That's a valid concern.

It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they've done this, what's the likelihood that they'll do something even worse later?

I'm not sure.

Perhaps getting computer vision that's reliably better than humans costs a lot of money that a project like OpenStreetMap doesn't have?

If it helps, here's a (partial) list of ActivityPub software - I'm not sure why it doesn't include things like Friendica or Owncast: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub

But regarding your question, the first example that comes to mind is PeerTube. Not only does it look to me like it was designed from the start with federation in mind (I don't know this for a fact though), but it also seems pretty innovative with its use of peer-to-peer video streaming. This 2 minute animated video does a good job of explaining what it does: https://framatube.org/w/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3

Owncast seems somewhat similar.

It seems that most Fediverse/ActivityPub software is a "twist" on something that existed previously, but there is still a lot of innovation going on, instead of pure copies of existing centralized platforms.

I only read the text, didn't watch the video, but from the text it didn't sound like that's what they were describing. It sounded like they will present images to people and ask them to confirm whether or not there's an object there?

We introduce “MapTCHA”, a CAPTCHA that leverages the uncertainty of interpreting imagery with computer vision, and provides human verification for AI predictions: users are asked to identify images containing correctly interpreted objects, e.g. building outlines.

Edit: also, here's the github they seem to be working from - https://github.com/ciupava/maptcha_dev

Edit 2: I hope they succeed, because it would be great to have an open source captcha that benefits everyone.

I was curious about this too, particularly if and how well the Meta Quest 3 mirroring/tethering or whatever they call it works.

What factory? Not many of those around the US anymore. Amazon warehouse is more like it.

Absolutely! What's weird is that Teslas have been top-rated for crash-worthiness in the past, so there are a few possibilities I can think of:

  • They need to be top crash-worthy, because of the stupid autopilot trying its best to kill the occupants
  • They need to be top crash-worthy, because otherwise any crash at all would result in a fiery death
  • The Cybertruck is an outlier and is not as crash-worthy as the previous Teslas
  • All of the above

What was that rule of thumb for taking multiple choice tests? If you don't know the answer, always select "all of the above"?

Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto’s 0.85.

Holy shit, that means the Cybertruck fatality rate is around 17 times higher than the Pinto's!

420 microplastics?

The thing is, we cross the world to crush someone all the time in the interest of the rich and powerful at home. That's a full feature of the American system, not a bug.

It's on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released [last Friday]. Has anyone been watching this series? Did you watch the new episode? What do you think of all of it so far?

I think the series is fantastic in so many ways - concept, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production design, music. I usually avoid watching series these days, but this show really has me hooked. I was hoping to discuss it a bit here since I haven't found much about it on Lemmy yet. I figured that this would be a favorite with a lot of people here.

If you mention details about the story, please don't forget to add spoiler [tags].

Someone suggested I cross-post this here. Let me know if it's not appropriate and I'll take it down.

Note: people who are worried about spoilers, be aware that apparently some clients don't handle spoiler tags correctly. Proceed at your own risk.

I would start episode discussion threads, but don't know where would be the appropriate place for that.

My environment is a (freshly installed) Debian server with ZFS pools. I would like to store files in ZFS and share them using Samba.

My question is which is better from efficiency, effort, and security (for the host) perspectives? Running it natively on the bare-metal Debian host, running it in an LXC container, or running it in a VM? Why do you think one way is better than the others? I'm pretty familiar with VMs, but don't have much experience or knowledge of containers.

This is what I'm thinking at the moment, but I would appreciate any feedback:

  1. Natively: no resource overhead, medium admin overhead (manual Samba configuration), least secure(?)
  2. LXC: small resource overhead, least admin overhead (preconfigured containers and/or reproducible configs), possibly more security than native(?)
  3. VM: most resource overhead, most admin overhead (not only manual configuration, but also managing virtual disk [including snapshots, backups, etc]), most secure
 

I have an issue with some servers at work where I have been unable to determine the best course of action to address it based on pre-existing knowledge within my team or web searches. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to ask RHEL-specific questions? I don't want to presume that it's OK to post such nitty-gritty technical questions here.
