Thank you, but I am sorry, may I ask you why post such a message to everyone in the Community or Lemmy, if the button has almost always been there, right in the center of the default layout?:

I had an idea it’s configurable in its admin-panel, but it may not. Please check the following:

So, to conclude: the official documentation is right. Hot-swappable or not, the UPS cannot boot without at least a bit of charge in the batteries. That’s all it requires to come back online — and start to fully charge the batteries. I did not experiment to see if, after having booted, I could remove the batteries at will and put them back in again, with the UPS automatically managing the switch to AC power. So that question remains unanswered.

The problem, in your case (as well as on mine) is that the batteries have to be installed first before you know if the motherboard is fine or not.

I am sorry, but I believe it’s impossible For years, they don’t respond, and I still have no idea why and when I got shadow-banned myself:

It might be their automation system at the start of them trying “AI” and I got into a list by a mistake, yet no one ever cared or will care.
There were at least ~340 Euro I invested into the account at Reddit giving awards mostly, and a few NFT avatars, and for what?
I lost hope in Reddit, and won’t consider their support or anything serious from that point, unfortunately…

…than that prompt to get the same results…

I am sorry, but I am not sure about the same results. At all.
In case of scripts, yet - your program will always work the same it is supposed to.
In LLMs? You never know. The main idea behind it is “feedback”, and each next iteration may not match the previous.

…
- Human - But I see lxc-204 was backed-up on 2026-05-19 in the logs.
- LLM - You have a sharp eye! This was my mistake, I am sorry. There’s indeed a record that it was backed-up. Now, take another look!

Of course, but the possibly LLM-generated article at 8ksec has no actual preview of even undisclosed proof-of-concept (PoC).
And the article is used as the main source at the Tom’s Hardware article, too.
Therefore, the question is, what is the main point of both the articles, if?:

1. No PoC preview is stated at all;
2. No LLM use is stated in the initial source (at 8ksec);
3. An explicit LLM use at 8ksec is mentioned in the Tom’s Hardware - Mythos by Anthropic;

In other words, it feels more like an ad for Mythos and Apple but based on absolutely no evidence at this point of time, and Mythos is mentioned at Tom’s Hardware article only.

I am sorry, but I didn’t see any actual exploit evidence, but just the ad “groundbreaking” Apple’s MIE and previous CVEs mentioned.

Nor there is any use of LLM/“AI” explicitly stated, too, except the article itself it refers to, which looks like LLM-written: 8ksec.io/mie-deep-dive-enabling-apps [web-archived]

Update (2026-05-17_13-09_0):
- In other words, it feels more like an ad for Mythos and Apple but based on absolutely no evidence at this point of time, and Mythos is mentioned at Tom’s Hardware article only.

The pass was audited more than the still freaking awesome KeePassXC mentioned (e.g. discussion#9921).
Also, no GUI is required, unless you meant keepassxc-cli.

More software supports pass out-of-the-box, including Git, Rclone, Docker etc., which you usually can change/proxy to a KeePass database handler like keepassxc-cli, but still.

Therefore, the KeePass specification is a marvel, too, especially for generally more convenient personal use, but Pass and GPG are just the enterprise/professional standard trusted by marvelous vendors (e.g. DigiCert).

keepassx2pass.py: imports KeepassX XML data
keepass2csv2pass.py: imports Keepass2 CSV data
keepass2pass.py: imports Keepass2 XML data

Just to clarify, how is it better than pass?: https://www.passwordstore.org/

Roger that! Thank you for being a developer and improving the ineffably magnificent world! ✨

In this case, we do relatively the same, and usually in database seeding and model factories, I believe, but personally I am more into the Laravel and Symfony, where the mentioned above PHP library is used there under the hood.

Please to stay safe!

A whole library, or a yet another ad for Python, sorry? Why not marvelous Perl, or any lovely PHP’s or a JavaScript faker?
Why a library in the first place?

In case of PHP (checked in v8.1)

echo date('Y-m-d', rand(strtotime('-90 years'), strtotime('-18 years')));
// 2007-07-30

And, I had a snippet for JavaScript (tested in the current Chrome’s EcmaScript).
We get the years in milliseconds, and substract from the current time.

console.log(new Date(Date.now() - 365*24*60*60*1000 * (18 + Math.random()*72)).toISOString().slice(0, 10));
// 1984-07-20

In shell even! Let’s use the common suit GNU coreutils (e.g. v9.4).
We have 90y - 18y = 72 years, that is 26,280 days or ~26,297 days (source)

$ date -d "-18 years -$(( RANDOM % 26297 )) days" -- '+%F';
# 1976-04-06

“You shouldn’t have to choose between open and secure.” The implementation backs that up. The friction is one-time for power users, but it’s a genuine obstacle for scammers and it makes opportunistic spyware installation meaningfully harder.

His argument: power users absorb a one-time inconvenience while vulnerable people (scam victims, children) get protected…
The pattern HN picked up immediately…

That’s the true believer pattern. The argument is ideological, so persuasion is off the table. He read the laws, decided compliance was the correct response, and went to work. Every objection the community raised went nowhere: that this enables surveillance infrastructure, that lying is trivially easy, that the laws themselves are unconstitutional overreach. He’d already accepted the law as legitimate and moved to implementation…

He hit three separate projects in one week…
He agreed entirely, writing that the approach would be “completely ineffective at preventing anyone from lying about their age.” He called it “hilariously pointless.” Then he said Arch Linux should implement it anyway because the law requires it…

The open source community has always relied on the assumption that contributors act in good faith toward user freedom. Taylor probably believes he does. The laws say collect birth dates, so he collected birth dates, and in his framing that was being helpful.

The reason to name him is the pattern. The surveillance state runs on volunteers: people who do the implementation work for free, out of genuine conviction, with no paper trail connecting them to the money that wrote the laws…

Taylor already has the resume line and knows the codebase well enough to try again. The deadline pressure only grows, the laws are real, and someone will be next. The community needs to recognize the pattern before the PR opens, not after.

Wonderful day!

Just in case, there’s a term in “anglicism”:

…word or construction borrowed from English by another language. Due to the global dominance of English in the 20th and 21st centuries, many English terms have become widespread in other languages.
Technology-related English words like internet and computer are prevalent across the globe, as there are no pre-existing words for them.
English words are sometimes imported verbatim and sometimes adapted to the importing language in a process similar to anglicisation.

Source

For more than a decade, I’ve been trying to learn Russian, mostly for the art and the job I have. And, I did notice that there are words, in common/casual speech that do indeed include pure English terms/words, or even adapted from.
There’s a Russian page for “Anglicism”, too:
- https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Англицизмы

It makes sense, since it’s one of the most easiest languages out there, with straightforward rules, with some exceptions you get on the road, and rare/archaic words you get eventually memorized in your own dictionary.
The Email messages are in the common/formal form/template even, you may know, too! I.e., header/body/footer/signature.

For example, I’ll try recalling some:

- “гаджет” ~ “gadget”;
- “дилер” ~ “dealer”;
- “фрилансер” ~ “freelancer”;
- “комп”/“компьютер” ~ “computer”;
- “чилить”/“чилю” ~ “chilling”;
- “таск” ~ “task”;
- “бейба” ~ “baby”;
- “чика” ~ “chick”;
- “аутсорсинг” ~ “outsource”;
- “секси” ~ “sexy”;
- “гайд” ~ “guide”;
- “булинг” ~ “bulling”;
- “трабл” ~ “trouble”;
- “маркетинг” ~ “marketing”;
- “постить” ~ “to post” (social network posts/articles);
- “гамать” ~ “to play a game”;
- “клатч” ~ “clutch”;
- “дедлайн” ~ “deadline”;
- “бит” ~ “bit”;
- “байт” ~ “byte”;
- “клуб” ~ “club”;
…
- or even… “эйчар” ~ “HR” (head hunter, employer)…

These I recalled now only, and I do believe it’s possible to write/base any English word in Russian.
Though, nowadays, my main is English, I was born in Lithuania, and Lithuanian language does also feature such words!
For example, “skenuoti” (to scan); “baitas” (byte), “seifas” (safe/safebox); “clubas” (club); etc.

Such a miraculous magnificent world of language development!

Do you actually want “fast” AI-sloppy maintenance/nonsense, where customers would get even more issues eventually, and ruin the reputation?

Adequate verification and careful, responsible attitude to changes requires time.
I am sorry, but I have no idea how you may “hate” accountability.

I see… Another “quick win” makes a little sense then too, sorry.

This won’t last enough, I believe, and may result in permanent distrust even. The person who believed you will eventually realize you lied to them, and why should they trust you in the future?

Meaning, why start from a lie in the first place? A foundation built on a lie eventually collapses, and the people who trusted that lie are often the ones who get hurt the most.

Since you clearly have a message people value, that is, current terrible privacy issues, why not give them a better start, an actual path with a reason to trust you, the purpose and idea, for the long run by carrying the truth instead?

This makes no sense, sorry. Why would it be silver out of anything like stainless steel?

Wonderful day!

I am sorry, but considering your quite exquisite name, it feels like you searched for Communities already!
Yet, feeling your appreciated interest in the marvelous programming language, have you checked out more focused Communities?:

I’d definitely recommend the following book, too!:
- https://amazon.com/dp/0131103628 (“C Programming Language, 2nd Edition”… by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie…)

“Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything” nowadays, a.k.a. vibe-living, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square to prevent contagion, and then A.I. should resurrect you virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity…

Criticizing A.I. as a criminal plagiarizing machine that steals the work of artists without permission or compensation used to strike me as a bit hyperbolic…

The point is, I’m not saying all this to defend humanity. Humanity sucks. It’s totally terrible. I’m saying this because I believe in an old-fashioned virtue called Doing the Freakin’ Work.

Read the book, not the summary.
Write the piece, not the prompt.

Suffer like the artist you are. It ain’t easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing.

Obviously, there’s no creativity in AI, and especially in art.

AI makes no art, and there’s nothing to search for in it, also considering the amount of different people works and effort meatground into digital limited/sampled quantized data. It’s noise.

There’s no place for a machine in it, otherwise it becomes limited, lacking, and lifeless.
Art exists for people, us the humans to communicate with each other through time and narrow channels as general languages.

> “There are always two people in every picture…” ~ Ansel Adams

Source (AI struggles with true creativity compared to humans, study finds…)

Fudge AI in art, and creativity, or even technical responsible fields like programming.
And isn’t programming for human to control machinery, too?
I do still recall the book that featured Lisp, from MIT University we read:

Our goal is that students who complete this subject should have a good feel for the elements of style and the aesthetics of programming.

They should have command of the major techniques for controlling complexity in a large system.
They should be capable of reading a 50- page-long program, if it is written in an exemplary style.
They should know what not to read, and what they need not understand at any moment.
They should feel secure about modifying a program, retaining the spirit and style of the original author.

These skills are by no means unique to computer programming. The techniques we teach and draw upon are common to all of engineering design. We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate.
We control complexity by establishing conventional interfaces that enable us to construct systems by combining standard, well-understood pieces in a “mix and match” way. We control complexity by establishing new languages for describing a design, each of which emphasizes particular aspects of the design and deemphasizes others.

Generative is empty. It’s noise. Do you like listen to and learn from noise? I don’t, and will never.
Effort helps to realize the significance and infinite marvel of art…
Art is of human for human.

Wonderful day!

I am very sorry to know that…

It looks like the SMD capacitor got removed, indeed, and though it’s possible to utterly carefully solder it, the traces must also be re-verified.
The traces may require a careful soldering, too and/or at least an oscilloscope to compare the signals and not just a basic multi-meter, since their current widths, in the place of the scratch, may affect the signal for both the ends, I believe.

Sincere apologies, but I would not trust the device from now on, and would replace it. Yes, it’s another investment, but it should support you in long term with much less worries and guaranteed stability!

May I ask, why do you live there? Family? Highly paid job? Have you considered moving to a more warmer part of the Earth?
