I don't think one has to be nonbinary to be okay with they/them pronouns. I know binary trans and cis people who use he/they and she/they.

Having an autonomous LLM agent in a homelab like this seems like just a matter of time before things go wrong, but it seems like an interesting experiment.

Have you had any issues with the agent behaving unexpectedly?

Is AI learning to/recommending to post on Lemmy now? It seems like we're seeing increasingly more vibe coded projects being advertised here.

This works if you trust every program you run with silent root privileges. Sure, don't run untrusted code in general, but I think it's generally good practice to lock down root privileges as much as possible. Layered security and all that.

The docker command doesn't have to allow you to run commands as administrator to function properly. You can simply leave the docker group empty and run docker commands via sudo. Using the docker group is essentially equivalent to enabling passwordless sudo as far as security is concerned.

Or you could just take a train

Let's get MasterCard on the case

Sims 4 is free, and there's a DLC unlocker that lets you get all the DLCs in your legit copy. You might have better success installing the EA app in Proton/wine, logging in a throwaway account, and then installing the official base game.

I also recommend Lutris instead of Steam for non-Steam games, I've found it easier to work with and it can also automatically add links back to Steam if you like having all your game in one place.

I feel like this is more likely to lead you astray than anything. An LLM bot will immediately know the alt code, while a real person will only know it if they use Windows. Lots of people use Linux, or mobile keyboards.

No, this is a phishing attack. Attackers create a fake website that asks for your email. You give your email, then they relay that address to the legitimate service. The legitimate service sends you an email with a code. The fake service asks for that code. If you give it, they then own your account.

If your bank app requires Play Integrity check Graphene will register as an unofficial OS, installing play services doesn't fix it. That said, only some banks ban custom ROMs via Play Integrity.

 

It seems that the issue was resolved behind closed doors, so it could have been resolved behind closed doors to begin with, and then if the defederation was to go ahead simply announce the defederation.

Making an announcement "it will be defederated in 48 hours" made for this weird countdown drama thread (we even had programming.dev people show up and be sad about defederation!) that didn't really go anywhere, and then y'all just locked it when we refederated and made it clear that you were never interested in input and you'll be running the instance as you please (which is well within your rights of course). So what was the point of the thread?

I can see how it is nice to have warning if a community you're involved in is going to be defederated, but it also drags drama to our nice little corner of the fediverse, and pins it at the top of our feeds for all to see. In fact it shows up as the top of every feed for me, Local, All, and Subscribed. I can't get away from it.

Every time these threads show up they end up blowing up. Honestly, if you didn't make these threads, I wouldn't care who you defederate. But because the thread exists, I have to come in and I have to have an opinion. That's a personal issue and I recognize that, but I would hazard a guess that I'm not the only one. People who have never interacted with Blahaj nor the instance getting defederated show up in these threads sometimes. These threads invite drama, and for me personally, whenever they come up they make this space feel significantly less safe and make me want to leave Lemmy as a whole because it feels like it's just nonstop defederation drama for days at a time, but it's pinned at the top of my feed.

Maybe these threads actually provide utility, and I should just take these threads as a sign I should take a break from the Internet for a bit. But to me, they just seem like they're all downsides.

 

I know you're supposed to pronounce it along the lines of "blo-hi", but the Anglicized "blahaj" is so hard to resist!
