What's Google doing in your phone for 17hrs straight??? in c/[email protected]

Why do you care about privacy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

You forgot about Eternity

Would love to hear about it's score since it's my favorite way to browse Lemmy :)

Is Palworld a “dead game”? Who cares, says the game’s developer in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

It's not dead,
the (over)hyped period is just over.

I for one do plan on picking it up again in the near future, they added quite a bit of new content (pals, tower boss, island, oil rig, arena, raids, ...) since I last played it.

It's still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it's a general "contact your government",
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

[Guide] Introduction to fair Monero mining (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

⛏️ Fair CPU pool mining introduction
Monero (XMR) is one of the only projects
which offer a way of mining in a pool as it should be implemented,
with P2Pool:

  • Fair - Instant payouts according to your share.
  • Decentralized - No pool owners - No centralized party handling the P2Pool.
  • Decentralized - Pool participants - Due to the RandomX algorithm being used, no specialized Antic miners can be built for XMR. Meaning that an average Joe can still participate and earn shares with their CPU.
  • Private - XMR itself continuously aims for the best possible privacy cryptography can offer.

Source Code / Links:

⛏️ Fair CPU pool mining guide
This guide will help you setting up a fair Monero miner,
please note, that you still will have to create your own config files for:
Gupax, P2Pool and XMRig

  1. Use Monero GUI to create a wallet
  2. Use Monero GUI to run your own monerod instance (Monero Node daemon),
    configure following startup flags under:
    Monero GUI => Settings => Node => Daemon startup flags: 
    --zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 
--out-peers 32 
--in-peers 64 
--add-priority-node=p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com:18081 
--add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18081 
--disable-dns-checkpoints 
--enable-dns-blocklist 
--prune-blockchain 
--sync-pruned-blocks 
--db-sync-mode=safe
--log-level 1

These startup flags will help with:

  • Blocking malicious nodes
  • Keeping your copy of the blockchain as small as possible
  • Provide logging incase a priority-node goes down
    (Use Monero Fail for replacements)
  1. Configure the P2Pool + XMRig binary paths in Gupax under:
    Gupax => Gupax => P2Pool/XMRig PATHs
  2. Use Gupax to run P2Pool,
    connect to your local monerod instance by configuring P2Pool as following:
    Gupax => P2Pool => P2Pool Mini => Fill in the following: 
    Name = Local Monero Node
IP = 127.0.0.1
RPC = 18081
ZMQ = 18083
Out-peers = 32
In-peers = 64
  3. Use Gupax to run XMRig,
    connect to your local P2Pool as following:
    Gupax => XMRig => Command arguments (configure --threads as desired): 
    -c config.json 
-o 127.0.0.1:3333 
--http-host 127.0.0.1 
--http-port 18088 
--threads 30

This will make it possible to load a config.json file from the same directory as the XMRig binary

Notes

  • If you're gonna run on normal end-user hardware (e.g. Desktop/Laptop/Smartphone), then I'd recommend to mine on P2Pool Mini instead of the main P2Pool
  • Your P2Pool wallet adress is public, periodically move mined funds to a new, truly private XMR wallet
  • My use-case? I mine to support the cause and to earn a little back from heating my room during winter times 😄

[Guide] Improve your Lemmy feed! (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi all 👋

Here with a small guide for the Eternity app for Lemmy,
on how to setup your own custom filters,
so you can weed out unwanted content 🙂

Motivation:
I was getting sick of my feed being bombarded with war related content..
So in this guide, that's what we'll be filtering out.

Guide:
=> Open Eternity app
=> Tap Hamburger menu icon (Top left)
=> Tap Settings
=> Tap Post Filter
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Fill in: Post Filter Name = No War
=> Fill in: Title: Exclude Keywords =
Gaza,Hamas,Israel,Palestine,Pakistan,Ukraine,Russia
=> Tap Save icon (Top right)
=> Tap new No War filter
=> Tap Apply To
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Tap Subscribed
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Tap Search
=> Tap Back Arrow (Top left)
=> Close / re-open Eternity app

This was just an example,
adjust as desired + can create filters for whatever you (don't) want 😉
