Poor people who have to constantly clean that up...

Nice, thanks for sharing! I've been waiting for a guide like that.

For reference, here is the discussion about the same thing for the USA: https://lemmy.ml/post/12900909

Hmm, I think summarization is a bad example. I've read quite some AI summaries that miss the point, sum up to a point where the simplification makes sth wrong or the AI added things or paraphrased and made things at least ambiguous. Even with the state of the art tech. Especially if the original texts were condensed or written by professionals. Like scientific papers or good news articles...

What I think works better are tasks like translating text. That works really well. Sometimes things like rewording text. Or the style-transfer the image generators can do. That's impressive. Restoring old photos, coloring them or editing something in/out. I also like the creativity they provide me with. They can come up with ideas, flesh out my ideas.

I think AI is an useful tool for tasks like that. But not so much for summarization or handling factual information. I don't see a reason why further research coudn't improve on that... But at the current state it's just the wrong choice of tools.

And sure, it doesn't help that people hype AI and throw it at everything.

You probably found that old reddit post talking about shadowsocks?? I think that's unlikely unless you keep that very old app version around. (But there could be other software you're playing around with?)

These are large address spaces reserved in the early days of the internet. I have no idea if the DoD even uses that one actively. Maybe somebody repurposed that network? Maybe you operate an authoritative DNS server? Or you just got scanned by some random crawler looking for compromised systems or vulnerable IoT devices...

I found this additional info: https://blog.erratasec.com/2013/12/dod-address-space-its-not-conspiracy.html

Probably not. Since they're doing exactly this (drop a magnet link out of the blue) for the third time or so in a row... It's more likely a scheme than related to current happenings.

I think the recent LLMs are a breakthrough. Back in the 1970s people used expert systems. And you needed to put in lots and lots of if-then-rules by hand. Do the tedious job of creating knowledgebases and semantic connections... And the results were pretty limited. Nowadays you just feed in all the texts from the internet, do some magic and it'll autocomplete "This is how you change the oil in your car in 7 easy steps" and it'll autocomplete. They can write emails or roleplay a helpful assistant. Translating text is something that works quite well. All of that was unthinkable 10 years ago and utter scifi. The transformer architecture from 2017 has been some good progress. And I don't see why they shouldn't improve in capabilities in the time to come.

Tja. Als Argumentationsgrundlage für andere Menschen habe ich mir das mal als Lesezeichen gespeichert. Aber für die Politik ist das meiner Meinung nach auch die falsche Ebene. Schließlich geht es ihnen nicht um Kriminalitätsbekämpfung bei Vorratsdatenspeicherung oder um Kinder- oder Jugendschutz bei Chatkontrolle. Die Kinder z.B. werden nur instrumentalisiert um die Totalüberwachung voranzubringen.

Wobei ich das auch asozial finde jedem eine App für jeden Pups aufzudrängen und einen separaten Login und Postfach für jedes Bankkonto, Versicherung, Krankenversicherung und Strom-, Gas-, Internetvertrag und man alle paar Tage eine Mail bekommt dass irgendwo ein Dokument in irgendeinem Postfach abgerufen werden muss. Mit einem Briefkasten war das mal einfacher. Und ich wundere mich z.B. wie alte Menschen am Leben teilnehmen. Oder Leute ohne Datenkraken ihre Freizeitbeschäftigungen buchen.

MacOS? It has quite some additional stuff on top regarding sandboxing and fine permissions on the desktop that Linux is still missing.

And with some things I don't agree. QuebesOS looks like a pretty standard Linux with Xen and a few other things preconfigured (In a sane way.) I do the same with Debian. And I can apply hardening to the kernel. And do sandboxing, set capabilities for processes etc.

Also keep in mind that there are a lot of eyes on the Linux source code, BSD etc... And lots of specific migitations implemented. With other niche projects not so much... That could compromise your security at a different point. But all of that depends on your threat scenario.

What's your issue with Linux? The kernel? The userland?

Keep in mind that GrapheneOS is Android which runs a modified Linux kernel, too.

Maybe use one of the other operating systems?

Or less known things like Debian GNU/kFreeBSD or the Hurd kernel? or normal BSD?

Have you tried the more modern hardening approaches to Linux? Containerization / Virtualization?

What's the use-case and threat scenario?

Yes, please do that for Peertube. Creating videos can be expensive and some people do this as a living and they can't use Peertube because there isn't any monetization options.

But please leave me at least one space where i can casually talk to people and that's not all about money.

Edit: Also why specifically do that on a microblogging platform? And I think you missed the interesing aspects of federation. It should also factor that in and split donations between content creators, instance providers and software developers?!
