Exactly. Families are extremely varied in logistics and presentation… Businesses in their ivory towers imagine a stereotypical nuclear family where everybody lives in the same house. Out of 5 families I personally know; only one fits that description.

It means if you received an email saying “thanks for your purchase of a razor” you will get ads for razor blades. They’ll scan all your emails and build an “advertising profile”; similar to that Amazon thing that happened a while ago. If they know enough about you, the ads will be extremely targeted; like an automated spear phishing mounted turret that targets your most private weaknesses. Track your period in an app and they’ll sell you menstrual products on a schedule. Get a food delivery order and now they know what food you like. Email your family about an upcoming vacation and they’ll sell you plane tickets and travel insurance

Probably fine. But I would be suspicious of any usage of the tool that removes too much of your job. Let’s say for example you can send an A.I. to attend meetings in your place, or an A.I. that automatically does performance reviews and check ins with subordinates. That would be a risky thing to do haha

I think that’s still a bit in the future yet, though. Just keep it in the back of your mind if you notice the tool “helping too much”

Refuse to use LLMs; don’t use / train your replacement. Change careers, pivot to something you can’t be replaced by LLMs. Could still be programming in an industry that doesn’t use them for privacy or security reasons.

Oh yeah, everyone loves black text on white background, with each div placed sequentially in a vertical stack :) really gives it that vintage mid 90’s dial up internet “the website failed to load CSS” look

There’s nothing wrong with CSS. Arguably it’s been overcomplicated way beyond it’s original scope, but it works as designed to make your sites look good

Yeah but if it’s just pure HTML you got an ugly-ass website that’s annoying to use. There’s been many JavaScript and css vulnerabilities over the years of course. But yes there was and still is plain HTML issues

Client side:

• I vaguely remember some base64 embedded encoding malware.
• I do believe there was some issues with early HTML, if you had malformed tags, that could bypass checks and balances.
• Svg, Images, audio, fonts, and video can definitely contain malware. Before you say fonts are a css thing, <font> was a real tag
• IFrames were the worst:
  • They had too much power in the past and could hijack the page and browser.
  • There was no content security policy back then so they could inject JavaScript into the main page as well.
  • Also they can cover the whole screen and present a normal login screen, and hijack all inputs going through it. Think of it like you’re on dodgey-site.com and it has a full page IFrame to bank.com. This was a common hack back in the day which inspired an entire http header to help prevent this.
• Anchor tags can link to something dodgey of course.
• Embedded PDFs were a huge issue.
• ActiveX and other web applets was just fucked. They were so bad they caused malware constantly. This is where unsolicited toolbars came from.
• Adobe Flash had many many vulnerabilities over the years.
• Canvas bugs are still a thing today.

Server side, you could execute SQL injection and path traversal just via URL before the page even loads. Malware and other issues can be embedded in text inputs. HTML can be uploaded to the server and in some cases replayed on the page affecting other users (comment sections were infamous for this).

So yeah; a plain HTML page with no JavaScript or css isn’t necessarily safe

I don’t remember either 😂. Looks like I replied to the wrong comment or something

Current cultural narrative
Baby: 0–6
Kid: 7–29
Adult: 30–39
Old: 40–49
Ancient decrepit mummified creature: 50–120

There’s a small window between 30 and 40 that is considered ideal. Everything else suffers from some kind of ageism

Indefinitely just means unspecified. Could be 3000 years, could be 15 minutes; it implies “until further notice” depending on the whims of the noticer. See “suspended indefinitely” in crime drama shows, where they’re back on payroll by the end of the episode

Dunno why you’re downvoting me. It’s a bit confusing

You don’t have to connect the computer and upload your data to change brake pads or air filters

Yep, can’t avoid taking your electric vehicle to get its electricity fluid changed at the mechanics. It’s important to do this periodically so the battery doesn’t get clogged

I think they were making a related statement rather than directly challenging your argument. Similar if someone says “modern Windows sucks” and the reply is “Linux is where it’s at”

First: Who the fuck is eMudhra?

Second: What catastrophic failure of process allows a single point of failure Indian company to compromise the entire internet as we know it by accidentally releasing debug code? Why is it so fragile in the first place?

Jellyfin basically only uses TMDB by default as a metadata provider. I think IMDB enshittified or something like Reddit did.

TMDB is a lot less mature than IMDB so sometimes the identification isn’t as good. It’s based on user contributions like Wikipedia. It also has “opinions” about the correct episode and season listings of TV shows, which has caused me big headaches in the past.

You can enable optional plugins in the dashboard to enable other metadata providers like TVDB and Anime DB and more. I decided to just use TMDB and go update the website myself when I notice anything wrong or missing.

Jellyfin is also much less forgiving of errors… like if you put an episode in the wrong season it will just appear broken

For business decisions, always do things for more than one reason

Most common is 3060? That’s much higher than I expected. I assumed we had all regressed to ancient technology due to shortages

Accept the impermanence of all things and repurchase your entire steam library like a bitch-ass consumer. Or find a cheaper hobby, like yacht racing

You missed a thorn opportunity for “that”

Soon it will be “Claude wrote a zero day container escape privilege escalation exploit because it was faster than working within the given limitations”. I just don’t give any LLM file system access
