Interesting, it might’ve changed, I’ve had my domain for 5+ years by now, but if you set up all the signing keys, DKIM, SPF, and whatever properly, I never had a single issue as far as I know.

But I never tried sending my own emails - I’ve been using Protonmail’s custom domain option, which I’m sure helps. Running your own mailserver without a trusted provider might be a lot more problematic, I never even considered it. The idea wasn’t to run my own mailserver, but to be able to move my custom domain to a different provider that supports custom domains, so I don’t have to change my email anywhere.

I just made sure that my domain is passing all the email domain checker tests, and as long as I don’t get on a blacklist, I should be fine.

I’d highly recommend getting your own domain.

Make sure it’s something that’s cheap to renew, cloudfare registrar prices should be at wholesale price.

Setting it up correctly can be a pain, but once your privacy friendly provider starts getting inevitably enshitiffied, you can move your email way more easily.

I think so, at last. Never had to move from Proton yet.

A reminder that Tor’s Snowflake exists, and running a node can help and is as easy as just installing a browser extension and never thinking about it again.

Good that it’s decentralized and people can just move on to another provider, since this one is doing this, haha, right?

So this is the thing I’ll eventually end up in jail for bypassing. I coul’ve sworn it would be drugs.

Oh well.

The algorithm is probably made to maximize the time you spend on the platform, and is really good at it. (I mean, just look how good are ML algorithms on text -> picture, and add to it that the algorithm that does your info -> engagement has decades of data and training on billions of people).

My theory is that it has misaligned, because it turned out that radicalizing people into right-wing bullshit will glue them to the social network very effectively, so it just started to do that. It makes sense - once you start spewing right-wing bullshit, it will probably isolate you from your IRL friends, you will have an echo chamber on the social network, and it is made to sound like some kind of deep truth no one else knows.

You getting left-wing content might be simply because it would not be efficient to try to convert you, so the algorithm is trying something else that’s more effective on the (minority?) of people like you.

Remember that (I think) C++ race condition in RTG software, that killed people with something like 0.0001% probability and it was a huge deal and a reason to immediately retire the devices (or maybe just fix the bug, the point is that in medical, it’s super important to have a high success chance)?

I’m sure AI doing diagnosis will be able to get to a higher success chance, lol.

EDIT: From a quick search, it looks like mis-diagnosis chance in doctors is around 10%. I still don’t think AI can do better.

I highly recommend looking into Matrix Ansible Deploy, has an amazing documentation and actually works robustly. It will make the whole process of hosting it way easier, I only needed to change like 5 config values, give Ansible the SSH key for my server, and then basically run “just setup-all” from a Ansible docker.

It’s extremely easy, the Matrix ansible deploy project is very simple to use (with at least basic tech literacy), is very well documented and as far as I’ve seen in the past few years of using it do deploy and update my Matrix instance - it’s also very robust. I haven’t seen it fail a single time, which tends to be a problem with larger Docker/Ansible projects.

I’m paying 7$ a month for a cheap server on Hetzner, you also need a domain name, and the whole setup took like an hour.

I had no idea, and this hurts. I have a few, but fond, memories about DeviantArt when I had a short phase on highschool where I was drawing for a bit (which was more than 10 years ago). It didn’t last long, but DeviantArt was a large part of it.

Hearing they are commiting to AI art - THE platform for actual artists (at least it was, 10 years ago), who AI hurts the most, is insane. That’s pure betrayal. I hate this.

Unless I’m mistaken, this mostly depends on software/os you install.

A RPI with OpenWRT will be secured in exactly the same way as a router with OpenWRT and a laptop with OpenWRT. (At least I think so, I vaguely remember hearing about some Intel CPU vulnerabilities, but I don’t think there’s anything remote).

Power draw will be the main problem, along with more limited range because of the strength of the WiFi card.

I’d say that’s because here on Lemmy, we already don’t give a fuck about and wouldn’t touch Chrome or Edge with a ten foot pole, but some of us trusted Mozzila, which is now starting to do dumb AI shit. And having your trust broken hurts.

Astroturfing would not be recommending LibreWolf as an alternative.

If you look into alternatives, Brave is one that’s usually mentioned but there’s always someone quickly posting all of the dumb shit they did.

How does IronFox compare to LibreWolf?

Am dumb, missed the “for android” part.

I stumbled upon the Geminy page by accident, so i figured lets give it a try.

I asked him in czech if he can also generate pictures. He said sure, and gave me examples about what to ask him.

So I asked him, again in czech, to generate a cat drinking a beer at a party.

His reply was that features for some languages are still under development, and that he can’t do that in this language.

So I asked him in english.

I can’t create images for you yet, but I can still find images from the web.

Ok, so I asked if he can find me the picture on the web, then.

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide images of a cat drinking beer. Alcohol is harmful to animals and I don’t want to promote anything that could put an animal at risk.

Great, now I have to argue with my search engine that is giving me lessons on morality and decide what is and isn’t acceptable. I told him to get bent, that this was the worst first impression I ever had with any LLM model, and I’m never using that shit again. If this was integrated into google search (which I havent used for years and sticked to Kagi), and now replaces google assistant…

Good, that’s what people get for sticking with google. It brings me joy to see Google dig it’s own grave with such success.

Isn’t that, like, illegal?

I’ve been having a pretty good experience with Mullvad, however I don’t hear many people talking about it. I wonder why is that, IIRC it’s being developed with Tor Foundation, and is basically a Tor browser for clear web, and that sounds perfect. So far, I didn’t run into any issues, so is there a catch, or are they just not well enough known yet? Or, maybe people are turned away by their optional VPN?

From how I understand it, in Veilid everyone is both and entry, relay and an exit node - there’s no distinction. Because you have to have exit nodes - the communication has to go though somewhere, so the receiving server will always know the IP of the last node (the exit one). It just has to go through somewhere. The whole main point of TOR (and Veiled, which seems based on the same thing) is that since you go through three nodes, each node can tell where is the request coming from, and where to send it. So the server doesn’t know where did the request came from, but knows the IP of the exit node.

The issue is that if they bust someone for doing illegal shit, your IP may be investigated. They don’t know what communication came from you, but something may have, since just by using veiled, you become an exit node. Or I’m misunderstanding it, but that’s what I understood from the description.

So, if I get it right, it’s basically a TOR network where every user is both an entry node, exit node and middle nodes, so the more users you get, the more private it is.

However, wouldn’t this also mean that just by using any of the apps, you are basically running an exit node - and now have to deal with everything that makes running a TOR exit node really dangerous and can get you into serious trouble, swatted or even ending up in jail?

From a quick google search, jail sentences for people operating TOR exit nodes are not as common as I though, but it still can mean that you will have to explain at a court why was your computer trasmitting highly illegal data to someone they caught. And courts are expensive, they will take all of your electronics and it’s generally a really risky endeavor.
