Blazor looks really cool!

Yeah, the original Super Tic Tac Toe is like that, but I decided to change it a bit because it seemed more intuitive when playing.

There can also be two game modes to choose from before playing that includes the original, I'm not planning on that right now but I'd be very glad with a PR for it if someone makes that effort

I had some major updates, it has an AI mode now so it's much more enjoyable for someone to play alone

I will happily accept contributions, if you're interested you can check for any open issues or create your own!

Not meaning to be racist, but

Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist

Bouzouki, because I'll be pretty ashamed of my purchase if I don't

Nah these weren't decapitated so it's fair game

Many people have clarity over what's going on, the hard part is dodging and outsmarting human trash like Piers while still making use of their platform to spread the truth and counteract their propaganda.

That's the really hard part and the reason why I respect him immensely for this.

Maybe public opinion will change now that there's white victims of the genocide too

You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying

If they haven't done all this until now, what makes you think they'll do it then?

The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we'll discuss it then

It's possible that you've all seen this and I'm late to the party, but I watched the lecture and I feel enlightened.

It's so refreshing to hear the sound of reason on a topic that's so infested with propaganda and fury from people completely uneducated on the topic or people who intentionally want to confuse others, some to the point of saying that Stalin is comparable or even worse than Hitler.

I'm honestly surprised that it's not taken down as "Russian spy propaganda or some shit", probably because he's an american proffessor that would surely cause a ruckus by being silenced.

 

I would like to do a small-medium guide on something I did that I couldn't find so many resources for, what do you think would be the best place to do this without so much hassle and preferably with free hosting?

 

@sunaurus@lemm.ee I'm crossposting this here just to make sure that you get to see it.

In the past months, there's a been a issue in various instances where accounts would start uploading blatant CSAM to popular communities. First of all this traumatizes anyone who gets to see it before the admins get to it, including the admins who have to review to take it down. Second of all, even if the content is a link to an external site, lemmy sill caches the thumbnail and stores it in the local pict-rs, causing headaches for the admins who have to somehow clear that out. Finally, both image posts and problematic thumbnails are federated to other lemmy instances, and then likewise stored in their pict-rs, causing such content to be stored in their image storage.

This has caused multiple instances to take radical measures, from defederating liberaly, to stopping image uploads to even shutting down.

Today I'm happy to announce that I've spend multiple days developing a tool you can plug into your instance to stop this at the source: pictrs-safety

Using a new feature from pictr-rs 0.4.3 we can now cause pictrs to call an arbitary endpoint to validate the content of an image before uploading it. pictrs-safety builds that endpoint which uses an asynchronous approach to validate such images.

I had already developed fedi-safety which could be used to regularly go through your image storage and delete all potential CSAM. I have now extended fedi-safety to plug into pict-rs safety and scan images sent by pict-rs.

The end effect is that any images uploaded or federated into your instance will be scanned in advance and if fedi-safety thinks they're potential CSAM, they will not be uploaded to your image storage at all!

This covers three important vectors for abuse:

  • Malicious users cannot upload CSAM to for trolling communities. Even novel GenerativeAI CSAM.
  • Users cannot upload CSAM images and never submit a post or comment (making them invisible to admins). The images will be automatically rejected during upload
  • Deferated images and thumbnails of CSAM will be rejected by your pict-rs.

Now, that said, this tool is AI-driven and thus, not perfect. There will be false positives, especially around lewd images and images which contain children or child-topics (even if not lewd). This is the bargain we have to take to prevent the bigger problem above.

By my napkin calculations, false positive rates are below 1%, but certainly someone's innocent meme will eventually be affected. If this happen, I request to just move on as currently we don't have a way to whitelist specific images. Don't try to resize or modify the images to pass the filter. It won't help you.

For lemmy admins:

  • pictrs-safety contains a docker-compose sample you can add to your lemmy's docker-compose. You will need to your put the .env in the same folder, or adjust the provided variables. (All kudos to @Penguincoder@beehaw.org for the docker support).
  • You need to adjust your pict-rs ENVIRONMENT as well. Check the readme.
  • fedi-safety must run on a system with GPU. The reason for this is that lemmy provides just a 10-seconds grace period for each upload before it times out the upload regardless of the results. A CPU scan will not be fast enough. However my architecture allows the fedi-safety to run on a different place than pictrs-safety. I am currently running it from my desktop. In fact, if you have a lot of images to scan, you can connect multiple scanning workers to pictrs-safety!
  • For those who don't have access to a GPU, I am working on a NSFW-scanner which will use the AI-Horde directly instead and won't require using fedi-safety at all. Stay tuned.

For other fediverse software admins

fedi-safety can already be used to scan your image storage for CSAM, so you can also protect yourself and your users, even on mastodon or firefish or whatever.

I will try to provide real-time scanning in the future for each software as well and PRs are welcome.

Divisions by zero

This tool is already active now on divisions by zero. It's usage should be transparent to you, but do let me know if you notice anything wrong.

Support

If you appreciate the priority work that I've put in this tool, please consider supporting this and future development work on liberapay:

https://liberapay.com/db0/

All my work is and will always be FOSS and available for all who need it most.

 

I've seen that the instance owner has a whitelist and blacklist for their instance, but say that I make an instance of my own and want to federate.

Must each and every instance owner manually add me to the whitelist, or is there some kind of public database where I can add my instance and automatically be added to everyone's whitelist?

 

What are your opinions on the future of back-end web development? Is the Java ecosystem going to wither away as more modern and better solutions are emerging and maturing?

If so, which language/framework and/or programming paradigm do you think will become the new dominant player and how soon?

Personally I would love to see Rust becoming a new standard, it's a pleasure to write and has a rapidly growing ecosystem, I don't think it's far away from overtaking Java. The biggest hurdle imo is big corporations taking a pretty big risk by choosing a relatively new language that's harder to learn compared to what has been the standard for decades.

Playing it safe means you minimize surprises and have a very large amount of people that are already experts in the language.

Taking the risk will definitely improve a lot of things given that you find enough people that know or are willing to learn Rust, but it also means that you're trading off Java flaws with Rust flaws. That's the case however with every big change, and Java flaws are a good enough reason to make a big change.
