Cool project.
TBH, I’m just about to locally ban a few kbin magazines that are just completely overrun with spam.
Wish they’d delegate some of the moderation at least.

They targeted smaller unattended mastodon and misskey instances… to create accounts there and post their spam all over the place including larger instances and lemmy.
Several hundred posts were removed since then.

Nice one, it has kind of a ‘world is spinning’ perspective.

To anyone reporting random stuff from this community on the basis of ‘fuck AI’, consider blocking what you don’t like from your feed instead of abusing people.
This will be considered report abuse and will get you banned.

Peace

Ironically, GPT can kinda get you started here…

To present your case effectively to your bosses and colleagues, focus on simplifying the technical aspects and emphasizing the potential risks associated with using a cloud-based AI transcription service:

1. Privacy Concerns: Explain that using a cloud-based solution means entrusting sensitive biometric data (your voice) to a third-party provider. Emphasize that this data could potentially be accessed or misused without your consent.

2. Security Risks: Highlight the risks of data breaches and unauthorized access to your voice recordings stored in the cloud. Mention recent high-profile cases of data breaches to illustrate the potential consequences.

3. Voice Cloning: Explain the concept of voice cloning and how AI algorithms can be trained to mimic your voice using the data stored in the cloud. Use simple examples or analogies to illustrate how this could be used for malicious purposes, such as impersonation or fraud.

4. Lack of Control: Stress that you have no control over how your voice data is used or stored once it’s uploaded to the cloud. Unlike a local solution where you have more oversight and control, a cloud-based service leaves you vulnerable to the policies and practices of the provider.

5. Legal and Ethical Implications: While you acknowledge that there may be existing recordings of your voice online, emphasize that knowingly contributing to the creation of a database that could potentially be used for unethical or illegal purposes raises serious concerns about professional ethics and personal privacy.

6. Alternative Solutions: Suggest alternative solutions that prioritize privacy and security, such as using local AI transcription software that does not upload data to the cloud or implementing stricter data protection policies within your organization.

By framing your concerns in terms of privacy, security, and ethical considerations, you can help your bosses and colleagues understand the potential risks associated with using a cloud-based AI transcription service without coming across as paranoid. Highlighting the importance of protecting sensitive data and maintaining control over personal information should resonate with individuals regardless of their level of technical expertise.

are you alright?

I can appreciate someone voting for their ideals rather than for their interests.

Yea, if anything it makes good practice.
Swapping hard drives in the larger data pool isn’t as daunting anymore.
Although, I gotta be honest, swapping drives in the zpool from which proxmox boots itself is still a bit iffy to me.
I had to set a reminder, because otherwise I won’t do it often enough.

Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that’s been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.

I use a ZFS pool for my home stuff too.
To minimize the pucker factor, I have an extra drive of the same capacity and I rotate through them in the mirror pool.
It makes good practice replacing and resilvering drives and since it’s a mirror it’s also kind of an offline backup.
Also, I had bought the initial drives at the same time and figured rotating though them would minimize the odds of failing around the same time.
I’m much less wary of the whole thing now that I’ve resilvered the drives several times.

Being on lemmy, I never really used kbin much.
All I know is there’s a ton of spam coming from there, and their moderation seems spread thin.

Are you trying to recover data here?
Seems like you didn’t use it and (maybe?) don’t have data to lose here?

Yup, lemmy works fine in a browser.
Also basically no apps support mod and admin actions or do it weird.
I’ll say that DMs could be a bit better in the browser, but otherwise it’s fine.

Yea I’ve been using nextcloud for a while and it’s fine.
I remember when I used owncloud before nextcloud was even a thing and the upgrade experience was absolute shit.
These days it’s just fine.

Bingo

If I may, I think I just found my Christmas card.
Even better because I dressed as Sailor Moon this Halloween and I’m an atheist.
The Sailor Nativity scene is perfect, my parents will be absolutely confused.

Fabulous

The way I see it, Meta and Zuck are a far far stretch from deserving either trust or benefit of the doubt.
Wait and see, sure, but I can be defederated while doing the waiting.

If for some magical reason, it turns out great, then we can just refederate once they’ve proven themselves.

Ahhh the ACME shareholders
