Ok that’s n interesting application, damn I always have my phone around…

But yes, it would be interesting. Point is, I can’t think of how I would work unless you replace your phone message app with this one, and thrust it.

Who uses SMS today? 100% of SMS usage for me last N+1 years is for OTPs and such

You don’t get it: I am and will remain the only user of my instance…

Do you even now how Lemmy works? Did I say I was going to let ICE people create users on my instance? I only said I don’t defederate any instance.

Display name? I see inimzi as posting user and its pretty clear to me this user is related to the posted website. Advertising means revenue, where is it? This seems self promoting to me.

I am guilty if the same sin I guess with my self hosting wiki.

Wake up. Ice, being government, it’s already legitimized enough in real life.

What difference would it make in the social media. Better if they are out in the open in social media instead, at least they get responsible for what they post, officially.

I don’t ban anyone or any instance in my own instance, so no they cannot be “parammanned” from Lemmy. That’s not how it works and why i like Lemmy and its principles.

(Not American here)

While i agree fediverse is then solution and i don’t use bluesky, i don’t see the issue is recognizing ICE as verified.

After all ice is a government agency of the USA whether you like it or not, and should be verified if there is a procedure to do so.

No i don’t like ice and i do not condone what they do, but that doesn’t change the above statement.

And so what? To be honest, what’s wrong with self promotion?

But is the article interesting? Maybe this is the important thing to consider and comment about.

At least if they self promote they do it in the open and not hiding hypocritically

Really? Wow… I assumes was USA LoL

Well, I think there are a few… Indeed I know at least two italian instances, plus my private instance…

But most of activity is currently on USA instances like world, so…

My recent experience regarding questions on documentation:

• dovecot: shitty useless responses, totally made up
• Gentoo linux: to be checked twice and mostly wrong or fake
• godot: accurate and correct almost always, maybe examples not always 100% correct
• C++ standard 17: correct, never had a wrong reply from llm, also the exact ples where on point and correct

I think that’s all what I have used it for in the last six months.

Note: I used only Google search AI llm, nothing else.

So it seems that depends on what you ask.

Maybe you should check 5hat again. I never used llm before 2025, but proved itself useful for a few tasks. Yes check and verification still needed, but indeed made my life easier and got taken done faster. Quality was still a good as what I could do myself. Maybe that doesn’t speak well of myself I don’t know.

While you are correct, as all tools AI is not bad per se.

If you use ai to replace more lengthy documentation searches and write your own code that works out pretty well and speed up your work without degrading your coding. Granted, I got plainly incorrect answers as well, but at least I managed to be much more efficient.

Treat LLMs/ai as a glorified documentation aggregator and that’s how you correctly use that tool.

Like, use a knife to cut and cook meat, not to cut another person body, and that’s how you correctly use that tool too.

I run a setup very similar for many years. Upgraded progressively from 2x120GB to 4x4Tb, from mechanicals to sdds.

I can say don’t cheap out on the usb enclosures, the more you pay the better it is. I purchased a 4 bay JBOD usb3 box with a fan (150€+ nowadays) and that is the only enclosure that really worked out and still works (but retired) today. All single disk enclosures will fail sooner or later depending on how cheap they are, just take that onto consideration.

The setup itself is pretty good and stable, I would suggest standard Linux MDRaid 1, and on top of that something simple like ext4. I wouldn’t put anything that adds to the disk workloads like zfs, but maybe I am wrong.

Speed wise, I was able to stream movies without any hiccups, and that’s plenty I think.

Do not cheap out on the enclosures. Cheap ones will last 1 month, I don’t kid you.

And keep them cool… Fan… Air circulation… USB controllers will be killed faster than mechanical disks by heat. And 24/7 will generate heat… Those enclosures are not built for that…

Again, it’s pretty doable and I did it for almost 2 decades. DONT BE CHEAP ON ENCLOSURES (did I say so already?) And you should be fine.

Does it means you use only FreeBSD and dumbphones?

If you don’t want to use postgresql for some obscure reason use MariaDB real open source MySQL drop in replacement.

Yes I fully agree…

My areas weather is slowing improving a lot. Much drier and much less humidity is good… Not for agricultural and tourism (skying) but for actualiving here yes.

Granted, I had to install AC for that time in the summer (2 days 7 years ago, 2 weeks nowdays). And winters are still cold… But being overall much drier I love it more.

So is that a good thing? Nope. But you need to adapt I guess, not much hope in us fixing it.

This.

That’s why temping obscurity for security is not a good idea. Doesn’t take much to be “safe”, at least reasonably safe. But that not much its good practice to be done :)

Not really here… You need to be a 1000km further north, maybe 1500km. And we have below freezing winters usually…
