    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

  • It's hard to say anything about mental maturity based on age IMO.

    I have seen 16 yo who are smarter and more mature than some 20 yo. That's not to say that the 16 yo are mature adults, but rather that even 20+ yo can be immature and even 16 yo can be mature. But it's for sure less likely to be the case for a 16 yo.

  • These are important facts, but they are a symptom of a bad system, not of the concept itself.

    There are so many wrong things in our judicial system.

    But what I am saying is that under the right system I think it could work. But to be fair, people say that about communism so maybe I'm just naive.

  • Well, is it healthy? Nope. Is it a fact that some people don't have the healthiest relationships but still want to be together? Yup.

    I personally wouldn't stay with someone that said they want a divorce, but I still consider the barrier that it makes to be a healthy thing for a relationship as it makes both sides reflect more deeply before making a decision.

  • I personally see value in the complexity of divorce. Maybe not to the extent that some places have, but generally speaking I think that making some barriers for breaking up is good as it can give people tine and reasons to reconsider. It's especially important for people who tend more towards impulsivity.

    For example in a married couple saying "I want a divorce" is very far from actually divorcing. But in a non married couple, saying "I want to break up" can be as close as packing a bag, blocking a number and forgetting about it.

    But I respect your opinion, I don't think anyone should get married if they don't want to, just something to consider and that might be relevant to some people.

  • What would be the word for someone who is attracted to very young teens? Also, while it isn't as easy to define, emotional maturity is also a factor. Like I know that some 16 yo can look physically adult but are mentally still a child, and while it wouldn't be wrong for an adult to be physically attracted to them, it would be wrong to actually want to engage in anything sexual with them.

  • So many!

    Veganism and more specifically the belief that all life is more important than any non-life threatening situation.

    Death penalty is a terrible but needed solution for certain crimes. For example I don't think that it is fair for society to pay for a lifetime in prison for a mass murder. I think taking away basic human rights is something that should not happen lightly, but it is just at times.

    Age of consent is kind of weird and should be more about an age gap. What I mean is that if the age of consent is say 15, then if a 14 yo and a 18 yo have sex it is illegal, while a 15 yo and a 40 yo is not. Both cases are problematic, but an 18 yo can be still childish and not fully understand the situation, still wrong but I wouldn't necessarily call it pedophilia (Depending on the exact details) But a 40 yo having sex with a 15 yo? That is pedophilia.

    There should be a wealth limit. A point at which taxes just go to 100%. I think that a system can be made so that being rich and successful is still a thing, but that no one can reach "ridiculously rich" status.

    All current LLMs and diffusion models are piracy, no two ways about it. If you stand with AI generated content you should stand with piracy (looking at you, corporate assholes)

  • Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought

  • Yeah but I think this is still the same, just not a single language. It might think in some mix of languages (which you can actuaysee sometimes if you push certain LLMs to their limit and they start producing mixed language responses.)

    But it still has limitations because of the structure in language. This is actually a thing that humans have as well, the limiting of abstract thought through internal monologue thinking

  • That has always been the case. Even basic programs need debugging sometimes, so we developed debuggers.

  • in the context of the comment you referenced:

    Definitely have the server on its own VLAN. It shouldn't have any access to other devices that are not related to the services and I would also add some sort of security software.

    If you have a public service that you expect to have multiple users on you definitely should have some level of monitoring whether it is just the application logs from the forum that you want to host or further have some sort of EDR on the server.

    Things I would do if I was hosting a public forum:

    • Reverse proxy
    • fail2ban
    • dedicated server that does not have any personal data or other services that are sensitive
    • complete network isolation with VLAN
    • send application logs to ELK
    • clamAV

    And if the user base grows I would also add:

    • EDR such as velociraptor
    • an external firewall / ips
    • possibly move from docker to VM for further isolation (not likely)

  • Just tailscale really.

    My services are only exposed to the tailscale network, so I don't have to worry about otger devices on my LAN.

    A good VPN with MFA is all you really need if you are the only user.

  • If for example the server is actually a computer in the LAN and maybe it's also his media server and his backup server then potentially any compromise could lead to his personal information leaked and or other computers in the LAN compromised.

    So what could actually happen? His personal photos and passwords and accounts can be leaked or taken over. He could be spied on by accessing his webcam. A lot of things could go wrong.

    You are right. Learning by doing is awesome. Just be sure to do it in a safe way. Get a VPC. Do it there. No personal information, no access to other services. Just this service, just for this purpose. Worst case scenario, if it's taken over, the only thing that's harmed is the forum itself. Which is not the end of the world, I'm guessing.
