I know from a friend's friend that you can use an image generator language model and photoshop to make fake photos of IDs to get around this, you just have to let your email account associated with the service's account "cook" first (e.g. let big data fingerprint it by watching youtube and creating general activity on it) so their algorithm does not recognize it as fraud

Since this thread was last bumped things have gotten worse.
The thing that is on my mind is how would one run a site without having to follow such laws.
Like I want to run my own porn site which is the most risky category.

this is very common if you are overemployed and want to have two different CVs. it's not "anonymously" just not tied to a real ID.

How about a webring instead? If a bunch of people making smut just link to eachother, there's no platform to be forced to do this to begin with.

>>31418
yeah thats one step away from just throwing up a torrent

>>31535
That can be fixed with a bit of fine tuning
Thinking about it even with that tuning I'd still prefer having an LLM as a manager than your average manager

LGTM, merged

My own personal pale horse for AI was when they started circling back to the idea of porn generation. The reason why they steered clear is because it opens a gigantic can of worms, some ideological (it is well known that the paypal mafia and big tech in general is incredibly sex-averse), some are legal liabilities around generated CSAM, and some just branding issues (an professional office utility tool that also talks dirty to you? lmao). Another issue is that it's incredibly hard to have a monopoly on virtual sexbots: replika has existed since fucking forever because sex models are somewhat cheap. You don't even need vidgen, just slap some shitty 3D anime girl on top of all conversations. So it's definitely a desperate move to make, high risk for limited return, but it's also the only venue that actually has provable demand.

In my experience external HDDs have been horrible for reliability and constantly broke. But maybe that's because I was too clumsy and dropped them sometimes and didn't really know you shouldn't move them while they're plugged in

All my important files I have stored in triplicate on three old 3.5" hdd sata drives of different brands I had lying around. I figure if they are stored somewhere out of the elements at least one of them ought to still be readable 20 years from now.

You guys stressing out about pirated content you can download anywhere and you don't even give it the time of your day, meanwhile I lost all my teenage years' photos on my old phone that broke.

I got some WD Red HDD drives years ago and they're been at it just fine, I dunno why they have such a bad rep. You also should probably invest in some sort of NAS device with raid or whatever, 2 TB devices are dirt cheap these days and you can always use the peace of mind tbh

Competes with webp. Think that's about it. A lot of programs do support it but chrome refusing is the main banana peel on the road.

nothing is sufficiently better than good old JPEG to actually dethrone it. what we should do is actually implement the full JPEG spec, which has a bunch of neat features like pyramidal compression and range coding

Am interested in transforming this into a federated platform with "little boxes".
There are mandatory trips where the trip password is a edDSA private key and the trip a public key.
These are generated client side, and the private key never hits the wire let alone the server.
Usernames are equal to the public key, unless the user changes them.
The client signs the HTTP packet client side that will be sent to the outbox of the post it responds to.
There are group actors of different kinds which make up the boards.
We accept all follows and drop all DMs to keep things simple and safe.

>Am interested in transforming this into a federated platform with "little boxes".
There are three problems with this:
1. Fediverse UI assumes one repliee per post.
2. There are caching and scaling difficulties with ActivityPub.
3. ActivityStreams are complicated.

Fortunately 1. is a small percentage of posts.
Probably less than 5% are of a form that can't be easily broken up or changed for an @mention.
In the absolute worst case you should still be able to link to posts using the URL.
Still not sure about what the UI for this should be. [^1]

Seems the standard issue scaling solution is making everything maxage=300 JSON plus a CDN.
The Inbox is a POST endpoint, and so can't be cached, but there is sharedInbox which makes it a little easier.
Being focused on Group with anonymous users should prevent the feed, and search related performance drains.
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>31540
Less gibberish, important bits:
- Keep private keys off the wire/server.
- Cache immutable the outbox.
- Use sharedInbox.
- Use a CDN for caching.

Also with https://github.com/joewlos/activitypubdantic instead of "little boxes".
And further drop any strange pagination requests to the outbox.

>>31541
Thought of a couple more ways to improve performance.
- Use workers for fanout of POST requests in server-to-server.
- Use NoSQL for storage of ActivityPub.

Am using Beanie in this 2.2, and the question is, "is this an added translation layer".
There is imperfect translation between Beanie and PyMongo Async queries.
This goes against a design principle that was working so excellently in 2.1.
And this is a little disappointing.

The plus-side is managed to make it economical to scale since it's 0.30 USD / 1m requests.

>>31541
>Cache immutable the outbox.
I wrote signature verification for the inbox and three implementation for the Person outbox.
Think I'd like it to be illegal to use an irregular cursor/page so that the cache rarely misses.
But would also like to avoid using the "skip" parameter with O(n) search of the documents.
No matter how it's implemented it seems to require a document mapping cursors to pages.

>>31353
Am interested in if "Let's Verify Step by Step" can be applied to prompting. So you construct a prompt telling it to explain step by step what it's doing. You then give incremental feedback as it's constructing the chain of thought. The responses steps are kept small so there's not much time lost to generation. Bonus it makes the models look real stupid, and you have to think a little.

Have fun kids

Officially you can only call it Android if Google approves of it, it's for device manufactures and your device has to pass certain requirements and I assume pay some money, and then they give you the Google Play Services and all that crap and then you have Android. The open source version is called AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and it does not have the Play services and stuff, and most likely won't have this either.

I'm curious about how Obtanium will work since it uses git links to build packages.

huh? i use obtainium for one specific app. afaik, it only downloads the release files from github, it never builds anything from source.
if the dev uploaded the signed apk to github releases, it will still work. if they didn't do that or it's files straight out of a build pipeline it won't (unless you're using android without google play services)…

Nobody tell him what the Python interpreter is written in.

Both Wireguard and OpenVPN are just protocols. What you're looking for is alternative implementations, OP.
There are user-space implementations of both protocols in languages like Rust, Go, or some other niche meme language you may worship. If you're persistent enough, there are probably some microkernel-based operating systems which can let you use these alternative implementations as low-level components of the OS - on par with original, C-based implementations.
I have to warn you though, that most original implementations of VPN protocols use C language for very good reasons:

1. Building a high-performance VPN daemon in user-space is an absolute pain in the ass on contemporary operating systems
2. Integrating higher-level languages into kernel code is pure fucking pain. The only operating system that does this correctly is NetBSD (as far as I'm aware) with their Lua modules.
3. If you're building a kernel module that's pretty much just a wrapper over a cryptographic protocol - memory safety isn't even your first concern. One of many reasons why you shouldn't roll out your own crypto, is that implementing cryptographic protocols in a way that's not susceptible to timing side channel attacks is absurdly difficult. In case of higher-level languages whose compilers/interpreters may introduce automatically generated optimizations for the resulting code - you can't really predict whether your program is going to contain timing side channels or not. Some langauges provide special constructs to explicitly allow secure cryptographic code to be written, but in most cases - it's safe to say we have far more experience with writing correct crypto code in C than in, let's say, Python.

hahahaha, I've had the same setting, sometimes shit code makes you want to blow your brains, it was a 20 year old .net codebase, PORTED from another company that was about selling horses or some shit, and it was adapted to handle biometric product catalogues, a CRM, i remember finding comments from 2004.

I like IceWM and Window Maker. Both are easy to use. IceWM comes with Windows 95 clone GUI and Window Maker is different (similar to NeXT) but still just as easy to use.
