What extensions do you recommend? Aside from tray icons

I think of it like age verification. Slipperly slope to a proprietary kernel-level “security compliance module” on all devices, aka the end of general computation.

How does it lead to dependency hell? I thought the point was that it didn’t share dependencies with the host, so different apps could have different versions of the same package and everything would still work.

Well great news, the world has mostly settled on Flatpak now.

I already considered that, and for an untrusted website I already don’t trust the content or the scripts. So it doesn’t matter if it was modified or not, it’s still untrusted.

Facts can be verified with sources you do trust (which should be using HTTPS). Logic can be used to verify others.

IMO when reading random articles on the internet you already have to worry about untrusted scripts. I just use NoScript, and if the website requires Javascript I move on

I posted it to c/piracy on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Not sure if linking the post will break rule 6 here

I want to see it with Quake

The government could force Huggingface to implement KYC. This would probably push people to start uploading torrents of models, but the problem is that there are dozens of quants for each model. Depending on what GPU you have, how much VRAM and RAM you have, the perfect quant for your machine might not be available on these third party download sites. So might as well grab them now while you can.

If you’re just pushing for WebPKI without “thinking too hard” about perpretrating a security system with a large number of failure points, then you’re following that windows method.

SSL/TLS have very specific benefits. None of which matter that much for reading random articles on the web. So I don’t see the problem with this website doing their own thing to bring attention to the potential issues of the current system.

It works fine, just ignore the warning and don’t enter any sensitive info

I bet another reason is security. You might not trust the NUT software. It might be proprietary, and even if its open source, it might not be scrutinized enough to be safe.

Using separate hardware, lets you take in the power loss signal from the NUT and then convert it to a channel you might trust more, like an http request over wireguard. Alternatively you could use a VM with usb passthrough on the main PC…though usb passthrough still has risks.

How do you donate heat? Ventilation pipes?

Anybody have that screenshot of the post saying “summer sucks it just has good marketing”?

This is a cool idea, and I love the hacker energy behind it, but I agree with some of the other comments that the receiver would have to trust you quite a bit to allow hardware into their house. Even with the SSH view-only accounr, you could be putting the SSH server in a VM so that the client thinks they’re seeing the whole OS but they aren’t.

Alternative idea would be to provide an open source ansible script or docker compose file to spin up everything you need, and let them verify and deploy it themselves. Then they give you the wireguard configs to remote in.

I assume you can with LineageOS and GrapheneOS

Nope, I never watched him back when I had a youtube account.

Something I should point out just in case is that 50% success rate is the same as random chance. So when the study says:

AIs were classified as AI 56% of the time.

That really means that humans could not tell the difference between AI and human, since their success rate was almost the same as random chance.

6 language specific tasks. They were programmed and set up specifically to perform whatever specific one task they had to do at the time, that is what computers do.

Sure, and that task was “imitate humans”, and these computers seem remarkably good at it. That’s what I’m saying. I don’t care that these AI work differently than humans. They can imitate humans so well that humans can’t tell the difference.

I believe you can use the command-line tool “adb” for this. It’s been a while since I’ve done it since I use syncthing now, but here’s a quick intro:

1. on phone, enable developer options
2. on computer, install android tools, which should come with adb (Do not install full android developer toolkit, it’s huge. You only need adb)
3. on computer run ‘adb devices’, which should currently print that no devices were found
4. plug phone into computer, and accept authorization prompt on phone
5. on computer run ‘adb devices’ again and it should list your phone with the status “authorized”

Now you should be able to use adb pull -p -a <folder name> to back up folders to your computer, for example adb pull -p -a /sdcard/DCIM.

Note that you will have trouble backing up the /sdcard/Android folder, which contains a lot of app data. Unfortunately I think you need root to back up that folder. Alternatively you can back up individual apps using adb backup ....

Personally I think in the long term, automatic backups like syncthing is better. Manual backups are a hassle and because of that, you won’t do them as often.

I admire the drive. And I am not here to discourage you. The privacy world could always use more driven people. There are tons of projects that can use more supporr, like I2P, Tor, Monero, Internet Archive, Whonix, Qubes, etc. Keep at it and I’m sure we can win.
