  • I have 20+ remote systems I need to maintain and apps like this provide tabbed experience like a browser to connect to them.

    I’ve found that if you’re using ssh then taking your hands off the keyboard to grab a mouse just to click a different tab is slow and annoying.

    I use a terminal multiplexer, tmux, and just keep different sessions open for each server that I need to connect to.

    leader = CTRL+b (you can change this but this is the default)
    
    leader s - Open session manager
    leader c - Open new window in the session
    leader 0-9 - Swap to Window 0-9
    leader % - Split screen vertically
    leader left/right arrow, move between split screens
    leader z - full screen the active screen
    leader d - disconnect from the tmux session
    etc
    
    tmux -a to re-connect to the tmux session
    

    There’s a ton of hotkeys and plugins that can handle essentially anything you’d like to do. Once you learn the few hotkeys (print a cheatsheet and force yourself to use the hotkeys).





  • AI should absolutely never be allowed in court. Defense is probably stoked about this because it’s obviously a mistrial. Judge should be reprimanded for allowing that shit

    You didn’t read the article.

    This isn’t grounds for a mistrial, the trial was already over. This happened during the sentencing phase. The defense didn’t object to the statements.

    From the article:

    Jessica Gattuso, the victim’s right attorney that worked with Pelkey’s family, told 404 Media that Arizona’s laws made the AI testimony possible. “We have a victim’s bill of rights,” she said. “[Victims] have the discretion to pick what format they’d like to give the statement. So I didn’t see any issues with the AI and there was no objection. I don’t believe anyone thought there was an issue with it.”


  • This is just weird uninformed nonsense.

    The reason that outbursts, like gasping or crying, can cause a mistrial is because they can unfairly influence a jury and so the rules of evidence do not allow them. This isn’t part of trial, the jury has already reached a verdict.

    Victim impact statements are not evidence and are not governed by the rules of evidence.

    It’s ludicrous that this was allowed and honestly is grounds to disbar the judge. If he allows AI nonsense like this, then his courtroom can not be relied upon for fair trials.

    More nonsense.

    If you were correct, and there were actual legal grounds to object to these statements then the defense attorney could have objected to them.

    Here’s an actual attorney. From the article:

    Jessica Gattuso, the victim’s right attorney that worked with Pelkey’s family, told 404 Media that Arizona’s laws made the AI testimony possible. “We have a victim’s bill of rights,” she said. “[Victims] have the discretion to pick what format they’d like to give the statement. So I didn’t see any issues with the AI and there was no objection. I don’t believe anyone thought there was an issue with it.”


  • The direct answer to your question is: verification of the security of the platform that the other party is using is outside of the scope of the Signal protocol. Anything you send to the other party can be taken off of their device. Signal only concerns itself with securing the message over the network and making it hard for an adversary with network dominance to build a social graph. It doesn’t protect from all SIGINT.

    Additionally, since the server is open source and the protocol is open an publicly documented, it is completely possible to build your own Signal client and give it whatever capabilities that you’d like.

    There are several open source packages available that allow you to interface with Signal without using the official Signal client:

  • Well, I also have some bad news for the users of Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Target, FedEx, Dell, Lowe’s, General Electric, Proctor & Gamble, IBM, Nvidia, AMD, Cisco, Publix, Intel, HP, United Airlines, Nike, Oracle, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Dow Chemical Company, Best Buy, Cargill, Koch Industries, H-E-B, Love’s, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson,

    …I could go on.







  • It’s super useful to make custom 3D prints.

    I’ve been using a script to generate custom nameplates which are oriented such that the face is parallel to the build plate, so I can swap filament colors when it transitions from the nameplate to the name.

    I could do this manually in CAD, but it would take a huge amount of time. Now I just edit a script file, alter a string or two and adjust some spacing values and get a ready to print model.

    Pretty neat


  • I am a software developer and used to working with wsl, debian servers, etc. I selfhost a bunch of things and know my way around the linux commandline and would call me privacy enthusiast that uses a lot of FLOSS software. I also do occasional gaming but I guess that should work on any distro with enough work.

    You’re a power user who has enough technical knowledge to deal with the issues of running bleeding edge.

    I’d say Arch, even the manual install isn’t too complicated once you’ve done it a few times and then you’ll have access to the latest and greatest packages.

    Occasionally this results in some weird bugs. For example, currently, when waking from suspend my HDMI outputs fail to connect until I change the display properties, so I wrote a bash script to toggle the refresh rate and bound that to a hotkey so I can recover without a display. I’m sure in a day or two a system update will fix it and, if not, I know how to locate the problem (in the system log: kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: HDMI FRL link training failed. ) and report it on the appropriate bug tracker.

    If this doesn’t sound intimidating then you’ll be fine as an Arch user.


  • Oh yeah, you gotta get rid of S mode before you can do essentially anything.

    I’ve only dealt with one laptop that came with that ‘feature’ so I just ignored all of the warnings that they’ve posted around the official way of disabling it (I mean “Enabling Developer Mode”, i.e. regular Windows)
