There's no such thing as "reliable" AI.

The "everyone dies" scenario is overwhelmingly likely given that no solutions to either inner or outer alignment exist.

His Github page [1] matches some of this. 83% commits, 14% PRs, 2% reviews, 1% issues. Clearly out of control.

Or, more accurately, Please don't.

That's what you get for using unfree software.

Meneth — Tue, 26 May 2026 12:00:24 +0000

I would imagine Red Hat are pretty close to "they", since they created Systemd and then there was the RHEL redistribution controversy [ https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/14k8jmw/can_someone... ].

Unfortunate that they aren't using the AGPL license. It will allow SAAS companies to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish.

Indeed, this seems to be already planned. https://radicle.dev/faq "Radworks intends to offer services built on top of Radicle."

No one can apply to be pope of the catholic church.

New comment by Meneth in "Canvas online again as ShinyHunters threatens to leak schools’ data"

Meneth — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:55:54 +0000

A bunch of plugins running on canvas.instructure.com are proprietary, according to their FAQ: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/wiki/FAQ.

I would guess these plugins are chosen so a majority of user won't want to live without them.

It also seems these plugins "link" to canvas-lms, so keeping the proprietary would be a GPL violation if anyone except Instructure holds part of the copyright to Canvas.

You know what you doing!

New comment by Meneth in "Who Is That Knocking at My (SSH) Door?"

Meneth — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:43:26 +0000

I got tired of dealing with SSH knocks and blocked the port for all external IPs, using WireGuard to get into the LAN.

WireGuard is nice because, unlike most other services, it operates on UDP and sends no reply packet unless you know the key, so attackers can't discover it by portscanning.

New comment by Meneth in "We found a stable Firefox identifier linking all your private Tor identities"

Meneth — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 20:00:04 +0000

I'm confused.

The IndexedDB UUID is "shared across all origins", so why not use the contents of the database to identify browers, rather than the ordering?

"solve security" - that's an April Fools joke if I ever heard one.

New comment by Meneth in "GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone without requiring personal information"

Meneth — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:01:37 +0000

To fight a thing, you must think about it.

The best way to avoid an -ism is to forget about it.

The fighters cannot forget, so they fall into a trap of their own making.
