O gosh, I threw Gemini-cli on my /etc/cloud.cfg on a Raspberry OS install. It totally fried the file such as the only remaining contents in it was the “$content” phrase. Not very nice! Luckily, dpkg came to a rescue and allowed me to restore the file.
New update to Audio Invaders! I tweaked the Runner enemy to be easier to hear, not lightning fast when you first start encountering it, and it now has a progressive rumble as it gets closer to the ground. High scores now save properly again, and you can now Pause the game and toggle Verbosity options on the fly! marconius.com/fun/audioInvader…

but this is how it always was. If you drop your mail off into their possession (big blue drop box) but they don't pick it up until tomorrow and process it at the local post office, the postmark is tomorrow not today ...
Yes they will absolutely use this as a way to sceew with mail in ballots by disrupting processing of those too close to the deadline (understaff, shutdown USPS, etc) and now there will be little chance of successfully challenging it. At this point Trump could legally fire EVERYONE at USPS weeks before the election to screw everyone over too and he probably will.
@alecaddd And in doing so, created a very specific perspective that incorporated their context to decide what to leave in, what to leave out, what additional information to include that was not in the book, and so forth.
There is no canonical "right"or "best" summary. That AI "feature" is shallow, not deep.
The conversation about AI is exhausting, and I'm finding myself more and more talking with my friends about its dangers and downfalls. I definitely see a new level of awareness and skepticism coming from non-tech people, which is great.
One question that sometimes come up with people wanting to learn how to code is "Is it worth even doing it with all this AI self coding tools?"
Hell yeah! Absolutely! Technical literacy is even more important now than ever!
In a time when the sentence "junior developers will be replaced by AI" is heard multiple times a day, does it make sense learning how to code?Yes, now more t...

Editional tips and tricks for downloading the cops pack

Editional in regards to the cops tv show pack, please read for some useful tips and tricks. First things first. I recommend everybody who downloads this to use a vpn. Not that I would suspect any oh crap letters from isp's, but it's definitely better to be safe than sorry. also, if you check the reddit post, you'll note that you're asked to forward ports. However, I haven't done this, and when I tried, nothing worked, so downloading shouldn't be impacted by not forwarding ports. Also Note that as this has to be obtained via torrent, I recommend using q bittorrent for windows, mac etcetera. However, all tips should be able to be applied with any client, as they pretty much do the same thing. Anyhow, for those who take on the task of downloading and for those who use q bitorrent, if you're using a spinning harddrive which is what's recommended with an archive this large, when adding the magnet to your torrent client, make sure to check the box on the enicial torrent options screen after hitting download that's labeled, Download in sequencial Order, providing that this option exists for your prefered client. It might be labeled differently for eatch client. Leave everything else as it is. Also, in q bittorrent, under the connections section under options, set maxamum upload slots from 20 to 10. this keeps your drive from being pinned at 100percent, and the pack will download faster. Another tip for better performance decreasing disk loads. Feel free to check your upload speeds once the download gets going, I gave it about 10 minutes. But for instants, when downloading, if you notice that your upload speeds are maxing out at 1.0mbps, under the speed section within options, set your upload limit to anywhere between 200 and 500mbps. upload speeds do very from user to user, so feel free to set your speeds acordingly. I find that the client won't choke your download speedds at these numbers, and if anything you'll download faster. However, if you do notice any speed choking, set your limits back to infinity and let it do its thing. Note that with NVDA, the speed section doesn't read correctly. However, the first limit box is your upload limit setting after you hear it say grouping. And 1 last thing. Once I finish downloading the pack, I'll set my upload slots back to 20 and m,y upload speeds back to infinity, and will be seedding this for as long as I can. I definitely incurrage other downloaders to do the same, as this keeps the project alive and thriving and will hopefully keep the project from becoming unseeded. However, this isn't absolutely mandatory, just had to put that out their. Sharing is caring :). End of tips and tricks. Well, happy cops watching!

@Bri As in you're downloading it? It's already at 56percent for me and it's been downloading since saturday night, but if you have slower internet then it will take rather long to download. I have 500mbps networks myself

@Bri Aha. Yeah, if you're using an old version of microtorrent or something that doesn't have latest patches security fixes updates etcetera, it won't work. It refuses to connect, cops tv fan uses the latest security measures for this torrent. Strait up this makes that puney zip file upload on your server look like an ant. Lmao.

@Bri This is actually why I didn't continue uploading. He told me that he'd updated things on his end so drasticly that, if I finished uploading that I'd have to do it all over again due to the amount of missing content in the last cops pack

@Bri Haha yeah. an now we're looking at a wapping 3.54tb. I can't imagine even beginning to upload 1 season let alone 3.54 tb to a server. That's, a lot, of server space. And the time that it would take for me to do all of that would be incermountable

That very server is actually where I'm downloading it. I'm going to convert it all to audio. I'm 100% blind, so I don't need all that video taking up space that I don't have anyway.

@Bri As in to a harddrive plugged into a computer? I'd say roughly the same, maybe probably more time give or take. I'm downloading it to my 8tb western digital external drive plugged into my desktop and it's at 56percent and some change as of rite now. If you have a 500mbps connection I'd say about 5 days
@gnomon I'll need mp3 and was thinking of batching all tracks in an album, which kinda matches my laptop's number of cores.
I need to experiment a bit with the stereo first; it doesn't pick up the track number field, so if it just sorts an album's tracks in alphabetical order I'll need to tell ffmpeg or whatever to output track numbers as part of the track name.
(everything is in flac; I need mp3 smaller than the bitrate I used initially, or music won't fit in an USB stick)
Yeah, I know you know, but just don't use AI to do the school assignments. Otherwise it is like paying for an extremely expensive gym membership, then paying someone else to do the workouts for you on top of that. You just end up wasting time, money, and energy for nothing. lol
We are receiving reports that Google flags our repo as "having dangerous apps" or being a "dangerous site" – texts being very vague, no proof given (nor did they inform us). They also link to a page they call "Transparency Report" – which is of the same vagueness, but definitely not transparent (transparencyreport.google.com/…)
We're not aware of any such dangerous content. All apps on our repo are properly scanned, see izzyondroid.org/about/security…
Google did not inform us. Especially did they not inform us WHICH pages/apps at IzzyOnDroid they consider "dangerous", or WHY. Nor did they give us any means to respond to that threat. It is sad that they are obviously unable to do so. It seems to be asking too much, expecting at least a mail to "webmaster@"…
Should you have any deeper insights, please let us know.
@dalias unfortunately, we cannot afford such a law firm. Only a piece of what they could make of that, would allow us to run IzzyOnDroid full-time with a full team twice our size – and what a service we could offer then! Drop our $dayjobs and go full-in at IzzyOnDroid – a dream that would be!
@dalias I mean, imagine a big news portal claiming Google Play had been hacked, and "attackers currently on that site" would install dangerous apps, etc. pp. The fact alone to claim there are "attackers on the site"!
To me, this looks like scare mongering. I didn't expect they'd consider us such a dangerous competition, to need such actions…
@dalias Not sure it works that way here in Europe. But if there's a lawyer around who wants to pick this up that way, they're welcome.
We'd also welcome a fix and public apology from Google here, in a way making that lawyer "unneeded". Giving the missing details would be a start, I'd say. We're not exactly "bored" here, that we'd need a fight to have something to do…
Out of curiosity, I've asked VirusTotal for its opinion. All 97 engines report "green". Fun fact: that includes "Google Safebrowsing". If you want to check for yourselves, here's a fresh report generated less than 5 minutes ago:
You also need to check the izzyondroid APKs that are not compromised. If you look at the image where it says “relationship,” you will see that there are codes and numbers, and when you tap on those numbers, you will see the number of codes analyzed. Somewhere there should be files in red. The APK or page and repository are fine, but when you upload it to the internet, some APKs may be infected because there are people who copy them and infect them to steal data.
@iguana09863 thanks, but there is no "relations" tab. And all our APKs are run through VirusTotal as well. Would one have been tampered with on-site, it would be overwritten on the next sync again.
And APKs do not get infected by copying them. If those malicious people copy them for such purpose, they usually modify them, too. Which would not only break the signature, but also lead to a different file hash. It's all FOSS, they could compile such APKs themselves.
I'm not saying that your website or repository is infected, it was just an example and I did it with a file from a Nintendo game that I have saved. The IP address of some files may be infected or the DNS, and Google may have thought it was a virus and it may be a false positive. This has happened to me with tools and PDF files, so I wanted to mention it. Anyway, here's a link to this website, it's on internext and it's a virus scanner similar to virustotal👇 internxt.com/virus-scanner

I just tested this by going to apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ using the latest version of Chrome for mobile on Android and I don't see any warnings. It may have been a (potentially anti-competitive) false positive that Google has since corrected. But I don't currently see the issue showing in the screenshots here at all

edge browser had a blog post explaining they had better performance than chrome, mosyly measured in battery drain on laptop, but youtube kept changing small thing that was invisible to most user but broke hardware playback on edge browser and software video playback consumed twice as much battery. After a time, they gave up, switched to using chrome rendering engine instead of their own issue stopped.
We've registered our site with the Google Console now to get details on the pretended infection. The screenshot below are what they call "full details" – a joke. Nothing applicable (apologies for the German screenshot, but I couldn't see a way to switch the language).
So we requested a re-check. They wanted to know how we solved the problems. All we could tell them is that we checked all details they had provided…
@leeloo right. And you should be skeptical concerning the tool reporting to you: support.google.com/webmasters/… (TL;DR: Gmail marked those report mails "dangerous" as it contains a "suspicious link that was used to steal people's data" so you should not click them – ah, yes. That link goes to their own help center btw… 🤷♂️

Spoilers: The only legitimate complaint I have about Manamon 1 and 2 is that the main character sounds way older than they actually are. Why is a little boy or girl interfering with things they should not meddle with at such a young age? Entering a shadow kingdom, hopping into Requiem, stopping Eschonites at restaurants... you should be at least 18! Not to mention they don't even talk like their age. I'm not saying they have to sound immature, but cut back on the grammar. They're kids.
Andromeda. Nice to make your aquaintense! Um, I mean what? Yes she literally says that when she's about 12 and exploring her surroundings for the first time. Dang lol. I mean, the character was already older in m2 than in m1, so how about in m3, maybe if we get that in 5 years or what, if ever ever, he could be 18 indeed?

Any #FreeBSD sysadmins out there running #Bastille jails with multiple interfaces? Or any sort of jail with multiple interfaces?

Once a year I get a wedge of this whiskey and wheat encrusted aged cheese and eat it slowly myself over a week with some fancy wine.
What a treat!
The wine, les Rouvrettes, is from Savigny-Les-Beaumes domaine-girard.com/en/produit/… and is very sentimental as it was the first night on our first romantic holiday my now partner of 24 years and I had together.
Savigny les Beaune 1er Cru Our 1st Crus are all aged in oak barrels for about 15 months. Serve these wines between 15 and 17 ° C. In a limpid and brilliant cherry red, our first Savigny Crus generally have an intense nose marked by fruity notes.
