Syntax highlighting for code blocks is the reason I prefer discord over slack for collaborating and just chatting with friends who know how to code. I imagine some irc clients exist that so the same, but at least with discord I know my recipient is guaranteed to see what I see.

Sounds like either federation working as intended, or some client app trying to cache info about your instance. Might be https://fedidb.com/ or https://fediverse.observer/ or some other service.

From my understanding of word embeddings (as used by LLMs), you could skip the LLM and directly compare the similarity of what the STT outputs to each task or phrase in a list you have prepared. You’d need to test it out a few times to see what threshold works, but even testing against dozens of phrases should be much faster than spinning up an LLM - and it should be fully deterministic.

plus my passwords are partials (I salt them)

I’m curious how you make that work - do you just remember the salts, store them separately, or what? I have like 50-70 passwords in my store currently, there’s no way I’m remembering a (true random) salt for each one.

I use pass for my passwords, and it has an otp extension that I’ve been using more and more. I used to use aegis but I have needed to switch phones one too many times without having access to the previous phone to be comfortable with phones for 2fa.

Of course, this isn’t as secure as a truly separate OTP solution, but it’s still better than no OTP/2FA. And I can easily enough back up and restore my 2fa access over the internet, even on a new computer (albeit I need to also backup a PGP key that can decrypt the password store to truly be portable).

It’s very crazy. Sadly this isn’t the first time it’s happened, and as a behavior it tends to get passed on from generation to generation.

See the Romans calling all non-romans “barbarians”, the numerous falsehoods used to justify European colonization of the rest of the world and the chattel slave trade, the decade or so of virulent antisemitism that the Nazis helped build up before they ever built the first gas chamber, etc. See also Radio Genocide in Rwanda for a more recent example, or how spokespeople from the Israeli government compared Palestinians to cockroaches and other vermin in the days after the October 7 Hamas-led attacks.

Nine times out of ten, it is no accident but rather intentional propaganda. Someone (or some group) decides that they need what others have, and sets about preparing their fellow humans to be ok with taking it.

In a sense, it’s precisely because it is so awful a thing that we have gotten so skilled at doing it [to each other]; if you can dehumanize someone it’s a lot more feasible to take their stuff for yourself. And it can be very tempting to take the easy way out and take from others instead of figuring out how to provide for yourself.

Not to mention it is easier to write off a being’s inherent wants or needs if you are convinced they are lesser than you, and in many Western societies we have an existing cultural legacy of “god gave humans the earth to inherit as their dominion” which predisposes us towards deciding for other beings what their existence should be like without ever considering that the being in question gets a say.

Sorry if this became a bit of a ramble, I’ve been hung up on the issue of dehumanization ever since learning about how the Nazis rose to power in grade school and realizing that nothing was being done in society around me to prevent that sort of thinking from taking hold [again].

If I had to guess, I would say the main difference is you (still) see non-israelis as being just as human as Israelis. Whereas Netanyahou has probably dehumanized them to be less than cockroaches in his own psyche.

Pretty easy to sleep at night if you’ve convinced yourself you’re “cleaning up vermin” 🤮

Kudos for developing this on your phone! I’ve played around with termux, even have a Bluetooth keyboard, but I’ve never had the courage to actually code through it.

I often see LogSeq, and to a lesser extent Silver Bullet, mentioned as self-hostable alternatives to Obsidian that people actually appreciate using.

Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault’s work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone’s public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

Ok but if it allows anubis to judge the soul of my bytes as being worthy of reaching a certain site I’m trying to access, then the program is not making any calculations that I don’t want it to.

Would the FSF prefer the challenge page wait for user interaction before starting that proof of work? Along with giving them user a “don’t ask again” checkbox for future challenges?

To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn’t: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.

I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.

I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.

I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I’m at home and the forgejo when I’m not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.

Thanks

🎶 Just a pair of Hitler fanboys, preparing to enter the white house 🎶

I can’t believe it just clicked for me that we shouldn’t be watching out for the “next Hitler” (which I was getting ready to assign to trump based on the past 9 years) but a group of fetishizing copycats.

Reminds me a bit of how Robert E. Lee and much of the confederacy saw themselves as real-life Misérables (https://boundarystones.weta.org/2019/05/13/how-les-miserables-became-lees-miserables).

The common point between Lee, Hitler, and the Misérables is they were all lost causes in the end (thankfully). Hopefully today’s regressive shit-stains-of-a-human-being will go the same way.

Interesting how this resembles what I was taught in school about the roles that coffeeshops played in the European “Enlightenment”.

I think I would have more sympathy with those focusing on the “not all men but always a man” sign if this weren’t in the context of a woman being drugged by her husband and then said husband inviting about 50 random men to rape her, over 10 years.

One of the worst times to advocate for men’s rights/issues is when everyone is talking about the heinous crimes a bunch of men have done. Especially if the comments you’re leaving are focusing on how women rape just as much as men do, etc.

First there was no difference between gaza/the Palestinians and Hamas, now there’s no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon…

Late to this thread, but this is disturbingly similar to the media-bashing a French-Palestinian politician has received recently.

She tweeted something along the lines of “time for an uprising” before attending a conference. The following week+ of interviews with her party colleagues were filled with “did you know uprising in Arabic is intifada?! Why is your colleague calling for violence?!?!?!”

Her name is Rima Hassan if you’re interested.
