Their search is opt-out of AI in settings, instead of google's approach of always on, and you can also use noai.duckduckgo.com to avoid configuring settings.

Their filtering out AI results is hit or miss, but at least they do provide an option to exclude some of those results.

They posted an update here.

poVoq here. I am starting to think I am cursed, because everything works fine (or is at least fixable with a remote server restart) until the second I go on a longer business trip and can’t easily access the hardware.

Remote access is mostly lost, but I was able to triangulate the issue and of course it is something I had on my list of potential issues, but as a low priority item 🫠 At least it isn’t the same problem again as in 2025.

What exactly triggered the issue is unclear though. I was still able to access the reverse-proxy server yesterday (shortly before it went down) and tried to do some updates for that php security problem in a VM that runs on the same machine. I thought I had those covered, but there is a slight chance that it is related and someone chained another exploit to escape the VM.

Anyways, it looks like the realistic / not overly optimistic scenario is that the server will stay down until christmas. I did have someone who could restart the servers on site until this summer, but they had to relocate to mainland Portugal for job reasons (tourism sector) and so they will also only return for christmas.

So yeah, not great at all, and I will have to think more seriously about how compatible this kind of self-hosting is with my current job, which limits my access to the servers for a few weeks at least once a year. It was easier during the pandemic times when I started all this, as deployments were shorter and more seldom back then.

I had Bluetooth issues with my computer, usb adapters were not working to pair controllers. I did manage to fix it by installing motherboard's driver manager, Gigabyte Control Center, and then installing their bluetooth drivers from there. So on the off chance you have a gigabyte motherboard that also has GCC, you might be able to try that to fix your bluetooth.

Not sure if the same solution would work for other motherboard vendors with their respective software, or if the problem I was having was limited to Gigabyte.

It almost certainly is, Both Sanitation and Time2lose use the term "reddit agent" when people point out the automated reposts.

It looks like it's an untagged bot automatically reposting, and unticking the 'show bots' checkmark wouldn't help. And it seems a human "sometimes" uses the account (1.34k posts : 44 comments)
Bot account that does not disclose they are a bot

Why did AI give the dog jiggle physics?

They automated mirroring posts from Reddit as a way to add content here (don't provide links to original posts either or make it clear that the content is mirrored). They don't really vet what they post either. Something thing they reposted from reddit was a person asking for help picking out PC parts for a gift, a post which the original poster would never see, and people here would just be wasting their time replying to a bot post instead of helping the OP. They've also repost the same article to the same community a couple hours later.

https://lemmy.world/post/51345527/25587759 A lot of the comments in this post point out that they are using AI to make posts and respond to comments.

In my experience, highschool teachers could not be bothered to look over or grade assignments. They would do a lazy "what grade do you think you deserve" essay at the start of the year and carry that grade that you gave yourself through the remaining terms regardless of how much work you did or did not do, even missing that mandatory assignments were skipped.

Some quick solutions would be:
Use cloudflare's 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3 DNS. At least this works on the device as long as they don't change the DNS on the device themselves.

It's a jet injector.

Numerous studies have found cross-infection of diseases from jet injections. An experiment using mice, published in 1985, showed that jet injectors would frequently transmit the viral infection lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDV) from one mouse to another.[16] Another study used the device on a calf, then tested the fluid remaining in the injector for blood. Every injector they tested had detectable blood in a quantity sufficient to pass on a virus such as hepatitis B.[15]

Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it's still around on a post about another instance being offline.
