Closed source and clearly completely vibe coded? Just look at the site, it reeks of AI. Even this post has so much AI-speech.
Yea, no thanks.

Has AI been used to create this?
Do you really need to ask? 😅

Yes. They could just not set them at all in the published source, and just set them in their deployment. They are at least dishonest about the reasons for keeping the source closed, which is sad.

I'm also on Bluesky. Read today's thread there at:
https://bsky.app/profile/doctorow.pluralistic.net/post/3mzkj3fy4bk2j
eof/
OpenSSH 10.6p2 has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability.
https://openssh.com/releasenotes.html#10.6p2
If you operate a Linux system that uses musl libc without PAM (Alpine Linux is one example) then stop reading and set PasswordAuthentication=no or disable SSH for these systems IMMEDIATELY.
This vulnerability does not exist on non-Linux systems, Linux/glibc systems and Linux systems that use PAM for password authentication.
We consider the root cause of this bug to be outside OpenSSH itself, but we're in a good position to deliver a mitigation quickly.
We are making this release as fast as possible (we learned of the problem yesterday) because we have recently observed multiple cases of rapid bug rediscovery by AI agents, sometimes within hours, and so now consider long embargo periods to be a dangerous practice that primarily benefits attackers.
Thanks for Özgün Kültekin of Wakefield (wakefield.co) for reporting this problem to us and for the Alpine Linux developers for making an updated release available at very short notice.
Another consequence of a hierarchy is that the people above can, if they want, ignore information from below.
They usually do want to ignore it, too, because listening to the people you're exploiting makes it difficult to exploit them. This void of information is often filled with crude stereotypes created to justify that exploitation.
Men sort women into madonnas and whores, White people see Asians as inscrutable and Arabs as berserk murderers, het people regard gay people as promiscuous dandies, et cetera.

It was. And they’ve also erased its generated disclosures.

If the author’s profile is any indication, it’s likely Harmony was written using AI:

Not just that but the dev couldn’t even be bothered to write their own bio, what are the chances they took the time to look over a single line of code or test anything at all?

It’s wild that just the thumbnail alone can tell you it’s vibe-coded.
My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

@dansup Looking forward to that! There are quite a few .env vars that I am missing documentation for but that could be very useful to set up!

Anyone know about Harmony (ActivityPub chat like Discord)?
Federated social app: Discord-style servers and chat with ActivityPub.
https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony
I don’t remember hearing of it till now, yet it claims a lot of desired features. Github page shows only one contributor, one fork, 44 stars; lot of commits in the last week, oldest 3 years ago; GNU Affero General Public Licence v3.0.
