  • Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects

    Jump

  • It's incredibly vague still, that's the problem.

    Like, I see, if I wanted to roll my own shitcoin, I can't publish the source code of it on Codeberg.

    But, say, a Blockchain lookup app - technically it's a cryptocurrency related project, but at the end of the day it's just an app that connects to a public API and lists data from it. Is it also banned?

    Or, I make an open source smart clock, from an LED matrix and an ESP32. This smart clock can link to YouTube/Twitch/etc. for viewer count, to GitHub for project stars/forks, to currency exchanges, and one includes a crypto exchange rate tracker for displaying current mainstream coin valuations (say, the top 5 most used coins). Is this project, since it's crypto related, banned?

    Or let's say I come up with something blockchain adjacent, that could be utilised for cryptocurrency use... and what if I just publish a new cryptographic approach that then gets used by a new cryptocoin that suddenly becomes famous?

    Or if my project uses a cryptographic system that comes from a dependency that was broken out of a cryptocurrency project?

    Where do we draw the line of "related"? What level of relationship is allowed with the world of cryptocurrency? What degree of separation is deemed appropriate?

  • This has to be brain-dead behaviour...

    First you create a situation that reduces employment of even the skilled.

    Then in the same breath you complain about people not working, fully aware that you're the reason they're not working, not the fact that they're lazy, but you still try to tell them that they're lazy?

    I fucking hate this reality we're in, but the worst part is that chuds will suck up this explanation, EVEN WHEN THEY'RE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY IT, and keep voting against their own interest.

  • Self Hosting- Security recommendations

    Jump

  • The recommendations so far are quite solid.

    I'd also add that crowdsec with the right collections as a primary filter within your reverse proxy setup can be extremely useful, potentially even better than fail2ban, as CS delivers a literal "scan every packet and put them against these rules" approach - where the rules are crowd sourced, thus are more up to date than any manual blocklists, filter list etc. can be, and can spot even 0day intrusion approaches.

  • It depends on the app. You can use Authentik as an OIDC provider and allow apps that offer OIDC to log in through that - and that usually works for TV sticks and such.

  • What's Your Ebook Automation Pipeline

    Jump

  • Uhm, no.

    Only if the licence allows. I personally go for A/GPLv3 wherever I can because I don't want corporations to just take and not contribute back. But that means I can't just copy MIT/Apache software, need to do my own implementation from scratch. Which I prefer anyway.

  • AI-altered images on birdwatching forums putting research at risk

    Jump

  • I'd argue that AI does change things:

    • on one hand it increases the percentage of invalid/unusable images. A mis-labeled image is still potentially useful, an image of a toucan in the Arctic isn't. This means that even large datasets become largely unusable because of the volume of fake images.
    • on the other hand any AI picture that slips through, taints the dataset and results in expensive manual cleanup to ensure data is reliable.

  • I'm actually working on an all in one solution that sort of fills the roles of Readarr AND Calibre - without all the baggage of the latter.

    Oh, and of course a KOReader library plugin that foregoes OPDS and works like the Kindle interface ("available books" synced from this backend, one tap downloads them, plus potentially adding series handling too in the future).

    But right now it's mostly manual downloads + CWA ingest + OPDS via KOReader.

  • As much as I hate throwing away innocent lives, the entire instability of the middle East would be solved by bombing Israel back into the stone age.

    I'd usually say that it's not a whole country, it's just their government, but in this case I don't see any chance of getting a different government because most Israelis seem to agree with these actions.

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

    Jump

  • Those guns STILL REQUIRE KEY COMPONENTS THAT CANT BE 3D PRINTED. Just how many times and how many ways do I have to explain this until it gets through?

    You can 3D print a shadow gun, sure, even on a $100 cheapo FDM printer. Thing is, it won't fucking work because there's neither barrel nor firing pin. Two of the, oh, most crucial elements to make a gun into an actual gun. Up until you add these two bits, that gun will do more damage if you chuck it at your target than if you fired it.

    TECHNICALLY, you could get away with a firing pin setup made from some wiring and an actual nail, but it would be highly unreliable - misfire, not fire at all, and so on. And even if it did fire, without a barrel, you'd have a 30-40% chance of not hitting your target... at which point you're more likely to kill your target by aiming some higher power pyrotechnics at them. Which are easier and cheaper to acquire.

    Jump

  • My point is that a 3D printer isn't necessary for making a gun, and that you can't even make the parts that make something into a gun, using a (regular, commercial FDM) 3D printer.

    it's like trying to regulate printers because you can "3D print a car", when in reality you can 3D print a few accessories and components but the entire engine has to be manufactured differently...

  • They are.

    A barebones manual lathe is still grades cheaper, this provide a lower level of entry. Spend $200 and in no time you can be doing 20-30 barrels a day.

    But please tell me how a 3D printer, which is at most useful for the casing (which you could hand craft from wood with a knife...).
