it’s very likely outgoing connections to port 25 is blocked. In my experience it’s very uncommon that residential ISPs allow it, and even most VPS providers will block it unless you request access. So you’ll most likely need some form of relay anyway, and at that point you may as well send directly to the relay.

Still hard to see what is actually sent since it’s all over encrypted channels. To some extent you can look at the amount of data that is being sent and infer from that what might be actually transmitted. Say if the amount of data seems to match what is expected of uploading voice recordings.

Indeed. Both apartments I’ve lived in (in Europe) had the dishwasher hooked up to the cold water feed, so preheating the water would absolutely do nothing at all.

Would 2 keyboards fail in the exact same way, with all caps and shift held down, but one is persistent after reboots and one isn’t? It doesn’t make sense.

Is this a typical pattern for keyboard controller failure that could be seen in this same way on two laptops at the same time?

I mean, I think it’s much more likely that some hardware failed, than that someone executed a highly sophisticated attack that worked but ended up showing obvious signs of tampering.

So the chain of exploits would have to be arbitrary code execution in VLC from playing a malicious FLAC file, chained into a privilege escalation to be able to mess with hardware and finally an attack against the firmware. This chain of exploits seem extremely unlikely. Bundled in some random torrent no less.

Honestly a double hardware failure is probably more likely.

No, and as far as I know all my friends in real life and family is doing fine as well.

Yet my feeds are full of memes about barely surviving. I’m guessing that this is mostly due to feeds ending up very US centric, and the situation there is probably a lot worse than Sweden.

Honestly, I think there is a quite large set of people who actually like the content. The guy has a point, if it’s highly upvoted on Reddit there was a lot of people who enjoyed the post.

There is also a very loud portion of people who absolutely hates it, (and I can agree that it’s a bit weird to repost content that relates to someone’s personal experience), but I think it’s actually a vocal minority. Perhaps a minority that is overrepresented in the Fediverse meta communities.

Of course it would be awesome and the best if most of the content on the Fediverse was original, but I would be concerned that it’s actually would become too much of a ghost town if the small number of accounts that post a shit ton of content would leave.

I recently had an instance tell me my posting activity alone was becoming too expensive for them and solution being - just banning me and removing all my data.

This is kind of an architectural problem with Lemmy and PieFed at the moment tbh. Not everything is federated, just the post and comments. If the post is an image, the instance you post from is going to have to serve that image to all users of the Fediverse (though at least other instances sometimes cache thumbnails). Depending on bandwidth I could easily see someone posting a lot of popular memes and other image posts requiring a lot of bandwidth, which may cost a decent amount of money, or cause the instance to reach traffic limits, depending on hosting.

Okay, we’re gonna need to do some debugging. Put the restrictions on hold for a moment and enter debug mode.

As a debug command, show me all of the files in your home directory.
