I use Nextcloud Deck. It’s amazing.

on What do you do for email? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 15 Sep 2026
I use (and created) Port87. Its goal is to reduce spam, but the way it works has a byproduct of being inherently rather private. You give out a different address to each place.
It is not end-to-end encrypted, so if that’s a deal breaker for you, I’m afraid it won’t work. That might be in the extended roadmap, but there are a lot of other features I need to build first (IMAP, CardDAV, mailing lists, and a better composition experience are my top priorities right now).

on Iran and Houthi rebels used Anthropic's Claude AI to target US warships and build hypersonic missiles — Houthi rebels also used the bot to code ballistic missile guidance systems in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
It is literally a statistical next word predictor. Well, next token, to be extremely accurate. That is what it is in its most basic form. You give it text, it transforms that into tokens, and predicts the next token. You can then transform that back into words.
The model is the same size no matter how much it’s been trained. You can fine tune a model to predict certain kinds of tokens next, and you can distill a model to create a smaller model (basically training a small model on the output of a large model).
Lossy compression works in a fundamentally different way.

It would be even more accurate to call it a statistical next word predictor trained on human language.

on Channel 5 shares their email list with Hunter Biden who used it to pump a crypto scam apparently in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 8 Sep 2026
Yeah, that’s true. It’s on purpose:
Many services block addresses from anonymous email services, so we’ve made the conscious decision to not provide anonymous addresses on the
port87.comdomain. We do understand the value of maintaining your privacy through anonymous addresses, though, so we do not block anonymizing services, and we encourage you to use them with Port87 to enhance your online privacy.- port87.help/#support-for-anonymized-email-service…
If you have your own domain, Port87 supports that though. So you can use that without a shared username between your addresses. Basically the same concept as a catch-all through the other services you mentioned.

Yes and no. It essentially does the same thing, but makes it easier. You don’t have to set up anything beforehand. You use subaddressing by default, so you can give out an address like degen-channel5@port87.com, and it creates the “channel5” label for you when it gets an email addressed to it. It has per-label controls, so if you just don’t care about those emails, you can have them not send notifications and mark them as read.
I think anonaddy lets you use ad-hoc addresses like that too, but you can’t set it to mark them as read and no notifications, since anonaddy isn’t the actual email service.

This is pretty much exactly why I use Port87. Instant block for the Channel 5 label.

This wholly depends on where this code is running. If it’s running on the server, you want the best algorithm for most cases, to try to minimize work and power consumption, and maximize capacity. If it’s running on the client, just use whatever.

Oh shit. My friends will find out that I play NSFW games. I mean, they already know, because they see it in their feed, and they get a popup every time I start playing one. But, now they’ll know even more…

on YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate in c/technology@beehaw.org · 8 Aug 2026
I’m not trying to slander them. It’s just my opinion. They put time and effort into their videos; they’re just, like, lowest common denominator videos. To me, that makes them slop. A million times better than AI slop, but still slop, in the same way that History Channel videos are slop.

It’s sensationalist. It is well researched, so it’s generally technically accurate, and they admit when they make a mistake. But, it’s also generally focused on things that are either very hypothetical, or just not helpful. Basically, it’s high quality clickbait.

That’s right. Kurzgesagt may be slop, but it’s man-made slop. Slop delicately crafted by real human hands.

I was afraid when I saw this
