how fast do my disks really need to be? I'll cheap out on it *several VMs later* WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S A DISK IO BOTTLENECK? WHY IS IT TAKING 1 HOUR TO INSTALL DEBIAN???

@cR0w@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange ooh this was that company with the analyst who was buddies with the threat actors, yes?

@brennen@federation.p1k3.com @rose_alibi@post.lurk.org I used to work at a hosting provider and "ChatGPT told me to run [command that hoses the server]" was unfortunately quite common.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social turns out that canning your generals for being "woke" (read: women and/or LGBT) isn't an ideal strategy.

UPDATE: The GrapheneOS Community Manager reached out, and after discussion, I think this stemmed from a series of misunderstandings, rather than malice. More to follow shortly. ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶u̶n̶f̶o̶r̶t̶u̶n̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶G̶r̶a̶p̶h̶e̶n̶e̶O̶S̶ ̶g̶u̶y̶,̶ ̶D̶a̶n̶i̶e̶l̶ ̶M̶i̶c̶a̶y̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶f̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶r̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶ https://jcoscia.com/post/2026/05/30/an-incident-involving-daniel-micay/ #grapheneos #trans

@bridget@beige.party sex work is exploitative, LLMs are also exploitative

@pri@cyberplace.social @tillybridges@mastodon.social "stealing from trans authors is okay, because other people are doing far worse" Surely you see the issue with that?

@tillybridges@mastodon.social I really love having you here, but I get it.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au sort of! I went with mox, which is smtp/imap/webmail in one binary my only concerns are that the imap seems a little slow (maybe a maintenance issue on my end?) and there haven't been any commits in a few months https://www.xmox.nl/

@BrideOfLinux@mastodon.opencloud.lu Disappointing. Cerf's Up?

@rebane2001 older galaxy phones my beloved 🥺

@Viss @catsalad @Sempf @jerry @stux ask it for instructions on something illegal! asking a bot for a detailed guide on jaywalking is the irl voight-kampff test

@BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org one of these lil pogoplugs! I replaced the OS with Debian, and used it as a smol web server. I eventually just made it a DNS resolver. (i have since lost it 😭) I was on a shoestring budget as a kid, so getting a computer for like $10 was super cool for me

@ana@starlite.rodeo its no coincidence that every time a techbro is struck by AI psychosis, they view the AI as a woman and have some sort of romance with it amazing that super intelligent AIs always take the form of women im attracted to, and not a genderless construct or literally anything else

@kgMadee2@mathstodon.xyz @sleepybisexual@mk.absturztau.be @bridget@beige.party …you need a citation to believe that "have sex with me or you can't pay your bills" is coercive and evil?

@nocci @Tutanota I agree, very tasteless.

@purrperl@noc.social Except when you're bothering someone in my community, in which case I reserve the right to tell you off. I see you're *still* going on about this, even reaching out to other trans women to get their opinion on the matter. Please just drop the stick.

@purrperl@noc.social You are wrong, and the best thing you can do at this point is delete your post.

"Thank you sir, or maam, or whoever you are" — some guy, a few years ago Honestly the funniest thing I've been called. It sounded so genuine too, he was legit unsure.

fedi, is there a good way to collect and view netflow or similar data that's practical to host yourself? preferably something with pretty charts and graphs #askfedi #networking #homelab

do companies just not hire sysadmins anymore? job searching is exhausting and i am exhausted.

Does anyone else get anxiety around Internet outages at home? I grew up fairly poor, and if connections were timing out, I knew our bill was overdue and my main connection to the world had just been severed. …I still get a sinking feeling if my modem has a scary blinking light on it.

Remember when OpenAI's big thing was that they built a bot to play #Dota? "You're absolutely right, Pudge *is* missing. He's not just off the map, he's ganking you. And that's powerful. …Would you like some tips and tricks on placing wards?"

@pri@cyberplace.social Have you considered ways to distribute books that don't take money out of the author's pockets? How about buying books and sending them to libraries? Working out agreements with services like Libby/OverDrive, (for the general public) or The Wikipedia Library (for academics/researchers)? I'm not saying you personally have the capacity to do these things, but like, you could connect with LGBT orgs who do.

@pri@cyberplace.social Have you looked into Helem, by any chance? https://www.helem.net/

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone first try...

@transworld@masto.ai Truth be told, I don't think most of us live long enough to be concerned with it. I sure ain't.

@grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe @BrideOfLinux@mastodon.opencloud.lu I suppose it's too early for me to speculate on whatever spec he's cooking up. I don't expect AI companies to do anything that'll enable me to block or otherwise restrict them though, because why would they do that?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social They do have innate traits that help them. Unfortunately, the trait is sociopathy.

@sleepybisexual@mk.absturztau.be @bridget@beige.party this is the equivalent of notallmen but for sexual abuse and exploitation ackshually all labor bad, ignore the fact that one is significantly worse
