How does programmatic access tie into the desire for a login form?

Either way, you can do a login form -> basic auth forwarding page by rigging up some simple JS, or access programmatically in a direct way by simply setting a manual Authorization header.

Meanwhile on the mycology, houseplant, and gardening comms:

Still are.

And in February, the contractor that worked on the anti-vax campaign – General Dynamics IT – won a $493 million contract. Its mission: to continue providing clandestine influence services for the military.

Not to detract from the article, but this has actually been a long time coming and known as a vector for decades.

It’s extra work to maintain and test another release format — and the core developers want to focus on making software.

No one is stopping you from rolling your own flatpak.

No personal disrespect to you OP, but gotta call a spade a spade: this article is dogwater clickbait and not a good fit for this comm.

tape drives seem to be the best

Tape drives are the keytars of the tech world. They seem cool and a pro can really jam with them… but they’re not the most practical and you should really get a guitar or a keyboard until you know what you’re doing.

Yeet your shit onto rsync.net or sth else simple and call it a day, unless you’re in it for the meme.

It’s absolutely not a given that an OS that’s been battle-tested in prod for five years is less secure than one receiving hot supply chain injections every week.

The only major RCE I can think of since EOL in May is the recursive git clone one.

I’ll happily spin up a public 20.04 box if you wanna prove me wrong.

I do the same with Debian XFCE for work.

There’s really not much else to say: shit just works and stays out of the way. Boring but extremely effective.

@unruffled@lemmy.dbzer0.com - keep going mask-off.

Ban me too, cripplebrain. I am Spartacus.

I respect the spirit you’re going for, but FYI, Libby/Overdrive are private-equity owned and just as exploitative (if not more so) than the major publishers were.

Libby does not give libraries an unlimited license for digital books, but rather makes them pay what they would for a physical book, and allows them to loan out the digital copy a relatively small number of times (usually around ~4-5 IIRC) under the guise that a physical book would have been irreparably degraded after that amount of use. There’s a stream of billions of dollars being moved from non-consenting taxpayers going right to a monopolistic gatekeeper.

If we’re talking physical books, libraries are definitely still great for that, but I find that the vast majority of the time I look to check if they have a specific book I’m after, there are zero physical copies anywhere in the system, and all the digital “copies” are already “checked out”. E.g., I went looking for a copy of PKD’s Valis last week, and my options were: library audiobook (vomit), wait two weeks for a “checked out” digital copy from the library (vomit), buy from Amazon (vomit), or sail the seas.

So no, that’s a shitty substitute — libraries have been co-opted into an extractive, for-profit system and utterly perverted into a shell of what they were in the 20th century.

Absolutely not — the issue here is OP knowingly submitting false abuse reports.

Port scans of public hosts are not considered abuse per the CFAA or Amazon’s AUP without other accompanying signs of malicious intent.

https://aws.amazon.com/aup/

Amazon may take action against egregious mass-scanning offenders per the “…to violate the security, integrity, or availability of any user, network…” verbiage of the AUP, especially if they’re fingerprinting services or engaging in more sophisticated recon, but OP’s complaints are nowhere near meeting that threshold.

You should be able to get decent results if you pipe your tracks through demucs first to isolate the vocals.

Vanilla whisper will probably be better than whisperX for that use case though.

Depending on how esoteric your music library is, you can also build a lyrics DB with beets: https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/lyrics.html

Are you self hosting the long context llm, of do what are you using?

I did a lot of my exploration back when GPT4 128K over API was the only long-context game in town.

I imagine the options are much better these days between Llama 3/4, Deepseek, and Qwen — but haven’t tried them locally myself.

You’ll get used to it eventually, but you can e.g. tweak your PS1 to an all-caps hostname, or use a custom tmux layout with dedicated panes for each box you connect to.

Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.

In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.

You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.

I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.

This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.

Bovines are ungulates, and thus have hooves. These eggs do not have hooves, and therefore are not bovine eggs.

QED

Damn, what’s gonna divert and distract players away from the excessive fun of the core gameplay loop now?

Clue scrolls are supposed to be miserable. They build character, just like MTA or hosidius plowing for favour. _/s
