I’ll add that it’s a multiple of parts (see this video), not just one factor that gives it away. But for me the most telling one is that the text looks like the author spent a lot of time thinking about what figures of speech to use but at the same time did not use capital letters. The prompt clearly included something like “don’t use capital letters to make it look more casual”. But the LLM forgot to make the semantics look casual.

It’s also possible they just write like a bot.

Unlikely but if it were true, it would not change a thing. For me it does not matter who wrote the slop. It’s crap writing regardless and I don’t want to see that on the internet.

Btw from the video we can see the “rule of 3 pattern” which was used in this post:

what’s your absolute, non-negotiable, ‘i will personally visit the datacenter if this fails’ self-hosted application

Also I think the greeting “alright folks, let’s get real” is a gipitism.

what’s your absolute, non-negotiable, ‘i will personally visit the datacenter if this fails’ self-hosted application

Here you missed that this sentence makes no sense in a selfhosted context. What datacenter??? I honestly don’t know how can anyone doubt the elelemcy here.

It’s funny that the headline frames it as “a big number” when in reality majority of users don’t know what database they’re using and probably don’t even know what a database is. Such polls aren’t useless but you always get skewed results towards the more technical population. They would have to create a poll inside the nextcloud webapp to get more balanced results.

I used to do this (before my server died). You can for example use this to bypass Proton’s free tier one user per account limit.

Basically it’s about correctly setting the wireguard’s AllowedIPs and DisallowedIPs. Your laptop wants to send everything through wireguard. Your home server wants to send everything through Proton (or Mullvad or aVPN) except the communication with your laptop.

(I did that by marking the packets from one VPN with fwmark and sending marked packets to the other but that is a dumb solution for such a simple problem.)

It does not matter how powerful the phone is as long as the drivers suck. The original Pinephone would have been fine if it had proper standby mode. If this makes it to production, it’s going to be ewaste. Judging by the fact that they don’t mention software challenges and only focus on privacy/foss buzzwords and le epic HW specs.

Don’t worry, the whole thing is that GNU boot contains proprietary firmware for testing coreboot. The only distros affected are GNU Boot and Canoe Boot. Upstream coreboot has that testing firmware there intentionally so it’s silly to call it “affected”.

FSF is doing great stuff for the world but I think FOSS is kinda held back by being led by nerds that are “a bit different”. (edit: I mean that with respect. These nerds are surely nice people and great coders but imo not great philosophical leaders)
