A mí siempre me ha parecido que el aprendizaje tiene un coste. Que el remedio fantabuloso que te da todo sin esfuerzo era una estafa, y yo no soy un ejemplo, que tomo atajos siempre que no me interesa algo, pero aún así hay algo más en usar cerebro y cuerpo al mismo tiempo que lo mejora todo.

Escribí uno de los nombres de Dios en un pedazo de papel, se lo metí en la boca y vivió. Durante 35 años caminó ocupando mi lugar, viviendo una existencia falsa, usando mi aliento.
Cierto día ya no pude soportar la asfixia y necesité morir o recuperar mi respiración. En un momento de fuerza, borre el aleph de su cabeza, y este se desplomó. No murió tal y como mandaba la frase en su frente, porque en realidad nunca estuvo vivo.
No me había dado cuenta de cuánto barro había acumulado a lo largo de los años. Qué profunda era la vergüenza, qué pesados eran los trozos de lodo seco. Mis manos, ahora heridas y sangrantes tras desmenuzar mi golem, finalmente encontraron el pedazo de papel, largamente olvidado.
Y entonces vi que el nombre que había escrito era el mío propio.
Hey @ThePSF, this sucks and does not reflect the values of the Python community. We can't stop blockchain shitheads from using Python, but we can definitely avoid featuring them as paragons of our community. Delete this and apologize.

My current conspiracy theory: Now that #letsencrypt has more or less destroyed the market for domain certificates and people are more interested in using client/user certificate, Google throws the market a lifeline by removing clientAuth from acceptable certificates in the browser context with some vague "it's about security" arm waving. #NerdTalk

Estas últimas semanas, al hablar de artistas como Suzi Quatro o Siouxsie Sioux, me he acordado un dato curioso sobre pioneras olvidadas.
Y es que nadie recuerda que el primer grupo 100% femenino de España fueron de Granada.
Así que hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Las Amazonas.

Because the first step toward freedom is always the same: admitting you might be wearing chains.Can't be said clearer.
Ever heard of vibe coding?
It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.
I’ve seen it happen.
AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.
Nobody understood it.
We’re trading skill for speed.
And that’s how we lose our freedom.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again:
Part of your job as a senior is to tell your juniors about your fuckups. The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.
Happy Pride Month, especially from performative corporations everywhere.

LinkGaslighting? - For several months now I’ve continued my project where every day I go back through my archives and clean up broken links in old posts. If something is broken and I can find it in the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/), I replace the link. Lately I’m noticing something new and insidious. Of course there’s a lot of linkrot, where stuff is just gone. (In my archives, Yahoo News and Make’s Craftzine are the two biggest offenders.) Then there’s stuff that’s gone, but the domain has been repurposed by someone else. Sometimes it’s obvious (porn and gambling ahoy!) and other times they create a plausible looking site filled with SEO glurge. And then there’s this third dark pattern I don’t even have a name for yet, where the same entity is still in control of the domain and the link goes to a plausible looking URL, but it’s NOT the page I linked to originally.
Here’s an example. In 2001 I wrote a post (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/554) about Jenna Bush, saying I sympathised with her and that she was just acting like a college student. In it, I linked to a Salon.com article (http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2001/05/30/jenna_bush/index.html) about her. If you follow that link now, you are silently redirected to an article about her beliefs about safe sex (https://www.salon.com/2007/09/25/jenna_bush/). If you don’t look closely, you might miss the fact that the safe sex article is from 2007. If you go to the Wayback Machine, you’ll see that the actual article I linked to was about her buying booze (https://web.archive.org/web/20010605091134/http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2001/05/30/jenna_bush/index.html). I’ve now found several other Salon.com links to that redirect to posts about the same general topic of the post, but aren’t the actual one I linked to.
Another example. In 2013 I linked to (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/11354) a Serious Eats recipe for “tobacco cookies” (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/05/tobacco-cookies-recipe.html). If you click that link now, you’re redirected to a recipe for Chocolate Dipped Tuile “Cigarettes” (https://www.seriouseats.com/chocolate-dipped-tuile-cigarettes-cookies-recipe). That one gave me pause. Is that what I originally linked to? If that’s what the recipe is called, why did I call it something else? Here’s the Wayback Machine to the rescue again, confirming that there really used to be a recipe for tobacco cookies (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/05/tobacco-cookies-recipe.html). WTF.
I’m not clear on why or how this is happening. Maybe some sort of custom 404 logic that picks out a keyword and sends you to a likely recent link? It’s infuriating though that they don’t give you any warning that it might not be the page you’re looking for. It makes finding broken links that much harder, because they’re actively trying to gaslight me. Links are a contract and a promise. Silently redirecting https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/77747

some kind of magical identifier?When I was a child I didn’t know who I was. I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote אמת, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didn’t understand.
I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.
One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.
I didn’t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.
I see the name I wrote was my own.

Back in 2007, I was the one who packed their things and left. I left a home, 15+ years of shared work, a dog, a cat, and a boy (well, I didn't really literaly left the boy behind, of course, he's still a part of my life). It was painful, but it also looked like a new open threshold. I want to think that I left with respect for the other part, though not everybody agrees. At least, I was sincere to myself, as my life needed a new path. Not everybody understood why I took my decision but I had no other option.
You've probably heard that life goes on and most changes are for the best and what not. I won't repeat that.
I just wish you the best for this new, unfathomable, life. Your friends and other people that loves you are there.

I used to think ChatGPT was a threat to lawyers. So far, it's been great.
I'm dealing with an opposing party who's clearly using it to answer pre-litigation emails. They're very arrogantly giving me 100% wrong legal takes to justify their actions - and all in writing!
Easiest case ever. And fun!

In other words, a stopped clock is always wrong.
It doesn't matter that it will coincidentally display the correct time twice per day. That coincidence doesn't have any connection to a clock's function as a tool. It's not doing the thing you think clocks do. It's not right about the time any more than a photo of a clock is. Or a description of a clock in a book. A stopped clock isn't a time keeping device. It's something else, that's merely shaped like a time keeping device.
LLMs aren't thinking. They aren't learning, understanding, or remembering. They're doing something else, that is merely shaped like thinking. They are a stopped clock, and they are always wrong.
@tux0r @samurro it is. But I can't force people to perform updates on their machines.
To be honest, this is totally protected from the lan. The only reacheable port is the 8007 (Proxmox Backup Server). btrfs performs snapshots of all the file systems at regular intervals.
While it's not great, the threat level of this (secondary) backup server is quite low.
@arosano @4somecurious Users are deleting tons of files by mistakes. I think there's a problem - I'd replace the file server with a Samba server, zfs snapshot each hour and so, but they insist on using Windows for this, so...
@pkw copy the url of the post, put it in the search bar in your snac, it will load and you can interact with it.
Bane of the javascriptless:
Getting around anubis'd websites in (not just) links2.
If you enable the "Fake Firefox (improves privacy)" option in links2 (Setup - Network Options - HTTP options - Header options), links2 then pretends to be the tor browser, imitating the same headers and user-agent - this results in websites that use anubis to bully you and expecting the completion of some javascript challenge. If you do not enable this option, you can get around the annoying anime girl.
Presumably you could use the links2 user-agent in any other browser. I suppose this is true for lynx as well.
> Links (2.28; NetBSD 9.3 amd64; GNU C 7.5; text)
You can also use wget's user-agent, which currently lets you get past anubis as well.
> Wget/1.25.0
You can check what headers your browser is sending at https://wtfismyip.com/headers .
...
To try this in firefox - go to about:config, add `general.useragent.override' and paste in the links2 user-agent string.

Even though I eventually edited the article to clarify that there was no organized crime involved, many comments keep insisting that, since it happened in Italy, there must be organized crime or the mafia behind it.I understand that the oversimplification "it happens in Italy, so it has to be the mafia" sounds a bit insulting, but maybe the mystery-craving in us recognize a pattern so much read and seen in movies. Your brilliant phrase "And of course, I’ve left out the worst parts of the story" also add a lot of neo-noir vibes to the story 😀
Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis
Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?
She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a temporary' detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps.
She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn't realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn't handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn't care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.
And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.
Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State's detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A.
Single. Difference.
So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y'all can shut the fuck up with that "stop making concentration camp comparisons, you're diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust" bullshit.
Its also worth noting that her family TRIED to flee to the US and was denied. She was in that camp partly because the US refused to let her refugee family immigrate.
My workflow matches yours totally, though.
And of course, I’ve left out the worst parts of the story.This is tragic and frightening. What a story.
I no longer work professionally on IT, so my opinion is irrelevant here.
I even had a (known unreliable and crash-prone) RAID 6 configuration using 4 USB thumb drives that had a long life of continuous mp3 transcoding. Finally, the USB hub died, and then I decomissioned the ugly monster (it was mostly for testing).
Maybe I'm lucky (I'm not).
ZFS [...] on one hand, I saw it as a "betrayal" of the Unix philosophy, something foreign within the base systemWhile undeniably fantastic, I've also had this problem with ZFS: its architecture and terminology have always sounded too alien for the old UNIX whitebeard in me.
I've watched this several times and laughed harder each time.
Have no idea what either is saying but it's hilarious!
