If you already have that same exact torrent, and I don’t mean It’s the 1999 matrix but the exact distro bit for bit for bit file they have, You can start downloading that torrent from them, let it make the structure on your file system, stop your torrent client. Replace the contents of the file in that structure with your already completed stuff, start the torrent client and do a force recheck.

If the file you put there is 100% binary exact for what it’s expecting you will start seeding right off the bat

He probably spent millions of his owe money on AI stocks.

Those models already exist. It’s one of the things that everybody’s worried about trying to stop.

With the amount of companies out there willing to fund stopping it I’m surprised somebody hasn’t stepped up to spend a few million dollars to train one specifically to catch people and make it available.

Turns out making money off of it is more important I guess.

It’s messy. Dockers superpower: You can write a crazy ass python application that needs dozens of dependencies and weird software configured. You put it into a container, you can update and publish the container with a single script call. Other people can install that, set some variables and not have to install the dozens of other pieces of software. They also don’t have to worry about updates.

But that’s not to say you don’t have to worry about networks, storage and ports.

Then the simplicity of the configuration of containers depends upon the person that made the container. Maybe they wanted to be very flexible and there are dozens of things you need to set. Maybe they didn’t include the data store internally in that container and you need your own data store in another container.

Straight up CSAM would be pretty brazen. You could probably reduce the chances to zero by just saying that if there’s any thing like that uploaded it will go straight to the police. You probably wouldn’t need to invade anybody’s privacy. The warning itself would set the bar.

I’m kind of surprised there’s not an open source model out there capable of identifying it. Cloudflare has it as a free service if you use them, But I’m not seeing anything that you could just self host.

Started looking at Gemini-protocol over the weekend. (It’s like a newer version of gopher) Now I’m looking for a problem to fit the tool.

I started writing a science fiction, choose your own adventure, short story to fit the platform But that’ll take ages to finish.

I’m also eyeing a meshtastic client proxy. But you only get about 200 bytes per message so I’m not entirely sure it’s worth it.

The last thing, it would be kind of cool is a Zim tie-in. It would be cool to have a canned Wikipedia that could be accessed via Gemini protocol.

Intel 10th gen got some love on power vs perf and has a better igpu. I wouldn’t drop below 10th.

Which makes the lack of a Linux client so bizarre. It’s literally just file storage and a link manager.

This is an interesting rabbit hole

I tried hitting tilded up black and Gemini space but I’m not seeing watching the way of sites that answer.

Most of the stuff in search isn’t working either.

*edit for those trying this, use the search, go home, then click known hosts, there’s a LOAD of sites, 80% or so work.

Most run now, but it’s pretty clear it’s a matter of time till they won’t.

Google is pushing hard for integrity check. They’re about two steps away from stopping modified YouTube apps.

Time, metrics, I have 7 access points, if one starts getting high noise, I get a message and can move it. If I want to put my TV on it’s own vlan, I can see what switch it’s on and what port, change the vlan from my phone in a handful of clicks

Updates, backups. For their issues, they also have a lot of creature comforts.

I ran Cisco for years. I spent more time on Cisco in most week than I have post setup on unifi and uniform has more features.

I decommissioned mine, I had it and to access points. When I moved, I replaced it with a dream machine se pro. I really wanted DPI and IDS at my full internet speed. I strongly considered just throwing a bunch of their access points up and crafting a firewall out of a PC. Run ntopng on it. In the end the sweet siren song of a cohesive, single interface, completely managed network won out.

It’s kind of like a PDF of a web page. But it’s functional You don’t have to load the whole site at once and links take you from page to page just like it did in the original website. The content is stored in monolithic ZIM files and you can get a decent selection from archive.org. But it’s mostly reference material and the content is quite static.

I tried really hard to use IPFS. I set up a syncthing and did some auto-publishing scripts.

It’s slow AF, and unless you pay some big player to pin your files there’s only about a 1 in 10 chance of it actually being available everywhere. I had to actually peer my computers together to get sure fire access to my own data.

Then there’s very little in the way of privacy. I did some JavaScript crypto self-decrypting archives that was kind of fun But with the distribution problems it just became more of a hassle to use than anything.

Unimpeded root. You can still get it on maybe a handful of phones but apps are getting harder and harder to run with it enabled.

I miss them nostalgically I think. I have four different styles of small wireless keyboards and other than responding to a quick text they are mostly infuriating.

Everything is swipe or speech now for me.

you can at it’s current usage level, if new limits spark new usage, we’ll need a lot more exit nodes.

eggs are about $0.28 right now that’s 0.0000024 BTC which is ~ 239 sats + another 200 or so for transaction fees.

I really didn’t want to go bitcoin, but it’s likely the only reasonable competition we can put up against stuff the size of Visa.

I’ve never found it particularly difficult to find malware on open pirate sites.

Hell, if you walk into the Pirate Bay without a ad block on you could probably have a compromised EXE in two clicks.

I don’t think malware is any worse or better than it’s been for 30 years
