on Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sites in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
Indeed. It starts with implementing the means, arguing with CSAM, terrorism, foreign espionage, or whatever cow is on the main street, and once it is running, it will be abused, both by broadly extending the reach (‘It was initially meant to fight terrorism, but is now used to cover copyright and parking violations.’), and illegal abuse by users (‘Police officer tracks his ex through Flock cameras’).

The big question is: How many things are they breaking? If they have to fix nearly a thousand bugs in a real hurry, they’ll probably break at least as many other things.

“If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.” Isn’t that the mantra of the police and secret services everywhere when they demand more intrusive snooping rights?
So what do they do wrong that they suddenly have something to hide?

on Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says in c/technology@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
If Doe is actually recognizable, then chances are high that actual pictures of her or him were used for training the AI. Wouldn’t surprise me. They scrape the internet for everything they can get their digital hands on, regardless of copyright or criminal law. They are bound to find illegal stuff on that track.
The next thing is that there are probably confidential data in the training sets, either exposed by neglient users, or by hackers that breached sites and blackmailed them.
And of course all the copyrighted material they used without permission.
If AI companies would really get sued on those three illegal sources, they could probably close their doors.

on Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
One place to look at are web sites dealing with company bankruptcies. They are good for purchasing electronics and tools.
Back when windows and office licenses were bound to a sticker with a key number, I bought a stack of broken laptops for 10€. They were leftovers from an auction - nobody wanted them. I removed and tested RAM and harddisks, and then cut out the bottom of those laptops where the license stickers were. I sold each set of licenses, Windows and Office, for 10€ each, making a good profit. And kept the RAM and HDs that worked for my own use.

That’s the main reason why you don’t save data to one drive, unless you have at least one local backup.
And if you put anything on one drive, you better just put an encrypted backup there. No plain data.

on Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Well, they don’t need AI to fuck things up. That they could do way before that.
I once looked for an electronic part. I entered the part number, and got a crazy amount of irrelevant options listed, like female hygiene products, vases, clothing, and, somewhere in the list, the chip I was looking for.
Just for fun, I clicked some of those other articles and searched the page for the part number. No matches whatsoever. I don’t understand what made that algorithm presenting completely irrelevant stuff when there was one article in the list that matched my search term.

on Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
I currently have a different problem with Amazon. I ordered a graphics card four weeks ago. No high end thing, a simple one with a price tag of €132. They confirmed sending it, then something happened, and shipping was delayed. I got the offer to cancel my order. Nope. I want that card. That’s why I ordered it. They currently have 10 of them in stock, but now priced €199. If I would cancel and order new i would have to pay the new price.

on Db admin, cloud admin, printers, more for $110k. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 19 Aug 2026
When I was a student, I already had my Novell admin certificate, so it got some jobs on the side. Someone pointed me to a law firm where the owner wanted their PCs networked. We met, he showed me the list of hardware he wanted to buy - everything top notch, big server, new PCs with all bells, whistles and gongs back then, 19in rack for all the necessities, etc. That list was an offer from an expensive office outfitter he knew.
He “just” needed someone to install the stuff. I could easily have done that, but all he offered was a kind of internship. Oh what I could learn from working with top of the pop equipment! I told him I was here because it already knew everything that was needed. He then offered me that I could take the old PCs as “compensation”.
I left, and warned others not to waste time with that idiot.

A German three letter agency had a similar ad. They were looking for someone who was proficient in encryption, hacking, protocols on Windows, Mac and Linux, and a few other things in that area. Experienced both in programming and leadership. And as a cherry on the top, this person would have to have knowledge about all the legal aspects of all of this, too.
All for a midrange bureaucrat salary. A security expert commented on this something like “if i had someone with that kind of skill set and experience, I would hire him out for a daily fee about as high as their offered monthly salary.”

on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
Not selfhosting, but I remember standing in a server room with a hands’ width of water on the ground (and rising), and hastily shutting down servers where the water was already in the case. It were big towers (Compaq Proliant, if anyone remembers), and luckily the board, drives, and PSU were in the top part of the big tower cases, the drive bays at the bottom were empty.
We got all equipment out safely, and we did not get electrocuted, either. We left with the last equipment when the water level was approaching the knees.

I’ve wrote my first pre-emptive multitasking OS as a teenager. I also wrote my first compiler back then. I’ve worked on everything from industrial controllers to a Cray YMP. And I’ve forgotten more programming languages than most hacker kids can list. I consider myself as a seasoned programmer.

Not only in code. Documentation for the end user (or at least halfway there, the final document is done by a separate department), is important, too.
There is a reason that my job description is “Embedded Systems Architect”. But I see this complete packet as “programming”.
