Are we at the stage where nation states show they TOO have an army of robots in a new arms race?

Another walled garden that will fracture the system even more and give even more credit to the open social web.

Not surprised at all actually. I’ve done it. 😬

The DDoS came from … INSIDE THE HOUSE!

This is the answer. Everyone assumes your user Crontab works just like you. It doesn’t. You have to be explicit as possible, because it’s basically like another person attempting to run your stuff, but not having any of your environment variables.

So you’re telling it to CD, but calling the script name then tells it to look in it’s path, which it won’t have that. T

he ./ says ‘run from right where I am right now’ while ‘<scriptname>’ says run an executable where ever it is which then immediately checks $PATH, bit not local.

So ‘./<script name>’ says run my script and it’s right HERE in the place you’re in right now.

YUP! We talked about Cory Doctorow’s Deep Crack! Well it’s not his, he’s just borrowing the deep crack. :-D I’m a child. It’s this and it’s SUPER cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFF_DES_cracker

Cory Doctorow is fantastic. I spoke with him on Fireside Fedi and he’s just brilliant and has seen some amazing tech. We even talked about his deep crack. That and lots of other interviews with Fedi folks for anyone interested: https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/huevh4L6r1yMYXqcQMi8gR

No harm in that. To each their own. :-) Everyone gets to decide at least.

Good plan. Keep locking down your big tech platforms, and we’ll all be over here letting folks know where they can find freedom.

Fediverse has quite alot of indie musicians. Check out LABR http://labr.online/ or the indie beat https://theindiebeat.fm/ and try some new music and support creatives directly.

US has done it before. Stem cell research has been held back in the US even before it could PROVE that it was effective. Here, mRNA PROVED it worked and we’re undoing it. This is worse than ignorance. It’s down right maliciously negligent. Once again all because of their beliefs that science is wrong.

Techno King Asshole. TKA for short.

Can I throw my Fedicast in here as well? :-) https://video.firesidefedi.live/@show

oooooo do openAI next!

Let us know your thoughts! I’ve been using it for years. Definitely some jank, definitely not for everyone, but again it’s been pretty good for me. And if you really want you can run your own server.

Lol that’s an absolutely fair request. Have you asked on Element github? Sounds like a Mich needed feature.

Matrix via Element works great for me personally and it’s available now. :-D

Happy to have folks on e2ee matrix. It supports calling directly and group voice and video chat rooms quite well IMO. :-)

Cory is amazing. I interviewed him on Fireside Fedi and that dude has so many well thought out points. He changed my mind on Threads coming into the Fediverse.
