I was going to say. The fediverse isn’t an echo chamber. It’s a series of echo chambers, some of which even talk to eachother. :P

r00ty@kbin.lifeto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I want a community to exist like 4chan greentext here8·4 days agoAha, I see. So you mean there should be a community for anonymous posts. I think it’s not inherently supported with ActivityPub. But I guess someone could create a bot that all posts went through. However for very obvious reasons the community would need to be moderated VERY efficiently.

Or is it too early and a joke went over my head?

Wireguard vpn into my home router. Works on android so fire sticks etc can run the client.

Phone is Samsung s24 ultra.
r00ty@kbin.lifeto Technology@lemmy.world•You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning21·12 days agoGemini is an app, I disabled that. I also shut off the key press and there’s some other places you can turn off some of the automatic AI features, and also there’s a setting to disable the “online” AI in general.
But that’s why in another comment I said, I am still not sure I turned it all off (or even if it is possible to).
r00ty@kbin.lifeto Technology@lemmy.world•You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning5·12 days agoDoesn’t the motorola phone have a settings screen for defining what the button does? For Samsung they like to re-purpose the power button.
First of all, it brought up bixby. I turned it back to powering off the phone and disabled bixby.
Then, with the new update they re-assigned the power button to gemini. So, I turned it back to powering off the phone and disabled gemini too.
However, the problem these days is that I’m never completely sure I’ve turned off all of the AI nonsense on my phone.
r00ty@kbin.lifeto Technology@lemmy.world•You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning66·12 days agoPretty sure I disabled Gemini as one of the first things I did when I got my phone. But, yes when I read that, to me it did seem like a serious overreach for something that was going to be “on by default” for most users.
Should it, or should it be “1”? (just removing one, one)
They send fake (non-existing) actor ids for votes to obfuscate the identity of the real user. It is “compliant”, but completely against the spirit of a public social network.
There have been discussions about how to implement this before. But it has to be done in a way that is agreed by other threadiverse software. Unless they actually provide profiles for these fake actors there will be problems since some software will look up the profile info to cache it, even for likes…
Personally I’m of the opinion of a standard header to mark a favourite message as a private one and use a random ID that the originating instance can use to validate the message as genuine. But, this needs to be adopted properly by all.

Yeah but if you tick TCP and pay the extra postage you can get proof of receipt.
Actually how is your ISP giving out IPs to you? Mine uses IPv6 PD to give me a /48. And I then use SLAAC locally on the first /64 prefix on my LAN. Plus another /64 for VPN connections.
If you mean receiving RA/ND packets from your ISP (which are used to announce IPv6 prefixes) then you need to allow icmpv6 packets (if you don’t want to be able to be pinged, just block echo requests, ICMP in v4 and v6 carry important messages otherwise).
If your ISP uses DHCPv6 Prefix delegation you will need to allow packets to UDP port 546 and run a DHCPv6 client capable of handling PD messages.
If you have a fixed prefix, then you probably don’t need to use your ISPs SLAAC at all. You could just put your router on a fixed IP as <yourprefix>::1 and then have your router create RA/ND packets (radvd package in linux, not sure what it would be on pfsense) and assign IPs within your network that way.
If you have a dynamic prefix… It’s a problem I guess. But probably someone has done it and a google search will turn up how they handled it.
EDIT: Just clarified that the RA/ND packets advertise prefixes, not assign addresses.
I believe the privacy concerns are made moot if all consumer level routers by default blocked incoming untracked connections and you need to poke holes in the firewall for the ports you need.
Having said that, even knowing the prefix it’s a huge address space to port scan through. So it’s pretty secure too with privacy extensions enabled.
But for sure the onus is on the router makers for now.
I used HE for ages until my isp gave native ipv6. I also used sixxs back then too. Both provided good connectivity for the few sites that were around using it at the time.
This is my biggest bugbear about a lot of UK isps. They are dynamically allocating ipv6 prefixes for absolutely no good reason.
I’ve only ever done ipv6 using Linux directly as a firewall or a mikrotik router. So cannot help with pfsense I’m afraid.
You start by adding ipv6 and serving both. One side needs to move first. Content providers or isps.
The big tech companies are using ipv6. In the UK the isps are mostly offering it too.
Host both and help us move towards dropping Ipv4 some day. It’s not going to happen in a day.
Whenever anyone asks if I use AI. My answer is that, so far it hasn’t ever delivered working code. However the majority of times I used it, the code it did provide sent me in the right direction.
So it’s not useless. And I know tools have gotten better. But when I see companies seriously talking “AI first” and wanting vibe coding to be a main development strategy. I do really worry.
This is my assumption too. It’s disabled for me. I have no plans to change that.
