I'm sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.

  • How System Requests Work and How to Add Your Own SysReq

    Jump

  • Amazing. I've been 'staring' at the sys rq key for 20 years with Linux and many years before with Win/Dos, and never really knew how it worked, for what, or if it was still used for anything - even then.

    Apparently (from light search) sysreq was mostly used in the old days to halt current job and enter a systems menu.

    Anyway, thanks for fixing a long-standing knowledge gap :-)

  • Why does no distro utilise BitTorrent to distribute packages?

    Jump

  • Over time I've seen several groups tinker with p2p protocols for packages. Latest using gnunet/ipfs for Guix packages. But I've never seen a working/integrated system. Weird..

  • The Dark Side Of Music Piracy - YouTube

    Jump

  • Seems the only 'dark side' was that he was caught..

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

    Jump

  • There's imho no stupid questions regarding personal cyber-security. There are only things we don't know yet.

  • Made a screensaver for my e-reader, thought you guys might like it as well

    Jump

  • I'm old. Once upon a time 'screen savers' were used for ..saving screens, I swear it's the truth :-) I would've bet money on screensavers disappearing when CRT monitors did, but that certainly did not happen. It exploded. I kind of expect that someone by now have created a screensaver ..plugin for another screensaver..

    Not picking on you, just feeling old suddenly. I tried searching for 2024 all-time insane screensavers but only found this 13yo one from vsauce: iv.melmac.space/watch?v=zwX95UaKCRg

    ..but I'm curios what have happened in 13 years, so if any lurkers know better search-fu, please add..

    Sharing is caring <3

  • Leaked Google Search API documentation

    Jump

  • 'Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information'

    I'm sure they only use that little 'non-fascistic' feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

    China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.

  • Is Stremio a honeypot?

    Jump

  • Is Stremio a honeypot?

    Jump

  • I read a comment somewhere that Stremio uploads like a normal client. Just a comment oc, but it should be easy to check for a network savvy reader. It may be that the plugin does it, dunno.

  • Self hosting an LLM for research

    Jump

  • You need more than a llm to do that. You need a Cognitive Architecture around the model that include RAG to store/retrieve the data. I would start with an agent network (CA) that already includes the workflow you ask for. Unfortunately I don't have a name ready for you, but take a look here: https://github.com/slavakurilyak/awesome-ai-agents

  • Transparent compression layer on Linux?

    Jump

  • Not much help, but a quick search revealed this: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs

    This seemed to be read-only tho, so not sure if it covers the use case you described. If you can program a little (AI help?) find a simple fuse filesystem in a language you know, fiddle with it and call ffmpeg or similar on receiving files.

  • [Solved: Theme updated] GNOME 46 grey boxes

    Jump

  • I'm not a Gnome expert and are using the 'dash2dock' extension, but if I right click on rightmost 'show apps' icon, and select 'dash2dock settings, I can change opacity, bg color and such.

    Not sure where else to change those settings, so apol's if this is not applicable in your case.

  • streaming or torrenting today vs. 5 years ago

    Jump

  • How to speed up accessing lots of files on another computer? Some kind of local cache?

    Jump

  • A few ideas/hints: If you are up for some upgrading/restructuring of storage, you could consider a distributed filesystem: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Comparison_of_distributed_file_systems?lang=en.

    Also check fuse filesystems for weird solutions: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace?lang=en

    Alternatively perhaps share usb drives from 'desktop' over ip (https://www.linux.org/threads/usb-over-ip-on-linux-setup-installation-and-usage.47701/), and then use bcachefs with local disk as cache and usb-over-ip as source. https://bcachefs.org/

    If you decide to expose your 'desktop', then you could also log in remote and just work with the files directly on 'desktop'. This oc depends on usage pattern of the files.

  • Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade

    Jump

  • Cheapest upgrade? Cram an old Android mobile in the USB port, and run a few services on that via Termux..

  • What's a good use for an edge TPU?

    Jump

  • Image recognition, speech2txt, txt2speech, classification and such smaller models. They are fast but have no memory worth mentioning and are heavily dependent on data access speed. Afaik, transformer based models are hugely memory bound and may not be a good match if run on these externally via Usb3.

  • Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

    Jump

  • I feel hustled, bc I recommended Signal to others :-( However, ANY contact with the US elite is a clear sign of the NSA/CIA/NED propaganda/spying network. I think It is safest for everyone, to voluntarily adopt the Russian, Chinese, Iranian, etc blocklist/firewall of western big-tech propaganda and spy methods, and seek out trustworthy open source. Oc Lemmy/federation as well as any other point of contact with the commoners are valid targets for these guy's, but a minimum of defense like that seems to be the only way to keep the US Capitalist elite out of our lives.

    Anyway, bye bye Signal. Gnu? Alternative ?

  • Exporting YouTube Subscriptions to OPML and Watching via RSS

    Jump

  • Oh, my.. I followed a few subs on reddit. On lemmy I've only found https://lemmy.ml/c/degoogle but that's also the biggest de-x movement afaik.

  • Lix - a new fork of Nix

    Jump

  • I believe https://www.pantherx.org/ is both Guix based and, I think, more relaxed on the non-guix issue. Don't know much else tbh, but peeps interested can check it out.

  • Exporting YouTube Subscriptions to OPML and Watching via RSS

    Jump

  • Creative! Maybe an idea for a foss python library/app ? It would be lovely to have a library/app that looks at a crowdsourced list of scum corps and what counter measures exists to migrate from them to any number of free non-capitalist services !

    Atmo, we have de-google, de-m$, de-crapple and so on, but it's a huge work to de-capitalize your life. We need to make that process simpler by automating it.
