Well they wouldn't be middle fingers anymore but we understand the sentiment
I'm a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you're already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you're doing with the model because it isn't trust worthy.
If you're using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.
If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.
It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it's worthless if you can't verify the accuracy. And I'm worried people don't care about the accuracy.
I wouldn't hate that. I've been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.
It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension
Personally I'm a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of "god" and I think it applies more widely.
In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.
This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's made me believe in god as an idea.
There are plenty of studies on "manifesting" goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.
The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn't excuse a lot of their bullshit).
A plug-in for what?
And why isn't a normal video generation app/site fine?
I also just swapped my monitor out after nearly 12 years with it.
I think ANYTHING you would have bought new would have looked awesome. Panel tech has advanced.
I wanted an apartment with a balcony but they're all $500+ more a month in rent then I'm already paying.
I had 5 rounds of interviews for a Tier 1 IT job.
Fair, but if I'm technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren't working anyways, I might as well try it.
Seems like an Internet clout chaser.
I stopped following the influencer lefty scene shortly after becoming a lefty.
They all suck. Organize locally. Ignore the terminally online.
"I don't know this person so I can't vouch for their credibility"
"Here's why you shouldn't trust that guy."
"Wow I can't believe you're happy that untrustworthy guy got doxxed. Here's a block :)"
I hate the internet sometimes my friend.
Didn't work.
Gonna go to bed and kinda just hope this starts working and then try again after work when reality sets in.
I assume a Caddy set up would get me a URL? I might look into that.
unless you're a neo Nazi
I hate being torn between my hatred of tech monopolies and love of seeing Nazis get their shit rocked.
I'll try swapping it to http unless you think I should run nginx or something to certify it. I don't know if that will help.
The actual config uses
Not sure why I decided to "censor" it like that.
I'll try swapping it to http:// and removing f2b for now.
I believe this is incorrect. I can't find the forum post from Cloudflare but you cannot use the CDN to deliver video without paying for it, but you can use CF as a reverse proxy via Cloudflared to deliver video so long as you aren't on the CDN
They even have blog posts on using Cloudflared for hobby video streaming projects like a RPi pet cam. Unless it's assumed I have an enterprise account.
Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.
I never feel like I appreciate these enough. This is the work of someone who thought this scene and others like it were so beautiful he had to hone his skill as an artist to painstakingly recreate this view to share with others. Something that we do as an after thought with our phones now.
Thank for sharing this with us, Thomas. I think it's beautiful too.
So I'm trying to get Jellyfin accessible on the open web through a cloudflared tunnel
I have a default install of Jellyfin running that is still accessible locally.
I'm able to ping TV.myblogdomain.com
And the Cloudflared dashboard says the connection is up.
I have implemented page rules and caching rules to turn CDN off.
I have set the DNS server on the Jellyfin VM to be the Cloudflared DNS server.
It's pointed to https://jellyfin:8096/
And it wasn't working with or without a CIDR in the tunnel configuration.
Should I try uninstalling fail2ban and see if that helps? I thought I configured it right pointing it to the 8096 port but maybe I need to do 80/443?
Any tips or guides would be appreciated.
I download the YouTube tutorials I followed, upload them to my UAT Jellyfin server, and then when my server is having issues I can't get to the videos!
A flawless system really
I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.
I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).
Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?
I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?


I've been wearing Xero shoes as my preferred every day shoe and my hiking shoe of choice for a while. I got a few pairs on a steep sale and now my last pair is starting to die.
I don't mind getting more, but I'd like to see what else is out there. I used to wear Altra and I've gotten Hobbart shoes, but those were weird shaped and rubbed on my pinky toes.
Any suggestions for foot shaped shoes? I'd prefer some cushion like Altras and bonus if there's a business casual looking variety
I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.
I want to set up a SIEM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.
I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).
I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SIEM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.
What do you suggest?


Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other "apolitical" gun club.
I've been in the SRA for 4 years, it's not great, but I met comrades local to me. I've learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.
Open for questions and I'll post more getting started stuff if this doesn't get banned.

Just a guy shilling for gun ownership, tech privacy, and trans rights.
