Wasn’t exactly security but I used a RPi Zero with a camera to monitor my 3D print. It’s small, low-power, wireless, didn’t have any problem with it. I imagine the result can be recorded, analyzed, etc.

Looks like a USB stick.

Superficial feedback but I can’t read more than 3 lines without syntax highlighting. Here I believe lines short for the text but makes code even harder to read due to new line. Maybe Codeberg allows for HTML embedding.

Now for a comment on the content itself, how is that different from aliases in ~/.bashrc? I personally have a bunch of commands that are basically wrapped or shortcuts around existing ones with my default parameters.

Finally, if the result is visual, like dmenu which I only use a bit in the PinePhone, then please start by sharing a screenshot of the result.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, always exciting to learn from others how they make THEIR systems theirs!

IMHO the question isn’t as much you as a user of such platforms is “f*cked” because you sound both mindful and technically savvy. So, on that front, you will be OK.

The harder question I would say is how morally bankrupt you will feel by contributing to worsening the privacy of others for profit. Namely that yes by using Facebook/Insta/TikTok/etc you will gain more customers but those customers are gradually losing their privacy while you make those companies bigger by paying them. That means you depend on those companies more while they get more power.

Because of that I would argue that sure, do everything you can to protect yourself but it can’t stop there. I would argue then than the question is rather, where else can you find more clients, and maybe even “better” clients who are more aligned with your own views on privacy, and maybe even more. It’s definitely a challenge, especially seeing the trend of surveillance capitalism, but as you acknowledge yourself by using Lemmy, there are actual alternatives.

fclones https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones looks great but I didn’t use it so can’t vouch for it.

FWIW just did a quick test with rmlint and I would definitely not trust an automated tool to remove on my filesystem, as a user. If it’s for a proper data filesystem, basically a database, sure, but otherwise there are plenty of legitimate duplication, e.g ./node_modules, so the risk of breaking things is relatively high. IMHO it’s better to learn why there are duplicates on case by case basis but again I don’t know your specific use case so maybe it’d fit.

PS: I imagine it’d be good for a content library, e.g ebooks, ROMs, movies, etc.

Neat ,wasn’t aware of it, thanks for sharing

if you use rmlint as others suggested here is how to check for path of dupes

jq -c '.[] | select(.type == "duplicate_file").path' rmlint.json

I don’t actually know but I bet that’s relatively costly so I would at least try to be mindful of efficiency, e.g

• use find to start only with large files, e.g > 1Gb (depends on your own threshold)
• look for a “cheap” way to find duplicates, e.g exact same size (far from perfect yet I bet is sufficient is most cases)

then after trying a couple of times

• find a “better” way to avoid duplicates, e.g SHA1 (quite expensive)
• lower the threshold to include more files, e.g >.1Gb

and possibly heuristics e.g

• directories where all filenames are identical, maybe based on locate/updatedb that is most likely already indexing your entire filesystems

Why do I suggest all this rather than a tool? Because I be a lot of decisions have to be manually made.

Indeed, reminded me of https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/05/luring-test-ai-engineering-consumer-trust which I know think of as emotional honey pots, like https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/18/former-snap-engineer-launches-butterflies-a-social-network-where-ais-and-humans-coexist/

Actually https://darkvisitors.com/docs/robots-txt might be more direct.

Possibly, see https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt but I just discovered it myself while looking for a Robots.txt a la CrowdSec/AdBlocking lists, so feedback appreciated!

Neat, and if you want a physical item to prompt you to do so https://www.crowdsupply.com/dicekeys/dicekeys can be an interesting option.

Edit: neat, it works! No BT though

Update : it works now! Just updated Danctnix and voila, WiFi networks detected and connected.

PS: no BT though

They say it works now already https://lemmy.ml/post/16943222/11704878 so updating at the moment.

See other comments, apparently WiFi is working now (I’m updating right now so can’t confirm) and I forgot but for drawing it’s just a touch screen, so it doesn’t support “fancy” pens with e.g pressure iirc.

Right I should clarify I used only the “cheap” kind of pen that does not include pressure, as if used their fingers but with a smaller rigid tip.

Regarding WiFi working, thanks for the update, any pointer on how to do that? Just updating the stock Danctnix?

It is, if you are not ready to tinker I do not recommend it.

Yet, it works as-is, assuming you don’t need to work wirelessly. I use it on a nearly daily basis and it’s stable.

My documented process https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence but honestly I just tinker with this. Most of that isn’t useful IMHO except some pieces, e.g STT/TTS, from time to time. The LLM aspect itself is too unreliable, and I do like 2 relatively recent papers on the topic, namely :

• No “Zero-Shot” Without Exponential Data https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.04125
• ChatGPT is bullshit https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5

which are respectively saying that the long-tail makes it practically impossible to train AI to be correct in rare cases and that “hallucinations” are a misnomer for marketing purposes to be replaced instead by “bullshit” used to convinced people without caring for veracity.

Still, despite all this criticism it is a very popular topic, hyped up to be the “future” of computing. Consequently I did want to both try and help others to do so rather than imagine that it was restricted to a kind of “elite”. I try to keep the page up to date but so far, to be honest, I do it mostly defensively, to be able to genuinely criticize because I did take the time to try, not reject in block.

PS: I do try also state of the art, both close and open-source, via APIs e.g OpenAI or Mistral but only for evaluation purposes, not as tools part of my daily usage.
