It seems like the most significant new feature is called anti-gravity which is kind of an allow list?
We’ve had white lists for a long time so I’m not exactly sure how this will impact the system. That being said I read through the release notes and there are a lot of changes and improvements throughout the system, so congrats to them team on the 6 release.
I’ve had pihole running on my home network for years and I love it.
Had one for a while. It’s ok but the places you can safely ride are more limited than you think. E-scooters are a far superior invention for mobility.
My TikTok feed is full of content that I find interesting and educational, from creators who work hard to make something valuable.
For them, banning TikTok means the work they put in to curating an audience will be partially lost, they’ll retain only the followers who find them on another app. If they are monetizing, they’ll potentially have to start over. That may discourage some who are just getting started from developing their craft.
If china, bytedance, meta, or any other platform is collecting user data in such a way as to be a national threat they definitely need to cut it out and this should be regulated. For example, it should be impossible to identify the location of military generals based on where their wives access TikTok from, or who’s having an affair with who based on proximity to each other, or to develop a vast dataset of individually identifiable profiles of every user that could be used to selectively damage their character.
Aside from these problems, which are potentially solvable, I think the individual creator/maker economy is an awesome way to give more power to the people.
The TOTP changes every time. For modern totp hashing I’m not sure how many sequential codes a keylogger would need but I’m guessing more than I will ever enter.
Edit, asked ai for an answer to that because I was curious (maybe it’s right):
That being said, if an attacker were able to collect a large number of TOTP codes, they might be able to launch a brute-force attack to try to guess the private key. However, this would require an enormous amount of computational power and time.
To give you an idea of the scale, let’s consider the following:
Assume an attacker collects 1000 TOTP codes, each 6 digits long (a common length for TOTP codes).
Assume the private key is 128 bits long (a common length for cryptographic keys).
Assume the attacker uses a powerful computer that can perform 1 billion computations per second.
Using a brute-force attack, the attacker would need to try approximately 2^128 (3.4 x 10^38) possible private keys to guess the correct one. Even with a powerful computer, this would take an enormous amount of time - on the order of billions of years.
My bank uses a TOTP and they not only block paste, they also block all typing. Instead they popup a modal with a 0-9 digit keypand and the location of each number changes every time.
Effing obnoxious.
Bots don’t paste. If it a selenium related bot it would inject the value or type out each keypress.

Hah, I installed Postiz just yesterday, interesting to see this thread. It’s like buffer or one of the other paid tools to schedule your social media posts and track engagement. Of course, of particular interest to our community, Postiz is self hosted.
It doesn’t have as many features yet as the major SaaS businesses, but the software is looking good and quite usable right now. I’m sure the more people who use it and support the developer, the more this tool can grow.
For example you can plug in your OpenAI API key and get an LLM chat interface inside the software while writing social posts. But I don’t think it learns your style or creates posts using any kind of system prompt yet unless you type it in each time.
Another thing I couldn’t figure out so far is how to limit which social media channels individual users can see. For example my business has several different units and there’s a different marketing team on each unit, so they shouldn’t be able to post into other channels.
If you’re in the business of needing to post regularly on a lot of channels I think postiz is worth checking out.
Training takes more resources.
Querying takes less resources.

The HOA is the owners. The owners vote in some board members who do the work on behalf of the majority of owners.
Sometimes the HOA hires some 3rd party management company to handle stuff, but in our case we felt it was wasted money because we would care more about the results. In the end I can see why a lot of owner boards do that as the day-to-day of running the place is obnoxious.
The public spaces were on our property, so our responsibility.

Really? I think a pretty healthy portion of the land above the 30th parallel until the Arctic circle looks something like this
I was the president of my HOA. Somewhat not intentionally.
It was my first home, a condo, and I bought it at launch right after it was built. After about 6 months of living there, a neighbor approached me and said the whole rest of the board had flaked out, and would I like to be president of the HOA?
I said sure, it seems interesting and I definitely want the value of my ownership to be protected.
So me, him, and another guy formed a new board.
Oh man, the messes we started to uncover. The super low dues didn’t even cover the trash removal, hallway electric lighting bill, elevator maintenance contract… Much less any landscaping. No wonder the place was looking rough.
And of course there was no budget to put money away for long term needs like reroofing or whatever.
So we worked hard on a plan to propose to the owners to increase the dues about 70% so that we’d have a well landscaped place and hopefully no surprise expenses ever because of an ample rainy day fund.
Less than 10% of the owners even showed up to the HOA meeting, so we didn’t meet quorum.
We tried again, and finally got quorum after knocking on doors and asking for people to please come and vote.
This was just one issue. I’d get regular calls like hey, somebody dumped an old mattress by the dumpster. Can you call the removal company (the regular trash service wouldn’t take that kind of thing). Or calls like “there’s some sick trees in the front yard, when are you finally going to get an arborist out here?” And so and so’s room is leaving trash in the hallway, can you please go talk to them?
I resigned within a year. Screw those guys and I’ll never co-own without getting to choose my partners again.
The US projects its own interests worldwide but those often overlap with the interests of other as well.
For example, the US often stipulates intellectual property and worker rights in it’s trade deals. The US actively protects shipping lanes. The US actively negotiates visa-free entry for American passport holders to other countries. The US invests in the economies of foreign countries to stimulate trade opportunities. The US controls the SWIFT banking network which makes it so that we don’t need to send gold bullion or pallets of cash to buy things from other countries, and participating in the system requires member countries to have certain controls in place that attempt to block bad actors. The US, through it’s embassies and ambassadors, deploys it ideology to foreign governments, and makes deals that allow foreigners to invest in the USA and Americans to open businesses in foreign countries.
The US actively shuns and makes life difficult for menace dictatorships on the global stage by creating trade exclusions.
There have been coups since the beginning of time and always will be, as it’s human nature. Many citizens of other countries have no belief that the future of their country belongs to them after decades or centuries of dictatorships or kingdoms. On the whole, history shows that kingdoms rise and fall for many reasons and the people sometimes benefit and sometimes suffer for it.
Obviously it’s a highly complex topic, but if the US wasn’t doing these things, then Russia or China would be, or there would be more powerful regional factions, which could reduce the size of the world in terms of travel and trade options for many.
Whether the US is the right one to be in control of this at this point in history is a matter of intense debate among some, but it could absolutely be worse than it is now.
She understands there is a problem, just doesn’t understand the solution. Good on her for having privacy concerns and paying attention.
The moment I start to think about meditating, my mind explodes with alternative ideas until I forget. In fact it’s so efficient at not meditating, that even though I have time and space set aside for it daily on my calendar, some subprocess in my brain still often subverts the whole thing. It’s a scary place before I get there.
But I have never once completed a meditation that I regretted. Even the meditations that are difficult to get through - usually because my mind is really jumpy - still feel like a nice piece of self care at the end.
I think the more routine the practice, the easier it is to start and better your mind becomes at focusing on your breath without allowing all the various stressors of the moment take control. And that is a powerful muscle to build up.
I thought by now we’d have seen a fuckton of celebrity deepfake nudes and rule 34 porn of every variety, plus apps that let incels create it from pics of their high school crushes/enemies, but it seems like that tidal wave hasn’t hit yet.
Or perhaps the legal protections arrived just in time to discourage those with the know-how
Second this, Pihole is great and protects every device on your network too - mobile phones, smart TVs, tablets, Nintendo Switches, etc.
It’s wild how much telemetry is baked into stuff that you can just cut the nuts off of.

Haven’t checked in a while but is there any hope for cloud storage of the image library yet? I’m kind of holding out for S3 support because I don’t want to manage multiple terabytes locally.
