Yeah.

I mean I didn't buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I'm not obsessed about it.

Is it really any different for this guy?

I don't necessarily dislike "AI" but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.

If it doesn't work then quick cheap and easy I'd pointless.

I'll make you dinner every night for free but one night a week it will make you ill. Maybe a little maybe a lot.

You raise a good point.

I'm much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don't seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it's just part of the show.

The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that "some" ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. I'll take blissful ignorance thanks.

So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.

There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.

Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

Naming things is complicated.

It's not really a case where some organisation has the authority to name something. Rather people just call something a name, and organisations adopt that name.

I'm not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn't aware of that.

Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.

If only there were some way you could kind of refer viewers to the primary documentation for the project.

It's not that it's uncommon, but slightly different for each project.

I collated library would be kinda cool.

That said, I don't know how much utility this project would have.

Settle down mate.

I didn't say defaced websites are going to take down the government.

My implication was that it would be more effective than ranting on social media.

Yeah. I've only spent a few moments skimming through the linked article but if you were part of a legitimate hacktivism group planning a significant operation why would you publish this statement ?

It's really just spooky hyperbole - as though written by an adolescent that want's to sound scary and powerful.

I would absolutely love to see hacktivists cause some chaos, and maybe even some real financial harm.

I'm not going to write off hacktivism so quickly.

Even if it's just a few defaced websites now and then, that's a whole lot more effective than any other sort of activism I've seen to date.

 

I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

 

Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.

IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.

The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.

The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn't great and I think I'm more likely to mess something up than to have any success.

The thing is, I'm sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I'm sure there must be an easier way.

 

 

Gerbera is a UPnP media server. I've used it (and it's predecessor mediatomb) for many years. Rock solid. Works well with VLC.
