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 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
Pokémon Universal Basic Income?!


assuming this is on lemmy, if a user is causing that much disruption amd harassing people you could message the admin(s) of the user’s instance explaining the situation, provide evidence, and hope they’ll ban the user
if the user is banned and creates another account, repeat
if the user is on an instance that won’t ban them, contact the admins of other instances to try to have that instance deferated





solid is a neat idea, but the implementations are … jank, to put it politely, and the overall spec is hecking complicated
i don’t think the average developer, let alone user, is going to learn RDF and its various query and other adjunct languages just to control their data
i want to see it succeed, but i simply do not have high hopes on that front
