Yup, you’d be surprised what you can accomplish with 10gb of VRAM and a 12b model. Hell, my profile pic (which isn’t very good, tbf) was made on that 10gb VRAM card using localhosted stable diffusion. I hate big corp AI, but I absolutely love open market and open source local models. Gonna be a shame when they start to police them.

To OP: The problem is that they’re looking for keywords. With the amount of people under surveillance these days, they don’t give a rat’s ass if you went to your favorite coffee roasting site, they want to find the stuff they don’t want you to do.

Piracy? You’re on a list. Any cleaning chemical that can be related to the construction of explosives? You’re on a list. These lists will then tack on more keywords that pertain to that list. For example, the explosives list will then search for matching components bought within a close span of time that would indicate you’re making them. Even searching for ways to enforce your privacy just makes them more interested.

So then you put out a bunch of fake data. This data happens to say you viewed a page pertaining that matching component. Whelp, that list just got hotter and now there are even more eyes on you and they’re being slightly more attentive this time. Its a bad idea. The only way you’re getting out of surveillance, at least online, is to never go online.

In reality, they probably won’t even do anything about the above. What they really want is money. Money for your info; money to sell more things to you. They want the average home to be filled with advertisements tailored from your information. Because those adverts make those companies money, which they then use to buy more information to monetize your existence. Its the largest pyramid scheme known to humanity, and we’re the unpaid grunts.

The moment the world became connected through telephones, cable TV, and then internet this scheme was already in motion way beforehand. Let’s be honest, smartphones were the motherload. A TV, phone, and computer you always keep on you? They were salivating that day.

Fonts are a big one and can be a very descriptive fingerprint.

There are applications out there that muddle your installed fonts by making it look like you have a ton of fonts you don’t actually have.

But yes, they can see what fonts you have and can tell your OS and other computers you may have used if you’ve downloaded the same third party fonts for all of them.

If one of those computers was known to be yours at one time, then even if you lock away your identity later on another PC your fonts can give you away.

Though non-toxic, it seems liquid silicone can block the bood pathways in your body if it gets in your system. Also, industrial grade (and cheaper) silicone can contain toxic additives, which has been causing a stir lately.

However, accidentally ingesting a tiny amount of non-liquid food grade silicone particulates shouldn’t raise any concerns, but I see why op might still be wary about it in a spigot.

To op: Have you considered getting a spigot with silicone o-rings and buying third party natural rubber o-rings to replace them with?

Edit: Ah, just reread that you did for the gaskets. Hm. Lemme see if I can find anything.

Edit 2: I found a site selling natural rubber gasket material. You may have to cut it to size:

Edit 3: Natural rubber spigot o-rings doesn’t seem to yield many results, but I got some hits for natural rubber faucet o-rings. Maybe try there? Hope you find what you’re looking for.

I agree with you on that point. I got overly ambitious and have always wondered about making my own icon pack. When you do release, you should reach out to Delta icons in F-Droid and see if you can get your app requested! Everone gets one app request for free, and the project is completely free and open source.

I’ll post a finished product when it’s done if you want to use it anywhere. You can freely have it and license it under your project if you wish. I’ll try to finish it by tomorrow, and in the meantime if you have any other requests for art that you need, do not hesitate to ask. I think this is an amazing idea, and honestly could see other utilization for it.

For example, a color naming tool for the colorblind. With the way AI is, it could present examples of things of that color. For example, a lime green could show a tennis ball, bright grass, and other such samples. Could possibly used in aiding colorblind individuals in painting or digital art (though the paintings that come from a fully colorblind artist are wild and really cool when they just pick from the grays that look good to them).

This was what I was thinking. Vectoring the continents takes a bit of time, but it’s pretty fun, actually. I want to get some iris details in there, but would also like a bit of feedback from the community.

If you already have something else, that’s good as well. I honestly am having fun making this and I needed to get back into vector art anyway.

So I’m not the best at this, but this is my best guess (I have no experience in sysadmin, as I’ve only ever been the sole user of my PC and prefer not to network anything).

Owner #1, smackyboi, has ownership of a file called smutgame.AppImage. This means they can choose who accesses smutgame, if it can execute, if it can be read or written by certain groups, etc.

Owner #2, luvurealgood, on the system via their own account (or networked computer in the case of server storage) can’t change these settings unless smackyboi says they could, because they’re the owner and can add luvurealgood to the admin group for the file if they want. Smackyboi suddenly writes, sudo chown luvurealgood smutgame.AppImage.

Now luvurealgood owns that file and can make every change they want to it, including removing smackyboi from accessing it, as they’re no longer the owner. They can lock down the file and forbid it from being executed, etc etc. I believe anyone who is in the admin group of that file can do anything to it as well, except change it’s ownership if its already owned.

This is just from pieces of info and my tiny experience in Windows sysadmin shenanigans. Someone swoop in and correct me if I got anything wrong.

Let me take a fresh look at this in the morning. I’m having the itch to get up, boot up Inkscape and get something going via vector, but my sleep schedule will be completely screwed if I do that.

I’ll try to set an alarm or something, as I have pretty severe and unmedicated ADHD, but if someone could reply to this as well, as an extra reminder, I’d be grateful. I’ll probably remember when I open the app tomorrow, but better safe than sorry.

Its not often I get the itch to draw, but this really leaps out at me and I want to try. I have an idea of how I’d go about it. An eye looking slightly skyward with Earth as the pupil (if it hasn’t been done for something else yet). I don’t know if it’s within my skill, though.

Also, I believe there’s a way to translate vector to XML. I think I did it once when I was making a custom theme for MusicBee, but I’ll have to look again to be sure.

There was a whole subreddit called “r/SaveAfoxSnark” that went private after the news came out. One reddit mod there got doxxed, panicked, and deleted their whole reddit history.

Edit: The mod’s reddit handle is/was KazeoLion. There are only quotes here about this, so take it all with a grain of salt until we know more. These are YouTube comments:

MappleBunny 13 hours ago One of the people responsible for the bullying is a reddit user by the name of KazeoLion, who has since been doxxed and had to delete most of his reddit posts (which are still available in the wayback machine), he even made a post where he doubled down on his actions.

We will neither forgive nor forget. Rest in peace Mikayla

bluebowser3347 21 hours ago There was a whole subreddit called r/SaveAfoxSnark that was dedicated to bullying and harassing Mikayla. The moment the news came out that she had killed herself the subreddit switched to private.

You should check out GURPS. Its a simpler system with universal campaigns (modern, fantasy, mech, dimension hopping, steampunk). The system is super easy. You start with 100 points to make your character. You can spend them on stats, skills, spells, and perks. You can even gain more points by taking quirks.

You roll 3d6 for everything. Your goal is to get under your skill number. Fireball of 13 needs to roll under 13. If its raining or something, your GM can choose to put a -4 on that. So now you need to roll under 9. Just simple addition and subtraction, but it works really well.

D&D players aren’t satanists. They’re much worse. They’re math addicts.
