Were they not supposed to be funny normally?

Are we not all on the brink?

But is he a class traitor? He seemed awfully at home.

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it's dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we're pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don't think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile "discussions" in that we just don't know how to do it.

What's been on your mind? If you don't wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

 

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?

There are legitimate reasons not not want to use or not be able to use Linux.

Calling the very real privacy issues presented by windows as a "conspiracy theory" is not one of them.

Also these people are delusional. They don't understand why the steam deck is popular because quote "the main appeal of PC Gaming is modding and using a Keyboard and Mouse." Which is a bold claim because I thought the point was having better control over what you play instead of hoping Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation release those games on chosen console.

Do these people have an idea how many Stardew Valley Clones I can play on PC that will never touch an Xbox?

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I'm about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn't any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.

I voted for Harris

It is the DNCs fault Trump won.

The DNC has spent years kinda sorta offering enough social and popular policy. And then half heartedly pushing it, but ultimately giving up when there's resistance because it's better to promise those changes then actually do them.

Abortion rights for example. That's been a carrot on a stick for decades and it ultimately was attacked and the Biden admin didn't get it codified or push for a new federal legalization.

Or student loan forgiveness. He kinda pushed it and then the courts said nu-uh so it died.

I'll admit they did do lots of cool stuff but they didn't do anything that an actually progressive candidate would do, but they promised they would. This has kept an actual lefty progressive candidate off the ballet for decades and this cycle of ineffective, dispassionate campaign apathy has failed to get anyone enthused to vote.

"People should just vote! It's their duty! They shouldn't need to be excited to vote!"

Okay but consider. They weren't enthused. They didn't vote for another useless Democrat. Trump won.

It's the DNCs fault because this is the second time they've ran a candidate less progressive then Obama and just hoped the strategy of "You should want to vote for the first Woman president! Please ignore she did terrible in the primaries or all why we didn't do another primary"

I ultimately agree with a lot of communism and as such I'm probably more likely to agree with the average Tankie than most people.

And with that disclaimer, yeah kinda it has aided them in doing that.

They created a reddit alternative that has a "default server" as it were. And they have the ability to admin that source of information to tailor to their specific ideological needs.

But is it effective in a grander scheme? That's pretty debatable.

Palpatine is the absolute only instance that the evil wizards plot fucking worked.

Bro was just yucking it up between episode 2 and 6. He couldn't fucking believe how well it worked. He was so giddy.

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

  1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that's really the biggest reason anyone will have.

  2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don't know if that's true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

  3. it's just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I've learned a lot about how the whole process works and that's more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

It's unfathomable to me how someone could spend that kinda money without talking to an expert or a government surveyor or something!

I spent a month considering if I should get a $500 GPU and I still fucked that up as it isn't even working on my Linux server yet.

SIEM (startrek.website)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by nagaram@startrek.website to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.

I want to set up a SIEM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.

I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).

I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SIEM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.

What do you suggest?

 

Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other "apolitical" gun club.

I've been in the SRA for 4 years, it's not great, but I met comrades local to me. I've learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I'll post more getting started stuff if this doesn't get banned.
