Password manager auto-generation

unknowing8343,

What is the difference with Bitwarden? I can’t think of something missing.

unknowing8343,

It’s literally Arch Linux but with an easy bundled installer and a couple of small tools you’ll forget about.

I am using it until the archinstall script gets easier for dual-boot, encrypted BTRFS configs.

I kinda wished the EndeavourOS team made efforts to improve archinstall and simply bundled their couple extra tools as that, extra tools for easier Arch Linux usage, instead of branding it all like a new distro.

unknowing8343,

Yes! That’s the point. It’s just Arch with a GUI installer, quite literally. So, why not simply make the archinstall script better? Or simply make an installer for Arch Linux? It’s like you take your grandma’s cookies and put a sticker of your face.

unknowing8343,

Does not work for dualbooting, right?

unknowing8343,

It’s a couple of extra tools they bundle. Most of them you’ll never use.

unknowing8343,

Read the README.md.

unknowing8343,

Honestly, I generally just ask ChatGPT with very good results.

unknowing8343,

Yes, you can ask it and see. Sometimes it misses, but it’s generally easily fixable, sometimes you can even ask it to fix it.

It not only gives you the command with a handy “copy” button, but also explains why it chose each argument.

raspberry pi 4 cooling

I’m making a homeassistant sever with my raspberry pi and and i’m wondering since it’s going to be on 24/7 that the fans going to wear out much faster than intended. I can’t imagine that I would need a fan ontop of a heat sink and thermal paste it can’t get that hot? I should also note that i’m using an Argon V2...

unknowing8343,

I’ve been using this after, like you said, 2 weeks of full-time silent 3V fan, leading to a sudden increase in noise and worse performance (it essentially broke), and… damn, it cools even better now, it’s more temperature-stable, and it’s absolutely silent, while no extra power consumption is needed.

It is also true that I try to keep HAOS with as little concurrent addons as possible.

The case is really cool once set up, I love how it feels. It’s got a purpose and it’s going for it. Really feels like it was made 1000% for dissipating heat. And it works like magic.

unknowing8343,

So, I have an issue with OrganicMaps and Magic Earth: maps are too old.

Is that true or am I crazy? I make a modification in OpenStreetMap and it shows up in Osmand in a few hours, but it takes months to show up elsewhere.

Am I doing something wrong or is this expected?

unknowing8343,

You know what? I actually liked In Time. I was young, but I don’t recall anything wrong with that movie, and from what I remember the climax was really really emotional and cool… I don’t know, I might need to revisit it, but I remember I revisited it a couple of times and it was always entertaining, at least. I cared about the characters.

With Paradise, I felt like it’s just another “eye for an eye” story that I’ve seen so many times, and ultimately it was not about the concept of time as currency, but the concept of revenge, which is like… fine, okay.

unknowing8343,

Last time I tried (a few months ago), it only is easy for single-boot setups. If you want to dual boot, you have to define the BTRFS submodules yourself, manually… why?? Just give me sane defaults, please.

unknowing8343,

To be honest, I get the appeal, but I like my browser to be on the safer side, so I prefer OG Firefox, because it just works for me, and it’s got hundreds of people delivering fixes as fast as they can (at least in Arch Linux). It’s got tabs and containers, don’t need nothing more.

What can we do to keep the web open?

@asklemmy

unknowing8343,

DRM is already applied for certain content in websites such as Netflix, etc, and it makes it waaaay harder to bypass.

For example, Netflix (and the others) use DRM to block Linux computers from higher quality content. Why? I guess “hackers” and “think of the children”. Truth is… content is already pirated from the second it gets released on any of these platforms… so they are not really fixing anything… I guess they really want you to use a tracking OS.

Imagine this kind of system but for an entire website. Big companies imposing their devices and software as the only way to access a website… which is really just HTML and Javascript files, entirely platform agnostic… but who cares? They are struggling for money so they are squeezing every little possibility.

unknowing8343,

I mean, I’d love to get paid that amount of money for a few months, do barely nothing, blame my inferiors and retire with investments and a small restaurant in a friendly town.

unknowing8343,

In my experience, HA is simply a fuck-you to all those companies that want you to use their closed, cloud-based solution.

It’s not perfect, but it’s basically all we got, unless you want the crappier experience of being forced to buy only one brand of things and being forced to use really, really simple automations.

Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under...

unknowing8343,

You have not realised yet that… yes, it has all the right to be called AI. They are doing the same thing we do. Learn and then create thoughts based on those learnings.

I even asked them to make up words that are not related to any language, and they create them, entirely new, never-used words, that are not even composites of others. These are creative machines. They might fail at answering some questions, but that is partially why we call it Artificial Intelligence. It’s not saying that it is a machine of truth. Just a machine that “learns” and “knows”. Sometimes correctly, sometimes wrong. Just like us.

unknowing8343,

I am not saying it works exactly like humans inside of the black box. I just say it works. It learns and then creates thoughts. And it works.

You talk about how human cognition is more complex and squishy, but nobody really knows how it truly works inside.

All I see is the same kind of blackbox. A kid trying many, many times to stand up, or to say “papa”, until it somehow works, and now the pathway is setup in the brain.

Obviously ChatGPT is just dealing with text. But does it make it NOT intelligent? I think it makes it very text-intelligent. Just add together all the AI pieces we are building and you got yourself a general AI that will do anything we do.

Yeah, maybe it does not work like our brain. But is a human brain structure the only possible structure for intelligence? I don’t think so.

unknowing8343,

Yes, it’s inefficient… and OpenAI and Google are losing exactly because of that.

There’s open source models already out there that are rivaling ChatGPT and that you can train on your 10 year-old laptop in a day.

And this is just the beggining.

Also… maybe we should check how many words of exposure a kid gets throughout their life to get to the point to develop arguments such as ChatGPT’s… because the thing is that… ChatGPT does know way more about many things than any human being will ever do. Like, easily thousands of times more.

unknowing8343,

If you like Duolingo’s style, which I honestly do (I mix it with podcasts on the road), then there’s probably no close enough alternative.

If you want an open source version because of the ads, just go to your phone settings and set a “private DNS” with dns.adguard.com. There are other options too, but I’ll leave them for you to discover. This will filter out most ads on many apps and websites, such as Duolingo.

unknowing8343,

Yeah, well, yes, you are giving away that information in any case, it’s not like you weren’t doing that before.

unknowing8343,

But Hot is broken in Lemmy, it shows old stuff like it’s hot. The system is broken, but I think there is a PR on the way.

Tedd.it is Shutting Down (tedd.it)

Tedd.it, a website that aggregates content from Reddit, is shutting down permanently on August 1st, 2023 due to restrictions on the Reddit API. The site has been experiencing “429 Too Many Requests” errors as Reddit has severely limited its access to content in an effort to cut costs. The site owner cannot afford the high...

unknowing8343,

Oh! I do remember that I probably visited some instance at some point. I did use libreddit far more, for some reason.

unknowing8343,

There is already. Don’t remember the link but lemmyverse.net should do it.

What's the best debian/ubuntu based distro featuring KDE?

I’ve been using linux for some time now, i would still say i’m quite a noob but i’ve tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i’ve tried cinnamon before and couldn’t really see myself...

unknowing8343,

KDE Neon has all the latest KDE stuff, and the rest is essentially Ubuntu LTS.

So, if you want the best KDE possible, but not too much change on the rest of your base… then KDE Neon is for you.

I used it a long time ago, when I fell in love with KDE. I use Arch now, BTW.

unknowing8343,

You tried most of them. You found Arch enjoyable, so I’d stick to that for the Wiki, the community, and flexibility.

NixOS looks interesting too, but nothing beats Arch in terms of having so much software at one-click distance with the almighty AUR.

unknowing8343,

This is not the community for asking these questions. Read the guidelines.

unknowing8343,

Hey! Rogue One was better than any of the Sequel Trilogy movies, there I said it. It’s not great, but at least it was not a clear destruction of an amazing saga, just a tiny side-story. Some people couldn’t see it yet with The Force Awakens due to all the nostalgia flooding in… but it was pretty obvious to me they were just ripping-off the originals, and by the last movie everyone understood that it was all just a very, very, veeeery bad idea.

unknowing8343,

No expert here, but this is an ELI5, so…

Turns out, there’s something in our brains that trigger instinctive fears. This is good for survival, generally.

Some people have too much of that, so they become very afraid of things (phobias) or they might even develop more serious mental issues.

On the other side of the spectrum, there’s these guys you talk about. People who were predisposed or either “learned” to be more “fearless”, the most extreme guys being basically already dead by stupidity.

I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry....

unknowing8343,

The standardization has not gotten yet to your frontend, it seems.

unknowing8343,

What’s the difference between 2nd and 3rd links?

unknowing8343,

My advice: time to move on. Ubuntu has been like that for a while and they have plans to go even further, so move to Debian, which is basically Ubuntu without the issues. Even Firefox-ESR is the default in Debian.

unknowing8343,

I have to say that I feel that currently the most consumed contents in the Internet are mostly human-written; and my proof is actually that it is now when the tendency is clearly changing. I have stumbled upon a few AI-generated articles already in the past few months, without looking for them specifically. You could tell because it sometimes focuses on weird details, or even I have seen l some kind of

as an AI, I do not have an opinion on the subject […]

which is so funny when you see it.

So, yeah, it is definitely starting to happen, and in the next few years I wouldn’t be surprised if 30 to 50 % of articles are just AI blorbs built for clicks.

How to avoid this? We can’t. The only way would be to shut down the Internet, forbid computers and go back to a simpler life. And that, for many reasons will not happen unless some world-class destruction event happens.

unknowing8343,

I find this very much like a dream that will… stay a dream. Who defines human-curated websites or true journalism if I don’t even really know you are an AI bot?

Also, who says people will not like AI content? Because the world will still be full of the same people who buy Apple products and piss on “green bubble” people.

unknowing8343,

I don’t know the exact number, but, come on! Look at those guys! They are basically hairy humans with a slightly less complex system of communication.

Metalcore - news, reviews, videos & discussion

Metalcore (or metallic hardcore) is a fusion music genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. This is a place for news, reviews,...

If you are worried that your computer will screw you with a bad update tomorrow, and the possibility of setting up your system like it’s a wishlist.

I found there is no like/dislike interface, it seems like just a Mastodon-like boost interface interface.

Hi! eslemmy.es might be a good discovery place, fully in Spanish.

unknowing8343,

I was interested in NixOS until I saw no reference of a specific software I want. Literally not a single search result.

So, I guess its biggest flaw for me is that it cannot beat Arch Linux’s catalogue. So, maybe in a year I’ll check again.

unknowing8343,

Maybe you don’t know, but Twitter now enforces login, so either go with nitter… or simply share an article/screenshot.

unknowing8343,

If you are a fellow Linux user, make sure you don’t get Nvidia, and i believe Dell and Lenovo have good compatibility and support Linux, but check that out in any case.

unknowing8343,

How are we sure xManager is legit? It feels like there could me many ways it is malware.

unknowing8343,

The app is open source, yes, but the app is not taking your Spotify apk and patching it locally or anything.

The app is downloading the patched APK from somewhere obscure. That is it. No local magic. How do we know it is not compromised?

unknowing8343,

How many times I’ve seen protonmail/tutanota/anonaddy emails not even reaching some big-ass company inbox or even spam folder.
