By the way, why are they called Tories?

Turing Pi 2.5 4-Node Mini-ITX Cluster Board Receives Hardware Upgrades
The Turing Pi 2.5 is an updated version of the Turing Pi 2.0, a 4-node mini ITX cluster board compatible with Raspberry Pi CM4 modules and Nvidia Jetson modules. This compact device is designed for applications such as building Homelabs, self-hosting, and machine learning tasks, as it is capable of continuous 24/7 operation. The Turing

Yeah, though sometimes the most clever devs aren’t always the best to deal with on a personal level. I seem to remember the (former?) lead dev on GrapheneOS (IIRC) was an ass hat and threw tantrums at the smallest things and would get stalkery and weird if someone criticised him, but he’s undeniably a brilliant coder and problem solver. Some people need to be more self aware of how their efforts might be harmed with their behaviour though.

@bender@twtxt.net wut da fuq?!

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know if there is/will be a Crowdsec bouncer to handle something like that. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I think it’s the massive data analytics and machine learning that allows them to distinguish these fake bots 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net What I mean is: without using or relying on Cloudflare!

Not sure how this can be applied for self hosters?

So basically it seems that Cloudflare has enough data that they can do machine learning to figure out whether the traffic behavior and patterns of bots even ones that fake their identity are really bots or not right?

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club That’s actually awesome! Happy seeing the pace at which it’s starting to pick up momentum as far as getting more eyes on the project, especially after the “Ladybird Browser Initiative” announcement, that surely got a lot more people talking.

I don’t remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here’s an article by Cloudflare “Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click” offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

After that talk about the Ladybird browser the other day, I see this article just pop up:

https://devclass.com/2024/07/03/ladybird-web-browser-project-now-funded-by-github-co-founder-promises-no-code-from-other-browsers/

Seems it’s gaining some recognition and support, I hope it can gain traction as we sure as anything need some genuine alternatives.

@bender@twtxt.net No but reading a bit of that post:

Because dynamic behavior is added to the page using normal HTML tags with custom attributes, it is difficult to provide additional security against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Is complete bullshit. It’s like one line of code (if you can call HTML “code”)

ADLINK Unveils NXP i.MX 93 and i.MX 8M Plus Based Open Standard Modules

@johanbove@johanbove.info To be fair htmx is about 10 years old already and Hypermedia systems over 30 🤣

@Prologic@twtxt.net No, haven’t had the need to. We’re sticking to trusted and true over latest and sleekest in this project. Perhaps next year.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I must admit I was tempted to use EndeavourOS for an install on a HTPC (N97 mini PC) when it arrives to quickly get up and running, but then again I haven’t done a fresh install of Arch in quite a while so it sounds like things have simplified even more since then. Hmm…

One more point, not necessarily for @bender@twtxt.net but for anyone else reading this. If you don’t want to use the command line, Arch probably isn’t for you. Linux Mint is much closer to a command-line-free distribution. Don’t be afraid of the command line, though. The command line is good for you.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, that one. It’s not a big deal unless you use Arch on a remote machine. You can expect some minor issues like this, but the Arch team does a good job of smoothing these things over with prompt updates and announcements like that if they can’t.

EndeavourOS is alright, better than Manjaro in my opinion. If you’re going to use an Arch based distribution, I would recommend just installing regular Arch. They have an install script now that makes the installation very easy if you want an average setup, but the manual installation isn’t that hard if you want something more specialized.

The Arch manual installation also gives you valuable knowledge on how to fix the system if it breaks.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club That would be really useful. I can’t train myself to do yay -Syuw and I don’t like having one package name on each line when confirming the upgrade.

Wrote a Common Lisp tool for making my life with Windows easier. Questioning my life. Hard.

I love Arch but they could probably do to have some of these warnings come down pacman itself

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually had to hook a monitor and a keyboard up to my server. This is the instability they talk about on Arch, which I’ve been experiencing a little more lately.

Another minor inconvenience could have been avoided by reading the Arch Linux news feed before upgrading.

(Updated) T-Display S3 Pro adds a 2.33” screen and phone OTG support
LILYGO has introduced the T-Display S3 Pro, a solution designed for portable applications that require multi-touch display support. This compact device not only boasts a 400mA battery but also integrates a range of sensors and offers optional IMU support. Similarly as the standard T-Display-S3 released some time ago, this upgraded version accommodates the following ESP32-S3

@prx@si3t.ch A banger! 🤘

@prologic@twtxt.net Regardless, Sentz looks really sketchy to me and I wouldn’t trust it at all. I think it would probably function properly; they probably aren’t going to outright steal your money (for now), but I have reservations about the confidentiality of transactions and what might happen to the ecosystem in the long-term.

Any “cryptocurrency” created by a for-profit company cannot be trusted. Plus, I’m not seeing a link to any source code from the home page either.

Swift on RISC-V: Launch of New Toolchain for RISC-V Hardware

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like any other payment service except it’s intermingled with some sketchy cryptocurrency. I would just bypass all that and use Monero instead.

I guess it’s called Sentz now? https://www.sentz.com/learn

Can anyone recommend and/or vouch for a Chrome/browser extension that lets me write rewrite rules for arbitrary links on a page? e.g: s/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch?v=([^?]+)/tubeproxy.mills.io/play/\1 for example? 🤔

Another day, another web app built 😅 This time tubeproxy, which still needs some tidying up project-wise (bugger all docs, setup guide, etc), but so far it works quite nicely. If you’re curious, you’re welcome to try it out at https://tubeproxy.mills.io – Although technically this meant for internal use (as I block Youtube at the network on purpose).

Additional features I’m thinking about next:

• Add to Plex (on-demand download, tag and update of the Plex archives)
  
• Subscribe (added to my ytdl-sub that subscribes to Youtube channels and stores nicely in Plex)

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club A huge effort. Andreas Kling is the lead of the SerenityOS project and he makes great videos on his YouTube channel. It’s mostly been monthly updates lately on SerenityOS and Ladybird but he also has a lot of programming videos where you get to see his process, fixing a bug or adding a feature from start to finish. I highly recommend his channel.

@bender@twtxt.net YES! They’ll be sucking on a 1000GB Lollipop per request! 😂 I bet their VPS providers will be happy! VERY happy!
