I’m curious how could it be unclear that this post is about the TTS part? Espeak is provided as an example.

On the other hand, Vaultwarden can only be updated online. While I do use it, I consider it a major downside, along with the inability to sync attachments.
I mean if your OS was “smart” as not to send IO to devices that indicate critical failure (e.g. by marking them read-only in the array?), and then thinks all devices have failed critically, wouldn’t this happen in that kind of system as well…

Technology@lemmy.world•AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report FindsEnglish
11·4 months agoThe problem isn’t the tool, it’s the user: they don’t know if they’re getting good code or not, therefore they cannot make the prompt to improve it.
In my view the problems occur when using AI to do something you don’t already know how to do.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu 25.10's Rust Coreutils Transition Has Uncovered Performance ShortcomingsEnglish
1·4 months agoThey don’t need to use semantic versioning. I doubt coreutils itself uses it, though I admit I haven’t checked. Actually I think semantic versioning is less popular in practice than it looks like.
For a set of tools to that completely replaces another one, announcing a 1.0 version would be a message that the developers think the project has actually reached its initial goals. “0.2” does not.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu 25.10's Rust Coreutils Transition Has Uncovered Performance Shortcomings
25·4 months agoRust is great, but might it be a bit premature to replace the venerable coreutils with a project boasting version number 0.2, which I imagine reflects its author’s view on its maturity?

Technology@lemmy.world•The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewallEnglish
21·5 months agoWhen user enters a prompt, the backend may retrieve a handful a pages to serve that prompt. It won’t retrieve all the pages of a site. Hardly different from a user using a search engine and clicking 5 topmost links into tabs. If that is not a DoS attack, then an agent doing the same isn’t a DDoS attack.
Constructing the training material in the first place is a different matter, but if you’re asking about fresh events or new APIs, the training data just doesn’t cut it. The training, and subsequenctly the material retrieval, has been done a long time ago.

Technology@lemmy.world•The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewallEnglish
25·5 months agoThis is not about training data, though.
Perplexity argues that Cloudflare is mischaracterizing AI Assistants as web crawlers, saying that they should not be subject to the same restrictions since they are user-initiated assistants.
Personally I think that claim is a decent one: user-initiated request should not be subject to robot limitations, and are not the source of DDOS attack to web sites.
I think the solution is quite clear, though: either make use of the user identity to walz through the blocks, or even make use of the user browser to do it. Once a captcha appears, let the user solve it.
Though technically making all this happen flawlessly is quite a big task.
The poor sap was probably trying to get the wifi working :/.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...English
3·7 months agoYou configure vlans per physical port, so in a properly implemented system your attack won’t be possible. When the packet comes to the switch the vlan tag is added to it according to the configuration for the port it was received from.
Or are you talking about mac-vlans?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...English
8·7 months agoDepends on you hw. That seems rather poor implementation… I believe my TP switch might handle that, because it rejects traffic to its management interface from mac X from vlan 20 because it sees the same mac in vlan 10… (only vlan 20 is allowed for management)

Technology@lemmy.world•Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stationsEnglish
10·7 months agoWell, if these devices required any sort of authentication (e.g. pairing) to free access to their ram and flash, we wouldn’t be having this particular story…
It’s nice that this exists, but even for this I’d prefer to use an open source tool.
And it of course helps with migration only if the old HS is still online…
I think most practically this migration function would be built inside some Matrix client (one that would support more than one server to start with), but I suppose a standalone tool would be a decent solution as well.
Wish the homeserver portability would be worked on more. The ability to change homeserver would really allow people to more easily move on from matrix.org.
Myself included ;).
Optimally it would even allow the switch “after the fact”, so after your original homeserver is down, assuming your client has a local copy of the server-side secret storage. It would need to be based on some cryptographic identity then, I suppose.
flux@lemmy.mltoAsshole Design@lemmy.ml•It should be a law that you should be able to turn off auto-renew on subscription services without canceling the plan
2·8 months agoPersonally I believe free trials are a great idea, and businesses should be able to offer them eithout the risk of losing actual business to it l, while at the same time I believe people should be able to make an informed decision before entering a payment (even more so to a recurring one).
This could be arranged by a simple request from the vendor that confirms you wish to pay or not when the trial ends.
To me this sounds like a perfectly reasonable requirement that doesn’t try to trick either side of the transaction.

1·8 months agoAnd how about web-based services? Fingerprinting goes only so far. Good for statistics, not good for preventing people from a free trial.
flux@lemmy.mltoAsshole Design@lemmy.ml•It should be a law that you should be able to turn off auto-renew on subscription services without canceling the plan
5·8 months agoWithout that it would be quite easy to abuse the trials, no?
But certainly moving to paid subscription should require an active action from the customer.

Does he already not have the opportunity, robot or not?

Factorio is on sale, I thought that never happens?! Also, it’s not on sale for me.
Factorio is nice, but maybe not the one to pick at this budget.
Oxygen Not Included is a solid choice, though.
