Disabled Amazon workers in corporate jobs allege ‘systemic discrimination’

Disabled corporate workers at Amazon have accused the company of engaging in “systemic discrimination”, aggressively quashing their attempts to organize, and using artificial intelligence systems that they allege do not comply with US disability laws.

At the center of the Amazon workers’ complaints are allegations that the company has denied requests for accommodations for disabled staff in an “automated” or “semi automated” way and have allegedly repeatedly removed messages and a petition from an employee Slack channel.

Amazon disputes allegations that it discriminates against disabled workers.

A 31 May letter sent on behalf of a group of more than 200 disabled workers to top executives, including Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy, claimed the company was fundamentally out of step with federal requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the 1990 civil rights law that protects people against discrimination based on disabilities.

I have made a formal complaint to the BBC which you can through their site and I recommend others to do so to. I labelled it as factual inaccuracy and written the following:

In a statement about Bob Vylan at Glastonbury it was stated: 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves.'
Nothing they said were antisemitic. Being critical of governing state's military killing innocent people is not the same as hating an ethnic group. This is slander to pose it as such and I am appalled at the BBC for thinking it should be. As well as thinking that such criticisms should not be live on air.
Being critical of Israel as a state is not the same as hating Jewish people as an ethnicity. Thus NOT antisemitic. It is anti-zionist at best if you are searching for a more valid label.
The BBC are meant to be impartial but this statement shows otherwise to the highest order.

Do What You Love

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.

My dad used to say this to me. He didn’t come up with it of course. Searching for the source, I see attribution to Marc Anthony. How it came to be a 70-80 year old man was quoting a singer to me I’d bet money he’d never heard, I’ll never know. Maybe he didn’t either.

The basic idea behind the quote is that what you’re doing won’t feel like work if it’s something you love doing anyway. I mean, think of the thing you want to be doing right now instead of reading this post. Your favorite thing in the world. Now, along comes some idiot who offers to pay you to do that very thing! How can you possibly say no?

There’s a darker aspect to this quote that I don’t think people consider though. If you take the thing you love and do that for work, you’re turning what you love into a job. This is a trap that I’ve fallen into. Multiple times.

Seems like an odd place to post this but I'll bite.

Even the things I love doing involve work. If I want to do some sewing I still need to tidy up before and afterwards, for example, or spend time pinning stuff (and then taping up the numerous stab wounds). It's a bit reductive.

Instead I try to get paid for things that require minimal emotional "work" from me - that is to say, things that don't leave me sapped of energy to work on my passion projects. I don't dislike what I am paid to do but I'm not super enthused about it. That means that when I'm done working I've still got the creative juice to work on stuff I actually want to do.

If instead I have to spend my working days pushing myself through stuff then I tend to be left with nothing in the tank, even if I still have time left at the end of the day. Instead I get paid to do something I'm good at but that doesn't usually involve extended periods of advanced problem solving or frequent uphill battles of effort (there's always a bit, of course, it's not a perfect solution!). That isn't to say what I do is easy, but much of the stuff involved is stuff I've been doing for twenty years so is comparatively easy for me.

It was around long, long before Marc Anthony. Also, you are being way too cynical. It's really just saying that if ya can, you should try to make a living out of something you are passionate about.

Yes, there are people who love what they do for a living so much, that they never wanna quit doing it. I am one of them. I own my own company.

Think of musicians, or actors. Some of them legit love what they are doing and never wanna stop doing it. My grandfather owned an Antique store. His entire life was that store and even when he was in the hospital, he was trying to get back to his Antique shop ASAP. My father was same way. And it's probably why I own my own company.

New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After Clash

Ah, sorry to read - I like the idea of Bcachefs and would have been happy to have it ready for production eventually.

OTOH it seems the recent years I read more about the drama about Bcachefs commits to the kernel, than about any technical parts of Bcachefs.

There is in this case, and why Linus did accept the patch in the end. Previous cases less so though which is why Linus is so pissed at this one.

The reason for this new feature is to help fix data loss on users systems - which is a fine line between a bug and a new feature really. There is precedent for this type on thing in RC releases from other filesystems as well. So the issue in this instance is a lot less black and white.

That doesn't excuse previous behaviour though.

Reading all the comments (between Kent and Linux), the problem is that the bcachefs dev thinks that his project (the filesystem) is the critically important one and that the Linux kernel needs to bend to his will.

I am a bcachefs user but it is pretty damn obvious to me that the production Linux kernel is more important than an experimental filesystem.

Yeah, this one is on Kent... again.

He posted on Patreon that there'll be a DKMS module. In my opinion, this should have been the option from the very beginning and upstreaming at a later point in time. It would have avoided a lot of drama. And now bcachefs is kind of tainted. The only way I ever see it back in mainline is there is an independent downstream of Kent's kernel that has no connection to him whatsoever.

Shame because I had very good experience with the filesystem. Definitely better than when btrfs was new. But Linus is unfortunately right; Kent is unable to follow agreed collaboration rules.

Unfortunate situation that could have been avoided entirely. Though I don't want to be too harsh on Kent. He spent a lot of time and work on bcachefs and it's his most important project. As such, he's more passionate about all of this. But the same can be said for Linus and the kernel on the other side.

It's an interesting filesystem, but you shouldn't use it at this point unless you know what the hell you're doing. You'll need to be able to notice, report and help resolve bugs, and under no circumstances use it for production or where you can't afford to lose some or all of the data on the partition.

in reply to MartianSands • 2 mesi fa • •

Filesystems are incredibly antiquated, and while I don't agree with Kent's attitude, it is very important in the long run that filesystems catch back up.

As it stands just about any enterprise system you can poke a stick at is rolling their own customised file storage system, with a traditional filesystem typically being a misshapen dead weight sitting somewhere in the middle of it - existing because it's the only thing the kernel can integrate with.

It is pretty important that this trend reverses, and bcachefs was a big step in the right direction. Unfortunate that Kent is the way he is.

Elon Musk’s ‘America’ party could focus on a few pivotal congressional seats

The new US political party that Elon Musk has boasted about bankrolling could initially focus on a handful of attainable House and Senate seats while striving to be the decisive vote on major issues amid the thin margins in Congress.
Tesla and SpaceX’s multibillionaire CEO mused about that approach on Friday in a post on X, the social media platform he owns, as he continued feuding with Donald Trump over the spending bill that the president has signed into law. On Saturday, without immediately elaborating, the former Trump adviser announced on X that he had created the so-called America party.
“One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,” wrote Musk, who is the world’s richest person and oversaw brutal cuts to the federal government after Trump’s second presidency began in January. “Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring they serve the true will of the people.”

Ross Perot already tried this gambit. Billions of dollars can't buy a political party starting from scratch. Musk has always been more successful as an investor who turns around and claims to be the founder.

Not to mention, Fox News will no doubt find any snippet they can to tear him down after being the golden boy for a while.

I point this out because I think he can only pull from non-MAGA conservatives, and I've no idea what his approval rating is amongst them. The rest of us know he's a drug-addled Nazi.

A phased start makes logical sense instead of trying to build out a 50-state network Day 1. But I see no way to critical mass, even at the congressional district level, for a win as opposed to being a spoiler.

It is great. I actually was a heavy critic of pulseaudio and stuck with ALSA on my desktop for as long as I could (until last year) by using Gentoo with USE="alsa -pulseaudio", the X-Fi's hardware mixing and automatic S/PDIF passthrough.

I tried to switch to pulseaudio a couple of times whenever I read one of those "it's good now, trust me bro" articles, but it wasn't, ever. It had and still has a huge amount of hard-coded, opinionated, often perplexing, behavioral quirks that made it feel like it just fought me every step of the way.

Pipewire on the other hand does not only have saner defaults, almost everything is softcoded with a great Lua plugin API. Don't like a default routing choice or want to automate your own, Wireplumber got you covered. Last year my X-Fi failed (or rather got flakey) and I had to choose between buying another used one or moving to PW. Almost everything worked out of the box on PW the way I like it, except a few details which were almost all covered by the settings. For the last problem, encoded streams not clearing the output, I wrote my own routing plugin.

The documentation for that API isn't necessarily the best, but it's easy to start from something small and work your way to understanding how to get the result you want.

Its your DE that controls the volume steps, if that's what you're asking. On Ubuntu its shift + volume.

in reply to MonkderVierte • 2 mesi fa • •

If it's a pure DAC, it's default output will likely be between 1 to 2 Volts RMS. If your listening on iems or ~30 Ohm headphones that is gonna be crazy loud. It seems like you are using digital audio control to manage this (i.e., the audio level in your DE), which is possible, but certainly not ideal. It also is kinda bad for the audio quality, as you are digitally remixing it, and if you ever switch to high impedance headphones (or already have), the output current will be sub-ideal.

If I'm assessing your situation correctly, then this is quite easy to solve though. You just need a preamp! This will give a nice knob to control audio with much more precision and finesse. I know that both JDS Labs and Schiit Audio offer headphone amps with built in preamps in the USA. I can highly recommend the JDS Labs Atom Amp 2. In Europe your a little more limited, but FiiO has some nice options I think.

Of course none of this is necessary if you don't want audiophile levels of quality, but it would boost the audio quality (presuming your DAC doesn't have a proper preamp), and would certainly give you a tactile, wonderful knob.

I can certainly attest that my HD600s sound quite a bit better out of a JDS Labs Atom Amp 2 than out of just my DAC or—god forbid—my Mobo audio... They sound even better out of my vintage 100W Onkyo amp, of course, but really not by much. I am really impressed by the Atom Amp. I initially just bought it for travelling, but it has now basically become my main amp lol.

Okay, ramble over.

I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I'm holding that button down.

Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

Hi!. Currently running Linux Mint 22.1, but i suspect it's not strictly a distro issue. This laptop was running VERY well but was outdated, running Mint 19.3, some things were unable to be installed because the system libraries were old (didn't expect Calibre to be one of them, figures), so i updated all the way to that moment's current version which was Mint 21.3. All of a sudden it felt like the laptop got downgraded two whole computer tech generations. As soon as i ask it to do something mildly complicated that made it break no sweat on Mint 19, it gets VERY slow, all the cores start running at max, system load increases, until it finishes doing whatever it was doing several minutes later, something between a couple of minutes when lucky, to 20 or more. Typically what triggers the issue is something on the browser (what i use the most on the computer is browser tabs and lots of terminals) but not exclusively. Thought it was the browser but replicated it on an empty Firefox profile, and has triggered with simpler stuff like the Discord client. Been trying to find the issue for a while trying to avoid a full reinstall, no luck so far.

If i were to describe how it feels, it's like there was a bottleneck on tasks being done by the system, as soon as you ask it to do something mildly complex it chokes on it and tasks accumulate. No idea if it's some kind of kernel misconfiguration, if it's some hardware incompatibility, or something else entirely, checking the changelogs of Mint all the way between 19.3 and 21.3 showed nothing i could pin this onto (or at least nothing i could notice).

The nuclear option would be a brand new blank install but I'd MUCH rather avoid that if possible, made the comfortable but now unwise choice of a single partition for everything (instead of a separate /home and whatnot as i used to do) so reinstallation would wipe it completely, if i must then i must but much rather not.

Would welcome VERY much ideas on stuff to check or try.

Edit: It's got an NVME drive, which seems to be healthy as far as i can see

Edit: When it happens it doesn't seem to matter how much RAM is free, seen it happen with only 8 of the 32Gb of RAM in use and zero swap

Edit: Found a great way to describe how it feels like: Have you done heavy video encoding on a computer that's adequate for the task but not more than that, and noticed how everything in it stalls heavily, even if there's plenty of RAM free and the computer feels like it's giving everything to that task only? Pretty much that, but for nearly everything even moderately heavy

GE-Proton10-6 and GE-Proton10-7 Released

HOTFIX: GE-Proton10-7:

Re-added the PROTON_PREFER_SDL option. When this envvar is set steam input and hidraw are disabled so that SDL takes priority over controller support.

HOTFIX (GE-Proton10-6):

The wine-wayland patches needed rebasing and needed force pushing due to a problem with a few commits in them noted by the author that can cause some crashing, making GE-Proton10-5 version invalid.

The 10-5 release was reverted due to the force push per the request of the wine-wayland patch set author, thus the version bumped to 10-6. It's one of those view weird instances where you will see a version missing in the releases. (This also happened in the past with media foundation stuff that Valve yelled at me about). Oopsie.

Changelog (GE-Proton10-5):

Nothing too major here, mostly just an update to upstream's code since it's been about 30 days.

Wine-wayland patches have been updated/rebased, should fix some nvidia crashes, and no longer need this mesa patch: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…

I installed that today. Finally! Years after GE release, I managed to install it with the help of an AI bc nobody explains anything properly, except for the AI.
Hopefully with GE I'll stop seeing 130 GB log files from Forza 5. 😂

9950x3d cache optimizations on Linux?

I'm considering getting a 9950x3D on either Monday or Tuesday at a Micro Center as a upgrade to my current setup. My main question is, how is the experience with the 9950x3D on Linux with strange architecture with half of the cores having extra L3 cache and the other half with a normal amount of L3 cache.

I have been busy working and suddenly there's been a promotion for the 9950x3D that I want to take advantage of since my motherboard on my current system has been deteriorating as of late. Asrock x570 Extreme4 with a 3700x. USB has been very flaky and I've been dual boating and the other SSD slot is on the chipset. Which makes my windows boot incredibly slow.

I plan to stay on Arch Linux or hop over to CachyOS but want to know what are your thoughts on this as well?

I primarily game but occasionally do some video/audio encoding, video editing and want to build ffmpeg-full from the aur but takes too long on my 3700X.

I've only been able to read/watch three mediums level1tech, and two Phoronix articles, but haven't mental capacity to register and remember everything.

I watched the Ryzen 9950x3D? On Linux video by Level1tech. And one of the things he mentions is gamemode. Is it recommended.

As for the Phoronix articles one is the review of the 9950x3D and the other is the cache optimization driver.

By default for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D it was using the "frequency" preference as default. But if writing "cache" to /sys/bus/platform/drivers/amd_x3d_vcache/AMDI0101:00/amd_x3d_mode it will prefer using the CCD with the larger cache. This cache vs. frequency bias can all be easily manipulated at run-time for those interested.

Is there some sort of automation for this? Or, do I have to do it manually for each program? I've never messed with kernel parameters other than for my Nvidia GPU to get Wayland to work.

I'm sorry that this question feels very unorganized. I just don't have time to write a proper one. I'll be able to reply on my next break.

Thank you for your help.

L3 cache is a hardware level function so unless the application like memtest86+ tells the cpu not to cache, everything is cached.

There are games that is so memory intensive when it comes to IO/s , that the cache plays a smaller role, like “X4: Foundations“.

/sys/bus/platform/drivers/amd_x3d_vcache/AMDI0101 is a global function. You can use ‘taskset’ to set cpu affinity at launch of application.

If it helps, I wrote a KDE widget to switch between the modes: github.com/Steve-Tech/KDE-AMD-…

Screenshot of the KDE X3D Mode widget

My understanding is amd_x3d_mode basically prioritises what cores the scheduler will assign tasks to.
I usually keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.

Isn't gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.

I'd sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!

Advice on migrating from Ubuntu server to another server OS

Hi all. I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.

Currently I'm considering switching to Fedora server (though feedback is welcome) because I've been running it as my daily OS for a few months now and I quite like it. I'm also looking at Debian server because that's what my old professor used and he did nothing but speak its praises.

Only issue is I'm concerned about data loss from moving the installation. Currently, the server is setup to run several Docker images running my programs. While moving over the images shouldn't be difficult whatsoever, I'm afraid my storage setup might not be so easy. Currently, it's two 4TB hard drives running in a logical volume. I'd love to simply be able to move over all the files to a backup drive, but I don't have anywhere I can store >5TB of files as a backup.

I googled around, but I couldn't find too many guides on migrating logical volumes. The one or two I did find were most definitely written for someone with far more linux knowledge than I have as a relative noob, so any advice would be extremely welcome!

Fedora is great if you want a faster rolling release and you're already familiar with it.

Debian is great if you want a slower release schedule but stable LTS.

Two different use-cases, but both great options.

Can you detail the storage and is drives and mounts as well as the lvm structure? Knowing that will help people give useful advice.

in reply to harsh3466

in reply to harsh3466 • 2 mesi fa • •

Currently it's 2 4TB harddrives setup to look like a single 8TB logical volume. Might have to do some poking around if you want more, just setting that up required a ton of googling on my end!

in reply to kboy101222

harsh3466

in reply to kboy101222 • 2 mesi fa • •

Okay, more details will be required, but here's what I'm thinking will work.

One of the benefits of an LVM is its pretty easy to resize it.

The outline of what you can do is this (and we can refine the steps with more details)

Right now you've got your 8TB physical volume, and within that, you should have your volume group, and within that volume group, you should have one or more logical volums that are mounted for your system. The idea is to resize the existing logical volume by shrinking it, creating addition space within the volume group that can be used to create a new logical volume. Then, that new logical volume can be used to install Fedora.

Depending on how much free space you have on the entire physical volume, you could potentially dual boot Fedora and Ubuntu. Roughly speaking, the steps would look like this:

WARNING: These steps are not exhaustive because I don't know the full details of your system. This is not meant to be a guide for you to immediately implement and follow, but to help get you down the right path DO NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS WITHOUT FIRST FULLY UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS WILL APPLY TO YOUR UNIQUE SYSTEM SETUP.

Download a Linux ISO of your choice. Ubuntu, Fedora, it doesn't really matter. This one is going to be used to live boot on your server so you can make adjustments to your lvm without having the lvm mounted.
Boot into the live usb
Once you get to the desktop environment of the live usb dismiss any installation prompts, etc and open a terminal
Install the logical volume tools with sudo whatever-the-package-manager-install-command-is lvm2
If your volume group is encrypted (typically with LUKS), you'll need to decrypt it to make sizing changes to the lvm(s) in the volume group. You can decrypt it with:
1. cryptsetup open /dev/your-disk-here name-of-your-volume-group
2. For example, on my system if I were doing this it would be cryptsetup open /dev/nvme0n1p2 server (I very creatively named my server volume group server)
Once you can access your volume group, you can use the df command to see how much space is free in your volume group. The full command you'll want to run is:
1. sudo df -h
2. This command will list all mounted disks along with filesystem usage data. With this you should be able to determine how much free space you have in your volume group.
Once you've determined how much free space you have, you can decide how big you want to make your new logical volume. For example, if your current usage is 6TB out of the 8TB total, you could resize the current logical volume down to 7TB, and then create a new logical volume that's 1TB in size for the Fedora install
You will do the resize using the lvm2 tools installed. The command to shrink the logical volume looks like this:
1. sudo lvreduce --resizefs --size -1TB /dev/your-volume-group/the-lvm-name
Once you've shrunk the lvm, You can create your new lvm

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If at all possible, you should really back up the data. If you don't have any kind of backups in place, you're risking losing all of your data, not just in doing this operation, but in general.
If you want to dual boot, things are more complicated because of where your /boot exists

in reply to kboy101222 • 2 mesi fa • •

Perfect. So you've got separate /boot and /boot/efi partitions, which means dual booting will be much easier if you want to do that.

The ubuntu--vg-ubuntu-lv is the logical volume you'll want to resize. So now we need to see how much space is available on the volume. To get that, run the command sudo df -h and paste that output into a comment.

From there we can figure out how much space you have and how you might want to resize the volume to prep for a new install.

What is challenging about this is that your data is under your root (/) mount, which is also the ubuntu os. If in the end you want to entirely remove ubuntu, it'll be a little trickier than if your data was in a separate logical volume that you mounted into your root system during boot.

For example many people have a separate logical volume for /home, which makes it easier to switch distros while preserving your home folder with all of your user data, config files, etc...

But that's getting a little ahead of ourselves. Start with sudo df -h for the filesystem usage info and we can go from there.

I think basically all Linux distros will support lvm? It seems like some installers do not, but as long as you leave the disks alone during installation it should be fine. As for distro, Debian is a great choice for a server. I've had no issues over the years since I ditched Ubuntu since they keep moving towards commercialization. If you want to learn more compared to Ubuntu you might not learn much though. Fedora could offer more learning, though honestly it's kind of all the same.

Another point to keep in mind - many distros now ship Podman instead of Docker, with Fedora being at the forefront of that change. If you‘re currently running Docker, you might want to check if your setup is drop-in compatible with Podman as some images will not work (usually related to permission or user switching, privileged ports).

What are you hoping to explore? Distrohopping servers is pretty much pointless, especially if you're using docker.

Like you're going to use dnf to install docker instead of apt, maybe configure selinux instead of apparmor, and that's it. Definitely not worth it IMO.

This is the answer OP, your flavor of Linux matters when it’s your daily driver work/play machine. But for a server OS? You’re not missing anything using Ubuntu, and your experience won’t change much with another distro.

If you want to use it as a server, Fedora is annoying because the support lifetimes are so short.

If you want the Fedora / Red Hat experience, consider Alma Linux. Skills wise, it is like using Res Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) which is an in-demand skill set.

in reply to kboy101222

For a server os, do things like consider stability and ease of upgrading between major versions.

Debian does both of those things extremely well.

If you're playing around with changing distros and your data is valuable, I'd try and find somewhere to back it up to, myself.

log into multiple google account in thunderbird

What information I might leak to google server if I issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird? ip of course but what else might be collected? It would be really great if someone could clarify whether the information below will be send to google when using their email service even through Thunderbird
- device name
- device model
- ...

My main concern is that google will be able to know that I have logged into the same device with different accounts.

In addition, I plan to use VPN when using one google account but not the others. This can be achieved through profiling, but is there an option that I can simply manage all the accounts in one app but without my ip address being collected by several specific email service provider corresponding to several specific email?

The big issue is its very easy to leak information that ties all three of your accounts together effectively doxxing yourself to google.

For example one way is to hash your phones non hardware identifiers and then correlate any accounts that have this same hash.

Actually being progressive to get women's attention and tell them about how lucky they are that he's not like these other closed minded men can certainly be used to control a woman. I highly recommend reading "Why does he do that? Inside the mind of angry and controlling men" by Lundy Bancroft.

I had to admit that I had been controlling of my wife for years and didn't even realize I was doing it. Sometimes I try to cling to my old ideas and dismiss this stuff but I really can't.

There's a huge difference between being progressive to attract women and being progressive and noticing that some women find that attractive. I'm glad you were able to work out/are working on your demons. I don't appreciate being accused of the same based on a comment that only relates to your situation if you make significant assumptions.

"Straight pride" isn't a thing. It's purely a reactionary response to gay pride.

The point of gay pride is for gay people to show that they're not afraid to be who they are in the face of systematic discrimination. It is specifically countering the culture of gay shame that had been the norm in the past. Straight people are already the overwhelming majority and have never been oppressed for their sexual orientation. There's was never any shame associated with it so it makes no sense to proclaim that you're "proud" to be straight.

It's like someone who finished a marathon expressing their pride for their accomplishment, and some loser who has to make everything about themselves says "well I sat on my ass all day and I deserve to be proud of that too!"

The issue is not that it's not okay to be proud of being straight, you're welcome to feel pride all you want. The issue is when you but into someone else's moment and make it about yourself.

Reading it back I can see how I might have come off as arguing with the OP. I had just intended to add some context in general around why "straight pride" isn't a generally accepted thing but gay pride is, because whenever this comes up you usually get at least one person asking "what, so we're supposed to be ashamed of being straight now? That's just discrimination in reverse!”

lemm.ee has shut down at 00:14 UTC.

unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead.

~~hmm that's interesting because I did not have a lemm.ee account! 😁~~ just 3 tons of links to it.

edit: I misunderstood it, no I didn't have an account there

also in the meantime I did some research. it turns out I was probably remembering the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher userscript: greasyfork.org/en/scripts/4692…

it can look up posts by their activitypub id, which is the de-facto ID of a post, that is same across all instances. this ID is the url of the content on the original instance. so, the following could be an activitypub id, if the post was actually created on lemm.ee: lemm.ee/post/64477597

to look up a post by this, the userscript uses the /api/v3/resolve_object API endpoint.
it searches your local instance, and if you are authenticated it also queries the host in the url, lemm.ee in this example. but of course this remote query does not work anymore.

now here comes the twist. I know I always read lemmy through sh.itjust.works, so whatever I saved should be known by this server. and the link that I save, often does not point to the origin instance, because clients work that way.
so it seems 2 lemm.ee links that I tried to look up were not actually posted there, because bmy server does not know a post that has this ap id, I just somehow got a link that points to the lemm.ee version of that post or comment........

Fortunately the messaging app I misuse for link collection always loads the title and image of the webpage, so by some manual work I should be able to find the actual links to each of them.

Not quite. If your comments federated out to an instance that either a) doesn’t get the delete request or b) ignores the delete request, your comments will very much stay out there in the fedeverse with not much you can do. Yes posts on the original instance may be gone, but anything that get pushed out via ActivityPub is a crap shoot.

in reply to ramble81

Dave

in reply to ramble81 • 2 mesi fa • •

Yes with ActivityPub there's always failed federation. But Lemmy will send the delete request out when you delete your account. Other software or instances might not honour it, but the intent is there.

As opposed to reddit who do not remove comments when an account is deleted, only mark it as a comment from a deleted account.

I'm not against Lemmy's implementation, but it does require you to collect information you need at the time not assume it will always be there.

At the very least, social networks like this really need a two server type system: the authenticator who identifies that you are really who you say you are and handles personal settings, communication, and access to the fediverse, and the content provider that hosts the communities.

What do you mean? The authenticator instance could ban users, the moderators and the content provider instances could ban users, content provider instances could defederate from authenticator instances and viceversa.

Not sure I'm seeing the issue you are seeing, it's just basically forcing lemmy instances to instead of being both to just be one or the other. The benefit is that the actions on one is free from the drama on the other. One would be dedicated to hosting users, the other would be dedicated to hosting communities, less burnout overall.

Complete bans (at the home instance level) would require synchronization between the content provider instance and the authenticator instance.

Mod actions are caused by users comments on content, so the two aspects are closely intertwined, you can't dissociate the content from the users.

At the moment, admins synchronize in a group to deal with toxic users, usually leading to the ban of those users on their home instance. Having a split between two types of admins adds an additional layer that could actually increase the admins workload.

Ferk

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • 2 mesi fa • •

Since he said that the authenticator is the one that handles the communication & access, I expect banning the person from the authenticator would already automatically prevent anyone using that authenticator (or any other authenticator federating with it) from seeing the content.

As I understand it, the only thing the content provider would do is hosting the data. But access to that data would be determined by the service doing the access control, in the same way current instances are doing it.

Hosting involves removal of content, which is triggered by actions performed by users.

At the moment, if a Lemmy.world user spams CSAM content everywhere, other admins can reach out to the LW admins, they ban the users and purge the content.

In a users/content model, with Lemmy.users and Lemmy.world still being the content, other admins have to reach out to the Lemmy.users instance, get them banned, then to the Lemmy.world admins to trigger the purge of the content on the communities.

On top of that, it is currently recommended to mod from local accounts, as report federation will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0, not released yet: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issu…

The main part of the "admin burnout" comes from the management of users. There isn't really that much to manage on the content part that isn't linked to users.

Hosting involves removal of content

Exactly. That means instances would not longer have that responsibility. That would be on the hosting service, meaning less pressure for the instance. Once they ban the user, the content would not be shown, it would be purged from the federating network of that instance, regardless of whether the hosting service actually deletes it or not (but I expect it would be better if the protocol makes it so banning a user sends a notification to the hosting service).

At the moment, if a Lemmy.world user spams CSAM content everywhere, other admins can reach out to the LW admins, they ban the users and purge the content.

It's more complex than that, at the moment, because the purge also involves mirrored content in other federating instances. The interesting part is that after it's triggered, then the process is pretty much automatic. When purging, Lemmy.world admins don't have to manually go around asking to all the other instances to delete the content. The purge request is currently being notified automatically to instances federating with it. Why would it be any different for a content hosting service?

What that means is that on top of your Lemmy.user account, you would need a Lemmy.content account that would be able to fully moderate the community as a local account. Users don't like to juggle between different accounts to moderate and participate.

Imho, it comes down to how much you care about the content of the community you are building. The reason I'm in lemmy.ml and not some smaller instance is because of problems like the ones showcased here.

If I could self-host my own content I would not mind being somewhere else. In fact, I'm considering setting up something through brid.gy. The fact that there isn't a separation of the hosting means that if I want to secure my content I need to have my own 1-person instance which is not something the protocol is very well suited for. Plus it's likely most lemmy instances would not federate with it anyway since, understandably, they may prefer an allowlist approach rather than blocklist. The only sane way would be to have the instances have full control of the access as they are now, with storage being in a separate service that can be managed separately, the hosting service.

it is currently recommended to mod from local accounts

Would this change at all if there was a hosting service?

I expect you would still be recommended to mod from local accounts (the "authenticator"), even if the content hosting was a separate service. The local account would continue being the primary source of access to the content.. note that having a separate hosting service doesn't mean that the hosting service must be the one managing access to the content from the fediverse.

Quite a few instances are managed by non-profits which are much less prone to service disruptions, like fedecan.ca/en/ for lemmy.ca.

Isn't that contradictory with the users - content separation?

note that having a separate hosting service doesn’t mean that the hosting service must be the one managing access to the content.

That seems contradictory with the previous point. My understanding was that
- users would use Lemmy.user accounts to browse content (this is the recommended way to avoid user management for the content instance admins)
- mods would use Lemmy.content accounts to moderate communities (users would have to switch to those type of accounts from the first type if they want to start / mod a community)

Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Then I think we had a different understanding. My understanding was something akin to what bluesky does with the PDS, the data service just hosts data and hands it over to the other service which is the one actually doing the indexing of that data and aggregating it into communities. The data of the community might be hosted in the hosting services, but it's accessed, indexed and aggregated through the authentication service.

The access management, the accounts, the distribution of data, etc. that's still in the server managing the federation. That's the way I understood it, at least (I'm not the person that originally started this train, that was @TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca ).

This allows the content to potentially not be completely lost if an instance dies because it would be easier to carry your data to another instance without losing it. It's the same principle as in bluesky but applied to the fediverse.

Complete bans (at the home instance level) would require synchronization between the content provider instance and the authenticator instance.

What are you referring to as a ban? Complete bans already require synchronization between different federated instances. Sometimes the home instance of a user is unable to entirely delete the content of a user because of it.

Mod actions are caused by users comments on content, so the two aspects are closely intertwined, you can’t dissociate the content from the users.

Not really. Mod actions are over a community, not user history. They are perfectly able to remove user comments within their community, and since they are the authoritative source that controls whom it is spread to that has greater influence. That never stops the same content by the same user from appearing elsewhere.

At the moment, admins synchronize in a group to deal with toxic users, usually leading to the ban of those users on their home instance.

They would still do the same, but the "usually leading to the ban of those users" perhaps does more to reveal what your actual problem is than anything else. You and me will have to disagree, because admins should not be authoritarian figures, but should only have control within their domain.

If they want to administrate over a group of users, they can have control over which users are and aren't allowed over that particular group. They can issue their own warnings to users.
If they want to administrate over communities, they can have control over which communities are allowed and how users are allowed to interact with those. They can remove users from those communities entirely.

The small but loud minority of toxic users can just have their authentication instances defederated if those instances refuse to do anything with them. If it is an authentication instance doing the defederation, then it will affect all of their users. If it is a content provider instance, it will affect all of their communities. In the current system, it does both because both are coupled into the same instance, so it's even compatible with it.

It stops bad faith actors from trying to pollute communities to slur entire instances, like lemm.ee or blahaj, because of their problems with their userbase, by simply stopping it from being an issue. Administrators don't have to worry about policing communities or users if they don't want to, they would be able to better choose whom they are catering to without bad faith backlash elsewhere.

Almost nothing of the current structure changes, except that dedicated instances have the functionality they don't need disabled. Both can still block each other to their heart's content, and if your problem is having more "splits" - that is literally what federated instances are, there can always be more ... Maybe your problem is with the fediverse and its distributed nature? You are making it out to be as if there is only ever a big bad group of toxic users and that all administrators always completely agree on all bans to make your argument work. At that point, just create your own reddit clone.

I had a second look, and instances not allowing sign up are either going to shutdown (lemmy.one) are false positives (bookwormstory.social/signup) or are single-person instances:

Why would people want to implement something they don't know the benefits of? That's what my comment and increasing awareness is all about, in a thread about an outcome that could have been prevented by the idea.

If admins goes missing like the feddit.de ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance

If admins just want to shutdown without willing to transfer the instance / domain like the lemm.ee ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance

Using instances with non profit like fedecan.ca/en/ (lemmy.ca and piefed.ca) seems a better way to mitigate that risk.

I think you are misunderstanding the problem being solved. Expecting all instances to become non-profits and manage even more responsibility exacerbates the problem and inhibits the fediverse growth. Non-profits also have their share of pitfalls and is an entirely different beast.

lemm.ee told you the reason they were shutting down - not enough people to keep the place running and burnout. I can't force you to see how minimizing and distributing responsibility helps those issues if you don't want to. Less responsibility, easier for people not to ditch projects or end them.

That has nothing to do about what they decided to do afterwards. I thank them for not transferring the instance domain to a completely different party without user consent, and people would have disagreed with that so it's best everyone found their own solution. It would even have put their account information at risk.

Lemm.ee had the option to close their registration at any time. But registrations are only one source of user management.

In a scenario where Lemm.ee would have become a content instance, but kept their federation policy, they would still have received all the reports about posts on the communities they hosted, wherever the reported user comes from.

Lemm.ee was the instance with the most active communities after LW, there's no way to avoid a certain level of responsibility.

Being a dedicated content instance provider would also inherently imply dedicating that instance to a certain, more controlled type of content. An authentication instance might want to cater to a geography, which will probably decide to interact with the rest of the world and to provide adequate verification and certification mechanisms. A content instance might want to cater to a geography or a subject, resulting in specialized participation, with certification and verification based on the content, not the user.

You keep seeing monolithic instances that congregate the most communities as a plus. That's a negative in my perspective on the fediverse. It shouldn't be competing reddit clones with the one having the most communities winning out.

Those control mechanisms were available to lemm.ee. There's a reason most active instances mostly defederate from certain instances.

I don't, I'm the one regularly pushing for more decentralization of communities (reddthat.com/post/20197120 , e.g. !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com vs !privacy@lemmy.ml)

But I would rather have instances use the tools they currently have (and hopefully more will come with Piefed development catching up) rather than trying to re-engineer the whole platform when some instances don't use the existing moderation tools.

Like I said, I can’t force you to see it. The fact that you think it would mean re-engineering the whole platform means you aren't getting it. It's almost literally the suggestion of least effort, it's largely an organizational change that encourages instances not to cope with more responsibility than they can deal with by encouraging decoupling the current structure into two more specialized ones.

If you want re-engineering the whole platform, then I would suggest having all instances be authentication instances and rather than "host" communities to allow users to broadcast to community labels. Have any number of moderation groups be able to be created in an organized on that label or a personalized way by allowing users to select their own curators, perhaps even extrapolating it from the downvotes of trusted users and prioritizing the ranking of those they value. Work on providing a ground.news of discussions instead of biased takes and prunings from those in charge. Allow fast tracking of moderation across these adhoc groups for specially toxic content. That would solve the problem of nobody really going from a 10000 user community that has 100 daily posts to a 10 user community with 2-3 posts a week, because they would all operate within the same community but every user would be able to customize their perspective. The risk then is to balance the bubble they've created with transparency of all the other bubbles people are creating to interact with the community. Each particular instance would be able to be as biased as it wants to particular users or groups of users, but their content would truly be broadcast and federated.

Cool, I'll come to you to check on the feelings of literally entirely everyone else when I need to. I'm glad everyone went out and got themselves a spokesman. Meanwhile, I'll point you to an earlier mention in my comments about raising awareness.

You shift into completely diametrically opposed claims whenever it seems to suit you and portray a lack of awareness and possibility as consensus in this regard. Is it "trying to re-engineer the whole platform" or is it already "possible today"? There is no use like this because without willingness, people will just set up the instances like they've been told they have and perform slight variations on them. That is no proof or argument against the idea at all from people just following the cookie cutter.

A solution to this is Nostr.
One identity across the entire network.

Twitter-like Platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Reddit-like platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

PC dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Data is sync'd across multiple relays, you can run your own, and clients are interoperable.

It's my go-to now, for everything.
A person's posts, their followers/audience, chats, etc never needs to be migrated.

Media is stored using the Blossom protocol which was created for Nostr.

V4V(Value 4 Value) is also a thing, so instead of just Likes/Reactions you can tip/Zap Sats (Bitcoin over Lightning) but that's optional.

I think this is the only thing Nostr fixes. It has a lot of other issues, I feel which makes it difficult to scale. Like you can't block anyone, just mute. It's only the text that is distributed, media is still centralized, etc.. You cant stop someone from following you. Metadata about you gets leaked to the network like who you are muting. It doesn't work well if you use two different clients, like desktop and android.

AI to make us more private?

Just listened to Naomi Brockwell talk about how AI is basically the perfect surveillance tool now.

Her take is very interesting: what if we could actually use AI against that?

Like instead of trying to stay hidden (which honestly feels impossible these days), what if AI could generate tons of fake, realistic data about us? Flood the system with so much artificial nonsense that our real profiles basically disappear in the noise.

Imagine thousands of AI versions of me browsing random sites, faking interests, triggering ads, making fake patterns. Wouldn’t that mess with the profiling systems?

How could this be achieved?

So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.

Yeah agreed. What's going on in my state of Pennsylvania is they're reopening the Three Mile Island nuclear plant out near Harrisburg for the sole reason of powering Microsoft's AI data centers. This will be Unit 1 which was closed in 2019. Unit 2 was the one that was permanently closed after the meltdown in 1979.

I'm all for nuclear power. I think it's our best option for an alternative energy source. But the only reason they're opening the plant again is because our grid can't keep up with AI. I believe the data centers is the only thing the nuke plant will power.

I've also seen the scale of things in my work in terms of power demands. I'm an industrial electrical technician, and part of our business is the control panels for cooling the server racks for Amazon data centers. They just keep buying more more and more of them, projected til at least 2035 right now. All these big tech companies are totally revamping everything for AI. Like before a typical rack section might have drawn let's say 1000 watts, now it's more like 10,000 watts. Again, just for AI.

It’s an interesting concept, but I’m not sure the payoff justifies the effort.

Even with AI-generated noise, you’re still being tracked through logins, device fingerprints, and other signals. And in the process, you would probably end up degrading your own experience; getting irrelevant ads, broken recommendations, or tripping security systems.

There’s also the environmental cost to consider. If enough people ran decoy traffic 24/7, the energy use could become significant. All for a strategy that platforms would likely adapt to pretty quickly.

I get the appeal, but I wonder if the practical downsides outweigh the potential privacy gains.

Obscuration is what you're thinking and it works with things like adnauseun (firefox add on that will click all ads in the background to obscure preference data). It's a nice way to smear the data and probably better to do sooner (while the data collection is in infancy) rather than later (where the companies may be able to filter obscuration attempts).

I like it. I am really not a fan of being profiled, collected, and categorized. I agree with others, I hate this time line. It's so uncanny.

Whatever data profile they already have on your can be obscured to make it useless vs them probably trickling in data.

They build this picture from many other sources besides ad clicks, so the point is to obscure that. Problem is, if you're only obscuring your ad click behavior, it should be relatively easy to filter out of the model.

in reply to JustinTheGM

HelloRoot

in reply to JustinTheGM • 2 mesi fa • •

You are just moving the problem one step further, but that doesn't change anything (if I am wrong please correct me).

You say it is ad behaviour + other data points.

So the picture of me they have is: [other data] + doesn’t click ads like all the other adblocker people (which is accurate)

Why would I want to change it to: [other data] + clicks ALL the ads like all the other adnauseum people (which is also accurate)

How does adnauseum or not matter? I genuinely don't get it. It's the same [other data] in both cases. Whether you click on none of the ads or all of the ads can be detected.

As a bonus, if adnauseum would click just a couple random ads, they would have a wrong assumption of my ad clicking behaviour.

But if I click none of the ads they have no accurate assumption of my ad clicking behaviour either.

Judging by incidents like the cambridge analytica scandal, the algorithms that analyze the data are sophisticated enough to differentiate your true interests, which are collected via other browsing behavious from your ad clicking behaviour if they contradict each other or when one of the two seems random.

adnauseum does not click "all the other ads", it just clicks some of them. Like normal people do. Only those ads are not relevant to your interests, they're just random, so it obscures your online profile by filling it with a bunch of random information.

Huh? No one in the Cambridge Analytica scandal was poisoning their data with irrelevant information.

I didn't mean it like that.

I meant it in an illustrative manner - the results of their mass tracking and psychological profiling analysis was so dystopian, that filtering out random false data seems trivial in comparison. I feel like a bachelor or master thesis would be enough to come up with a sufficiently precise method.

In comparison to that it seems extremely complicated to algorithmically figure out what exact customized lie you have to tell to every single inidividual to manipulate them into behaving a certain way. That probably needed a larger team of smart people working together for many years.

But ofc I may be wrong. Cheers

As far as I know, none of them had random false data so I'm not sure why you would think that?

In comparison to that it seems extremely complicated to algorithmically figure out what exact customized lie you have to tell to every single inidividual to manipulate them into behaving a certain way. That probably needed a larger team of smart people working together for many years.

I feel like you're greatly exaggerating the level of intelligence at work here. It's not hard to figure out people's political affiliations with something as simple as their browsing history, and it's not hard to manipulate them with propaganda accordingly. They did not have an "exact customized lie" for every individual, they just grouped individuals into categories (AKA profiling) and showed them a select few forms of disinformation accordingly.

Good input, thank you.

As far as I know, none of them had random false data so I’m not sure why you would think that?

You can use topic B as an illustration for topic A, even if topic B does not directly contain topic A. For example: (during a chess game analysis) "Moving the knight in front of the bishop is like a punch in the face from mike tyson."

There are probably better examples of more complex algorithms that work on data collected online for various goals. When developing those, a problem that naturaly comes up would be filtering out garbage. Do you think it is absolutely infeasable to implement one that would detect adnauseum specifically?

Sometimes yes. In this case, no.

I think the users of such products are extremely low (especially since they've been kicked from Google store) that it wouldn't be worth their time.

But no, I don't think they could either. It's just an automation script that runs actions the same way you would.

This is like chaff, and I think it would work. But you would have to deal with the fact that whatever patterns it was showing you were doing "you would be doing".

I think there are other ways that AI can be used for privacy.

For example, did you know that you can be identified by how you type/speak online? what if you filtered everything you said through an LLM first, normalizing it. Takes away a fingerprinting option. Could use a pretty small local LLM model that could run on a modest local desktop...

You would be able to do this for a short while but unless you can make an agent that's indistinguishable from you or you already have very bot-like traffic, they'd catch up pretty quickly. They aren't going to just let a trillion dollar industry die out because some bots are generating traffic.

I don't know if there's a clean way to do this right now, but I'd love to see a software project dedicated to doing this. Once a data set is poisoned it becomes very difficult to un-poison. The companies would probably implement some semi-effective but heavy-handed means of defending against it if it actually affected them, but I'm all for making them pay for that arms race.

This isn’t a very smart idea.

People trying to obfuscate their actions would suddenly have massive associated datasets of actions to sift through and it would be trivial to distinguish between the browsing behaviors of a person and a bot.

Someone else said this is like chaff or flare anti missile defense and that’s a good analog. Anti missile defenses like that are deployed when the target recognizes a danger and sees an opportunity to confuse that danger temporarily. They’re used in conjunction with maneuvering and other flight techniques to maximize the potential of avoiding certain death, not constantly once the operator comes in contact with an opponent.

On a more philosophical tip, the masters tools cannot be turned against him.

No, you can’t.

You are not the hero, effortlessly weaving down the highway between minivans on your 1300cc motorcycle, katana strapped across your back, using dual handlebar mounted twiddler boards to hack the multiverse.

If ai driven agentic systems were used to obfuscate a persons interactions online then the fact that they were using those systems would become incredibly obvious and provide a trove of information that could be easily used to locate and document what that person was doing.

But let’s assume what the op did worked, and no one could tell the difference.

That would be worse! Suddenly there’s hundreds of thousands of data points that could be linked to you and all that’s needed for a warrant are two or three that could be interpreted as probable cause of a crime!

Ok, got another one for ya based on some comments below. You have all the usual addons to block ads and such, but you create a sock-puppet identify, and use AI to "click" ads in the background (stolen from a comment) that align with that identity. You dont see the ads, but the traffic pattern supports the identity you are wearing.

So rather than random, its aligned with a fake identity.

This is a dangerous proposition.

When the dictatorship comes after you, they're not concerned about the whole of every article that was written about you All they care about are the things they see as incriminating.

You could literally take a spell check dictionary list, pull three words out of the list at random and feed it into a ollama asking for a story with your name that included the three words as major points in the story.

Even on a relatively old video card, you could probably crap out three stories a minute. Have it write them in HTML and publish the site map into major search engines on a regular basis.

<h1>Rumba's Urban Adventure</h1>

<br>Rumba was a master of <b>slangs</b>, able to effortlessly weave in and out of conversations with ease. Her superpower allowed her to manipulate language itself, bending words to her will. With a flick of her wrist, she could turn a phrase into a spell.<br>

<br>But Rumba's greatest weakness was her love of <b>bungos</b>. The more she indulged in these sweet treats, the more her powers wavered. She would often find herself lost in thought, her mind clouded by the sugary rush of bungos. Her enemies knew this vulnerability all too well.<br>

<br>Enter <b>Carbarn</b>, a villainous mastermind with a personal vendetta against Rumba. Carbarn had spent years studying the art of linguistic manipulation, and he was determined to exploit Rumba's weakness for his own gain. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a cloud of bungos, sending Rumba stumbling.<br>

<br>But Rumba refused to give up. She focused her mind, channeling the power of slangs into a counterattack. The air was filled with words, swirling and eddying as she battled Carbarn's minions. In the end, it was just Rumba and Carbarn face-to-face.<br>

<br>The two enemies clashed in a spectacular display of linguistic fury. Words flew back and forth, each one landing with precision and deadliness. But Rumba had one final trick up her sleeve - a bungo-free zone.<br>

<br>With a burst of creative energy, Rumba created a bubble of pure slangs around herself, shielding her from Carbarn's attacks. The villain let out a defeated sigh as his plan was foiled once again. And Rumba walked away, victorious, with a bag of bungos stashed safely in her pocket.<br>

Yup, you'd be surprised what you can accomplish with 10gb of VRAM and a 12b model. Hell, my profile pic (which isn't very good, tbf) was made on that 10gb VRAM card using localhosted stable diffusion. I hate big corp AI, but I absolutely love open market and open source local models. Gonna be a shame when they start to police them.

To OP: The problem is that they're looking for keywords. With the amount of people under surveillance these days, they don't give a rat's ass if you went to your favorite coffee roasting site, they want to find the stuff they don't want you to do.

Piracy? You're on a list. Any cleaning chemical that can be related to the construction of explosives? You're on a list. These lists will then tack on more keywords that pertain to that list. For example, the explosives list will then search for matching components bought within a close span of time that would indicate you're making them. Even searching for ways to enforce your privacy just makes them more interested.

So then you put out a bunch of fake data. This data happens to say you viewed a page pertaining that matching component. Whelp, that list just got hotter and now there are even more eyes on you and they're being slightly more attentive this time. Its a bad idea. The only way you're getting out of surveillance, at least online, is to never go online.

In reality, they probably won't even do anything about the above. What they really want is money. Money for your info; money to sell more things to you. They want the average home to be filled with advertisements tailored from your information. Because those adverts make those companies money, which they then use to buy more information to monetize your existence. Its the largest pyramid scheme known to humanity, and we're the unpaid grunts.

The moment the world became connected through telephones, cable TV, and then internet this scheme was already in motion way beforehand. Let's be honest, smartphones were the motherload. A TV, phone, and computer you always keep on you? They were salivating that day.

This strategy of generating fake data just doesn't work well. It requires a ton of resources to generate fake data that can't be easily filtered which ends up making the strategy non viable on most situations. Look at Mullvads DAITA and how it constantly has to be improved to fight this and, that's just for basic protection.

There is a bit of a cognitive dissonance that goes on, where people seem to understand that you are tracked constantly online and offline through all sorts of complex means but still think relatively mundane solutions could break that system.

Daily driver work-from-home on Bazzite? Or something more mainstream (Debian?) and install Steam/proton?

My question is basically the title, but here are some more details.

My computer is used about 75% for work, 20% for personal use (almost entirely web), and 5% for gaming. ~2 y.o. midrange rig w/ Intel CPU, AMD graphics, 32GB DDR4 RAM.

For work, I need lots of straightforward things: video conferencing on Teams (web is fine), Zoom, Word document editing (web is fine), a bunch of other web apps, some light database stuff, etc.

Plus two things that are a bit trickier: OneDrive professional/SharePoint (so I'll need abraunegg's onedrive) and Excel 2024 desktop (web isn't good enough) for which I'll need to run Windows (10? Ameliorated, maybe?) in a VM.

But I also want to do gaming. I wouldn't install a kernel-level rootkit anyway (and I boycott Denuvo), so SteamOS-level compatibility should work great for my needs. I also have a Quest 3, so I'll want to do PCVR, which apparently works great (with Bazzite).

But I don't really grok what Bazzite being immutable means for using it as a daily driver for work/productivity. Under the hood, it's just Fedora 42, right? For immutable distros, you use flatpaks instead of apt install, and they're basically just "apps" that should "just work", right? Do I care about kernel modification?

Or, more to the point, I don't know what I don't know. After preliminary research on this all, I think my plan of going for Bazzite then adding abraunegg's onedrive and a Windows VM with Office 2024 will hit all my needs, but can anyone "sanity check" that plan, or compare the pros/cons with a non-Ubuntu-based alternative?

I'm good enough with computers that I should be able to tinker through the inevitable small challenges that will come up, but I don't really have enough time to do it twice if my initial plan is terrible. (I connect to a Debian server remotely using the terminal, so I have some background—but I needed to install a bunch of packages to get web app software running, and idk if I'll need that as a desktop user.)

Any advice much appreciated! And thanks for reading this far, even if you don't comment. 😀

Edit: thanks for the input so far! I'm turning in, but I'll read everything and reply to stuff tomorrow.

Pro of running an immutable distro is that it is much harder to break during daily use. The con is that you're pretty much setup to only use flatpaks and some things like abraunegg's onedrive aren't available as a flatpak.

Have you considered making the ~~Win10~~ Win11 VM a complete work jail? If you do all things work in there then you get a nice separation of private and work and won't have to worry about work apps linux compatibility.

Thanks for the reply!

A few thoughts:

I was thinking Win 10 EOL won't matter if the VM has no Internet access. Linux would sync the files for me, so the Windows VM can just run Excel (and maybe Word, since I'm setting up Office 2024 anyway) using the files synced by abraunegg's onedrive, so it doesn't need internet access. (Assuming there's a partition format that works well for both Windows and Linux that I can use for onedrive, which I assume is a "solved" problem by now—i remember this being hard 20 years ago.)

And his package apparently works in Fedora 42 with docker, which I assume should work fine.

But yeah; maybe what you're suggesting makes more sense. And that VM definitely would need web access, then, so Win 10 is a non-starter. The database work I do is likely easier in Linux, but that's likely easy enough to get data files out of the VM for just that work, I would expect.

Another question now comes to mind; I'm going to look this up now; how hard is it to copy/paste between Linux and a VM? Edit: As I'd hoped, this is also apparently a solved problem and sounds easy to configure.

I’m by no means an expert on this, but I have used both Bazzite and Fedora workstation as my exclusive operating systems.

What I would say is that they’re both perfectly adequate for the tasks you described.

Personally, I’d say unless you prefer things handed to you, choose Fedora. I don’t have a problem with flatpacks, but I missed being able to easily use dnf. At the end of the day, though, there are ways around everything; you can still get what you need done on Bazzite.

In terms of kernel tweaks, etc. I barely noticed any difference in performance between the 2. Keep in mind that this was a relatively modern pc so performance wasn’t really an issue that I was looking out for.

Overall though, you’ll be fine whatever you choose. I also had to use MS office for work and it’s pretty much the one thing you can’t get working on Linux. You’ll have to explore your options for that, I ended moving back to a Mac because of Ableton live 🙁

The main issue you'll run into is nicher proprietary software being hard to install, but that's what containers are for. The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoying, but since you'll be running a VM anyway you can do some network trickery. My work's antivirus only works on Ubuntu and RHEL, proprietary kernel modules so it's got to be at least one of those kernels.

Linux is Linux, nothing's impossible to solve even with Bazzite's immutability. Worst comes to worst you make your own images and it's not that hard, you basically just fork it on GitHub and let the CI do its thing.

But do you have time to fiddle to make it work and take the risk, or do you want to play it safe? How confident are you with Bazzite's more advanced topics?

oh, shit:

You're right. I have a crappy work-supplied Windows laptop that has exactly that installed. It would be nice not to need to boot into that when I need to work on the server from home, but it's not a deal breaker.

No other specific non-web-based software is needed for work, aside from the aforementioned OneDrive and Excel 2024.

Edit: Your last paragraph is exactly what I'm asking about; I'm capable of doing slightly involved tinkering, but it would need to be something that I can Google Fu through each step of someone walking through most of the steps. I don't know it at all well enough to go completely "off script" and just tinker with confidence.

It sounds like you're suggesting that going for something mainstream and getting it to work for games is likely a better option, particularly for someone with limited Limits experience?

The Universal Blue people emphasize containerized stuff a little too much. It's perfectly possible to add non-flatpak software to ostree distros, it just slows update processing down a little bit.

Since abraunegg onedrive is available as an RPM, you can just layer it on top of Bazzite; download the rpm and and then rpm-ostree install ./onedrive.rpm

If the RPM works on Fedora it will work in ostree distros too. Besides, if it foesn't work, you can just rpm-ostree rollback and it's like you never installed it, apart from things in your $HOME like config files.

The recommendation is to avoid layering wherever possible, not that you can't do it. Many apps are still a bit wonky as flatpaks, even if available.

Distrobox is much more suitable for installing RPMs on immutable distros, unless they need deep system access (e.g. Docker).

Bazzite even ships with DistroShelf for that purpose.

Just create a Fedora container for RPMs and a Ubuntu/Debian container for DEBs and install them there.

Can't enable mobile security settings

Hi there,
I have an Asus Zenfone 10 on Android 15.
In this release of android a new feature named mobile security settings became available which are supposed to signal and protect against surveillance on the mobile network side, like at a protest.
When I try to enable these settings on my device they are off again when I reenter these settings.
Do these settings have some kind of prerequisite? Are they working on your device?
Thanks!

Is this some more Asus bullshit? I am still mad that I can't unlock it

Edit: but also what is encrytion on normal mobile network supposed to be? Are calls somehow encrypted? I thought normal network is not encrypted anyway, how even, is there a key exchange or anything?

Mobile radio communication is encrypted between you and the tower. Newer protocols have better encryption then older. That's why Stingray tracker is bad since it can force phones to use older vulnerable protocols.

self-hosted i2p+qbittorrent beginner quickstart

Thought I would share my simple docker/podman setup for torrenting over I2P. It's just 2 files, a compose file and a config file, along with an in-depth explanation, available at my repo codeberg.org/xabadak/podman-i2… And it comes with a built-in "kill-switch" to prevent traffic leaking out to the clearnet. But for the uninitiated, some may be wondering:

What is I2P and why should I care?

For a p2p system like bittorrent, for two peers to connect to each other, at least one side needs to have their ports open. If one side uses a VPN, their provider needs to support "port forwarding" in order for them to have their ports open (assuming everything else is configured properly). If you have ever tried to download a torrent with seeders available, yet failed to connect to any of them, your ports are probably not open. And with regulators cracking down on VPNs and forcing providers like Mullvad to shut down port forwarding, torrenting over the clearnet is becoming more and more difficult.

The I2P network doesn't have these issues. The I2P is an alternative internet network where all users are anonymous by default. So you don't need a VPN to hide your activity from your ISP. You don't need port-forwarding either, all peers can reach each other. And if you do happen to run a VPN on your PC, that's fine too - I2P will work just the same. So if you're turning your VPN on and off all the time, you can keep I2P running throughout, and continue downloading/uploading.

I2P eliminates all the complications and worries about seeding, making it easy for beginners to contribute to the network. I2P also makes downloading easier, since all peers are always reachable. And it's more decentralized too, since users don't need to rely on VPN providers. And of course, it's free and open source!

A fair warning though, I2P is restricted in some countries. And in terms of torrenting specifically, torrents have to explicitly support I2P. You can't just take any clearnet torrent and expect it to work on I2P. And the speeds are generally lower since there are less seeders, and the built-in anonymity has a cost as well. However I've been surprised at the amount of content on the I2P network, and I've been able to reach 1 MB/s download speeds. It's more than good enough for me, and it will only get better the more people join, so I hope this repo is enough for people to get started.

I probably should have mentioned this in the post, but don't forget you can run this on desktop too! All Fedora-based distros (Kinoite, Bazzite, etc) have Podman pre-installed. You just need to install podman-compose/docker-compose. If you're on an atomic distro you'll have to layer, or use a distrobox (either install podman-compose and use host podman or just install both podman and podman-compose inside a distrobox), or convert the compose file into individual Podman commands like podman network create --internal ... and podman run ..., but it's definitely doable in an hour or so.

Use any linux distribution inside your terminal.

I really want to build an i2p router, and have started a couple times, but the lack of control of what goes through my hardware stops me every time. It's a cool project and, sadly, looking more necessary every year.

It's weird I don't have these hang ups for other systems. Running a meshcore node doesn't give me the willies. Just for i2p I worry how much csam is going through my router.

in reply to Fedegenerate • 2 mesi fa • •

It's true, you never really know what will be going through your router. I guess I just got over it after a few years of struggling with VPNs and port-forwarding. Just felt like the noose was getting tighter, especially after Mullvad stopped providing the feature. My stance is that if I ever knew that such content was going through my PC I would block it, but if it's all encrypted then what can I do? Same reason why I support encrypted messaging apps - they can be used for harm but is that the fault of the tool? Though I recognize it's a complex issue.

Agreed. I'll get over myself one day and build one. For now Airvpn supports port forwarding at an affordable (to me) price, so I let them deal with the moral dilemma.

It's coming though, i2p is where my server is headed, even if I keep a VPN up too.

It's not just the router. The officially recommended I2P torrent client, called I2PSnark, is also in Java and its a pain to get working in Docker. It's not a bad torrent client, just feels like the official I2P tools still don't have great support for modern Linux devops. Now that qBittorrent supports I2P the whole stack feels much more at home.

Might test this out, this looks great. Mullvad is my VPN provider of choice for a lot of reasons, but recently ran into the port forwarding issue so I switched to Proton, a company that I'm very uncomfortable with given their CEO's politics and such. This would let me stick with the former without losing any functionality, if I'm following correctly

I remember reading about I2P back in the day. I am old school. If my old memory serves me correctly, I think there are some vulnerabilities with using I2P instead of say a VPN? (Now, I am going to have to go down that rabbit hole again to refresh my memory.)

Edit to add;
The list below describes some of I2P’s main disadvantages.
- Complex configuration process: It necessitates a drawn-out installation procedure and specific browser settings.

Must-have logging: The I2P user interface must be logged in for users to access their material.
Severe vulnerabilities: Over 30,000 users were made vulnerable by a zero-day vulnerability that I2P experienced in 2014. Later, a 2017 study found that several more I2P flaws may also be exploited.
A much tiner user base than TOR: As a result, I2P has fewer network nodes and servers and is more open to intrusions.
Less anonymity when browsing indexed sites: I2P does not ensure that users' browsing of indexed sites is completely anonymous. The use of VPN services may be able to address this issue.

Source

There was an exploit last May, however, if one is not able to fork over money for a VPN, I2P is a good alternative for a free option.

Thanks for the info, I would not claim to be an expert about I2P so some of this is definitely new to me. Though I think the situation has improved quite a bit.

Complex configuration process: It necessitates a drawn-out installation procedure and specific browser settings.

If you just want I2P without the torrenting, you can use the official I2P router, which is just an HTTP proxy that runs on your PC, just like Tor. The 3rd-party router used in my guide, i2pd, has a Flatpak as well. So as far as installing the router goes, it's a few clicks. You are correct that it does require configuring the browser though, you are correct. This is explained in my guide and also on the official website. Not as easy as clicking an "Install" button, but only takes around 5 minutes. I wish there were an official I2P browser like the Tor browser though.

Must-have logging: The I2P user interface must be logged in for users to access their material.

Not sure what you mean by this. I've never had to log into anything to set up I2P.

Severe vulnerabilities

I have no doubt. But Tor has had many vulnerabilities too. Both have gotten much better over time.

A much tiner user base than TOR: As a result, I2P has fewer network nodes and servers and is more open to intrusions.

Definitely true. In fact it makes me suspicious how fast TOR is despite how many users there are, and how the relatively high requirements to be a relay (not to mention an exit node). AFAIK TOR is heavily reliant on rich and generous patrons, which makes me wonder about the motives of these patrons. I believe I2P has the potential to be much more decentralized, since every user is expected to also be a router, and Techlore has also raised this point (though I don't have the video on me right now).

Less anonymity when browsing indexed sites: I2P does not ensure that users’ browsing of indexed sites is completely anonymous. The use of VPN services may be able to address this issue.

I didn't know this. What are indexed sites?

Good info here. You will have to read the author's article to answer your questions, I marked as 'source' above. I did read on a more recent article that I2P can be a little slower than a VPN because, I guess it is decentralized, all those node paths the info has to travel?? Believe me, if something happens to the company that hosts my "lifetime" VPN purchase, I will most likely switch to I2P.

in reply to shrewdcat

xabadak

in reply to shrewdcat • 2 mesi fa • •

It's also slower simply because it's basically a bunch of VPNs running on consumer hardware. Actual VPN providers can provide big powerful servers. This is why I think torrenting is a great fit for the slower speeds of I2P - waiting a little longer for a download is bearable, as opposed to waiting for a webpage to load.

And in terms of torrenting specifically, torrents have to explicitly support I2P. You can't just take any clearnet torrent and expect it to work on I2P.

are you sure about that? for public torrents you just add the postman tracker and done. if libtorrent gets support for DHT over I2P, even that won't be needed

hmm I'm not sure I understand you. qbittorrent allows you to set whether you want to also use I2P or only that, globally for all torrents. but I2P peers who are in mixed mode, they can work as a bridge, getting the pieces from internet peers and redistributing it on the I2P network

You could just install the i2pd windows client, and then configure it to enable "SAM". You could use the i2pd.conf file in my repo as a reference, just make sure to use 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 so that only applications running on your computer would be able to access i2pd (0.0.0.0 is only needed for docker). Then you would configure your browser and qbittorrent the same way detailed in my repo, except make sure to enable "mixed" mode so that your torrents are seeding over both clearnet and I2P. Lastly, even though you'll be seeding your torrents over I2P, nobody will be able to find them unless you post them to an I2P tracker like Postman. I don't know how to submit torrents to Postman so you're on your own for that one

Thank you! I just randomly found your guide in another Lemmy post and this kind of setup has been in my to-do list after I became "pro" with gluetun and qbitorrent (inside Docker) and thought the same could be done for i2pd but haven't had the time.

I have some questions

I have been very happy about qbitorrent finally opening to i2p but recently found out that because it is using libtorrent it doesn't support DHT for i2p (while the official i2psnark client does). Don't you think is better at this point to still use i2psnark (and you would have the commodity to also have the browser included?) despite being in Java...
For some reason, I would still feel insecure in using i2p without a VPN. It is said there is no need, ok, but what if I still want to use it. I guess it shouldn't harm? Like affecting speed or other factors? I would like to remove as much as possible any chance of my ISP sniffing on my connections.

PS: I have an improvement for your guide 😁You could add an extra container with Mullvad-Browser (still from linuxserver) to access Postman.
