… and then out$ourced!

It would be interesting to see an FPS game with a “default cheat mode” that exposes all info about other players that it has by default. And then the devs work to minimize that… server-side occlusion, misdirection, reduced damage / bad aim when no direct line of sight, etc. Players can then learn to minimise their footprint despite the necessary leakage and how to take advantage of the info they get.

Great, finally they can include all the factual non-woke reporting about Donald Trump, Elon Musk and often underage hookers provided by the russian mafia and FSB, which mostly happened at Trump Tower as Trump’s business empire was being rescued by russian money. Perhaps it can provide photos from the non-woke archives. It could even be turned into a series of children’s stories to give them inspiration for their future careers of servitude and exploitation, which would be totally non-woke.

wg-quick takes a different approach, using an ip rule to send all traffic (except its own) to a different routing table with only the wireguard interface. I topped it up with iptables rules to block everything except DNS and the wireguard udp port on the main interface. I also disabled ipv6 on the main interface, to avoid any non-RFC1918 addresses appearing in the (in my case) container at all.

edit: you can also do ip rule matching based on uid, such that you could force all non-root users to use your custom route table.

What is the typing experience that you want, and for which language(s). It’s not clear to me, sorry.

It is possible to map keyboard input in various ways. For more complex use-cases, many programs support character substitution as you type (eg. gx could become ĝ automatically).

25 or so years ago, I learnt Esperanto (my first second language) by chatting on the Internet. I’d have two windows open - one with the IRC client, and the other with a terminal and a shell script that would grep a txt file with consistent formatting. “esp esperantoVerbPrefix/” or “esp noun,” or “esp affix-” would typically return the correct result in a split second. Thanks to the simple grammar (that I had quickly memorized), I could hold conversations in near real time as a result.

I wish I could have learnt my other languages as easily.

Anki ?

Hah. I hadn’t seen that article / heard of the theory, but as far as crackpot theories/hypotheses go, it’s one of the more likely (edit: to come about). I doubt it’s anywhere near the majority yet, personally.

It was already obvious that propaganda news articles (on obscure websites) had orchestrated releases and promotion on social media, in a massive circle jerk, and I assumed machine generated/assisted content was involved. Then ChatGPT hit the headlines and we all had the power.

Whose deepfake influencers do you “trust” more? US, China, russia and a few lesser players are already working to control the information space / spread propaganda (note: not necessarily lies, but there is typically a focus or spin) far and wide.

We know people are highly influenced by propaganda (some more than others, but all of us are) and that quantity and repetition plays a role. Since this is now an established battlefield, I’d like our (western) defences to be strong.

It has potential for abuse, certainly. That’s par for the course though. There is also the potential for it to be used to debunk fake news, shock people out of false beliefs, and help reconnect people to reality. Let’s see how this plays out. popcorn time

How will running a CA limit access? eg. Do you want to do client side cert validation? That sounds like an overcomplication. Also not ideal to run a CA (have signing keys) on the proxy server.

The big Q: Is this to the detriment or benefit of the russian war machine?

If the end result is a more self-sufficient russia and profits going to the war effort … would it have been the right move? Is the symbolism worth it?

It sounds like it was a very orderly process to ensure the ongoing viability of the business.

I’d rather see russian factories dismantled, thousands of jobs lost in russia, and significant supply chain issues. I guess that option never factored into the discussion as it would cost investors more.

Put Space-X into a form of receivership first though. National interests must be protected.

I don’t know about these days, but I remember making a custom layout for Windows back in 2005 that was US Qwerty keyboard plus AltGR+auose for äüö߀ (German umlauts and euro symbol).

I forget how I did it, as I haven’t used Windows for serious work in years.

Some of us still remember Wise Guys and want that range! ;-)

Or show it in a minimal/headline only form.

Ideally, the app (and lemmy as a whole) would support an optional subscribe-to-spamlist feature, with crowdsourced spam/scam reporting, with some recourse for fake-spam-reports. Individual posts & usernames. Group and server admins can’t be as active as the crowd at large.

A supply chain attack of some kind. Perhaps the app was distributed via a private store app where the french authorities had some leverage. I wonder if we’ll find out.

What filesystem are you using?

Never, nunca and niemals!

My Samsung S90C OLED is pretty good. I spent a lot of time researching TVs and user reviews before I bought it though, and an LG OLED also made the shortlist.

It is possible to wrap something like python into a single file, which is extracted (using standard shell tools) into a tmpdir at runtime.

You might also consider languages that can compile to static binaries - something like nim (python like syntax), although you could also make use of nimscript. Imagine nimscript as your own extensible interpreter.

Similarly, golang has some extensible scripting languages like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi - go has the advantage of easy cross compiling if you need to support different machine architectures.
