You know, now you mention it, I haven’t tested to see if the filter functionality of my reader will accept a regular expression. I’ll give it a go later, thanks!

Yeah, well, you’re talking to a human with contradictions and biases. I don’t want to use it, but I suppose the scenario presented is the lesser of two evils for me personally.

I don’t know what a language classifier is. I’m chatting to you about it because you seem interested, but otherwise I prefer to live as though none of this exists. That might make me some kind of luddite.

I’ve come to the same place with politics. It got to a point recently where, in my opinion, the worst possible act has been committed by the most powerful people with the most concrete evidence that we’re ever going to see. In my mind it was the ultimate test to see if we mere mortals had any sort of control over justice and unchecked power. Once it became evident to me that we don’t, I have completely checked out, and will now live my life in ignorance to politics, because if I don’t have control, and it depresses me, the best thing for me to do is try to carve out a little slice of this world to live in ignorant contentment.

Well, as I said I’m not really going to try to solve it. I prefer to not see headlines that talk about AI, politics and some other things, and I’ll filter them out and I’ll use the tools that are already available to me to do so. Now if my RSS app came out with a feature that used AI sentiment analysis to filter out those topics, I’d probably switch it on, but I’m not going to involve myself in solving the problem in any regard, but in the hypothetical, “regex soup” would rank higher than AI.

I find that whenever I have used AI to find a solution, I have forfeited learning, so I avoid it completely so that I can learn about the thing that AI would have otherwise shortcut for me. Regarding this specific example, while it may or may not be the case that AI is the best tool for sentiment analysis, it’s not the best or most efficient tool for keyword filtering, and keyword filtering is all I’d really need. In the event that I cared enough about the filtering to find or build a solution, it wouldn’t be with AI for this reason, but also because of the aforementioned reasons. Even if they’re not applicable to this very scenario, I’d rather not involve myself in the technology at all if I can help it.

Because use of AI is bad for me. YMMV.

😂 yes indeed!

Me: I’m sick of hearing about AI. It’s very existence brings me down. It’s bad for the environment, bad for code, bad for mental illness, bad for humans.

AI: Sorry to interrupt, but have you considered using AI to help with this matter?

Legitimately, I agree it would be a good use, but I will be sticking with non-AI solutions regardless.

I think the reality is that people will downvote the AI posts, and that will incentivise people to not disclose it or outright lie. The other thing that came to mind here is the fact that I’ve been trying to set my RSS reader up to not show me anything if AI is mentioned. It turns out that I haven’t been able to do that because it couldn’t discern “AI” from “fair”, “pair”, “air” etc. but the sentiment was there because I’m sick of hearing about it, and I imagine a lot of people are. This could cause readers or whatever else is configured to block AI content to block the non-ai content too, just because it’s mentioned. Additionally it does bring AI to the forefront, which doesn’t help with that AI fatigue.

I saw the other thread and decided not to comment because there the conversation was looking pretty contentious, and I didn’t want to put a target on my back, but as somebody who almost exclusively posts about my project on Lemmy, I thought that this might be a good opportunity to explain myself.

Due to my project being FOSS, I’m thankful that this 10% rule doesn’t apply to me right now because I really don’t think I could provide anything useful by spouting my opinions. I do look at questions to see if there’s anything I can answer but the community is already great at that and most have more experience and knowledge of hosting infrastructure etc. I don’t feel that I have a great deal of insight into what makes for a good self hosting setup, but I have a passion for writing open source software that can be self hosted, and this is the way that I feel I can contribute something meaningful.

I feel that when I post about my project, I am contributing. I’m telling you that it exists, it’s free and you’re welcome to try or leave it. I do try to keep it relevant so as not to hit anyone over the head with it, and I’ve put the detailed posts into their own community. Nobody is going to find out that some of these self hosted applications exist if they aren’t told about them.

Dark mode, view current location, anonymous likes

I love that Habitat releases automatically get a mention here now! But just to set the record straight: there is no “anonymous likes” functionality, this will be referring to the change in which you now see a message encouraging you to log in or create an account when attempting to “like” a post. Who knew people actually read the changelog! I’ll be more careful with the wording in there going forward.

From the documentation page:

The inference-scale runtime substrate — resonance mesh routing, Chorus Field participation, agent federation, and protocol-run orchestration — runs on an experimental devnet. Metrics and counters on experimental surfaces may combine live process data with stub or simulated fields.

Are these the forty-one manestically placed grouting brushes that were arranged to feed into the rotor slip stream a mixture of high S-value phenyhydrobenzamine and 5 percent reminative tetraiodohexamine?

Hey, I’m just guessing here because I haven’t used Caddy in Docker directly, but I do manage a project that uses FrankenPHP, which is essentially a wrapper for Caddy as I understand it, and I’ve had a problem that looks similar to this.

Caddy will attempt to generate an SSL certificate, and if you are using a reverse proxy, depending on how it’s configured, it will internally attempt to fulfil that certificate generation over port 443, which will fail, because it doesn’t have a configured SSL certificate. It’s the old catch-22!

The solution I have found is to temporarily internally serve your environment over port 80 for external SSL connections. This will allow Caddy to retrieve an SSL certificate and put it in place. After this, you should then be able to switch back over to port 443 for SSL connections internally, and it’ll use the certificate.

Once again – this is just a guess, and I don’t know the exact criteria in getting this going in Caddy, but it might be worth a try. In my FrankenPHP project at least, it was a matter of setting the SERVER_NAME variable to http://${DOMAIN}:80

It is indeed mine. Yeah I imagine all you’d want is a Signal group or something in a tiny community like that. Cheers!

Can I interest you in trying Habitat for your local community?

✅ Homophobic slur in the screenshot

✅ md5 checksum used to store IP address of “anonymous” posts

✅ Choose your own adventure ID generation

✅ Hardcoded admin credentials

✅ Optional CSRF protection

✅ JSON everything!

✅ All CSS, JS, PHP and HTML in one file

✅ “The server stores ciphertext and nothing else” - I beg your pardon?

Discord had better watch out!

Thanks for this. Regarding your point on on making people care, I’ve just written up a post that touches on this: https://feddit.uk/post/45292700

Federation is not yet built in, but I have a plan. There are some details here: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-network/#connecting-instances

What features are you thinking? To put a price on a post/mark as sold etc?

Yes, this is a good point! I don’t necessarily want to slow one Habitat down when waiting for the response of another. It could lock up other requests. If it’s possible to send the user the url to retrieve posts with frontend javascript, that may definitely be worth looking into. It sounds like an XSS minefield though, but it could very well be the way to go.

Thanks for this.

Activity Pub doesn’t take advantage of the unique solution we have by knowing the user’s location and the location of instances. In a way, it seems overkill for what we want. Additionally, I don’t necessarily want other software communicating with Habitat. You never know, I might change my mind as I delve into it. I changed my mind on a great number of things as I came to develop them for phase 1. I accept that there are things about existing protocols that I don’t fully understand.

Ah I see. No, no specialised type of post for events, date based information, invite systems, or anything like that. I can see why that would be good though so I’ll give it some thought.

:D This is great news for everyone except for the creature.
