Genuinely curious, theoretically how valuable would a once and done service install of a private open source machine learning model on your local network that can do that skimming functionality be for you? A private box thats setup and just works? Is that even something people would want?

Less danger than OPsec nerds hype up but enough of a concern you want at least a reverse proxy. The new FOSS replacement for cloudflare on the block is Anubis https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis, while Im not the biggest fan of seeing chibi anime funkopop girl thing wag its finger at me for a second or two as it test connection, I cannot deny the results seem effective enough that all the cool kids on the FOSS circle all are switching to it over cloudflare.

I just learned how to get my first website and domain and stuff setup locally this summer so theres some network admin stuff im still figuring out. I don’t have any complex scripting or php or whatever so all the bots that try scanning for admin pages are never going to hit anything it just pollutes the logs. People are all nuts about scraping bots in current year but when I was a kid allowing your sites to be indexed and crawled was what let people discover it through engines, I don’t care if botnets scan through my permissively licensed public writing.

Its always been my impression that Lemmy appeals towards politically charged young adults in their 20s and 30s. Theres something about the anti-authoritarian stance of fediverse that appeals to the rebelious angsty liberal arts types. Keep in mind though these are just the most vocal whos opinions youll see most im sure theres plenty of people with good parent relations who just scrolled past without commenting. These types are old enough to realize the flaws of their upbringing and cook it into their woe-is-me victim complex but not yet experienced enough with life to grow past, let it go, and forgive despite. Really I do think having some older kids in your life helps put a perspective on the other side of things. Parenting isn’t easy especially when your life isn’t going so well to begin with.

To me it seems you have your priorities backwards which is common for people facing homelessness. That money should not be used for rent, youre just gonna be in the same spot next month facing eviction.

I dont know Newfoundland’s laws or transport systems, however If its at all possible, what you need to do is lease a box truck and move into it with your cat. It will be much cheaper than any rent and doubles as transportation for work to make money. Get a job any job will do.

A vehicle is an affordable shelter you can actually pay off/own. At a minimum, Every person needs a bed, food, water, cloths, wash cloths, a poop bucket, and some walls for security/privacy. Everything else is negotiable. Of course that lifestyle is a big learning curve, lots of adjustments. Better than being truly homeless though.

If youre the kind of person who has 10 different can’t,wont, dont know how excuses on speed dial for why this isnt an option for your life situation thats cool. Just suggesting a potential alternative you may not have considered.

On a related note, Ive always wanted to try shoving a sim card in my Linux laptop and use a voIP phone line with jmp or something.

I wish it was still required reading for kids but TBH 1984 wasnt a good read and were already living in survailence state reality so theres not much point trying to warn about it. Its bizarre to me that 1984 was presented to be like exaggerated dystopian fantasy like what government would actually waste resources on arson and public humiliation courts. 10 years later I find out the Chinese and their cultural revolution made Orwell’s 1984 setting look like a Iibertarians themepark by comparison. wonder if Orwell knew about the Chinese or if the realities of eastern culture make our worst fears and ideas of tyranical government control dystopia look quaint in comparison.

I agree with you but at the same time for steam enjoyers like me its feeling like:

I would, but im too busy getting the grill fired up ;)

The point they were trying to make is meat bad and you should feel bad for eating it. Notice how they took the typical 'how do you know someones a vegan because they tell you" schtick they undoubtedly got hit with and reflect it back on others.

Some people have no sense of pragmatic reality and need some cause to feel good about themselves. The solution for some is to force everyone around them to watch food inc and virtue signal to fill in the void of where a real unique personality + opinion set should be. According to vegans agriculture as a whole is evil and everyone who eats a hamburger is equivalent to a sociopath who tortures animals for fun.

Unfortunately they would have a point about cruelty and inhumane industrial farming practices, which is completely undercut by obnoxious high-horsing and blaming people for buying the hamburgers instead of the industry and lack of even the most basic rights for non-human animals. Fruits and veggie diet is good for you definitely, its a shame that people cant resist the urge to be smug pricks about it.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing.

looks up “Milk Snatcher” Margaret Thatcher again

“No.”

I rocked rechargable electronic arc lighter with hemp wick when I still did combustion I believe its a pretty solid combo if youre gonna smoke traditionally. Zippo has electric arc inserts but the cheap no named work okay too.

Burning hemp wick still adds soot and extra carcinogens but its arguably better than inhaling butane.

Vaporizers effectively cut out the need for hemp wick consumption and electric induction heaters paired with something like a dynavap make it so there’s no need for butane/gas flame.

I dont think anyone looks particularly flattering while zoomed in and demolishing a sandwhich. Thats an immensely petty thing to judge someone over. Was he supposed to cut it up with a knife and take tiny refined microbites or something?

Lmao you have no idea how right you are. Gives H.R Geiger a run for his money with some of the body horror in that book. That thing is tame compared to what else is in there. You’ll never see any art like it ever again though the author gets full points for unique vibes. it takes a very… Different mind to think and pen that stuff.

Its from a speculative evolution illisturation book called “All Tomorrows”

It should be same as seatbelt and airbag laws, with police being able to pull you over and issue tickets. Enforced with minor slaps on the hand.

The harsh truth most citizens especially us Americans don’t want to hear is that the average adult barely qualifies as sentient and no more able to accept accountability for their own actions than the children they pop out.

People want the freedom to do whatever they want and rant about liberties and rights. But when faced with consequences of their actions they tantrum about how its something elses fault, blame the system for not forcing their hand, and squirm their way out of responsibility at first opportunity while trying to sue sue sue.

Alternatively to to ticketing, you can ride without a helmet, but you must be exempt from public Medicare type insurance when your dumbass inevitably splatters your brains on a highway. You want the thrill? Fine. Accept resonsibility and pay up the price when it bites you, if you still can.
