The tldr bot is pulling directly from the article - it used to use ChatGPT wayy back when it was originally created, but it got expensive for the creator, so now I believe it uses some sentence interpreter library to compare relevance of paragraphs, in combination with semantic HTML tags/markup.

The code for it is on GitHub

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

There's a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks

I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.

What I'd like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I'm not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!

I saw the picture and initially thought this was a Newcommunities post about a radio controlled car community 😭 not about an ACTUAL car omg

Chuck a fiberglass walk-in bed cover on the back of that thing and you have a 12-seater bus!

Funny thing is, a Toyota Hiace bus has 17 seats, spacious interior, and is way smaller compared to this oversized thing

Steroids? They've done a complete speedrun lol

Imagine if it was a more mundane issue, let's say the air line in a carriage has blown out and none of the doors work under their own power. Roll the train into the third party workshop to carry out the fix... a copyright notice flags up on the panel screen and now you've got a long 20 ton dead brick in your workshop

Imagine this happened with cars, that would be outrageous man

With the fake parts scandal for airplanes I wonder if this should be mandatory for parts that impact public safety for public transport like trains, buses, planes and so on.

Airplanes are vastly more complex though. Four engines, flying at extremely high altitudes at hundreds of km/h, fully airtight, powerful onboard generators, food prep areas, bathroom etc, extensive ethernet networking for the small IFE units and WiFi access points, list goes on...

Whereas a train doesn't have anything close to that, even the high speed ones with all the bells and whistles, so I think it would be a bit unreasonable to expect them to be held to the same standards as an airplane.

The only train I'd suggest an exception for would be a maglev though - OEM parts only there please, especially for traction and em equipment 😳

Dont get me wrong, I want a full right to repair enshrined in law and using a system like this just to prevent it is clearly wrong, but if it could be adapted to allow for critical parts to be made under license by third parties and helped prevent fake parts then may be a small amount of good can come from this shitty practice.

Some independent validation of the manufacturing materials, their grade and assembly quality could work well here, since I'm not too sure if blindly trusting the parts manufacturers would be a great idea as long as they have profits in mind

The door. Now. 😂

In this asklemmy comm specifically?

There are two very popular asklemmy communities and they both are run differently 🤷‍♂️

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml
!asklemmy@lemmy.world

Time flies man. I remember the hype for this game back in 2014 like it was yesterday

Free real estate 😂

I'm in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.

At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven't visited there in ages!

Salty snacks, fried or baked 😁. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins

Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now

Only thing I can think of would be to spin up a new instance, subscribe to the community, and then run queries against the db directly to identify bot or troll-like behavior in the community

Previously I would have said to just browse the community from Kbin because it used to expose a lot more user activity, such as upvoted/downvoted posts/users, but I believe that's no longer visible...

Hopefully as Lemmy continues to develop, more tools become available

Missed one

If MIT AppInventor is still kicking around, you should be able to use it for this... although sadly you won't have access to the source code since it's a Scratch-like way to create apps.

By default the Android voice assistant uses Google tech AFAIK, if you're after a truly source-available solution then there's ”Futo voice input" to handle STT, and "RHVoice" to handle TTS - though these would still need a HTTP API bridge to do what you want

I think so, assuming these malicious packages are all primitive enough to just look for the single file in a user's home folder lol. The only downside here is needing to provide the keyfile location to ssh every time you want to connect... Although a system search would pretty much defeat that instantly as you mention

SSH keyfiles can be encrypted, which requires a password entry each time you connect to a SSH server. Most linux distros that I've used automatically decrypt the SSH keyfile for you when you log in to a remote machine (using the user keyring db), or ask you for the keyfile password once and remember it for the next hour or so (using the ssh-agent program in the background).

On Windows you can do something similar with Cygwin and ssh-agent, however it is a little bit of a hassle to set up. If you use WSL i'd expect the auto keyfile decryption to work comparably to Linux, without needing to configure anything

Is Tesla still training the Autopilot neural network in 3D worlds, or are they now entirely relying on driver data?

Honestly I think developers should just use push notifications to tell the app to directly fetch the notification contents from their server, rather than sending the contents of the notification using push, where it is stored by Apple/Google.

Or do what Element and Syncthing do, which is bypass that entire Google push infrastructure (FCM, formerly GCM?) and connect directly to their own ones instead - at the expense of some additional battery consumption, particularly when there's poor cell service. Due to iOS restrictions on background apps, this probably isn't possible on that platform?

Edit: add clarification

In the rural areas near where I am, gigabit fiber in underfunded areas is being installed, but sadly a vocal minority of residents keep burning up and sawing down the new fiber internet poles.

Of course we don't hear about the good news from areas where it's installed drama free, but the bad news where something goes terribly wrong is the one that sticks, and affects the general public's impressions of a particular area or stereotype 😒

Admittedly the pole installation method for this is quite odd though, maybe a cost saving measure as usually it's done underground

This only really happens when fuckcars posts show up on /all IMO, where some of the more extreme opinion holders are more vocal.

Fuck cars means fuck car dependency, i.e. places designed specifically for cars: no sidewalks, no bus, no train, no safe bicycle or light motorized assistive vehicle infrastructure available - you need a car for everything, or stay trapped at home.

It doesn't mean fuck cars literally.

It's pretty well known that rural areas, by design, require cars and motorbikes to travel out of them - a train is ideal, but good luck convincing anyone to finance that kind of project. A bicycle could work well for moving around town though depending on how safe it is, saving some wear and tear from your vehicle
