What if somebody wrote a virus that infected windows computers to replace the OS with linux? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That would be an anti-virus.. x)

Since it would remove spy-ware from your computer.

No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS..

What is the best FOSS alarm clock app? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago

I've been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.

If you don't want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

Why do you care about privacy? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Why do you care about privacy? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

Feature requests for a lemmy moderation bot in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago

OP I agree with you, it's a great idea imo.
I've been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it's good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

China's EVs are fueling a big oil demand slowdown in c/evs@lemmy.world
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

I own a non-chinese EV and it currently is an unavoidable, unregulated, heap of spyware on wheels, all of them.

The only benefit it has is my data is going to data brokers in the EU, which has some privacy laws, not the Chinese government, which has the ability to request any and all data from all companies in their country.

[Release] Belfius Root (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/18470641

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

Forgejo or Radicle - Which do you prefer? (github.com)
 

Just finished writing out a lengthy comment,
with the up/downsides I can see
on each of the code forges I currently deem promising,

And I was wondering, out of following 2,
which code forge would you guys prefer and why?

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon,
through Citra Canary v2798 with:

And I gotta say,
I'm happily impressed by how good it looks!
Apart from the low resolution font/texts,
I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

Edit:
I disabled the High Resolution Textures,
because they cause:

  • Random game freezes in connection orb screens
  • Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
  • Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

[Guide] Introduction to fair Monero mining (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de to c/moneromining@monero.town

⛏️ Fair CPU pool mining introduction
Monero (XMR) is one of the only projects
which offer a way of mining in a pool as it should be implemented,
with P2Pool:

  • Fair - Instant payouts according to your share.
  • Decentralized - No pool owners - No centralized party handling the P2Pool.
  • Decentralized - Pool participants - Due to the RandomX algorithm being used, no specialized Antic miners can be built for XMR. Meaning that an average Joe can still participate and earn shares with their CPU.
  • Private - XMR itself continuously aims for the best possible privacy cryptography can offer.

Source Code / Links:

⛏️ Fair CPU pool mining guide
This guide will help you setting up a fair Monero miner,
please note, that you still will have to create your own config files for:
Gupax, P2Pool and XMRig

  1. Use Monero GUI to create a wallet
  2. Use Monero GUI to run your own monerod instance (Monero Node daemon),
    configure following startup flags under:
    Monero GUI => Settings => Node => Daemon startup flags: 
    --zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 
--out-peers 32 
--in-peers 64 
--add-priority-node=uwillrunanodesoon.moneroworld.com:18089 
--add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18081 
--disable-dns-checkpoints 
--enable-dns-blocklist 
--prune-blockchain 
--sync-pruned-blocks 
--db-sync-mode=safe
--log-level 1

These startup flags will help with:

  • Blocking malicious nodes
  • Keeping your copy of the blockchain as small as possible
  • Provide logging incase a priority-node goes down
    (Use Monero Fail for replacements)
  1. Configure the P2Pool + XMRig binary paths in Gupax under:
    Gupax => Gupax => P2Pool/XMRig PATHs
  2. Use Gupax to run P2Pool,
    connect to your local monerod instance by configuring P2Pool as following:
    Gupax => P2Pool => P2Pool Mini => Fill in the following: 
    Name = Local Monero Node
IP = 127.0.0.1
RPC = 18081
ZMQ = 18083
Out-peers = 32
In-peers = 64
  3. Use Gupax to run XMRig,
    connect to your local P2Pool as following:
    Gupax => XMRig => Command arguments (configure --threads as desired): 
    -c config.json 
-o 127.0.0.1:3333 
--http-host 127.0.0.1 
--http-port 18088 
--threads 30

This will make it possible to load a config.json file from the same directory as the XMRig binary

Notes

  • If you're gonna run on normal end-user hardware (e.g. Desktop/Laptop/Smartphone), then I'd recommend to mine on P2Pool Mini instead of the main P2Pool
  • Your P2Pool wallet adress is public, periodically move mined funds to a new, truly private XMR wallet
  • My use-case? I mine to support the cause and to earn a little back from heating my room during winter times 😄
