Fascinating.

Apparently, BlackMeta is behind the DDoS attack to the Internet Archive. Apparently they are pro-Palestine hacktivists - their X account also has some russian written in it.

(Edit) Also, Internet Archive is banned on China since 2012 and Russia since 2015.

It was a long read, but it is interesting.

Well, I’m selfhosting the LLM and the WebUI

I didn’t pay that much. It was 300 to 500 reais. I received the product in my doorstep.

Ebay or Aliexpress, I don’t remember. It works in conjunction with “Livraria cultura”, though.

Maybe the problem is not pornography and videogames, but a grim look at the future - where the person has no stimulus or sight of something good for themselves. Maybe if things were a little less darker and men believed in themselves and their future, things would be better.

It seems that the book focus on foreign wars and interventions, but the lasting impact of western culture industry in the whole world is also important. I think it also takes a better life experience out from the ordinary american citizen. The western american citizen could be living a better life (more independent and self-aware), were it not by mass culture.

I bought a Kobo Clara last year and it works. I can even buy books. I live in Brazil.

Incredible. How can companies have that much power? Buying a nuclear reactor as if it were a birthday gift.

It needs to work and be reliable, else it becomes something like YaCy, that doesn’t work that well. Well, Mastodon and Lemmy work fine, so that’s a first step.

Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it’s all the better.

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

Well, it is a little weird that Tor was originally a military technology funded by the US Department of Defense. Also, privacy in these days is really hard to achieve.

It’s cute, like a version of the tardigrade.

I have worked with somewhat large codebases before using LLMs. You can ask the LLM to point a specific problem and give it the context. I honestly don’t see myself as capable without a LLM. And it is a good teacher. I learn much from using LLMs. No free advertisement for any of the suppliers here, but they are just useful.

You get access to information you can’t find on any place of the Web. There is a large structural bad reaction to it, but it is useful.

(Edit) Also, I would like to add that people who said that questions won’t be asked anymore seemingly never tried getting answers online in a discussion forum - people are viciously ill-tempered when answering.

With a LLM, you can just bother it endlessly and learn more about the world while you do it.

Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That’s why I stopped using it.

Hot stuff. I got to say, YouTube has some pretty interesting things.

I stand by the indie studios. We have proof again and again that indies just want to reach their public.
