#DearLazyWeb: A while back someone posted a screen cap of Google getting confused between Voyager's "The Doctor" and "Doctor Who."
I'm writing something up about LLMs and I'd really like to reference it. I'm gonna go through my boosts and hope I can find it, but could anyone with it handy save me a few hours of data spelunking?
Edit: @franklinlopez found it. Awesome. lol!
I'm thinking of maybe purchasing a #3dprinter in the next month or two.
My absolute requirements are that *using* the printer should require 0 proprietary software. That is, the minimum level of openness is like a postscript laser printer.
I want something that can print stuff like around a cubic foot/30cm3
Maybe with two different filaments? So I can have a different support material spooled in? Maybe a heated chamber? I dunno if that's really necessary.
Are there any #Tor or #BrowserFingerprinting or traffic fingerprinting people in my wider network that have read the #MaybeNot paper?
How do these defenses relate to the work that Tor itself does to protect from traffic analysis? Would they be enough to prevent the sort of timing attacks that the wiki describes on the TorPlusVPN page?
Does anyone have more information on the research that that wiki page is referencing?
I am just diving into this topic, so be gentle please.
#DearLazyWeb: As part of #DisasterPreparedness organizing in the past, our group did a table top exercise to identify gaps in our response capabilities. We were fortunate enough to have someone who worked in public health make one and GM it for us.
I found some from FEMA with some quick searching. Assuming a group of 5-10 people organizing for themselves (and maybe folks in their neighborhoods), are there any exercises/table top simulations like these that other folks would recommend?

I'd be especially interested in anything that considers intentional systemic collapse scenarios, like, "Some jackass shuts down the government and refuses to pay SNAP" and other things like "FEMA doesn't come to help because it's been disbanded by ghouls."
#DearLazyWeb: Hey #Nederlanders ik heb en expat vrag over mijn #VvE. Our management company is absolute garbage. Our VVE management company recently scheduled repainting, during winter, with the most incompetent company possible, who did a horrible job, some of which didn't need to be done. Our windows had just been repainted since they were painted before we moved in, so 1/3 of the work they did was unnecessary, and now they look much worse than they did before. I could go on, but generally lots and lots of complaints along with absolutely terrible service.
Our upstairs neighbor (also an owner) also hates them and wants to switch, but a rental company owns the top half of the building and seems to be trying to force us in to staying. Basically, this management company is super cheap and the rental company are absolutely trash absentee leaches. (They *may* also have not been paying their part of the VvE fees for a while, but I'm not totally sure I understood everything.)
Unfortunately, I am way out of my depth and can't seem to get much help from google. Can anyone give me some advice about what to read or who to talk to, or are we actually stuck?
#dearlazyweb is there a (non-smart, < 40mm) wrist watch out there that has multiple countdown timers like i get on my phone?
#DearLazyweb: I'm trying to avoid buying anything from the US. What #meshtastic options are available from non-US companies?
Edit: thank you @sebastian, for the answer of "basically all of them." :)
Fellow members of the Emacs Org Mode cult:
Is there a way to toggle visibility of a heading plus the entire subtree underneath it? For example, suppose I have this:
* Fish
Some text in Fish.
** A Fish subheading
Blah blah blah.
* Broccoli
Some text in Broccoli.
** A Broccoli subheading
Etc etc.
* Molybdenum
Hi. My atomic number is 42.
** A Molybdenum subheading
Some text about the wondrous
properties of Molybdenum.
Then I run some magical function (hide-top-level-trees-matching-re ".*Broccoli.*"). Afterwards, although the buffer's text would be unmodified, I would see this...
* Fish
Some text in Fish.
** A Fish subheading
Blah blah blah.
* Molybdenum
Hi. My atomic number is 42.
** A Molybdenum subheading
Some text about the wondrous
properties of Molybdenum.
...and searches, etc, would behave accordingly: if I did an isearch for "Broccoli", I would not find any matches, etc.
I could probably implement this using the excellent hide-lines.el package. But maybe Org Mode offers something like this already? I've been looking around the manual and elsewhere and haven't found it yet, though.
#dearlazyweb looking for a PCIe WiFi card model that works in #Debian #Linux preferable dual band, I'm looking around but before buying I want a confirmation. I've seen that Intel ones look like the way to go while other chipsets might be problematic.
#dearlazyweb, i am considering buying a keychron K1 Max, thoughts? https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k1-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40779458805849
#dearlazyweb i have a TKL #WASDkeyboard with cherry brown MX switches, and it's become too mushy for my taste - i tried a #nuphy air75 keyboard with some sort of red switches (not sure what those are) and it's awesome but i don't like the layout (missing scroll lock and friends), is there something like a nuphy (slim, low-travel keys, mechanical, QMK) but with a bit wider?
#dearlazyweb #linux #kernel and #sysadmin folks: anyone working on rescuing the archived raid.wiki.kernel.org wiki into something useful? perhaps something better than https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/md.html ?
#dearlazyweb: is anyone aware of active #ADHD parenting groups in #Amsterdam, especially English speaking groups?
#dearlazyweb i know web browsers now support "happy eyeballs" (RFC6555) which allow clients to fallback between Ipv4 and IPv6 gracefully) but how about v2 (RFC8305, which allows falling back betwen IPv4 records! https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8305.html)
Do I know anyone that hosts a #peertube? I'm thinking of hosting one myself for <insert secret project> and even after reading the documentation I'm still not entirely sure what it does. It hosts videos but how do people find them? Does it work like Mastodon? People have home servers and they subscribe to feeds? Does the server admin decide what feeds the server shows?
Is it even a reasonable thing to host your own if you want people to actually see your videos?
#dearlazyweb: I seem to remember a group that was archiving zines. I have a box of zines from the last decade or so wondering if anyone wants to digitize them or anything.
#dearlazyweb i want my fourth mouse button to act as a "tap" instead of a "click" which, i think, means "gestures" but i'll handwave this until it magically works
#dearlazyweb wasn't there some API to automate password rotations, possibly with a password-store extension?
Dear Mastomind / Lazywebs: Is it feasible for a Web browser itself to support toggling support of video (or audio) support or codecs absent injecting JS into a page for that purpose?
My hope is that it might be possible to toggle the availability / support of common video codecs (such as: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HEVC/H.265, VP9, and AV1), so that a browser would simply ignore an video / audio content.
I'm hearing that this is not trivially possible. If that's not the case ... I'd be quite happy.
Boosts / tagging clueful devs appreciated.

#dearlazyweb what’s a good web app to install in a VPS and manage a few Wordpress domains that is open source and nice and not Plesk?
