In-reply-to » The day will come when I’ll have to dig up why every process can interact with every other process’s file descriptors by means of /proc/$pid/fd on Linux (if it’s the same user). Is there a legitimate reason for that … ? (I know about hidepid, but that doesn’t help here.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes but this is easy with unshare

In-reply-to » Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft Edge has a built-in image enhancement tool that, according to Microsoft, can use “super-resolution to improve clarity, sharpness, lighting, and contrast in images on the web.” Although the feature sounds exciting, recent Microsoft Edge Canary updates have provided more information on how image enhancement works. The browser now warns that it sends image links to Microsoft instead of performing on-device enhancements. The biggest problem w ... ⌘ Read more

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net What the hell?! Browsers now send images to a central service for further processing?! 🤦‍♂️

This is why the PID Namespace controller exists in Linux 👌

In-reply-to » wanted to use my oculus to do some flightsimming on Friday, but now Meta forces you over to facebook. super annoying message that constantly pops up in the desktop client, but then after 10 minutes of flying they show the same message in fullscreen inside the VR glasses. so fuck them. I will try and get it to work on linux instead one day soon when I have time.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Oh man that sucks 😱 Fuck Facebook and Meta 😆

In-reply-to » A GTK 4 application showing an empty window uses about 160 MB of RAM:

~160MB of memory just to show an empty window?! And some think a few (single digit) MB of memory is bad for Go web apps that serve “Hello World” 😅

In-reply-to » Finally, I realize how this twtxt-pod works by following external users and having an internal user. However, now I have two repeated users, here and there. Nobody follows the user from there, but this is absolutely normal: nobody knows that user xDD

@thiegui@twtxt.net It’s all just Twtxt feeds 😅

EMERGENCY EPISODE: Ex-Google Officer Finally Speaks Out On The Dangers Of AI! - Mo Gawdat | E252 - YouTube – I’m listening to this podcast, an interview with a former Googler, and this struck me:

And very soon they’ll come up with things we’ve never seen before.

But how?! if the transformers and the trillions of pages of text ChatGPT was trained on just predicts the next token/word, what possible mechanism will get to that next level of “Oh, now it learns and creates new things on its own”? 🤔 I don’t get it 🤷‍♂️

In-reply-to » Russia blowing up the Nova Kakhovka dam is an incomprehensible war crime. Among other things, it drains water from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, water that is needed for cooling. They are trying to generate a widespread disaster.

Has anyone tried to call Mr. Putin and say please stop? 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Ahh I see. Admittedly I haven’t been really following the the war, maybe I should have, but I find the whole things a waste of human existence 😢 I only hope one day Putin and his “henchmen” pay for their crimes.

Hmmm whilst I agree with you, I worry about this sort of thing s lot.

In-reply-to » NanoPi R2S -- Thinking about getting a NanoPi R2S to play with, but if you try to get just one (which presumably ships from China) its estimated to cost about $70 in shipping to Australia 😱 That's 2x the cost of the product just in shipping alone?! wtf?! 🤦‍♂️

Based on some experimentation of the “Shipping Estimator” on the site, looks like they charge $70/kg for shipping. I’d better get two of ‘em then 🤣

In-reply-to » Hehe, as you all might have noticed - I test OS'es often. NixOS was too much of a pain to work efficiently in (the way I wanted), so hopped over to Fedora now. Got all my stuff working there now, as well as the desktop client. I really like how portable the code is, and how easy it is to compile on different os'es. Installed fedora with LXQT, I really like that desktop, I do not like gnome at all - I really dislike the way gnome works. LXQT is just what I need.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no One day I gotta get you to run GoNix 🤣

In-reply-to » Incurred ~16 dropouts over the last 48hrs with ~5m outage per dropout. So I finally cracked the shits and run up my ISP to figure wtf was going on. 🤔 Turns out after a quality test on the line it was showing ~5-6DB average SNR 😱 So filed a fault with the infrastructure provider (NBN Co) whose own equipment picked up the 16 dropouts and also found noise 1/2 way up the 450m Copper cable 😅

And later on in the document on How vDSL works in Australia:

Prior to the deployment of VDSL2 technology for
FTTN, FTTB, and FTTC, the main DSL technology
employed in Australia was ADSL / ADSL2+ which
used signals up to 2 Megahertz (MHz). To achieve
much higher speeds than ADSL, VDSL2 expands
the DSL signal spectrum to up 17 MHz, which
happens to overlap with many Australian amateur
radio signal bands.

Interestingly if you dig around, you come across this article:

Mitigating Amateur Radio Interference
to VDSL2 published by NBN Co, which basically states:

Some of the frequencies used by amateur radio
operators coincide with frequencies used by
VDSL2 technology, used by nbn to deliver nbn™
Fibre to the Node (FTTN) services.

Meanwhile have asked my ISP to switch me back over to what NBN call a “Stability Profile” where the DSLAM uses DLM (Dynamic Line Management) to manage the channels and noise and tries its best to keep the signal up. So far this has resulted in a ~10-20Mbps drop in bandwidth (down from ~90Mbps) but so far 🤞 an increase in stability and decrease in latency (less noise? better channels?)

This has resulted in an availability of 99.8% for the Mills DC 😢 Not happy 🤬

In-reply-to » @movq I clone the important stuff on two separate clusters, but both are in my house. One of these days I'm planning to ask my brother to put a server of mine in his house, and then we can cross-clone for offsite backups that don't require the cloud.

Been thinking this too 👌
