New and fired: Client prompt injection.

⇒ something that processes some input automatically with complex behavior — this was inevitable. As it was with anti-virus software being used as prime attack vector.

@moxfulder the phrase “lack of rationality” was kind of a red flag: similar arguments are far too often used to push a point. “if you’re not with me, you must be irrational, because I know the objective truth”.

@conservancy Are there good (and gratis) alternatives to GitHub actions?

@jens I don’t believe in the market doing that. At the very least not in time to prevent millions from starving to death. Also people will want to be able to buy more meat again afterwards. @EU_Commission

@EU_Commission are we doing something to redirect grain and others away from foodstock and towards humans? We can’t easily increase the net production, but we can increase the efficiency by reducing the meat production.

@emacsen maybe this guide to live-streaming from a fellow filker can help you: https://www.wyae.de/docs/video-streaming/

@tio I do get why people ban entire instances: Requiring every user to block every spammer manually does not scale: Spamming is then cheaper than blocking spammers.

@clacke @cketti The post should rather be:

"Thank you very much for maintaining such a great app for so long. You have made my life better. I wish you good luck on the new path you chose. 💙"

@mpjgregoire @saxnot @thunderbird I have not used it yet, no, but it sounds great. And knowing some of the people behind sequoia pgp from an IRC chatroom long ago, I have high hopes that this will fly.

@saxnot @thunderbird Enigmail wmith pEp was *awesome*!

It was, because with that I got working pgp messages from regular users for the first time. Ever.

Seeing it go away within less than a year after that was deeply jarring.

@clacke @ij @akiva I just decided to create a small screencast about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgJcwyA__Q How to test your website for slow connections in Firefox / Icecat

@akiva @clacke @ij that’s the next step, but it’s much more involved that this simple first step. And if all webdevs did it, we’d already have a much nicer web 🙂

@clacke @ij @akiva Yes, partly :-)

(though it’s not the handshake but TCP slowstart, which is necessary to avoid oscillations in the load on intermediate routers that would cause lots of packet losses due to overload)

@akiva @ij My intermediate solution is to have my computer clocked down as far as possible while not working on $WORK projects.

That also helps keep consumption by the computer itself at ~30W (the screens are a different point …).

@akiva @ij We do that now and then at work: Is this bearable.

I also clocked down bandwidth in the browser when I worked on my personal website (https://www.draketo.de).

Was quite surprised to find that embedding all structural images in CSS may be faster on a fast connection, but is actually slower on a slow connection, because the embedding only helps negate the TCP warmup time on fast connections, but slow connections have much less of them, so the base64-encoding overhead dominated there.

@textbook @echo_pbreyer Er wurde eingeladen, um zu sprechen, nicht um zu schmeicheln.

Wer sich über Kritik aufregt, wird bald nur noch Speichellecker um sich haben. Und das führt zu schlechten Entscheidungen.

Daher ist es richtig und wichtig, dass er der Deutschen Politik offen seine Meinung sagt, wenn er eingeladen wird.

@aral Someone made a *lot* of money there.

@meejah @TerryHancock @humanetech @rysiek I remember how this worked with Gnutella — 4-5 main communities working with a shared protocol, scaling a O(N²) protocol to a well-scaling one.

When the biggest clients went in a block, a new client came around and pushed better features. That’s for example where swarming came from.

A shared protocol enables getting out of blocked development in some areas due to hard to change code paths in a single implementation.

@aral @hamishcampbell It’s not the integrity of the individual that’s the problem. You never have absolute integrity of the individual in a society.

The problem is that the loss of integrity of the vast majority feeds a tiny group of people in power.

That’s what creates the autocratic structures.

If you live in a voluntary commune with 5 other people and you share most you have think and do, you still have community. It’s when that one ruler peeks into all that it gets broken.
