Good luck !

I’ve tried 3 time signin to facebook using fake ID, I always ended up ban after a fews days because of “suspicious activities” (probably because of VPN or PiHole). It require a videos selfy to validate I’m not a bot. I tried to create one using genAI but it didn’t worked.

• https://gitlab.com/ for more complex projects (requiring issue tracker, CI, deploy, etc…)

Metal Gear Solid ending theme, the best is yet to come.

25 years later, it still gives me goosebumps and tears.

Thank you M. Kojima.

What:

• wiki on how to self host a wiki
• contact (cardDAV)
• calibre (eBook collection)
• custom app to handle my finance
• HomeAssistant to follow solar production
• PiHole so I don’t have to install adblock on all devices

How:

• mainly yunohost hosted on my internet box
• some dockers in a raspberry Pi 3

How to I secured it:

• I changed the default ssh port 😎
• Excepted some chineeses bots, no one except me connect to this server. I’m convinced that when you live alone in the wood, you don’t need to lock your door. So I think the basic auth system provided by yunohost is enough for me.

Marketing also request for a kitten.

Take a pen. Draw a line of 80cm. That’s your life. Draw a tick at 14cm. That’s where you are.

Life is long.Take your time, don’t rush it. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

I won’t tell the same thing to a 20 year old, but teens tend to think that life last just a few year and want to rush anything by their 20 🙂

Was discussing about physics, relativity, quantum, etc… with a colleague after a few beer and he told me “a model is just a model, it’s not the reality.” Mind blowing moment. I’ve always considered the physics we learned at school was a description of reality, but no. It will always be just an approximation.

You can use vi in emacs, so it makes emacs a pretty good os actually.

I’m working with RealWear. Not really an AR glass, but interesting experience anyway.

There is no headache or nausea at all. That’s the main point compared to immersive VR. You see the real world, so the brain is not disturbed by screen latency. I once kept it on the head 7 hour a day, 5 days in a row and did’t felt any disconfort. Whereas I cannot keep a VR headset for more than 15min.

My company have an R&D lab in California with any kind of VR and AR devices, but I’m in France 😟.

My 2 cents.

<disclamer>I don’t want to troll, this is a serious comment and I just want to highlight different perspective to improve mutual understanding.</disclamer>

Definition of words depend on the context. They are model to express ideas and have a common understanding of things. A bit like Newtonian model explain why planete orbit around the sun (Until mercury drift comes into play).

If we were on the context of neurological conference or medical comitte, I would completly agree with you. But we are on Internet, on Lemmy, and on a post that don’t even aimed to talk about mental disorder. Stating this, when talking about illness in this context, one refer to high level definition of illness that you’ll first find in the dictionary. According to Oxford dictionary: “a condition in which the body or mind is harmed because an organ or part is unable to work as it usually does; a disease or sickness”

I hope you would agree that, taking only this definition, Autism, at least more extrem cases, respect this definiton.

Adding precision can be usefull, but you’re then changing context. Let’s take an analogy.

My daugther asked me yesterday why the sun rise on a side and fall on the other side of the horizon. I told here it’s because sun rotate around the earth. This explanation is enough to answer the question, and is in the context of talking to a 5 year old girl. There is no need to explain that earth actually rotate on itself and around the sun, and that rotate around galaxy. There is no need to detail about Newtonian mecanic, nor general relativity in this context. This would just add noise to the discussion. The geocentric model is true in this context.

Another analogy. I’m talking about multiplication, and affirm that ab = ba. In this context, without precision, everyone agree with this. But, strickly speaking, multiplication being a binary operation acting inside a group, it’s not always commutative. Typically, matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, ab = ba in the context of algebric structure is false.

As a matematician, there would be no reasons to feel ofended or to claim that ab=ba is false when commenting post talking about, let say, carpentry. You can precise that, when digging into the details, there are cases when ab != ba, to open another discussion, but claiming that ab != ba, in the context of carpentry, is just… wrong.

Worst than that, it generate conflicts. You claim that someone is wrong without arguing, or explaining your own context. Going to the extreme, I’m quite conviced this kind of behavior fuel intolerance, up to the point of having a a retarded redhead elected (I think this will become the new godwin point). Most of people have nothing against Autism, LGBTQRST+, or whatever minorities. But being constantly corrected that “there is no 2 gender”, “autism is not a decease”, “the terms master or blacklist are ofending because it refer to slavery”, etc… just becomes unbearable and makes people fall into intolerance. Not because they have something against the minory itself, but because they feel attacked.

My 2 cents.

I think I’ve spot the autistic guy.

Depend on the level. It’s a spectrum, but at some point it do become a illness.

I have a high IQ and diagnosed as “gifted” by psy at nearly 40.

I won’t argue about IQ and Giftedness having scientific base or not. All I can do is a professional clinical psy told me I am gifted. And what I’ll say is just my way of thinking.

I have a systemic brain. I have very poor memory concerning names, date, etc… but I can remember complex system (basically, what cause create which consequence) really easily. I also understand problem, and find solutions much faster than most of peoples, I have strong Intuition of things, but I have difficulties explaining how I’ve found the solution. Scientists think it may be related to Myelin. That stuff increase connection speed between neurons, so it makes you think “faster”, but sometime faster than you conscience.

I also wants to give meaning to anything. If I take a nap and hear the wind in the trees, I immediately imagine air molecules traveling and hitting leaves, sound wave propagating and hitting my ears. Wind also blowing the small layer of hotter air near my skin, explaining why it feel cold, etc…

I see object through their functioning, not their usefulness. When I see any new machine, I don’t really care what it does, but more how it does it.

I’m constantly flooded by information, and I’m constantly analyzing everything. Being in a crowed area is exhausting for me, because there are too many stimulus. I’m not going to faint or something, but I think being in a crowd for me is like being in a kindergarten class full of screaming children.

I don’t talk a lot because I’m easily bored by small-talks. I don’t see the point of speaking about what I’ve done this week end, or the weather, or anything. I prefer staying in my own bubble speaking to myself.

I don’t feel part of this world, I more feel like an observer watching some weird TV show. I don’t understand most of human reaction.

If you are French speaking, I strongly encourage you to read the comics Comme oiseau dans bocal. It’s based on serious research and is a very good popular science story about IQ, giftedness, etc…
