Not sure if you have tried the For You algorithm on bluesky but it’s really good

They have a free tier with 100 searches! It doesn’t sound like a lot but I usually don’t cross it.

The implication that an open weight models are sending data back to China even if it’s on air gapped infrastructure is straight propaganda / Luddite talk.

I was also impacted, you need to remove the payload that got dumped:

Payload: /tmp/.pxb/{curl,wget}, /tmp/.spid

Two processes named khungtaskd / cron

They also stole your admin token so go to the Plex UI and log out of all devices for whichever account has ownership of the instance.

Then you can reclaim ownership and it resets the admin token.

You should likely be fine, I didn’t have any crypto miners on mine, it was just in a docker instance and didn’t have access outside of it. I would be much more worried if it was a direct install on a main PC.

Also install watch tower

I mean I love Mbin but it’s kindve the odd child out here. We should really have a section for Threadiverse and for Microblog

FWIW I’ve had multiple DigitalOcean VMs die seemingly out of nowhere.

Never had a problem with OVH nor Hetzner.

These research papers talking about AI leading to cognitive decline seem so asinine when certain people’s productivity has just skyrocketed under AI.

Sure the hand coding capabilities decline, but that’s replaced by thinking around the actually product or architecture.

A huge sect of new Linux users and Selfhosters are talking about how much AI has enabled them yet we’re still bringing up papers on cognitive decline that were written on models from 3-4 years ago when Claude Code didn’t even exist.

Love this, opus 5.5 is absolutely nuts at optimization. I was able to use it to get some 10x performance improvements recently.

It seems like the tide is finally starting to turn here in terms of LLM usage. Even 4 months ago this thread would be a nightmare lol

It’s a good thing Sam Altman isn’t Anthropic !

I use Linux, VPNs, Firefox, etc. These have all given me access problems with anyone who does custom bot prevention implementations, but I’ve never had a problem with a Cloudfare site.

Worth calling out 3 years ago SWEs were also 10-15 years out from being automated.

Things change very fast nowadays.

Probably the right decision given there’s no way to truly tell what level of AI generation or effort within the project itself with AI has taken place.

I understand the willingness to ban low effort low quality one shot projects, but given most software nowadays incorporating some level of LLMs, I can’t ever see a blanket ban working out anywhere.

Colibri to my knowledge is basically doing public chats until private spaces are in a better spot then doing private spaces for private groups.

Roomy.space is another one of these who built their own private spaces on atproto and would be worth checking out.

Also Atproto isn’t inherently a bad place for this since it can be a hybrid system of on or off protocol, or using their upcoming permissioned data spaces for private data.

Almost everyone in the industry worth their weight is using LLMs now. Top tier models create really solid code nowadays.

The entire world of software is using AI. It’s so strange to me we’re allowing big corporations like Microsoft, Google, Reddit, etc devs take advantage of it for efficiency gains then turning around and criticizing and scoffing at solo dev projects who want to push the Internet to a better place.

By all means it’s your right to say you don’t want to use anything built with AI, but at this point you’re better just leaving the Internet wholesale.
