Age verification

Lately there has been a lot of controversy about age verification and it's implementation in places such as UK and US.

The main critic to this mechanism is due being done through facial recognition or a government ID which are privacy invasive.

So here is my question as someone who comes from IT, wouldn't it be possible to create a device which just gives out true or false depending if the person is of age, given some kind of piece of DNA (hair, blood, nails) ?

I known there is carbon dating, but from what I understand is a bit of complicated process. The human body however shows it's age visually and I would be interested to know if genetically there are some signs as well that could be somewhat used in a automatic process.

Again I come from IT, just curious about the implications and your takes on the problem.

MBWay

Sei que já foi aqui falado mas alguém arranjou uma nova forma de instar o MBWay sem os google play services.

Já tentei instalar pelo apk fornecido num post antigo pelo ![email protected] e não dá diz que é uma versão desatualizada e não me deixa entrar.

Eu costumava utilizar uma app chamada shelter para no perfil de trabalho instalar a AppGallery e os HMS core services e depois pela AppGallery o MBWay mas msm isso agora não está a dar entro meto o meu numero e código e a app volta atrás para introduzir novamente o numero sem qualquer notificação de erro.

Seems about right

Don't talk to me if you do not have 200+ years of experience with containers.

*edit

Just did math in case it was a bit flip ( Was really pumped if this was a show case in the wild ), but it does not make sense the number even without the most valued bit was bonkers ( 87 years ).

So my guess it was indeed a bug or a memory issue.

I liked the aussie breakdance performance on the olympics

Idk, I found it weird, quirky and kinda cute on it's own way.

After the trial, she even let out a statement, which in my perspective, tells me that was what she was going for, something different, something fun !!!

In the posts I have seem the comments were a bit mean, like :

  • How did she got in the Olympics ?!
  • WTF was that ?
  • Was that a joke . . .

...

I am not even Australian, but I really enjoyed the trow down.

Turn tablet into ereader

Just like the title says I want to turn an old tablet of mine into an ereader.

The tablet in question is samsung galaxy tab 3 in which I installed postMarketOS.

I installed the console version, and once everything was set up I ssd into the machine and installed the following packages :

greetd, greetd-openrc, cage, fuse

Downloaded koreader app image into /bin/

Activated the greetd service

rc-update add greetd default

and configured /etc/greetd/config.toml with the following

[terminal]

vt = 1

[default_session]

command="agreety -c sh"
user="greeter"

[initial_session]

command="cage -s -d -- koreader"
user="me"

and rebooted the tablet, however I am still stuck with the login prompt no matter what I do.

Any tips on how fix this or a other way I could accomplish my goal?

Update

Got autologin working by ditching out greetd and using agetty, and a simple fortune command to run on startup.

After this I went for the kill and tried to install KOreader using flatpak, due to App Images not playing alright with Alpine. However I noticed something there is no arm build of KOreader for linux arm so my plans were cut short.

Will try to compile KOreader to linux arm if not successful will just put a nice UI and use the little guy as a portable hacking machine.

New update

KOreader was mess to compile so I looked for alternatives and found out foliate which fits my criteria (opds, epub and pdf support) and is in the alpine repos.

Played around with cage and got the thing somewhat working, however no virtual keyboard support for now, figuring that out now.

nvidia jetson + media server + ollama,stable diffusion, . . .

Not upgrading just taking notes.

I got a rasberry pi 5 running most of my services now, and it's doing fine. Usually for my movies and stuff I go to streaming sites, legal ofc *cough *cough, but down the line I intend to build a media server too.

The stuff I got laying arround wont do much with upgrades. So if I indeed wanted to upgrade my setup and run a media server + some AI stuff, I think I would be better off just buying a nvidia jetson SBC than building a tower from scratch.

What do u guys think?

Can't be the only one right?

So I created this blog from scratch, and after posting my first article I noticed something.

I suffer from post-Post clarity

I have noticied before when posting random bullshit online, but holy shit, now having to write longer stuff, it's clear as day.

As soon as I press the publish button even after re-reading the whole thing, everywhere I look is spelling/grammar mistakes and stupid takes.

How in hell does this happen?

Anyways as a proof of concept any edit will be in comment thread.

Home server 1.0

Tried some times to get a home server up and running but never followed it through, last week got some time, grabbed my new rasberry pi 5 8GB (it's a f*cking beast) and came up with this setup.

Nothing unusual besides the podman quadlets/systemd thingies which I did not saw much out there.

Any tips and services recommendations?

Bem que se fodam os meus dados, né?!

As uns tempos andei á procura de emprego e utilizei 3 plataformas, net-empregos, ibersol e eurofirms. Hoje decidi eleminar as contas para ver se esta situação do spam melhora.

Apresento-vos agora a minha experiência :

  • net-empregos : procurei em perfil, defenições, privacidade e tudo quanto são abas. Nada !!!

    • Acabei por ficar com a conta que até gosto da plataforma.
  • ibersol : mesma coisa

    • Enviei um email para o suporte a pedir que me apagem a conta segundo os direiros establecidos no GDPR
  • eurofirms : leva pontos por realmente tentar e uma interface toda bonitinha mas quando chego á hora de eleminar a conta parto-me a rir com isto:

Bem vou ver se resultou, essa ultima obrigou-me quase que a fazer este post, digam ai outras similares se tiverem.

Why don't technical books have a issues page?

What's is assumed as correct might not be tomorrow.

Many technical books suffer from that, being it small technicalities or huge issues.

Some books have new editions to solve that, however many don't and even then it would be useful to know inaccuracies present on each edition.

A simple issues page referenced in the beginning of the book would be golden, why inst it a thing yet?

O melhor de cá: Literatura

Continuando com a saga, deixem ai os vossos bitatites em relação ao estado da literatura em portugal.

Toda a gente conhece os Saramagos, Pessoas e os Camões da Vida, que autores é que pensam que merecem o destaque dado a estes grandes?

Vou ser sincero o que costumo ler é maioritariamente ficção estrangeira, Dune,1984,Foundation,Wheel of time,To sleep in a sea of stars, entre outros.

Mas sempre quis mergulhar nas nossas, suponho abrangentes, águas.

Dead Man Switch

This week I read a post about the death of the Boeing whistleblower, and how Boeing might have suicided him.

I don't care about if the rumors are true or not, however someone mentioned in the comments that in such situations one should always have a Dead Man Switch.

For those who don't know a Dead Man Switch is basically an action TBD in case you die, like leaking documents, send messages/emails, kill a server etc . . .

The concept tickled me a bit, and I decided I want to build a similar system for myself. No, I am not in danger but I would like to send last goodbyes to friends and family. I think it would be cool concept.

How would you go and build such service?

I thinking of using a VPS to do the actions because it would be running for a while before my debit card gets cancelled.

The thing that is bugging me out is the trigger, I will not put that responsibility onto someone that's cheating, so it would have to be something which can reliably tell I am dead and has to run regularly.

Where is what I come up with :

  • Ask a country association through email if am I am dead.

  • Check if I haven't logged out on my password manager in a week. If it's even possible.

TLDR; Give me ideas on how to build a DEAD MAN SWITCH and what triggers should I use.

Laptop keyboard cover/mousepad

OK hear me out, I just got a new laptop and been using the shitty keyboard cover which it came it.

As it was kinda nasty I went looking for a new one, had my mouse mat on my left and though "uh if only u were the right size and a bit slimmer" and an idea just ringed my hears

"Laptop keyboard cover that could double duty as a mouse pad"

Soft surface and grippy edges so it wouldn't slide, washable so u can get ridd of the nastyness of the tables u bring it to.

Currently I carry everyday my laptop, my mouse and the charger. If bringing a mousepad was as simple as removing the keyboard cover and putting it in my desk I would pay a couple bucks for it.

My question is :

  • Does it exist? ( not that I am aware )
  • Would it be cool or niche of mine?
  • How to make a patent and make scam kickstart?
