Will do, I’ve been working on un-hardcoding some dev stuff and getting it ready to be published for general use. I will post the update on this sub-lemmy when it’s ready.

All hail Roko’s Basilisk.

Bring about the upgrade to humanity!

As simple as what I’m about to suggest is, it is priceless.

This is an example when copy > paste. Copy the file content, perform the methods shared in this thread, then once you’ve verified that everything is running properly you can delete the original copy.

If it bunks and overwrites, no biggie, you planned for that.

I’d love to say that I’d never made the mistake of choosing CUT when I should have chosen COPY, but I guess sometimes we learn things the hard way. 💀

This is wonderful, I’m going to look at their implementations. That person certainly has the same goals as myself. This seems like a good chance to learn some C#. Whether I extend this person’s project or continue with my own implementation, I will post my results here once they are ready to be made public. Any persons reading this is free to message me to ask about progress.

I rely on the same library actually, I’ll check out that repo tmrw. It may be different than my project but I could use some inspiration so this is very relevant.

Thanks a lot.

I actually run nox as my primary client because my server is headless so this is certainly relevant. Well, sort of headless, I broadcast a vnc server then use mullvad to manage qbittorrent thru localhost:8080.

Or if I wanna manage it from a different computer, create a ssh route to the server from that computer, and well… do the same thing as above.

The limitation was that I need to open a web browser for both of those scenarios, and I just want to do everything thru the terminal. I know, I’m weird. Ideally I’d love to have a fully featured CLI interface but for now just simple stuff.

Just don’t wanna go reinventing the wheel. But if my project is original then I will continue to work on it and share it once it’s a bit more polished. The community can always use more projects, right?

I have an LG TV. Yes, the jellyfin client app is available in the LG store. You’ll just need to install it and tell it to connect to “IP_OF_YOUR_JELLYFIN_SERVER:8096”.

Alternatively, the Jellyfin server can broadcast as a DLNA server (in settings somewhere) and your TV’s Jellyfin client may automatically detect the server in that case.

Speaking to your other question, I use a Sabrent hard drive bay with some 20TiB drives setup as raid 5 logical volumes. It’s a good setup for me.

Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.

In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.

I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).

I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.

I agree with your sentiment regarding confusing syntax, however I think that confusion simply requires a calculated approach to dispell it.

It’s a prime example of why I use scripts as reminders as much as I use them functionally. I work out the syntax once… save it to an example script, then save myself 20 minutes of remembering by just $ cat ./path/to/script.sh and copying said syntax.

So if you can change your workflow such that learned things stay around as examples, I feel that you will pick it up much more quickly :)

awk

…for parsing the output of other commands quickly and simply. Then that parsed output can be used to create simple log messages or be passed as args to other scripts. Powerful.

It should be a legal requirement to have the options : Yes, No (and don’t ask again unless I go to options and explicitly change my mind).

There is a popup on OxygenOS (one of the reasons why I use LineageOS) Android whose options are “Agree” / “Exit”, with the implication that Exit just means they’ll ask you again tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, until you give in and Agree intentionally or accidentally.

I cannot help but draw a parallel in my mind between that behavior and rape.

You make a good point… In general, no one cares enough to track all this down. That is true. So that makes me wonder… who does/would care? So in a capitalist system, until the day the flow of money is impacted, generally nothing changes.

So if Reddit really is all (or vastly) bots, then aren’t advertisers paying to advertise to bots? And if that is true, at a certain point some metrics will show the yield on their investments is bunk.

Maybe that is how it collapses. I can hope.

I suppose the spirit of the question was “volume of content” vs “volume of accounts”. But there is a problem with loading a lot of content onto a singular account (from a bot detection PoV), and that is that it is easy to detect if an account is a bot if their post history is :

1. Metronomic (or)
2. Relentless in volume

To solve that problem (aka bot camouflage), the maintainers of said bots would use volume of accounts as a disguise mechanism. For that reason I assume that the volume of bot accounts has to scale with the volume of “pushed content” as, in my assessment… if I were running a bot network I’d want to be sure that my most-active bots were only 50-80% as prolific as known-human accounts… then simply distribute your content across those “strategically-limited-spam-bots”.

So as a TLDR I guess what I’m saying is that the volume of accounts has to scale with the volume of influence assuming you’d want your influence to appear organic.

The meta above this would be what, account creation monitoring? It’s an interesting conflict. Influence peddlers vs bot detectors.

What is gross to me is that platforms like Reddit appear to be catering to the influence peddlers. (or in the case of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica… allying with and giving birth to said influence peddlers to the political gain of Zuckerberg’s personal views on politics.)

Should one person have such power? Probably not. Explains a lot of “unexplainable” occurrences happening… back to back to back to back to…

This is the modern incarnation of “billionaires buying newspapers” to maintain control of the narrative.

I woke up (from a blackout) on the hood of a car. A car that was stopped at a red light and wasn’t the car my friends were driving. I guess I leapt out of the backseat and rolled around on their hood? Idk, I blacked out again then came-to again rolling through some wet grass. Blacked out again and woke up on a couch.

Turns out that humans can teleport.

Want more details? Me too. But I have no idea. It was more than two decades ago and I no longer drink.

Just an opinion from someone who has been around the internet for a long while. It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the comments are bots. I remember what it was like to interact with humans, even dumb humans, and they aren’t nearly as blatantly agenda-driven as commenters on what I’d call “visible social media”.

There are plenty of people who have a vested interest in disrupting means of communication and organization and they are investing a great deal in “false idea proliferation”.

My 0.02¢.

Oh, you asked for a percentage, in the popular subs? 80+%. In niche subs that don’t affect the Overton Window? 5-30%. And yes, these numbers are favricated outward from my butt hole.

A few ways I’ve used it.

Odd, a site seems to be non-functional. (Enable VPN). Site begins to work. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.

A site is stuttering. (Enable VPN). Magically works. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.

The most annoying, my family’s Internet over the holidays was blocking my laptop from updating Ubuntu, enabled VPN, udpate went just fine.

In general, it stops ISPs from dictating if they approve or disapprove of your behavior. Hide what you’re doing and all traffic is just anonymous bits and bobs.

As it fucking should be by law… but in the US the conservative party continually repeals the law that enforces non-interference. So for now, we need VPNs.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, more than 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have been killed by Israel Defense Forces while 1,139 Israelis have been killed by Hamas.

Nearly 70% of Palestinians killed have been women and children.

I agree with some of these things.

Left vs Right is a distraction.
The fight for a better life is Top vs Bottom.

Next time you take a break from licking the boot, read a history book. Do you know how many corpses are in the ground today because a few folks said, “We shouldn’t have to work seven days a week.” A fucking lot.

Thanks to them, we have the concept of “weekends”.

Change is written in blood.

This is not a one-off example, there are thousands.

That is reality. Welcome to it.
