@bonifartius @lohang most of us freeload on our instance's generosity, and actually have no standing to question such decisions. Those who contribute to their instance have some standing, and I think should be questioning instance-level blocks on principle. Maybe if individual accounts could be whitelisted by users, it would be workable.

Hi.

You might recall my asking about your past thoughts on using #GDB as a #LSP server. While not LSP, I came across this neat #DWARF query tool `dwgrep` with a #Forth or #Factor style query language and thought of mentioning it

@ifixcoinops ignoring the unrelated thread this ends, many people have made this point.

The primary product of economic activity is waste; "use value" is a by-product.

@mathias what is the reason? FWIW, the Zig creator says he is learning Japanese.

@jleigh I guess sympathy is in order if you are having to write UVM cide?

@ocdtrekkie
unless you are a shareholder, you can't be betrayed ... And they haven't been.

I am not being snarky!

Anyway, most people don't even know opinion pueces are being delivered as reportage.

Maybe unpopular opinion: this isn’t sustainable

If you’ve got so many users on your instance(s) that it’s costing you $4k pcm (and however many tens of thousands of dollars he claims to have spent so far) and you need to solicit money from your users/community, this is not “decentralised”

Dan needs to stop amassing users and focus on building the software. Let other admins carry the load of actually running the service

@julian @treefit
I think there is a spec to match #Hubzilla etc. on this basic aspect, its an FEP about "conversation containers". I wonder if the server load argument is Mastodon/Rails specific and Pleroma/Elixir probably don't have that problem.
@BeAware

@woltiv I am guessing iOS also does disk encryption?

@alex I just realized I had never seen https://emacswiki.org down until now, a testament to the robustness of your setup and the size of the hit you (and everybody else like @corbet) are taking now.

Question: long-term, is there a "CDN" solution to this? Decentralized, like all content are #MagnetURI - the Bittorrent seeder rations bandwidth by design, and genuine clients of a popular website end up getting it via peers.

@pro did he snap because of D? I had fond hopes on its C subset but Zig got there better.

@treefit I find the question strange. I have a feeling converse.js will be the answer though.

@woltiv Android does encrypted disk and there is an app to work on local tiddlywiki files (tiddloid) ... you don't need a server!

fun thing about #TiddlyWiki: you can just go to another (public) TW and "steal" their plugins via drag&drop.

Does anybody know how non-Web URI's are handled in a WebView on Android?

I am using #Tiddloid on a local #TiddlyWiki in #Android which seems to be implemented in a #Webview. If I click https:// links, it opens the web browser. If I click callto: and payto: links, a permissions dialog for opening an external app is shown, but allowing it doesn't do anything.

@mathias there seem to be multi-protocol clients in various domains, you seem to want a multi-domain client. That seems like accidental coupling. Ditto on the server side. Even so, #Hubzilla and #Epicyon seem to do it on the server side. But different servers and clients with #SingleSignOn sounds better.

@epicdemiologist
Very pertinent. Maybe redirect rogue requests to LLM websites? Let the rogues ignore the redirect.

Sabot in the Age of AI

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.
🔗 https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine

🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron
🔗 https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/

🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb
🔗 https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike
🔗 https://codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-the-wellms

🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel
🔗 https://github.com/Fingel/django-llm-poison

🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

Any #Wikipedia editors around who can help? We are trying to get the article on #CHERI added. It's so far been rejected three times:

First, it did not have enough independent citations. We added a lot to news articles about CHERI.

Second, it was insufficiently detailed and lacking context. We added a timeline of development, a load of cross references, and a simple introduction.

It was then rejected again because it lacks an explanation that a 15-year-old could understand. This is true of 90% of science-related articles on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure how we fix it. An explanation at that level is something I can write (I have done for the #CHERIoT book!) but it would then make the page 3-4 times as long and not suitable for an encyclopaedia (I've previously seen pages rejected because Wikipedia is not the right place for tutorials).

I don't understand the standards for Wikipedia and I really need some guidance for how to resolve and progress this.
