I've never seen it, but my former French teacher said that when they watch football games in France, it's expected to stand up and sing along to the Marseillaise with a hand on your heart.

And in Germany, it wasn't uncommon to play the national anthem in a disco at midnight.

Every nation on the planet demands patriotism. Some nations are just less subtle about it than others.

It's a chinese celebration of nationalism in an outpost of British universities.

Don't get me wrong: nationalism is cringe. But this just reads like xenophobic scaremongering.

It does concern British people

Yeah... hardly.

especially if China is able to increase it's influence on British based profit driven educational institutions.

So... what's the danger here? What "influence" does China get out of this, exactly? That students studying on a Nottingham Campus in China will get a chance to see how ridiculous state propaganda (they're already used to in Britain - just from the British former Empire) can get?

It's hardly a news concerning british people in Europe. Also: I thought thiscomm was more for the EU.

Where connection to Europe?

I've yet to see a good one.

I guess it would be most accurate to say that The US (with no mention of allies) could take Moscow

Yeah, that's where Isdisagree. Although I'm no military stategist. I simply don't think that a nuclear power the size of Russia could be conquered that easily without nuclear retaliation.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 days ago

That's just bullshit. Russian's military (it's not just Putin - he's an authoritarian, but he's not a supreme leader - he has to watch his step very carefully or the next authoritarian will take his place) definetly did have a strategic interest in the black sea. That's why all that annexation of crimea business started (afaik).

So it's the Russian government that's enforcing the nation state's interest here, definetly not due to the "personal whim" of someone.

Putin can't afford to be a mad king. He definetly isn't the only one in the Kremlin who can just disappear people...

I'm not claiming that they're not effective at defending. I'm arguing that they're still a tool of imperialism.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

That doesn't explain why Russia should have any strategic interest in invading Europe, though.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Ok. That makes sense. But wouldn't it have beenmore accurate to claim that the US (and it's allies) "could take Moscowin days"?

Where's the whataboutism?

 

Don't know if it has been posted here, yet. Couldn't find it with a search.

 

Don't know if this is the right comm. Let me know if there's a better one.

Inthe last few days I noticed that the results of some public searxng instances has gotten way worse (mostly cyrillic/chinese text when searching english text with :en).

Does anyone else have that problem? Die google start the next anti-consumer tactic to push their AI garbage?

 

I wrote in this post that I'm uncomfortaple to argue "genetical[ly] or genealogical[ly]" why people "belong" in some place or another. I think that's ethno-nationalist reasoning and a "weapon of the enemy" reasoning applies. Even if it's in favour of Palestinians.

But apparently, that's "settler-colonialist apologism" for dessalines. Ethno-nationalism is ok if it's targeting "the right" people, I guess. /s

I think the reasoning of the comment removal is bollocks. Just because I don't want to argue why someone "belongs" someplace because of their genes, I'm not all of a sudden in favour of settler-colonialism.

 

Doensn't look like he moth larvae pictures I found online. Looks a bit similar to the larvae of a Dermestidae. But still not sure.

Sorry for the low quality picture. It's hard to make macro images.

 

Zoe Baker and Anark release a video in the same week? Let's fucking gooooo! ❤️🖤

Hi!

I'm supplying a small camp I'm participating in with Internet/Wifi, so I built an x86 OpenWRT router with an LTE modem... it took forever, but now it's working. (camp is quite outback for open wifi routers) So now I thought: What if we could share files for... anything easily via the router without setting up SAMBA on their phones or whatever.

So I thought of services like Sharedrop, or drop.lol, or litterbox.moe or pastebin or whatever. And that it would be super convenient to fileshare without the Internet or whatever.

There are a lot of self-hosted options available but which ones run on that 8GB OpenWRT router I set up. (Should be easy - that's a powerhouse for writeaple drive space in a router.

So: what's the best idea here? I can set up a http server, but I guess an ftp server would work as well. Althoug it would be perfect if it worked with phones and ad-hoc filesharing (download and upload, preferably with QR-code generation).

I know stuff like magic wormhole or localsend or warp, but all of those are a bit of a hassle for noobs to setup (i.e.: opening a firewall, which you shouldn't do if you don't know what you're doing). That's why I was thinking: hosted in the router.

You got any ideas what I can run on my potato of a server/beefcake of a router?

Hi!

I have a subsonic instance running but I rarely listen to Albums. Stuff I really like are DJ performances like by the channel The Moment.

So I thought: why not download and self-host them before Google makes Youtube sign-in only, (like Elon and Facebook did).

That stuff is probably quite hard to organize. But the type of music simply breaks the common services, like Jellyfin, or Subsonic.

I know of funkwhale. But I'd like to keep the contents private. I just wanna listen to music at work (so being open to the web is a plus). I thought funkwhale is a bit too... "social" for me. I'm a (re)uploader, not creator.

You got any ideas? Maybe a youtube-cloner with audio-only support? (I know how to download videos already)

Edit: Of course, I'd download the sets legally, e.g. from their patreon discord, or whatever. ;)

Also: I know that restricting it to my VPN would be ideal for security and legality reasons. But that's a bit inconvenient. And I want to check my options.

 

Hi!

A bit of background/motivation: Sharing photos of protests can be an important part of the PR of political organizations. However, not everyone feels safe sharing their faces in connection to political organizing. That's why usually, faces are pixellated, or people wear face covering masks (which might be illegal on protests in some juristictions). Pixellated/hidden faces are quite ugly to normies, though, which can reduce the effectiveness of the publication.

So I had this idea: What if instead of pixelating the faces, I run some CV software on the image and all the faces get swapped with the faces of Hedy Lamarr, Diego Luna, or JC Denton. I remember that Snapchat could do live faceswaps with the selfie cam ten years ago, so some desktop software like that shouldn't be too hard to find in 2025, right? /j

Unfortunately, all the stuff I managed to find was some computer science projects in which you train some monster model with one hell of a dataset of each face you want to replace/emplace (which defeats the purpose of anonymizing political activists). Or some obnoxious AI startup which is waaaaay too busy sucking off Elon Musk and/or Sam Altman. I don't want to give my money/data to some doomed AI startup which ends up selling our likenesses to the NSA.

TL;DR: Is there some kind of desktop software which detects faces in an image and swaps them with another face? It's ok if there's only a framework (as long as it's not as bad as all the horrible OpenCV results you find in online tutorials).

Edit: I found something that I can work with
