  • Turning the Tables: How to Make Spammers Reveal Their Own IP Address

    Jump

  • I started getting spam in German to an email address I gave to the town hall of my town. They use multiple domains to send it, but they all have the same link format that redirects to a fake AI-generated dating site. I've tried reporting some to the police, as well as the hosting providers, but haven't heard back at all. I'd like to delete the address, but it's the one town hall uses to reach me...

  • Found out just now he made a video about it and explained his actual experience using it, it's really cool! Glad to see more folks sharing this stuff.

  • Awesome! I hope he will help share this with more folks, the friends who I've talked into finally giving modern non-Ubuntu Linux a shot love it, but there's a lot of work to get over the damaged image created by the countless "linux user installing a browser" memes. I'm sure someone with his reach can help though :)

  • Fair enough! I was discussing this with a friend who lives in Hungary and she was aware of the newish specific ban on "pride", but yeah as you said it is not a surprising or new rethoric for the country. Facial recognition is worrying though I fear regulating its use will be very difficult, and this is an important case for that which may impact all of the EU.

  • Hey, thanks for pointing me directly to it. I wonder why there is so much noise about AI face detection when the core issue seems to be that pride is banned in the first place (and this is one way they want to enforce it).

  • Is banning Pride events as a whole legal under EU law?

  • I dual booted Ubuntu originally, but I never used it. Had to really make the jump when I installed Arch on my desktop in ~2020 because I heard it would run games better. I've stayed 100% on Linux since! After trying quite a few distros (Fedora, Debian, EndeavourOS, Garuda, Archcraft, more I'm forgetting) I have finally settled on NixOS... it's been over a year and I still haven't switched, that's gotta be worth something :)

  • Have you had a bad experience with canned peaches? I volunteered at a food bank a while back and we each had our station and gave out what people asked from that category (types of bread, fruits, etc). I don't recall seeing canned peaches or folks' reaction to them, but I'll be on the lookout next time!

  • I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened

  • Darn. I recall reading good articles from some of these publications in the past. Shame...

  • This article reads like satire... it's sentence after sentence of "and I did it using one of the [best office chairs]" which is a link to some review by themselves. Every bit mentioned had an affiliate link and there wasn't an actual review of what the experience (software, setup, visual fidelity) is like??

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • Ouch, that sucks yeah. Guess I got lucky with the games my friends like to play. Only one is I guess Valorant, but I don't engage with that one anyways. Guess you're stuck on the dual boot until devs of these games start ticking the Proton support box :P

  • What games keep you on Windows? Besides a few anticheat-enabled ones which choose not to support it, basically everything works fine. I game (and work in gamedev!) 100% on Linux.

  • Are Linux Phones Ready in 2025?

  • Never heard of FuriLabs, looks really cool. How open is the OS/hardware? Could be my next phone... though I'd love to see an immutable approach so I can't be left with a broken system after an update.

  • I think this pinpointa what makes configuring Linux so much fun for me. It's one little problem/challenge after the next, it never prevents me from working but it does always give me something to work toward. Currenrly working on a notification display for my bar, and I hope it will be just as satisfying in the end as when I got my mouse to animate with movements or when I got my config to set my wallpapers correctly no matter the host.

  • AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality

    Jump

  • The article is good, however I'd really appreciate having fedi-style content warnings on AI-generated images. I don't interact with mainstream social mediums so I generally do not see it, however in the thumbnail and contents of the article there are some quite disturbing images and videos that I'd have chosen not to see (description is enough) given the choice...
