Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

We’re at the random parts with wires sticking out dev phase.
Here we’re performing initial crude thermal tests.

Pixelfed is a photo sharing social network, the Fediverse's alternative to Instagram.
You can find out more from the official website at:
The site has a server list and app list (click ☰ if you're on mobile).
The official @pixelfed apps are in public beta testing, and there are third party Pixelfed apps available such as @vernissage for iPhone and @PixelDroid for Android.
You can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon, and Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed.
An improved, I think, version:
Destination:
$ nc -l -p 10002 | pv | gpg -d --no-symkey-cache | tar -x
Source:
$ tar -cv [folder] | gpg -c | nc [dest's hostname] 10002
The `tar` `-v` flag is moved to the source host, so that you can see `gpg -d`'s output better to check that it isn't decrypting bogus publickey-encrypted data.
This uses the `pv` command too, which is optional in the pipeline and is usually not installed. It behaves similar to `cat` but with a handy progress indicator.
Just found out a really neat, convenient way to transfer folders encrypted and peer-to-peer on Unix/Linux.
Destination:
$ nc -l -p 10002 | gpg -d | tar -xv
Source:
$ tar -c [folder] | gpg -c | nc [dest's hostname] 10002
I was aware of something like this before, but hadn't polished it off.

Among the list of reasons modern cars are unappealing to me: in addition to uploading location data, they also sometimes have cameras that upload video to the vendor. In this case employees at Tesla found the juiciest videos and shared them internally:

It is a remarkable thing for a good person to lead a meaningful life in relative obscurity.

“Virgo” is the code name for the laptop we’ll manufacture at our Denver factory. This is the LCD “A” panel milled from thin 6061 aluminum bar stock.

INFORMATION SECURITY TIP: If you suddenly find that someone out there has submitted your email address to a ton mailing lists and attempted to register for things using your email address, don't shrug it off. This is potentially serious if it's being done at scale.
Why would someone do this? Assuming it's not just someone harassing you because they don't like you, the main reason someone would do this is to distract you from important email notifications by flooding your inbox with an avalanche of #spam.
If someone gets into your Amazon or eBay account, they can buy a bunch of stuff, but those orders will generate email notifications to tip you off that something is wrong. If your inbox is indecipherable, you might not see that someone is ordering stuff with your credit cards or moving money around.
If this happens to you, watch all of your e-commerce and financial accounts for unusual activity and change your passwords.
Art is an interesting thing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and art has the potential to change hearts and convey meaning at a deep level.
AI art cheapens art.
I'd really hate for meaningful artwork, something that required dedication and heart to create, to be generated at a mere text prompt....

From @mullvadnet THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN ITS OWN CHAT CONTROL BILL
I know I am US-based, but I've been following this law and what a terrible thing it is. Mullvad coming with receipts to back up this headline.

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed

@mmasnick @caseynewton I'd be OK with those people staying on Twitter. The lack of vitriol here has done wonders for my stress levels.

This is not a drill! We’ll be getting more gameplay info and footage for #Zelda #TearsoftheKingdom on #NintendoSwitch tomorrow at 3pm!
I got less than 3 hours of sleep, and today marks the first day I drank non-decaf #coffee in college.
I feel awake and not awake at the same time.
"Cool" is "normal" executed so well that it's special.
And, I believe that all these other "humans" are also conscious, according to the evidence (such as them looking and behaving, all things considered, very similar to me). So, evidently, they have something beyond physics, too.
As for ChatGPT, the evidence I have is that it exists just in physics like normal (being ANN based and all). So I do not believe it is conscious.
A post I recently saw about #ChatGPT prompted me to go through some logic about #life:
I know as a fact that I'm conscious. I don't know how it works, but however it works, I'm conscious and consciousness is something fundamentally beyond math.
If physics is, basically, math being executed over time, then you cannot have consciousness existing (solely) in physics. And so I believe that I must have something beyond physics that serves as my "consciousness".
