I have had to deal with dependency hells plenty, i am a Debian user after all.

But with that argument you’re now just running outdated shit in a container. Not a great pro-docker argument tbh.

What? Outdated junk running in containers because the maintainer didnt update their shit is not a real problem?

Seems that it is perhaps you who doesnt know how to use it.

Why not have the option for both?

I dont see how this is a defense for jamming everything in to a container.

I agree that LLMs should be opt-in.

However i am often working on projects with garbage or huge documentation, or community boards, that in the past would require a good bit of googlefu to figure out.

Google became absolutely useless for that task. LLMs saved internet search that isnt shallow.

Docker has its uses, but it has gone to far.

I already have a webserver with Apache, mariadb and everything. Why does your PHP based website only come as a docker solution? Fuck you.

When you go all in with docker, it quickly becomes a mess with rando NICs and containers named “random 32 character string” and dependencies up the wazoo. Ending up running ancient packages because the developer refuses to apt upgrade their shit.

Proxmox or any other hypervisor platform gives you control. Whereas you have to take it for docker and youre still at the mercy or the developers to keep your shit secure.

Yeah, google been shit for over a decade now. Not long after SEO became the norm and Google figured out a way to profit from it.

LLMs have saved internet searching. For the first time in years, i am getting (usually) relevant information for my questions.

And not some sponsored or SEO optimized shithole.

That would assume dad has the time and energy for that. In a world where both parents need to be working in order to survive. Most people have no clue how any of the digital world works, but we somehow expect everyone to master it all when they have children?

Wild take, tbh.

I need to confirm my online purchases through my banking app. But I willingly dont connect my banking details anywhere.

I find it weird that payment details can be stored for one-click purchases later on. It is just so highly and easily abused.

We dont accept this kind of payment behavior at a store for obvious reasons, but online it is considered normal? I guess it maximises profits, which are important.

And when these carefully designed systems for low barrier purchases are abused by a child, all responsibility goes to the parent?

Wild how normalised this behavior is.

That the CC can be used without any form of validation seems to be a problem here.

If Google would just verify the security code or something, couldve easily claimed the user made a willing purchase in such case.

But removing such barriers is more profitable.

The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.

No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”

Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.

Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?

Having an adblocker is basic security.

Try to contact Google as a user.

How easy a company is to contact is very telling.

You can speak to someone at Google for sales within 5 minutes tho.

The ‘safeguards’ of AI are funny, as they are manually put in by humans on certain phrases and token triggers. By rephrasing it you trigger a whole new token chain that bypasses the known ones.

Or, you know, get any of the hundreds of models you can self host that don’t have any of the safeguards in place or can be broken.

In the end it matters very little. It actually kinda sounds like the the same kind of fear mongering when Google became useful in the 2000s.

Now everyone can find the Anarchist Cookbook! Why won’t anybody think of the children! Terrorism! Rabble, rabble rabble.

Are we going backwards? History is repeating, isn’t it or did I take the wrong pill.

Because I could do that with the Anarchist Cookbook over 2 decades ago as well.

How are they casually finding these home assistant servers? I sure hope people dont have port 8123 exposed publicly like that? Are you all broadcasting it in to the ether?

It’s been that case since forever now. Nothing has really changed and the same rules still apply.

I still remember ‘hacking’ my ISP ADSL router 2+ decades ago and listening to the WAN interface. Hundreds of thousands of attempts per day in the early 2000s. Mostly US, Russia and China.

My personal #1 threat on the internet for the past 20 years has been DDOS and thanks to billions of IOT devices and privacy invading ‘smart’ appliances everywhere… The botnets have never been this plenty. DDOS as a Service for mere cents a day.

LLM’s joined the fray in recent years but it still can’t do anything it hasn’t learned from us humans.

The whole internet is slowly getting ruined by AI optimization.

It’s all indexed in the LLM’s now, don’t need Reddit anymore for Reddit answers.
