This is the kind of AI stuff that really annoys me. Looking at one of the mutation examples I didn’t see anything that wouldn’t normally be tested by a typical mutation tool. You took a simple, idempotent process and you got an llm to do it slower, less accurately, and using more resources.

If you wanted to marry the two in a new and possibly useful fashion I would say use an llm to analyze the results of a standard mutation test and give guidance on what issues should be acted upon first. An off-by-one calculation could mean somebody loses a million dollars or it could mean a button is grayed out. Standard mutation tools don’t give you that context.

Other than the low chance of you being targeted I would say only expose your services through something like Wireguard. Other than the port being open attackers won’t know what it’s for. Wireguard doesn’t respond if you don’t immediately authenticate.

There’s a little overlap with things like Terraform but it’s not as bad as if they bought the companies that owned Chef or Puppet.

Can’t believe that’s gone through. They took JBoss when they bought RedHat so now it doesn’t have to compete with Websphere and when they bought HashiCorp Openshift doesn’t have to compete with Nomad. At this rate they’ll buy CyberArk and then that’s no more competition with Vault.

Who needs strength when you can just bite and outrun anyone?

Yup. That was the one. Quite sad, but possibly the native system throttles to improve battery.

Don’t know if it applies here but I saw a video where the native version of Minecraft ran slower than the emulated version… on a Switch!

I kind of hate how you can not only nope out of nearly every puzzle with lockpicking but rogues get like half a dozen bonuses during the skill check so why are you even rolling the damn dice?

If OP has a thrift store nearby it’s pretty likely they can get both for under $30.

I got a lot of use out of Google Translate for text.

Not sure if you want to label it as a “captcha alternative”. In most cases I’m sure the captcha is used because they want a real person looking at the page (and the ads on the page). In this case it seems more like a way to keep either bots or people from doing nothing but consuming content (or hacking) without giving back something of value. Either way I really like the idea.

Other ways, in theory, I think you could do this kind of thing are torrent ratios (e.g. hosting one or moreLinux ISOs), general archiving (e.g. you get asked to return a random range of bytes from a file you’re supposed to be backing up), you run a weather station that reports temperature to the National Weather Service. You might think about a more general framework for just verifying if user X has been contributing something of value.

This. Sucks we can’t just say shit like it is but it’s just as easy to make it up. I’m not going to verify the claims myself but if OP said it was Vandelay Industries I might make the decision to not do business with them.

It’s a little late now since the accusation has already been made but it’s essentially legal to state verifiable facts without drawing conclusions from those facts. Still, doesn’t mean the company won’t come after you, just that they risk calling attention to the issue. Unfortunately I know of no remedy or repercussions for a company filing a baseless lawsuit.

IANAL BTW.

Surely AI makes them so efficient they’re free to spend more time organizing a union right? /s

This is utterly disgusting. I feel like Leeloo in The Fifth Element learning about War for the first time.

While explaining BTRFS I’ve seen ChatGPT contradict itself in the middle of a paragraph. Then when I call it out it apologizes and then contradicts itself again with slightly different verbiage.

DebOps my dude.

In a similar situation. I was using Open Media Vault but it has some networking bug that I just can’t nail down or work around. I have to manually fix the networking every time it breaks. Otherwise I barely used OMV features and did most things through Docker. I’ll be switching to Diet Pi and probably Ansible unless I feel like learning Puppet.

Okay, finally ran into a conflict that I noticed. Wonder how many passwords I’ve lost throughout the years. I got back the account that was swallowed but I’d much prefer this didn’t happen in the first place. Other than making it a habit to sync (with syncthing) before editing a database it doesn’t seem like there’s a built-in solution for this. The problem is that keypass always performs a two-way sync (sync two files, modify two files). Guess I’ll see how hard it would be to make a one-way sync plugin or if some other variant does one-way.

Gotta throw in goth Minthara.
