What's up with this website popping in my feed for the 6th time in less than a week ?

Edit : nevermind, after digging the website for a grand total of 5 seconds, it appears to be an advertising website for Ente (which has a paid plan besides being self hostable). That's shitty marketing from them if you ask me

When looking at the CVE itself, it seems like a bug that only gets triggered on a very specific corner case that neither the client or website alone can trigger.

Of course, it's good that it gets reported and fixed, but I'm pretty sure these kind of bugs can only get caught by people randomly stumbling on them

You've probably read about language model AIs basically being uncontrollable black boxes even to the very people who invented them.

When OpenAI wants to restrict ChatGPT from saying some stuff, they can fine tune the model to reduce the likelihood that it will output forbidden words or sentences, but this does not offer any guarantee that the model will actually stop saying forbidden things.

The only way of actually preventing such an agent from saying something is to check the output after it is generated, and not send it to the user if it triggers a content filter.

My point is that AI researchers found a way to simulate some kind of artificial brains, from which some "intelligence" emerges in a way that these same researchers are far from deeply understanding.

If we live in a simulation, my guess is that life was not manually designed by the simulation's creators, but rather that it emerged from the simulation's rules (what we Sims call physics), just like people studying the origins of life mostly hypothesize. If this is the case, the creators are probably as clueless about the inner details of our consciousness as we are about the inner details of LLMs

The steam deck does seem like a good device for "bedtime" browsing.

More seriously, this data is probably less biased toward tech literate users than most similar surveys that get published here. This is really encouraging

I've read somewhere Mullvad no longer offers port forwarding. Do you still manage to seed without it ?

I'm personally using Docker MailServer. It's been working great for over a year now, but mailu seems to have some interesting features (I'm especially interested in the admin panel)

Are you using it to seed torrents ?

[–] pcouy@lemmy.pierre-couy.fr 3 points 6 months ago

Thank you for the clarification.

I've also read that it's illegal in Switzerland to gather IP addresses because they are considered sensitive PII. Do you know about this, and does it protect me in any way if I use a swiss datacenter IP for seeding my torrents ?

This does not answer the question I asked. I've already considered a commercial VPN and I've ruled it out (clearly not cheaper, unless you can find a decent VPN with port forwarding that costs less than 2€/month)

[–] pcouy@lemmy.pierre-couy.fr 2 points 6 months ago

I've considered it and ruled it out. That's why I'm specifically asking for a VPS to install my own VPN own.

I'm really not interested in paying 5+€/month when I can build my own for a fraction of that cost

I want to use my own storage at home. I'm not gonna pay for several TB of storage on a seedbox when I already have the HDD

Thanks, I'm going to check it out
