NPR leaves Twitter (for now): https://www.engadget.com/npr-is-ditching-twitter-over-government-funded-media-label-on-its-main-account-155556726.html (good on ya)

5 out of the 10 books on the NYT BR combined fiction bestseller list (yesterday) are by the same person. It's been that way for a long time. I don't know what to do about that, but I think people might like some changes made to the way the list is built / presented.

@chrisjrn @sri

I do too (have participated in 2 in-person trainings)

@xor They were one of the first people to send me mail when I registered my LLC.

If you sent me an email and are wondering why I didn't answer yet, I probably didn't get it. Sporadic email issues due to bad MX records due to bad instructions from Gandi plus terrible sysadmin (me).

@dansup Any plans to also put it in F-Droid?

I just tried to click an old answers.yahoo.com link and got kinda sad.

@adfeno While I didn't necessarily want to have to learn a bunch of new stuff, I have definitely found systemd to be very useful in general.

@danderzei Yes, but the request to enter the password is the prompt to the LLM. You don't think an LLM trained on data about people will be able to make good guesses at passwords? The list of common passwords as well as common password "methods" (like birthdays etc) would be one part of the data, but also things like where people live and what they do for a living, etc.. I don't know, but seems pretty likely to me.

@mistersql Yeah.. and I guess really my question is, how effective can a similar LLM be at guessing passwords, especially if you were able to train it on more data about people.

@danderzei A password is a prompt though?

@mistersql Makes sense that they blocked that. Which makes me think it's at least a little capable.

@bremner They are, and I did not much, so now I will. I did see that systemd-run --scope --user screen might help?

Have people started using #ChatGPT to guess passwords yet?

Turns out nowadays if I want my Screen session to not die when the graphical desktop environment crashes (or I log out of it), I have to start Screen from a VT and then reattach from the DE and do a lot of "export DISPLAY=:0.0" in the individual Screen terminals just like it's...some year a long time ago.

@brion Just a few years ago, had a *Delta pilot* say, "sorry for the short delay, but we're going to fly this plane like we stole it.."

Twitter labels NPR as "state-affiliated media": https://www.engadget.com/twitter-designates-npr-as-us-state-affiliated-media-165306913.html

but not the BBC.

NPR, please don't righteously beg for Musk to take you back. Time to leave.

A big part of my life has been explaining to athletes in hotel bars what the very much nonathletic event going on around them is (debate tournament, FLOSS conference, #fountainpen show).
