  • I've been tinkering with pmOS for a few days, trying to fix some issues with my old oneplus3t

    I'm still far from being able to daily drive it (trying to launch an X server crashes the whole thing, some physical buttons are not detected, and I rely on a dirty hack to even get the onscreen tty to refresh) but it has been a really interesting learning journey.

  • From a quick search on my instance, I could find 3 posts that are still up, and I could also find specific comments I remembered from a post that got removed since.

    That's at least 4 occurrences on Lemmy alone

    I did not criticize people sharing it here, but rather Ente themselves for making vague fear-mongering claims for viral marketing purposes

  • What's up with this website popping in my feed for the 6th time in less than a week ?

    Edit : nevermind, after digging the website for a grand total of 5 seconds, it appears to be an advertising website for Ente (which has a paid plan besides being self hostable). That's shitty marketing from them if you ask me

  • When looking at the CVE itself, it seems like a bug that only gets triggered on a very specific corner case that neither the client or website alone can trigger.

    Of course, it's good that it gets reported and fixed, but I'm pretty sure these kind of bugs can only get caught by people randomly stumbling on them

  • You've probably read about language model AIs basically being uncontrollable black boxes even to the very people who invented them.

    When OpenAI wants to restrict ChatGPT from saying some stuff, they can fine tune the model to reduce the likelihood that it will output forbidden words or sentences, but this does not offer any guarantee that the model will actually stop saying forbidden things.

    The only way of actually preventing such an agent from saying something is to check the output after it is generated, and not send it to the user if it triggers a content filter.

    My point is that AI researchers found a way to simulate some kind of artificial brains, from which some "intelligence" emerges in a way that these same researchers are far from deeply understanding.

    If we live in a simulation, my guess is that life was not manually designed by the simulation's creators, but rather that it emerged from the simulation's rules (what we Sims call physics), just like people studying the origins of life mostly hypothesize. If this is the case, the creators are probably as clueless about the inner details of our consciousness as we are about the inner details of LLMs

  • Thank you for the clarification.

    I've also read that it's illegal in Switzerland to gather IP addresses because they are considered sensitive PII. Do you know about this, and does it protect me in any way if I use a swiss datacenter IP for seeding my torrents ?

  • This does not answer the question I asked. I've already considered a commercial VPN and I've ruled it out (clearly not cheaper, unless you can find a decent VPN with port forwarding that costs less than 2€/month)
