@timsavage@mastodon.nz @OverlordTomala@mas.to @bonkers@nerdculture.de @nixCraft@mastodon.social Yeah. State governments in the US usually require data not be stored outside of the United States.

@rrb@infosec.exchange @evacide@hachyderm.io cheaper to just buy faraday bags for all your devices I guess.

@jerry@infosec.exchange Luckily mine has no sign ups allowed because it's just my dumbass posting through it.
Upgraded my mastodon instance to Postgres 18. Wasn’t too bad. Had to do some cleanup since I run this on a 40gb SSD.
Will give it a day and then upgrade to 4.6.x.

@jerry@infosec.exchange It sucks to have to deal with this just to offer a service to people. That is why I just run my own. But I appreciate the relay that @jerry@infosec.exchange offers to us single hosters.
At some point I may not need the relay but no one has actually told me when that is lol.

@maddad@mastodon.world @paul@oldfriends.live The “AI” can just be machine learning for detecting types of images. But I don’t know what fresh hell this is though.

@dirkhh@social.afront.org @jerry@infosec.exchange Is it? I’ve cancelled anything that increases my cost due to “adding AI”.
Made sure they knew too.
@lapt0r@infosec.exchange @jerry@infosec.exchange That's what they get for living on Melocotonero Lane.

@compfu@mograph.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org They probably did use an LLM. Just look at how ungodly positive LLMs and AI slop pages are.
Welp #Colorado, time to call your state reps about putting people over artificial “intelligence” companies.
Resistbot link for mailing or calling your state rep and senator.

Someone - “Hey what are you listening to?”
Me - “Townes Van Zant”
Someone - “Oh? You look like you like it. What song?”
Me - “Waiting Around to Die”
Someone - “… uh that sound great. Nice catching up.”
These absolute fools and crooks. Replacing Flock with Axion doesn’t solve anything. They can’t say no to surveillance.
Shame on them using the guise of “public safety”.

Welp. Return to physical video games*.
*Until they too require an internet connection to validate your age.
Looked up the same model of server that I bought for $600 in 2021. Said V3 of the server is now $3,500.
I have to honk at so many #Colorado drivers doing 25 in a 40. Just oblivious to the world.
Also, no one in Colorado honks at anyone.
“Human in the loop” is a marketing buzzword to trick you into using #AI that needs to die.
Just now learning the band Sweet’s actual name is The Sweet.

These asshats are screwing up everything.

@pseudonym@mastodon.online @nixCraft@mastodon.social I would just look at any other Ponzi scheme.

@paul@oldfriends.live We used to do this at Comcast if anyone brought anything into a store and didn't use UPS.
Why? Little bits of extra revenue to pump numbers while also reducing labor by forcing people to UPS.
Feels like Apple isn’t going to have the disable AI slop button in iOS 27. Hoping it will return in an updated beta.
Pessimistic though.

@rhys@mastodon.rhys.wtf I feel like the ones who view those who don't lose weight on Ozempic are probably about a half step from the eugenics train.
I have Risen.
To turn of my alarm clock.
FYI that it’s real dumb out here.
God fuck off Fender.
