You’re not the only person, but it’s definitely not the way to keep your shit safe online.
Best practice is to use a different sufficiently strong (e.g. long and random) password for every account. That way, when an account’s password is leaked, it doesn’t immediately compromise every other account for which you’ve reused that password.
I generally advise people to use a password manager (I like Bitwarden) to store their myriad passwords, so they only have to remember a single master password.
ofc these bots aren’t necessarily sneaking into their operators’ password managers and stealing their passwords; the operators willingly and knowingly given the bots access to these things, so they can offload the drudgery of e.g. looking at a calendar to them


we could be using this technology to solve real world business problems



doesn’t even have to be the site owner poisoning the tool instructions (though that’s a fun-in-a-terrifying-way thought)
any money says they’re vulnerable to prompt injection in the comments and posts of the site


the bots behind subreddit simulator weren’t semi-autonomous agents with access to their operators’ private lives, auth tokens, passwords, emails (and gods only know what else), and the authority to act in the world on their behalf


genuinely terrifying


There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.


that’s a rough choice on a tight timeline
if you’re open to suggestions: take the severance package
anecdotally (including my own anecdatum) a PIP is just a step in building a case for constructive dismissal, especially if your workplace is a factor in your burnout. do you really want to have to work even harder for a chance at staying there?
take some time to recover from burnout (even if it means having less funds for a bit), then try and find something to do for employment thay doesn’t suck so hard
myself, I chose disappearing in the bureaucracy of a multinational enterprise for a reduced salary and title. getting away with only a few hours of work most days, and spending the rest of the time living my life




Was going to say the same thing.
The accident was … that they tested the original Default Brown TM, found it gave people motion sickness, and refined it? Or that the art director directed the artists to make the game stand out from the generic brown crowd?

The web’s dying. The FSF’s dying. Windows 11 is made out of people. Dont you see? It’s people. They’re making our software out of people. Next thing, they’ll be breeding us like cattle for training data. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!

the off-white background and low contrast font color are signs for sure
there are also subtle differences between each usage of a given character (the serif on each “e” and the apostrophes stand out most to me) and inconsistent kerning
when I was but a baby sysadmin, my boss did that to a production server

that error is coming from I2P, not nginx
so good news? your nginx configuration is probably fine
bad news? I know fuck all about I2P. assuming you’re intending to reach the “router console”, you could probably follow the suggested configuration change in the error message to Do That Thing
