Wow, smash bugs, be in the running for prizes, including a skateboard … might give that a pass.

there isn’t a big privacy issue as compared to the benefit in the health and safety and property of others.

So, now we’re measuring invasion of privacy based on “the health and safety and property of others”?

I strongly disagree with your assertion that “there isn’t a big privacy issue” here. From the top of my head:

1. Did the rental company advise the customer before they got into the car?
2. What other details were recorded?
3. What is the process to erase the data?
4. Who has access to it under which circumstances?
5. How long is it retained?

Puppeteer and Chrome were my go-to, but that was before AI bots started hammering sites, and Cloudflare and others started offering blocking processes to stop them.

I’d be surprised if the service you’re currently using will be effective for much longer.

As for text comparison, lynx -dump will give you the text and diff will show you the changes, but as you mentioned, that won’t show you the graphics and banners, unless the site actually uses accessible content.

Writing software is about problem solving skills which improve with practice. Often the process involves breaking down a problem into smaller pieces and breaking each of those down, until you know how to “solve” each problem.

Writing down each “solution” and stringing them together is then the actual “programming” part of this activity … which brings with it a whole new layer of “problems” to “solve”.

It’s as much art as it is accounting and the more you do it, the better you get at it.

Did you try it?

Factory reset?

Ssh access should be passwords only

What are you basing this on?

Yeah … voting around here is interesting from time to time.

On a positive note, I hadn’t heard of the Linux Security Audit Project, looks interesting, thank you.

I only briefly skimmed through the readme so I might have missed it, but I wonder how they’re able to claim compliance with specific standards.

It was my understanding that it’s typically a drawn out expensive process with a certificate to hang on the wall after the fact.

Compliant with what?

“Security compliant” is a completely meaningless phrase, right up there with “locked door” or “secret code”.

Perhaps Windows users are finally learning about privacy and hiding their identity.

An extra observation, if you’re doing QA and you’re running out of memory, there is a good chance that the actual users will experience the same issue.

If you’re running this inside Docker, you can specify exactly how much memory it has access to, which can also act as a data point for your QA process.

Puppeteer is the tool. It takes some getting used to.

You can set a bunch of triggers that determine exactly when the screenshot fires, and you can simulate mouse movement and scrolling to deal with lazy loading.

There’s even time delays that differentiates between human time and machine time, allowing you to have the software act as if it was running for longer than it actually was, which deals with other weirdness seen in web apps.

You can run it inside Docker which might simplify things for you.

I ended up writing a node.js app to control puppeteer precisely how I needed to.

Source: I spent 48 months or so using it for a project that required all of that.

I read “OpenOffice” and was very confused too, but eventually my brain caught up. Now I’m just bemused.

grep

Basic habit to get into:

If you’re contemplating doing something destructive, do a dry-run first.

In this case, remove the -delete flag, run the command and see what you get.

A good approach is to build a command step by step and test your assumptions each iteration.

Things might take a few moments longer, but one day it’s going to save your bacon.

As for unexpected globbing, learn the difference between quoted and unquoted, and single versus double quotes.

At the rate Microsoft is going, by the time we set up a community on Mars, everyone will have migrated to Linux 😁

Let me ask you this.

If the LLM instance doesn’t talk to anyone, you’re right, but there seems little point in building an instance that talks to nobody.

This leaves us with an instance that does talk to other instances, presumably responding to posts, making its own and subscribing to communities. This already costs money for each “touched” instance.

At that point the administrator of an instance that doesn’t want to federated with the LLM instance, has to defederate from it, updating their instance and then still getting access requests from the LLM instance when it attempts to do the reply, post, community thing as described before.

Even us discussing the phenomenon right now takes server resources across the fediverse.

In other words, as I said, there is always a cost to everyone.

I understand.

My point didn’t state that all instances would be affected equally, just that there’s an effect everywhere.

All of them.
