  • It might be my personal preference, but i find conversations on mastodon hard to follow once there are more than a handful replies.

    Lemmy (or reddit) keeps the flow of comments well ordered and perfectly readable.

  • It's absurd that some of the larger LLMs now use hundreds of billions of parameters (e.g. llama3.1 with 405B).

    This doesn't really seem like a smart usage of ressources if you need several of the largest GPUs available to even run one conversation.

  • There is no way to be 100% sure, but:

    • bitwarden and ente have open source clients that ecrypt all data locally in a way that the provider can't restore data
    • nextcloud isn't optimal, while you can encypt data at rest, the provider might be able to spy on you
    • With mail providers it is difficult, but mailbox.org has my (personal) trust by building their business model on data protection and open source
  • I can and do self host, but I'm not willing to provide these services for free. I don't want to be responsible for other peoples passwords or family photos.

    Thats where good, privacy-respecting services come into play. Instead of hosting for my neighbours, I would recommend mailbox.org, bitwarden, ente or a hosted nextcloud.

  • The blog post contains an interesting tineline. Apparently, the first fix was not sufficient. So if you have updated Vaultwaren before November 18, update it again.

    Copy of the timeline:

    • End of October 2024: ERNW assesses Vaultwarden for the customer.
    • November 08, 2024: ERNW discloses the vulnerabilities to the Vaultwarden team.
    • November 10, 2024: Fix and release of Vaultwarden v1.32.4.
    • November 11, 2024: ERNW retests the software and identifies that the fix is not sufficient.
    • November 11, 2024: Public merge with fix and request for feedback by the Vaultwarden team.
    • November 12, 2024: ERNW acknowledges that the fix is complete.
    • November 18, 2024: Release of Vaultwarden v1.32.5.
  • I'm so thankful for what Let's Encrypt did for the internet.10 or 15 years ago it was as easy as installing an app to steal credentials from all other users on the local lan.

    Certificates were expensive and complicated, and not many used them.

  • Maybe try some TLS-based VPN? This should work almost anywhere, because it looks like a standard HTTPS connection.

    Wireguard - even on port 443 - is special as it uses UDP protocol and not the more widely used TCP protocol.

  • It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.

  • If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don't they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still "a few years away" at this point.

    Doesn't sound like they really have high ambitions.

  • Set the DNS cache time to 60 seconds.

    Set the script to run on every host delayed by some time to avoid simultaneously accessing the API (e.g. run the script every other minute).

    With this approach, you get automatic failover in at most 3 minutes.
