What’s the “best practices” for DNS these days besides running your own local service?

By design

“We MUST make the foxes the watchers of the hen-house! It will make everybody safer!”

Need to retry this at some point, last time i tried it, the Kindle app worked in Wine but had no connection, i suspect this was a Wine configuration issue

There’s absolutely nothing preventing it

Before anything, will this get a bunch of not technically knowledgeable people flagged by the *AA corps?

They’re not

Reproduced here, Chromium on Linux Mint desktop. You need to have open a Google.com site for it to work though.

The Beehaw maintainers already said they plan to move to something else, as when they complained about unimplemented moderation features the devs acted like douchebags and outright told them to leave the platform if they didn’t like it, when they move on from Lemmy i will follow them to whatever they move to, hopefully still on Fedi

You assume they give a fuck

How the hell does he do so much? 😄

I recall somebody’s working on actual, E2EE Mastodon DMs, but couldn’t give you details, i guess when it’s ready we’ll know when people start using it

It’s the same link as the NES one

• “Are the employees gonna see a cent of this?”

• “Fuck, no!”

I don’t want an LLM to chat with or whatever folks do with those things, i want a command i can just install, i call the binary on a terminal window with an image of some sort as a parameter, it returns a single phrase describing the image, on a typical office machine with no significant GPU and zero internet access.

Right now i cannot do this as far as i know. Pointing me at some LLM and “Go build yourself something with that” is the direct opposite of what i stated that i desire. So, it doesn’t currently seem to exist, that’s why i stated that i wished somebody ripped it off the Firefox source and made it a standalone command.

Since it’s been mentioned a lot this week because of these changes, here’s David Revoy’s guide to a fully FOSS professional digital painting setup, not perfect because many, MANY things aren’t working as they should yet (both the move to Wayland and to Appimage/Flatpak have complicated things and lots is broken), but he guides you to a setup that works today.

There’s also the option of different commercial stuff (The Affinity suite, DaVinci products, etc.), but i’m a bit biased

So, it’s possible to build but no one has made it yet? Because i have negative interest in messing with that kinda tech, and would rather just “apt-get install whatever-image-describing-gizmo” so i wouldn’t be the one who does it

Now i want this standalone in a commandline binary, take an image and give me a single phrase description (gut feeling says this already exists but depending on Teh Cloudz and OpenAI, not fully local on-device for non-GPU-powered computers)

Good old Scunthorpe problem

Yes

It’s a commons, it’s the same principle

Wait, it supports bangs? That’s the #1 thing that keeps me specifically with DDG, once i have some time i’ll have to explore this (probably not earlier than a couple weeks though)

The so-called “tragedy of the commons” is an invention out of nowhere by a white supremacist

Thanks!

If you remember please let us know 👍

Promoting nazism IS inherently putting people in danger, that IS their thing

45 minutes long video, is there a text/blogpost version of this?

Yeah, i was not necessarily looking for a hosting by the project devs, just seeing if there was some company offering managed hosting like masto.host and others do for Mastodon and so on, i have a general idea how much would it cost to have managed Mastodon and was curious about other Fedi options for this

If i were so inclined, is there recommended managed GoToSocial hosting somewhere?

Guessing from other comments, looks like annoying and unusually common issues using Matrix

Had a longer answer that went away for some reason 😭

Your criticism is fair, but:

• Using the email as a seed on the generator goes halfway there, here’s an example, although of course it could never change
• Centralizing the avatar opens that service up to be grabbed for tracking like Gravatar did, or breaking the security of a site by injecting code without the consent of the site owner. The usual tradeoff between security/privacy and convenience.

Would be good to have a good user-managed way to do the same (well, beyond using an image on your own hosting, i guess)

Dammit yes! Mandatory shot out to David Revoy and his replacements of it (and the blog post where he mentions how he divested himself of CDNs).

Bought by Automattic? After they non-consensually took all of Tumblr and hosted Wordpress to train AI? And after their big boss revealed his transphobia? I guess i’ll skip this one

For the lazy

Here’s the actual source, the original investigation post is linked in it too

That’s just a different color of casino chip, in the end is still cryptocurrency, which as mentioned is not where we want to be

Just earlier today i saw this phrase about cryptocurrency: “price discovery for bitcoin happens on an exchange that admitted a few months ago to being a criminal conspiracy”. Yeah, there’s HUGE problems with central banks, but by this point it should be very clear that a wild west casino full of scammers will not save us from that, it doesn’t matter what were the initial ideals of people about crypto, it’s main function now and for many years since it’s beginnings has been scamming real money out of people.

Can’t say i feel like i have fully wrapped my head around this solution, but having migrated Mastodon instances before i see the need for it, this could help a lot as mentioned. And in addition, lots of people usually have multiple accounts across Fedi (“Here’s my main Mastodon one, here’s a Lemmy one, here’s one on Bookwyrm to rate books, here’s a Pixelfed one, etc.”) and this could help unify them which is good, “I’ll log in with this account on this server i had never seen before and it just works”.

That said, having either repeatedly seen (or occasionally, personally had) TERRIBLE experiences in the past with linked accounts on commercial platforms (like when somebody gets their Gmail account banned for whatever reason and suddenly their whole online life is halted down to banking, or when linking two unrelated accounts lets one company access to spy on the person much deeper than before, or many other cases) i have to say that i feel a visceral level of discomfort at the possibility of this coming to Fedi, even if i feel this might just be paranoia I’m still not sure what kind of power would bad actors gain over you in this setup, like admins of rogue instances, Big Tech spy-happy corporate entities once they do fully arrive here, hackers who suddenly have a magical key over everything yours, etc.

No matter how many constraints you add, it’s never enough, that’s the weakness of a model that only knows language and nothing else
