and besides that, setup is something you do only once, the real struggle comes next, I have never self-hosted matrix but see people complaining or even de-federating due to server burden, while I do host a #chatmail server with +8k users in a 5eur VPS using 1.2gb of ram and 19gb of disk, now try the same with #matrix
He provat tres programaris de #MissatgeriaInstantània, tant com administrador com usuari. El meu resum.

That article doesn't seem to say much of anything about getting the server up and running. Self hosting using Conduit is as easy as running an executable as a service, then configuring a reverse proxy to point to it. Very easily done with a systemd service, very easily done with a Docker container. The only documented method to self host a Chatmail relay is to run a magical deploy script that has SSH access to the root account. Root access for a script is unacceptable unless it's the only thing running on that machine, and I don't want to dedicate a machine to Chatmail only.
@kbruen @adbenitez it's fine -- we are not claiming that the current setup is fit for everyone's usage. especially more professional admins or self-hosters might struggle a bit if they want to adopt. The setup of a relay on some remote host indeed currently assumes it controls the whole machine/vm. Locally there is no root-needed to run "cmdeploy run"
@chris yes, there is initial support for that rolling out currently, see support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi… and be sure to first update all devices -- the 2.33 releases are rolling to most stores but #fdroid will probably still be a bit later.
Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.
@chris with version 2.33, you can go to the settings > Advanced > Relays, and scan the QR code of on of the relays on chatmail.at/relays to create a new address :) as soon as you write to a group, the members will message you at your new address.

This is good to see - AI still produces a lot of crap and loves to randomly change code - but when *focused* on finding issues with a human who understands the code I've found the hit rate is close to 100% correct so far.
@tanepiper@shadowwwind@bagder I suppose using AI to find vulnerabilities is not unlike using a fuzzer to find vulnerabilities. Sure, it can find many positives, but it's up to the human to determine if it's a true or false one.
My concern here that LLMs do give worse-than results than something like Sonar - in many cases *static* code analysis was good enough to catch things that LLMs miss.
Ideally we would still use different tools, but GitHub seems to want to push everything into models.
Turned on the new #GitHub "Code Quality" feature that seems to be some extended CodeQL + AI.
It's actually worse than anything #SonarQube gave us. That actually gave really good reports on code smells, regressions and coverage failure. It was reliable.
It really does appear tech companies are replacing everything with expensive, resource intensive systems that give worse results and expect us to pay more @pluralistic #enshitificaton
based on what? The AI-powered code analyzers we engage with now seem to outperform the ones without AI... This is anecdotal observations in our project only.
Considering how many garbage AI pull requests you must get, I imagine it's still unclear if the technology is a net positive.
I think it's also important to note that the PRs were reviewed by someone skilled so, while the LLM may have helped, the vulnerabilities were still vetted by a human who understood what was wrong.

Immer wenn ich lese "Kein Mitleid mit..." und es dabei um Menschen geht, die auf Propaganda reingefallen sind, dann läuft es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter. Eben beim Thema Gasheizung. Doch, Mitleid mit denen, die von der Propaganda so verängstigt wurden, dass sie eine falsche Entscheidung getroffen haben, die ihnen bald finanziell das Genick bricht. Abgesehen davon, dass viel Geld und Macht hinter dieser Propaganda steckt: Wo kommen wir hin, wenn wir uns erheben, statt Mitgefühl zu zeigen?
BBC: Trump veers off-script and does little to calm Republican nerves
"We had a meeting and I said, 'Why is it we only take people from shithole countries', right?" he said. "Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden?"
"But we always take people from Somalia," he continued. "Places that are a disaster – filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime."
So from this month on I'll also have to pay for Gemini Advanced, or rather, Google One, which at least also includes 2 TB Drive storage. Though Google Drive is meh. The thing is, I still don't really know wether I actually should. I also use Chat GPT Plus, more often than Gemini. But I prefer both for different usecases. But paying 40€ per month for AI, which I don't actually, you know, love that much. Eh meh. Not sure.
@techsinger GPT for random daily questions, explain this describe this what does this mean blah blah, and messing with the voice mode of course. I know blame me but I feel sometimes talking to that thing can actually bring up some interesting thougvhts/viewpoints, not that I'd rely on it or do it often though. Oh and also it can edit documements like word or powerpoint, I like that it can actually give me back a proper word document to download while gemini can only you know, write the text but I have to copy/paste/format myself. While Gemini is rather for research, and well, on my Android I often use it for even quicker stuff like just pasting things I just found or asking it something about a PDF I've just got or stuff. The voice mode is also not that bad, I feel like it can better help regarding accessibility stuff like guiding you through a screen etc. But that might just be me/my settings/promts etc.
@techsinger Honestly LLMs in that sense, like chatbots, are the most useful imo. Allow them to process images to be helpful regarding describing and fine. Voice cloning is fucking interesting but also fucking scary and I don't personally need it. Same for all that music generation shit and image and video generation shit. Was funny for 1 2 years, no it can just vanish imo. I don't see anyone having any serious advantages from it. But at this point when you pay for either, so Chat GPT or Gemini, you also get their stupid image generation tool, and Nano Banana image/video /fake shit. Like na. Just give me Chat GPT 2023 with better understanding etc and I'm good.
I don't think they can give you that, unfortunately. I think they're hitting limits. I may be wrong, of course, but as it stands... They wouldn't be including any of this stuff if anyone would buy it on his own.
@johann Yup, I got Gemini 1 year free with my Pixel 9 Pro, that year jis now over. Claude is also quite good, but I'm not really sure, feels ´like each month the one company is topping the other with putting out a new model.
@felixule Yeah, I think I'm going to cancel Chat GPT as well. Been using Claude for the entire day yesterday and I'm not really enjoying Chat GPTs output as much as Claudes, and I'm on the Claude free plan for now. Chat GPT voice mode is fun but that's not worth the price, and Gemini has the same voice mode capabilities for free at this point.

Wow! That was an hour of sheer panic and adrenaline! While in the process of attempting to locate, unplug at both ends, disentangle, and finally extract a power cord from my insane spaghetti of cables, I knocked out power to the same portion of my equipment that I did last time, doing the same thing, LOL. Clearly, this is a rather weak point in my physical infrastructure. But I knew that already. But have I done anything about it yet? Clearly not. LOL. Whose to blame about that? Okay, I should do something about it. Maybe. Sometimes, or perhaps more than sometimes, we so often don't learn, and we willingly and continually do things or don't do things even though we know they are wrong. Then bvad things happen, and then we ignore it some more, and it nags at us, and we ignore it some more. Wellp, this time, things did not power up as expected. The major component that got knocked out was the entire network plant. Upon reboot, the SFP+ fiber modules did not return to service as usual. The active module was layer 3 unreachable, even though the port showed as up. The secondary (backup) module was online, but of course, it did not have any fiber connected to it. I switched the fiber over, but the connection did not come back up. Then, some how, both modules became unresponsive, and this time, both ports went down too. Oh boy, this was not good. I rebooted the switch, and only the backup fiber module came layer3 online, but the Internet did not. Fortunately, the 5G connection that I canceled, and then they gave me two free months of was still up and running, and automatically powering the network, as per routing policy. So I pulled the latest firmware for the fiber module, and ran the upgrade process. This went off without a hitch. However, though the upgrader said it was rebooting, layer3 never became responsible, and The fiber link did not come back up. I rebooted the switch once again, and this time, both SFP+ ports became active, and both fiber modules were pingable on the management VLAN once again! Wahoo! Then, what's more, the Internet came up on the backup module. I did a quick swap of the fiber, and the connection is now back up on the primary fiber module, with the backup once again functional and on hot standby, for situations, I guess, just like this. Wow! Seems that the switch had a hayday with its SFP+ section. 10G-base-T worked perfectly the whole time. Very odd indeed. I really thought there for about an hour that I had initially fried one, and then both fiber modules, a $300 value. Wellp, turns out I got lucky, and nothing is fried. Just wow!
Hey, I have someone in my life who uses an iPhone and would benefit from a little bit of internet privacy help. Is there anything I can recommend them?
"Stop using iPhone/iOS" is not an option for them. Thanks in advance!
ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-get-… is pretty good. It's more "make your iOS device a bit more private" rather than generic "internet privacy", but there's good advice in there.
I made a video ranting about the algorithmic internet and ads, then started yelling about using Firefox and how forks are killing FOSS projects. I think I'm losing my mind and this won't be popular at all 🫠
If using forks killed Firefox as "relevant" architecture – using Edge/Opera would kill Chrome's "relevance". I can't see how that is the case. Using a gecko based fork won't show up as blink, but maybe I got you wrong.
I think, leaving Firefox sends a strong and clear message. Especially when forks get more attention. Same as growing numbers would. (btw Thunderbird has no notable forks – maybe there is something to learn from you 😉)
Staying with Firefox enables it to ignore criticism, keep default Google search (and bragging about privacy), add AI features, … in the end I value the freedom to vote with my feet, even in Firefox's case.
I'm on your side on most topics you cover – but come on, be a bit nicer to forks. 😍
Jujutsu is starting to grow on me in ways I can't fully articulate yet.
Essentially my workflow now is: create an empty commit describing some change. Do all my immediate work in a second empty commit on top of that. If the work fits within the larger change I described in the previous commit, squash the changes, then I'm back to an empty commit again and the change just accumulates below. If I realize "Oh crap, this thing I just did has nothing to do with the larger change but it's still good to have," no problem. Just describe it, commit, then I can easily rebase the previous squash on top of the change I just made. So then I have main -> unrelated nice-to-have change -> squashed commit with larger change -> empty commit for new work. It sounds confusing, and it still kind of is, but it feels like peeling back a level of burocracy I didn't quite realize existed until it was gone. I can even jj prev a couple times, rewind the worktree past the squash commit, and keep working on the new problem there if I want. Sure it's all possible in git, but how much magic do you need to know to actually want to use that on a daily basis? Willingly?
Speaking of Git, when it's time to not break Git users' brains (and my own brain still, if I'm being completely honest) I update my bookmarks (named commits, as far as I can tell) and push them to Git as branches. Then I just keep on working however I like or need to, and filter it out to upstream as needed. The fact that my working directory is tracked automatically unless I explicitly gitignore a thing worried me at first, but the key is making that squash commit what I want to filter out upstream. So all those design notes, sketches, test scripts and such that were useful to have and automatically version but probably aren't great to upstream? Just rm them in the squash commit and they're taken care of. I still technically have them on that branch if I need them again later.
No LFS support, no submodules, and no meaningful hooks are kind of rough, though. Hooks I can deal without except for at the Git boundary, but those other two...
The shame of this G7 meeting is that the Canadian ministers give zero f*cks about Canadian sovereignty, as it applies to Canadians and their online information, financial data, etc. EVERYTHING, in one way or another, ends up going through AWS, or some other offshore BS. ctvnews.ca/politics/article/mo… #cdnpoli #cdntech #FAIL #clowncomputing
