    Can someone please suggest me a decentralised/Blockchain platform where l can upload my videos pertaining to culture, and share them as links ? I used to do this on Dailymotion, but now they're

    Jump

  • Blockchain isn't really a great storage mechanism for large files, it is good for small transactions/records. This is why most NFTs are just links to content instead of storing the content in the blockchain itself. It is possible to store that data in the chain but you usually pay transaction fees based on the size of that data. To store the data in the chain everyone participating in the chain would need a full copy of every video posted which isn't really feasible long term.

    It is also nearly impossible to moderate. i.e. how do you remove illegal CSAM content from something that is designed to be immutable.

    So storing data like this is just not the right use case for blockchain.

    Someone could create a site based on a blockchain where you distribute links to videos, but those links would still need to be stored somewhere else. You really aren't gaining much beyond just hosting the content yourself.

    The only valid use case would be if you are attempting to avoid government influence that might try to modify your content later, or able to prove that you are the one posting the content. You could use the blockchain to post a link to a video and the hash of the file to verify it is the correct file, then anyone with access to the chain would have a record of who posted it and a way to validate that the content hasn't been modified.

    There are federated options like PeerTube that are close to what you want but without the blockchain issues.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Says ‘We Should Not Be Entertaining a Bailout’ of AI Industry as Bubble Fears Grow

    Jump

  • I think the better solution is if the company is so important that it needs to be bailed out, then should just get nationalized when it fails.

    Our money goes towards bailing them out, but the public owns it after that. The shareholders that ran it into the ground shouldn't get to keep it.

  • Tech companies don’t care that students use their AI agents to cheat

  • "Tech companies don't care that students use calculators to cheat"

    AI is just a tool like a calculator. No company cares about their employees beyond getting work out of them. If a potential employee shows that they can use the tools at their disposal to get the job done then why would they care?

  • +1 to this. Lots of talk in this thread about drivers, but the only driver involved here is the Bluetooth driver. Half of the point of Bluetooth is that peripherals don't need their own drivers, they just provide various profiles which are standardized so the Bluetooth service can consume those profiles from any device.

    Not an expert in this area but I believe the implementation of most of those profiles is user space, so the proper place to be debugging is the Bluetooth service or in pulsesudio. So start your Bluetooth service logs they might give you some idea as to what is going on. Try to get a list of what profiles are supported by your OS and what profiles are supported by the device, maybe the device only supports some newer lossless profile that hasn't been implemented in Linux yet.

  • I think they worded that backwards and are referring to the adage (or maybe that is what the banks go off of?) that your loan shouldn't be for more than 3x your income. So if you make 80k per year you can generally afford a $240k house.

    Going above that 3x means too much of your income goes to paying for the house and you don't have enough for other living expenses+maintaining the house.

  • Likely that the browser they were pointed at went missing (executable moved or something), or was crashing at launch, and this is just Windows saying "I can't find the default you wanted so I am falling back to Edge, otherwise a lot of stuff is going to be broken".

  • Best way to search files on remote server?

    Jump

  • If you want the search to be flexible like handling things like root stemming (i.e. for matching words that are pluralized etc) you might want to put the text into an Elasticsearch database.

    You might run into problems with the field length if these are long documents. A possible solution to that would be an putting each page into its own field inside of the document.

    If this is for a non tech user to search, the Kibana interface should be relatively easy for anyone to use.

  • Devs are more worried than ever that generative AI will lower the quality of games

    Jump

  • The biggest question is going to be will the AI be able to run locally or will they use it as an excuse to turn the game into a subscription.

    I can see it now... "The game needs to make calls to OpenAI that we have to pay for to generate dialog so we need to charge by the month for the game"

    They will finally have an excuse to turn single player games into subscriptions as well.

  • Using AI in games isn't about AI coding. Using AI to code games is likely already in almost every studio.

    When they say AI in games that means AI artwork, voice lines, environments, etc.

    i.e. imagine NPCs that change their voice lines based on recent events like recently completed missions, or your player looks/equipment/etc. With AI you don't have to pre-record a near infinite amount of voice lines they can be generated on the fly.

  • Credit scores drop at fastest pace since the Great Recession

  • It's not like they want to punish you for paying off your car.

    The reality is that a high percentage of the population loads up on more debt after paying off current debts, so the algorithm reflects that. Usually those points come back after a couple of months.

  • Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules

    Jump

  • Actually I believe host networking would be the one case where this isn't an issue. Docker isn't adding iptables rules to do NAT masquerading because there is no IP forwarding being done.

    When you tell docker to expose a port you can tell it to bind to loopback and this isn't an issue.

  • I don't use the WebOS app but generally default subtitles/audio languages are set on your profile and the apps pick up those settings.

    Try logging in to the web interface and going to your user profile. There is a "Playback" section where you can set your preferred languages. If this isn't set it likely is taking the default language from your media files instead.

  • Well the title and most of the article seems to be more about stopping prostitution instead of preventing murder... The article talks a lot about these women being vulnerable but doesn't really give those women any solutions other than taking away their source of income (which I would think makes them even more vulnerable). It seems like they are using the murder to push a different agenda.

    The article even talks about a good number of non-transactional relationships which aren't against the rules and still sometimes results in women getting assaulted.

    Maybe instead of making it against the rules they should make sure it happens somewhere where the soldiers are better monitored. Hopefully then they less likely to assault the women, and it would at the very least be easier to get justice than when a tragedy like that happens. Proving who did it is much more difficult when the victim/perpetrator have to hide their activity in the first place.

  • Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet

    Jump

  • Laws can easily have exceptions for these things. In China for instance "non approved" VPNs are illegal, but there are plenty of legal VPNs as well.

    For instance businesses can get approval for their own VPNs, and regular people can use some free/paid VPNs within the country, but presumably the government can see all of the traffic within those.

  • Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet

    Jump

  • My prediction is that this is more about banning VPNs than about age verification. Start with this, then when everyone is "using VPNs to break the law" they have an excuse to ban VPNs.

    Governments world wide likely see VPNs as incredibly dangerous. Plenty of examples of countries like Iran cutting off the internet entirely to prevent protests from organizing.

    I think they want their own great firewall.

  • Presumably the cert would be a smart card (similar to credit card chips) protected with a pin. And they can use revocation lists to remove cards that are reported stolen.

    There would have to be a serial number at the least but that would change every time your card expired, and the government would certainly know who is issued what serial.

    Another downside is users would need smart card or NFS readers to use them. Smart cards have been around for digital identification for decades now, it's really surprising that more government haven't pushed their use. From a user perspective though it would be pretty quick that every online service would start requiring them and any online anonymity would erode pretty quickly.

  • Even with https if you aren't on TLS 1.3 the SNI (server name indicator) is not encrypted so the hostname you are trying to access would be visible to your ISP.

    Forcing your browser to only use TLS1.3 would fix that but who knows how many sites it would break.

  • Server access from China

    Jump

  • Unauthorized VPNs (non government approved) are illegal in China. If a business needs their own they can get approval but they have to apply for those exceptions.

    It isn't really enforced, probably especially so for non citizens, but if you do something they don't like it is something they could use against you.

    You would probably be less breaking the law to just directly open up SSH and access that instead of tunneling through a VPN. Even though SSH can do tunneling of its own.
