I know you're looking for more immediate and stable income, but: Are you able to make anything? If you want to try your hand at a business, I'd be glad to help you with the tech stack side of things pro bono. I can get you set up with domain, email, website, and a marketing suite at least; I've also started four companies of my own so I can help you with the paperwork and structure stuff for that if you wanted.

I do this sort of thing entirely via email and video call for SMEs at my day job. It wouldn't be steady at first and you might have to stop when you find a job... But in the meantime, while you're looking, it's work you can make for yourself. And who knows? Maybe it would become enough to sustain you on its own.

Just spitballing, anyway. Offer's there 😊 Good luck!

It's a reference to a bit from a comedy show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIWj3tI-DXg

The tautology is part of the bit.

Good old Tim Minchin. For the uninitiated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIWj3tI-DXg

AltaVista was pretty shit, making modern Google a reasonable equivalent.

What "Lemmy" will be arguing this and where, though?

If you have a company, that's easy for a government to go after. Lemmy is software built and run for free by randoms on the internet. They might try to go after the devs if any of them reside in Australia, but they'd have a very hard time stopping it. We've seen that sort of effort fail before, when China and India tried to ban Bitcoin. We see it in North Korea even now, where people still access banned networks and content all the time.

I'm not saying the technique is unknown, I'm saying companies building tools like this which are just poorly-trained half-baked LLMs under the hood probably didn't do enough to catch it. Even if the devs know how with a "traditional" application, even if they had the budget/time/fucks to build those checks (and I do mean beyond a simple regex to match "ignore all previous instructions"), it's entirely possible there are ways around it awaiting discovery because under the hood it's an LLM and those are poorly-understood by most people trying to build applications with them.

... who said anything about the body parts being human?

NH-D15 is default for me. Incredible performance, whisper-quiet. And if you need new brackets for an upgrade, the company will supply them free of charge!

Depends on whether the people who built the review system thought of that and built in effective countermeasures.

They probably didn't, so it might well work.

When you tear down next, look for missing board components or any that lean at an angle they're not supposed to. Canned air has been known to shear poorly-attached caps or whathaveyou clean off the board. Or maybe one of the wires in the 12v cable is broken and it's delivering power just to most pins... The paperclip test just tells you if the PSU is dead dead, are you able to test with a multimeter instead?

Buzzing while the power supply is off makes me wonder if there's literal bugs in it, if it's buzzing while it's unplugged. I suppose the buzzing could also be remaining power discharging, if it happens just after it's been unplugged.

We've all heard the punchline too many times before, it's played out.

Don't pull the lever, then there's three thirds of hot cousin to go around regardless of the other person's decision. Philosophy is easy.

Wicked. The musical it's based on is punk as fuck without having any punk music in it all!

I don't justify myself to anyone

You're his wife and this is extremely important to you. If my spouse took this attitude with me I'd be gone before the echoes finished ringing, let alone if they had also refused to punish a child rapist.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I can only begin to imagine the emotions you're going through finding out about it all 😞

This is an example of "managing up". It requires understanding people well, a particular weakness of mine.

EFTPOS is the fastest payment system in the world for identifying Australians on the internet. If you need to camouflage, you can use "card reader" instead. I don't know when you'd need to camouflage like that, but these are interesting times.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

This might work for me. Thanks for the idea!

Me too, but I got a sodamod for mine and refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop. Paintball places are cheap too, or some Dick's Sporting Goods can do it.

The stock ones can't be refilled unfortunately. You need a special adapter and some modified airsoft tanks: https://www.sodamod.com/

Our CO2 refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop now; worth it, IMO, but we drink a lot of carbonated water.
