    Do people in America actually believe Vaccine cause autism or is bad for health? Or Is it a joke?

    Jump

  • It's a difficult problem to sum up because there are so many reasons this is happening, and I don't think it's all malicious.

    At the core there is a general disrespect for any authority in American culture and it's easy to believe stories that a government-mandated medical intervention is somehow not as safe as they say.

    It doesn't help that there have been government programs in the past that were harmful and the knowledge was only made public after it was too late. Very few people believe the government has the people's best interest in mind.

    Individuals are only capable of understanding a very limited amount at one time, and rely on their tribe to inform them of almost everything else. These days there's a tsunami of information that is impossible to process completely. So it's just human nature to trust a small selection of sources and does usually offer a survival advantage.

    So it's not hard to see how smart people can fall for misinformation especially when they are inclined to doubt authority.

  • Switched from Onenote to obsidian. There was a small learning curve and I had to install some plugins, but I love it. It looks amazing and runs so much faster than OneNote ever did.

  • Introducing Pi-hole v6

    Jump

  • It seems like the most significant new feature is called anti-gravity which is kind of an allow list?

    We've had white lists for a long time so I'm not exactly sure how this will impact the system. That being said I read through the release notes and there are a lot of changes and improvements throughout the system, so congrats to them team on the 6 release.

    I've had pihole running on my home network for years and I love it.

  • theFutureOfCommunication

    Jump

  • I think it's funny because it's true. Long form written communication used to convey a lot more subtlety than just its content. It's a tradition that we will lose a bit like other formalities because it no longer tells you useful information about the sender.

  • I think sites that feel they have valuable content can deploy this and hope to trap and perhaps detect those bots based on how they interact with the tarpit

  • Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

    Jump

  • Honest question, what are the incentives for instance operators to play nice, so to speak? And not just recreate new oligarch safe havens?

    It seems like each instance is a miniature zone of centralization and it's still incumbent on individuals to create their own circles of influence. For better or worse that's how we get hivemind echo chambers and I'm not sure it's even in human nature to seek anything else.

    Alternatively we have to rescue our friends and families when they start to fall for BS and educate them aggressively on improving the sourcing of their information.

  • TIL the owner of the Segway company died driving his Segway off a cliff less than a year after he bought the company.

  • Had one for a while. It's ok but the places you can safely ride are more limited than you think. E-scooters are a far superior invention for mobility.

  • The TOTP changes every time. For modern totp hashing I'm not sure how many sequential codes a keylogger would need but I'm guessing more than I will ever enter.

    Edit, asked ai for an answer to that because I was curious (maybe it's right):

    Start AI

    That being said, if an attacker were able to collect a large number of TOTP codes, they might be able to launch a brute-force attack to try to guess the private key. However, this would require an enormous amount of computational power and time.

    To give you an idea of the scale, let's consider the following:

     
            Assume an attacker collects 1000 TOTP codes, each 6 digits long (a common length for TOTP codes).
    Assume the private key is 128 bits long (a common length for cryptographic keys).
    Assume the attacker uses a powerful computer that can perform 1 billion computations per second.

    Using a brute-force attack, the attacker would need to try approximately 2128 (3.4 x 1038) possible private keys to guess the correct one. Even with a powerful computer, this would take an enormous amount of time - on the order of billions of years.

  • My bank uses a TOTP and they not only block paste, they also block all typing. Instead they popup a modal with a 0-9 digit keypand and the location of each number changes every time.

    Effing obnoxious.

  • Bots don't paste. If it a selenium related bot it would inject the value or type out each keypress.

    It only causes real users pain

  • Twitter's Traffic Falling Relative to Bluesky

  • Bluesky is being run by a funded professional startup team and is aimed at the masses. Mastodon is run by activists and software devs and brings in other like minded folks.

  • The smart ones all know how to use VPNs as well. They know what's up.

    Crazy thing is they only need to control the masses who are mostly uneducated or don't care enough to figure out what's going on. Turns out that even the USA has a massive group of the latter type.

  • As a passenger in the car, whats the things a driver does that pisses you off, makes you uncomfortable, or terrifies you?

  • Accelerate, brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate, brake on repeat when on a wide open road.

    Some drivers do this seemingly without being aware and once you notice it's impossible to ignore how irritating the feeling is.

  • I guess this device needed to connect to some remotely hosted server that enabled its functionality. And the company was losing money and hoping that sales would eventually pick up enough to make them profitable. But their latest investor decided not to put any more money in, and the company ran out of cash and can't pay its bills anymore.

    The entrepreneur thought he could get more investor cash and ran the business in such a way that it would fall off a cliff if he didn't. And... He failed to secure more financing.

    I have mixed feelings about products like this... If the device somehow needed to host an entire internet's worth of data to function, it certainly wouldn't have cost only $800. But when you buy a product that depends on the ongoing viability of the seller, you're in a position of caveat emptor - You better vet them out yourself, especially if they're new.

    Hopefully the founders feel some emotional attachment to their product and the trust bestowed upon them by their unknowing customers, and release whatever on the back end makes the thing work so that motivated customers could reactivate their devices somehow.

  • Postiz v1.10.0 - open-source social media scheduling tool (introducing plugs)

    Jump

  • Hah, I installed Postiz just yesterday, interesting to see this thread. It's like buffer or one of the other paid tools to schedule your social media posts and track engagement. Of course, of particular interest to our community, Postiz is self hosted.

    It doesn't have as many features yet as the major SaaS businesses, but the software is looking good and quite usable right now. I'm sure the more people who use it and support the developer, the more this tool can grow.

    For example you can plug in your OpenAI API key and get an LLM chat interface inside the software while writing social posts. But I don't think it learns your style or creates posts using any kind of system prompt yet unless you type it in each time.

    Another thing I couldn't figure out so far is how to limit which social media channels individual users can see. For example my business has several different units and there's a different marketing team on each unit, so they shouldn't be able to post into other channels.

    If you're in the business of needing to post regularly on a lot of channels I think postiz is worth checking out.
