  1. It’s funny how anti-AI activists are adopting the same bullshit methods that they accuse AI adopters of using…

    “Fulton said he started looking around on GitHub for open source AI music detection tools, and ended up building a new, open source detector that relies on open source models called SONICS, the lofcz vocoder fakeprint detector, and other open data sets. SoullessMusic also scans a track’s metadata for any tags that might tie it back to a specific AI music generator, and Fulton says he also has a script that scans Wikipedia for existing entries on an artist. Users can submit tracks from Spotify to the site they suspect are AI generated, and Fulton reviews them manually before adding them to the database. Despite all of this, he admits the system is not perfect.

    Both Soulless Music and SlopTracker use AI and other automated tools to detect AI music. As we’ve written previously, using AI detectors to detect AI content is an inherently flawed process that can lead to false positives. When I asked him how he handles cases of false positives, Fulton said “it's not ideal when that happens, but it's going to happen because it's still quite tricky to check what's AI and what’s not.”

    Spotify’s lack of transparency and unwillingness to label AI-generated music makes it impossible to track how much money its making on the platform. Last year, the company announced that it would it would AI disclosures on AI generated music, but I haven’t seen it on any of the dozens of tracks I reviewed for this story. Udio and Sudo both include inaudible digital watermarking in their generation, which in theory could make it easy for Spotify to tag these tracks.”

  3. Wondering why Tor Browser refuses to run with sudo? Learn what changes when you run it as root, why it's unsafe, and the correct way to launch it on Linux.

  5. sudo-rs, sudo rewritten in Rust, was not happy with a sudoers file that worked fine in the pre-Rust version. Fixed it for now using the visudo command.

    #sudo #Rust #Ubuntu

  6. Hot take: if it took a rewrite in #Rust for #sudo to show how many characters you've entered, maybe passwd and all the other classic Unix tools should be rewritten too.
    And then maybe when you set up #Linux in WSL for your partner for the first time, they won't think their computer is frozen when the password prompt gives zero feedback to their typing.

  8. People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.


    #Windows is the blue pill.

    You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

    #Linux is the red pill.

    You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

    At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

    But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

    No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

    No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

    You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

    You are Neo.

    Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

    Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

    Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

    But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

    And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

    Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

  9. Today I had a first: a completely unpracticed, but still successful at :-)

    Someone talked about replacing with 's , so I talked about a feature not implemented there, but used at many places after my various sudo talks: central session recording

  11. took me some time, but..

    I am consolidating my hosted servers and have to move some data.
    * no shared storage
    * data belongs root and I do not want to do this with this user.
    * I use fido ssh keys, I have to touch the stick to verify.
    * I can sudo on both servers

    1. ssh-agent needs to run, agentforwarding enabled and the keys need to be loaded. (that's the more obvious part)
    2. rsync parameter magic to pass authentication through sudo

    #sudo #rsync #linux

  12. @Haydar

    Ehrlich gesagt mag ich #sudo überhaupt nicht.

    Es wird mal eben viel zu oft zwischendurch angewandt.

    Sich als #Admin anmelden und der Desktop leuchtet in Gefahr rot, vermittelt einem viel besser das Gefahr drohen kann

  14. Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass "sudo" auf #Spanisch bedeutet "ich schwitze" - und ich finde das passt. Die Verwendung dieses Kommandos kann Schweißausbrüche zur Folge haben, wenn es falsch angewendet wird. #sudo #Linux

  16. Cómo ajustar el tiempo de espera de sudo tras una contraseña incorrecta en CachyOS

    Hace unos días me encontré con una situación bastante común: escribir mal la contraseña al usar sudo. Nada grave, salvo por un detalle que seguramente muchos usuarios de Linux conocen bien: el sistema obliga a esperar unos segundos antes de permitir un nuevo intento. Normalmente no le damos importancia, pero cuando te ocurre varias veces seguidas, esos segundos terminan haciéndose más largos de lo que parecen. Esto me llevó a investigar cómo funciona realmente este comportamiento en […]

  18. Deploying my first #Ubuntu 26.04 servers, the new #Rust based #sudo was the first thing to bite me when using my regular #Ansible playbooks and roles. The workaround for now is to add ”export ANSIBLE_BECOME_EXE=sudo.ws” to the script I use to populate variables before triggering the ansible-playbook command.

  20. 🚀💻 Ah, the classic tale of a tech wizard who can't enable #JavaScript or figure out #sudo but wants to dominate x.com. Apparently, the best "workaround" is to break privacy extensions and hope for the best. 🙃🔧
