I host my main server on my own hardware, and a VPN on Hetzner because my shitty ISP doesn't let me port forward. For the past year, bots were hitting my Forgejo instance hard. I forgot to disable registration and they generated hundreds of accounts with hundreds of repos with sketchy links, generating terrabytes of traffic from my VPS, costing me money in traffic. I disabled registration and deleted the spam, and bots still kept hitting my server for several months, which would cause memory leaks over time and crash it and consume CPU, and still costed me money with terrabytes of traffic per month. A few weeks ago, I put Anubis on the VPS. Now, zero bots hit my Forgejo instance and I don't pay for their traffic anymore. Problem solved.
As shitty as AI is for counseling, the alternative resources are so few, unreliable, and taboo that I can't blame people for wanting to use it. People will judge and remember you. AI affirms and forgets. People have mandatory reporting for "self harm" (which could include things like drug usage) that incarcerates you and fucks up your life even more. AI does not. People are varied with differing advice, while AI uses the same models in different contexts. Counselors are expensive, AI is $20/mo. And lastly, people have a tendency to react fearfully to taboo topics in ways that AI doesn't. I see a lot of outrage towards AI, but it seems like the sort of outrage that led to half-assed liability-driven "call this number and all of your problems will be solved" incarceration and abandonment hotlines is what got us here to begin with.
Well Android doesn't use a mainline Linux kernel and instead adds a bunch of hacks that break compatibility with some core Linux programs, so it's not pure in that sense either
I use Passkeys with Bitwarden in desktop Firefox, but for some reason I can't get them to work in GrapheneOS/Vanadium even though I have Bitwarden set as my password provider
Threatening violence on your opponent's territory right before you have to negotiate with them is stupid though unless you have a reason to want things to escalate
IDK how dumb this idea is, but what if Trump/Republicans that align with him are trying to cause a shutdown to take advantage of the chaos somehow and blame it on the Democrats, and part of the reason for sending the military to Portland/LA was to anger the Democrats enough to not fold?
It means you can use the regular Linux kernel instead of fucking around with a custom kernel (like Asahi) or with some sort of Android layer (like Halium). So running whatever distro you want shouldn't be too difficult.
Oops, although terabyte is 1000 GB, 1024 GiB is tebibyte
