Except it isn’t, because you have to access the data of that GPS receiver somehow.

I’m so fed up with people having this misconception that GPS somehow on its own exfiltrates one’s position. It doesn’t. You’re literally just using a pre-defined arrangement of satellites that broadcast their IDs to establish location. It’s entirely local because GPS signal is only received by people.

So no, just by having GPS, you can’t be found by anyone. Not even governments or the CIA.

Now, if that GPS receiver feeds into a smart system that is exposed to the internet… that is a different topic as there’s tons of ways to have apps preinstalled and pre-approved that can read the GPS receiver data and send it off to a third party. It can even be built into the OS.

However, permanently internet connected cars aren’t that widespread even today - most actually tend to rely on the driver’s phone and runs a very thin layer of smart stuff that simply enables the phone to use the car dashboard as a terminal.

The name “Femerator” is especially funny after you read “I Will Break You” by Gigi Styx. One of the primary trigger warnings of the book is “inappropriate use of a thigh bone”.

Who the fuck are these people even?

It should’ve made it incredibly clear who’s who on the list of “thinking too much of the children”.

I wish Prowlarr supported having a pool of generic indexers that are regularly speed tested and only the top X are used for actual queries (one random query an hour to check response time shouldn’t hurt, and external searches can also provide for this statistic), either based on count/percentage or maximum response time.

That would alleviate the long queries on a very dynamic approach.

Damn you Hitler, not again!

Bay leaves are technically not that edible. You can’t really digest them, they’re pretty tough even after hours of cooking, and are mainly used for their intensive flavour…

So, no, it’s actually neither edible nor healthy.

Fuck band names, this is Heated Rivalry from Temu.

I actually have different problems with Chaptarr aside from it being vibe coded.

Generally, I don’t have an issue with vibe coding - as long as it’s not the average person’s Star Trek level depiction of asking the computer an overly simplified request which it then successfully extrapolates into a fully working solution. AI aided development isn’t an issue really as long as the developer knows what they want to achieve and HOW to do it, and utilising AI to do the heavy lifting.

No, my problem with Chaptarr is the general approach of the maintainer. It’s a fork of Readarr (clearly visible from the logs), which was licenced under GPLv3, which in turn requires any forks (derivatives) to publish source code. Now, RLH has been providing Docker images only, claiming “the code is too messy to publish” whenever asked, meaning there’s absolutely no oversight as to what is actually happening inside, what’s been modified and so on.

Furthermore he modified the metadata server format, without publishing it, then created two separate APIs for it, which you have to manually edit after install (and this is hidden in the FAQs on Discord), that metadata server is incredibly limited (because it’s supposed to be for “testing only”), and there’s no option to use your own either, as the API contract has changed.

RLH is also pretty opaque about updates, sometimes you get a flurry of updates within a few hours, sometimes you’re sitting around for weeks without any changes being pushed. He’s also been pretty shady, randomly making the DockerHub images available to anyone then restricting it, and I’ve also heard about random bans of people on Discord who dared to question him (although this is only hearsay, I have not witnessed any bans myself, so take this with a pinch of salt).

Overall the whole project is super shady and even if I presume the best intentions, the continued GPL licence violation with various quality issue excuses alone is enough for me to stay far away from it - even if I appreciate some of the QoL changes I’ve seen when I trialled it.

Sorry sir, we only ship packages either East to West, or West to East.

Well at least if we were on the Stargate timeline, we’d have:

• SG1
• the literal city of Atlantis (seriously, like, when can I move in?)
• if all else fails, plan C(4)

Has the accuracy of the snapshots actually changed based on this edit? After all, if it’s factual information being presented…

I do agree that it raises the issue of what other modifications there may be, and it IS childish, but so is going after a person who provides a good service and wants to remain anonymous while doing so.

All I’m saying is that while I do not agree with the actions, I also am not saying I don’t understand the reasoning behind.

Dunno if I would call it “behaving poorly”.

The blogger in question doxxed the owner/maintainer of Archive.today who in return doxxed the blogger. To me this sounds more like eye for an eye FAFO.

And that also makes him the greatest artist.

I mean consider this… using nothing but the concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his own grey matter as paint, and his trusty sidearm as a brush, he created the most impactful painting of humanity.

If you read the post, it basically boils down to:

• the Lemmy instance crashing
• the primary admin (whom would have system level access, not just admin role assigned in the Lemmy instance itself) hasn’t been heard from since last October

sadly it’s not uncommon for open source devs and maintainers to “disappear” from the community - a lot of these people do not share what they do with their friends and family, at least not the friends and family that could take over or even take steps in case of their passing. Accidents do happen, so do random events, so it’s perfectly possible for such an admin to pass due to some unforeseen reason, and have nobody within their immediate circles who even knew about their role in maintaining the instance.

Now now, come on, there’s at least about 3000 of those fuckers, let’s not let some of the greedy cunts get away with it!

No, Harry, yer an alcoholic

It’s even more dumbass to show her as an alt, punk-goth girl when pretty much every representative of those subcultures is staunchly against alt-right BS. Especially the immigration paranoia.
