It won't though. It will at best slow down. It will take a decade to just reverse the trend, if we are lucky enough to get administration or two who have their heads screwed in the right way. Who knows wether it will ever get back to a level before Trump 1. Better adapt to the new normal 🫣 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…7mvn If this projection was invented today, everybody would say it's AI slopp 🫣 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Hello Fedi! My employer went through my #PostCovid time with me. Now that I'm back to work full time, they suddenly decided to let me go. 🤷♀️ I'm a #pentester with 5 years of experience in the field, before that 3 years of software dev in the #infosec field as well. Got a Bsc. in Computer Sience with emphasis on infosec and networke systems. In my #homelab I'm selfhosting on #proxmox and #k8s. I've been daily driving #linux for the past 20 years, first #gentoo, then #fedora. I'm pretty good with it, but no certs. I'm looking to continue in #offensivesecurity, but would be happy to pivot into infra/network or any other adventure given it's interessting or a good cause. Happy to invest in my skillset. Hybrid in north-eastern #Switzerland fully remote anywhere else. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…myvq I recently re-read Red Mars and Green Mars and as usual lost the plot at the start of Blue Mars. I wondered a similar thing, but of course, as an amab person it's hard to really form a quality opinion. What do you think about the women and female POV writing in the Mars trilogy? npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…0lsg I get that the British state doesn't exactly own the moral high ground when it comes to telling other nations they can't just colonize willy nilly, and displace people how ever they please. But come on! You could at least pretend not to turn a blind eye? npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…x0fp I was thinking of something else. But let's stay with teeth 😬 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath #youtube #algorithm is strange. I watched a few videos by some #trans creators and now YT seems to think I'm an #egg and bombards me with videos like "How you your #transgender " etc. I'm definitely not #cisgender , but I'm probably also not trans ... npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…d27p Der Chaos Communication Congress hat ein tolles Program für junge Hacker*innen. Evtl findest du da Inspiration/Material, wenn du dir das Programm von vergangen Events anschaust. Oder ihr geht Ende Jahr direkt hin. 🙂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…eyd0 Die Schweizerische Post gibt sogar ein Zeitfester an. Dieses stimmt aber meistens überhaupt nicht und die Lieferung scheint sich zu 90% daran auszurichten, wann gerade unter der Dusche bin oder auf dem Topf sitze. 😬 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…6urt this actually looksl kind of cool 🙂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath There's a #brassmusic event in my town today. The #brassband move from spot to spot arround town and play some pieces. One of them has a #starwars theme going. I've been hearing the #cantinaband theme and #imperialmarch from different directions all day 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath #youtube ... really? Even the text kind of matches up horribly. I didn't know that #socialmedia #algorithm have the humour of a 13-year-old. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…9kzz I agree, I found the movie to be mostly eyecandy. I really enjoyed the book though. My French teacher put it on the reading list, but I cheated, I got the German translation 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath The #techbros : "#europe is behinde in #tech because it's over-regulatede" npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…5lc3 This is total speculation, but I wouldn't put it past the AI techbros to pay some students to write some BS papers. 🤷 It's enough to have some papers out there you can cherry pick. They don't have to be valid, good, or peer reviewed. The revocation process for academic papers is even less effective than the one for TLS certs 😂 Most people outside academia just see that someone cites a paper and assumes the facts are good. If you are lucky someone checks wheter the paper actually exist. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…36ma was or is your husband praticing martial arts? He moves on the ground like it's thought in Judo and Jiu Jitsu. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Aparently #microsoft patched a serious #vulnerability by creating a folder in the #windows root dir and telling users not to delete it. They won't or can't tell why. Another piece of evidence that MS actually has no clue any longer how their steaming heap of crap even actually works. We've arived in #warhammer40k. We now use npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath #portswigger has released some #ai thingy for #burpsuite. I doesn't do anything on it's own, but the feature is on by default. If you go to the settings to disable it they ask you for feedback why you turn that crap off. Isn't that obvious? No matter the pinky promiss you make to your customers, that you don't store the data or train on it, as soon as you hand it of to an #LLM company we have no idea what happens. AI and customer data don't mix. End. Of. Story. #infosec #security npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…zuzz @nprofile…kkxq or the Nazi definition of a Jew and the whole Jodeo-Bolshevism conspiracy theory. If it wasn't tragic and infuriating it would be boring. 🫣 Same all over. Just different words and different faces. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Have you ever notice how there's always more and more #computer in the #technouogy things surrounding us, but many of them utterly fail at being actually calculation machines? My favourite among all of these is when you want set your #dishwasher or #washingmachine to finish or start at a certain time. Some of the damn things even connect to the internet, but they can't figure out when to start if you want your washing to be done before 7 so you can put in the dryer before you leave for work 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…dyep haha I'm way too distracted by the AI generated nightmare of a rocket in the image 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath I've posted before on how " #ai " is socially unsustainable before. I just realized that it's even worse than these companies stealing our collective knowledge and selling it back to us for a price. They also control what we get back. The owner of the modle controls what it tells its users. Our "personal" #llm based assistants only serve one mastet and it's not us #consumer I can tell you that much. #capitalism #consumerism npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath I'm slowly clawing back my life and functionality from #LongCovid . For the third time now. I hope this is the last time. I haven't been #cooking a lot for a long time now. Maybe one meal every two weeks. Today I made two big pots of pasta sauce (vegan bolognese and napoli) and for my partners #boardgames event. I'm so happy and proud of myself 🤩 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Playing another "whipe out the galaxy as a machine intelligence" run in #stellaris. Just because it's topical at the moment #AI Wanted to take out a Fallen Empire early, and right as I approach their borders with they turn into a awakend empire. Decide to go flatten the other one then. After I've taken their first system, the Unbidden decide to make their entrance AND the rest of the galaxy declares me a crisis. I'm so lucky I didn't play on Grand Admiral 😂 #gaming #scifi #videogames npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Things that happen to you when people think you are "good with #computers " NR. 137: npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath #hottake #humaniod #robots are a nonsense idea. Why would we build a #robot that is a #technology recreation of our own limited form, when we can build what ever we want suited to the environment and task. It seems to me that a box on wheeles/feet/tracks with the right manipulators on board will just be more efficient in 98% of cases. #robotics #human npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Sometimes I get a bit of #fomo when I look at the fancy new #raytracing #technology in #nividia #gpu . Then they start a new dumpster fire and I'm quite happy that I didn't spend an insane amount of money on a fire hazard. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…d2rl I'm living under a rock here. If I understand you correctly, people just started spreading nonesens about Suckerberg in protest of him rolling over for the orange muppet? That's absolutely hilarious and brilliant! npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…8wcz Interesting! I'm on zink, magnesium, vitD and selenium suplements. When I drop the magnesium and selenium I get cramps all over my body. I'll try some of these others as well 🙂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…d27p Im Notfall ist eine Tagesaktuelle Version also entweder auf Hetzner oder in meinem Serverkabinett verfügbar oder eine ein bis zwei Monate alte Sicherheitskopie im Tresor bei meinen Eltern. Ich nutze Nextcloud als Fileshare, eigentlich sollte auch immer eine lokale Kopie existieren. Plus, ich Hoste meine Passwörter nicht selbst, dafür habe ich Bitwarden. Das macht vieles einfacher, zu lange Liste für einen Toot. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…d27p Meine Backups sind so gemacht, dass sie einfach zugänglich sind. Das nächtliche Backup auf meine externe Festplatte und auf meine Hetzner Storage Box sind so simpel wie möglich. Die Platte rotiere ich regelmässige zu einem kleinen Tresor bei meinen Eltern. Dieser enthält auch Instruktionen und Zugangsdaten, plus den Ersatzschlüssel für einen identischen Tresor in meiner Wohnung. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…d27p Ein genaus Datum ist nie bekannt. Meistens irgendwann in Q4. Wird jeweils auf dem Event Blog angekündigt. Am besten als RSS abonnieren 🙂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…8wcz interessting thoughts. What worries me the most in the here and now is that informed concent has left the picture long ago for the average computet user. Most none-techies are as much slaves to the design and business decisions of vendors as the machines are. Most consumer software even goes so fare as to do what it assumes I want it to do, not what I actually instructed it to do. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…7zfl @nprofile…z22s This way round it's just confusing. I turned my phone upside down and it turned from confusing into fing creepy! 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…z22s Yes, it's absolutely stupid that you get the better customer experience comapred to what you get when you actually pay for your media. Both my parents and my partner were all pleased and surprised with the media experience through my Jellyfin server, compared to a BR disc. I don't pirate, but it's still stupid, that I have to put in the work to remove all the unnecessary clutter 😩 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…ffgk Why do you have insurance if there's is a 1/3 chance it's like you have no insurance? That's more like gambling. WTF? npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…8wcz hell yeah! F businesses casual, if you can rock something awesome like this! npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…6urt I love how kids can go totally 180 because of small things like this. My friends 8 month old bumped their head on a chair leg and was gearing up for a grade A crying fit. I just handed them my glasses (they absolutely love to play with my glasses atm) and they totally forgot about wanting to cry a whole lot. 😂 npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…vklh Well, tbf. the current state of secure boot in Linux can be kind of pointless, yes. Often only a signed shim is loaded so it's not a true measured boot. In a real secure boot system, every step in the boot chain is signed and integrity checked. There are distros who do that, but boy are you having fun as soon as you need to load any out-of-tree modules like vmware, zfs, amdpro or nvidia drivers. npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath @nprofile…6urt Totally forgot about Lilo and Stitch. I remember I liked it as a kid, but of course I was too young to consciously (thank you auto complete to find the correct spalling for that monster of a word) grapple with it's message. Might be worth a rewatch. 🙂👽️ npub1nrqmjlp802lp9s5wda56f6an8dx556x33kqn7gvmr2fkyv6cf6vqkkls3c Gilgwath Cielo is demanding his pound of meat 😁 #catsofmastodon #caturday
