This is especially necessary to consider if you live in the US right now. One of the things the current administration is pushing for even harder than past administrations is removal of Section 230 of the communications act that was enacted in the 90s. This provides a defense against liability for the content you host as long as you make a reasonable effort to remove content that is illegal. Problem is that this makes it really difficult to censor (maliciously or otherwise) content because it’s hard to go after the poster of the content and easier to go after the host or for the host to be under threat to stop it from being posted in the first place. But it’s a totally unreasonable thing, so it basically would mean every website would have to screen every piece of content manually with a legal team and thus would mean user generates content would go away because it would be extremely expensive to implement (to the chagrin of the broadcast content industries).

The DMCA created way for censors to file a complaint and have content taken down immediately before review, but that means the censors have to do a lot of work to implement it, so they’ve continued to push for total elimination of Section 230. Since it’s a problematic thing for fascism, the current administration has also been working hard to build a case so the current biased supreme court can remove it since legislation is unlikely to get through since those people have to get reelected whereas supreme court justices don’t care about their reputation.

So, check your local laws and if in the US, keep an eye on Section 230 news as well as making sure you have a proper way to handle DMCA takedown notices.

Are there any guides to using it with reverse proxies like traefik? I’ve been wanting to try it out but haven’t had time to do the research yet.

Problem is that unless the person was paid for contributing, what goods or services are being exchanged with the project. I mean if Microsoft received money from that person for a subscription or something I might see them having to ban the user and refund the money. But what did the project receive that would violate sanctions? Volunteer work is usually not covered or else relief organizations and religious missionaries would be banned and the US historically loves sending those. What am I missing?

That’s just late-capitalism in general. No large companies are innovating anymore. They simply let smaller companies pop up and then either buy it or kill them with legal or market dominance based maneuvers. I mean if all that mattered to you was short term profit, would you take any risks? Easier to destroy than create of that’s all you care about.

That’s going to always happen when training data with the entire internet. The outliers will always skew thing more than the mainstream if the models are not designed to exclude them.

And there are a lot of contributing factors, for example with right leaning stuff being more available for LLMs to process as the platforms are generally less concerned about privacy and more concerned about policing and control (that’s just what right wing is), of course the models are going to see more of it than the left leaning stuff where people are more on the repressed side, more likely to use more private communication methods, and less likely to be able to safely, publicly share outlier kinds of views to skew things the other way. Even the people who pretend to be extreme left-wing, like the USSR or the Chinese Communist Party, are usually, in reality, right-wing.

Yes it’s defects in the ingress-nginx controller package.

Yeah definitely makes sense to me in stomach and vagina and similar areas. Just wasn’t sure if in was missing something on the face. Maybe in combination with something that was probiotic I guess, but I don’t see any of that. So prebiotic without probiotic treatment seems risky.

Depends on what you’re backing up. Is it configs for applications, images, video, etc? If it’s application configs, you can set up those applications in a virtual machine and have a process run that starts the machine, restores the configs, and makes sure the applications start or whatever other tests you want. There are applications for doing that.

If it’s images or videos, you can create a script to randomly pick a few, restore them, and check the integrity of the files. Usually just a check of the file header (first few bytes of the file) will tell you if it’s an image or video type of file and maybe a check on the file size to make sure it’s not an unreasonably small size, like a video that’s only 100 bytes or something.

All this seems like overkill though in most scenarios.

I’ll take one. Feel free to DM me.

No country has a significantly larger population than any other. The difference is only how out they are and thus how easy it is to find out they are LGBTQ+. Countries that allow trans people to use their actual gender on their travel documents, for example, are more likely to be detained or deported as the US no longer recognizes actual gender as a valid identifying trait for travel document purposes. It must list a marker for genitals at birth or genitals chosen by the parent at birth for intersex people. And those with X or similar non-binary markers may not be accepted at all since that’s not a recognized valid marker in the US anymore. And it’s difficult to prove that your genitals at birth were what they are now and the same as your gender marker on your passport. Genitals at birth is not an identifying trait for an adult, but that’s what the US expects. Gender is barely an identifying trait, but is slightly more relevant in some cases at least than how you looked as a baby. So if the marker doesn’t match their expectation, then they could consider that as being deceptive based on your appearance or behavior and thus reason to deny entry or detain or deport. And being detained in a for profit US immigration prison could result in abuse and death. Especially for trans people put in the wrong gender section of a prison.

If you want to keep your LDAP as the source of truth, then Keycloak is also a very good option. I did that originally, but decided I only had a couple of things needing LDAP and that wasn’t worth keeping it around. Authentik was a good way to emulate an LDAP but with a different back end. But Keycloak is definitely my recommendation in your case.

Keycloak. Took me a bit to learn the basics, but it has been way easier to troubleshoot than Authentik and has more features. If you need something that mimics LDAP rather than syncing with an existing LDAP, then Authentik is pretty good. I don’t use LDAP, though.

With lots of free condoms this time…and so hopefully less AIDS.

Sounds like basically a faith-oriented streaming platform that does discriminate against certain content is marketing themselves by saying that they are better than YouTube TV because YouTube discriminates and using this as a way to say that the government is even “investigating” YouTube’s discrimination to prove their point even though they were the ones who triggered the “investigation”. Good marketing if you have a niche audience obsessed with discriminating and pretending they’re the ones being discriminated against because people don’t like their discrimination.

It brought in 120 people, many of whom wouldn’t have otherwise come. Probably made some good donation money out of it and got some publicity for the church.

I mean dihydrogen monoxide can cause permanent injury or death if irresponsibly used. Let’s get that on the list next!

I use Arthurian legend related stuff. Servers and desktops are locations. My portable devices are the names of swords. IoT devices are more explicitly descriptive since I won’t need to type in, but it’s more important to recognize them when I see them, like lightswitch-livingroom.

Yeah the push to objectify performance in education so that legislation can cut funding to what they consider underperforming, has made it something that needs to be gamed to prevent schools from losing funding since often the reason they’re underperforming is that the students and their families that they cater to have attended underfunded schools their whole lives. Giving fewer resources to those who never had any, on purpose, is classism. So if students are judged based on how well they do menial tasks and standardized tests, then it’s much easier to cheat. It’s not like they’re learning anything from those anyway so they don’t see any value in trying. And teachers have too many students to pay enough attention to actually teaching especially when now their primary job is making sure the school doesn’t lose funding.

I mean 1 mile is still a 20 min walk or so. A bus can cover it in a couple of minutes and you won’t be exhausted, especially if carrying a heavy bag of books, it’s uphill, it’s raining, it’s snowing, it’s exceptionally hot, there are no sidewalks, you have to detour significantly to cross a body of water, highway, or other hazard, you have a mobility impairment, or you just don’t want to waste 40 minutes of your day walking when you could jump on a bus and spend that time doing other things. Now if it’s a choice of waiting for a bus that only comes every 20-30 min and walking, sure.

Problem is most of us are under personal attack, so we don’t have the ability or energy to fight for others. And since the personal attacks are of a potentially violent or otherwise life threatening nature rather than simply a political one, it means many of us can’t afford to stand up.
