A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich

May I ask, is the actual author known? I hope it’s not an LLM’s output…

Of course they don’t. Anyone actually accountable, I believe, have their own researches on the subjects done, and instantly notices trolling.
We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

Lemmy trolls…

I’ve been into web-dev since 2007, I’ve been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve’s Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?

Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?

It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it’s easy to deploy and release since you don’t have to compile it every single time.
Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.

You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven’t yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.

I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don’t do their own research of almost 40 years of life.

PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.

Oh! You might as well ask your “vibes” about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.

You do you, indeed.

P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

I see. Thank you, and I appreciate the clarification in response!
The dear terminology, languages, and misunderstandings… Isn’t that why art exists in the first place, indeed…
To support the creativity mentioned:

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

Absolutely incomparable technologies…
Please, at least, finally, seriously consider the terms, and technologies in question, @can@sh.itjust.works (aka. TrashCan).

You compare a calculator-like… or a clock-like marvelous solid system without any feedback logic, with a system as unpredictable LLM with an algorithm that is designed to change the output on every iteration.

You turn off the modular system, your reset it, and you may trust it to start over.
LLM? LLM has its indefinitely accumulated data set initially “trained” on numerous copyrighted human work and meatground into pieces no one is responsible for.

I am sorry, but have you seen works of Colin Benders even?
In the former, within a modular synthetic system, you execute commands and control the electricity and logic flow manually.
In the latter, you prompt in dear hope, and wish all Gods that token-burning input will finally produce an “output” you want.

AI art is not art. It is a horrible void-empty bloody nonsense no one I know would like invest their finite life time into…

Human music is art, that is supposed to support people in communication that is impossible to express in general terms. This why I listen to music in the infinitely magnificent world we appeared… I listen to people. You?

I’m going to open a cable shop next to where this man lives…

Holy gracious smokes… Why don’t people read… and the call people “liers”? How indifferent and echo-chambered you must be to act as these people who “heroically reveal” already known, proving that they have no idea what they are talking about, sorry?

The “Secret Chat” encryption has been known for at least a decade and more…

Secret chats are meant for people who want more security than the average fella. All messages in secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means only you and the recipient can read those messages — nobody else can decipher them, including us here at Telegram. Messages cannot be forwarded from secret chats. You can also order your messages to self-destruct in a set amount of time after they have been read by the recipient. The message will then disappear from both your and your friend’s devices.

One last difference between secret and ordinary chats in Telegram is that secret chats are not stored in our cloud. You can only access messages in a secret chat from their device of origin.

Please… please, dear authors of these “reveals”, as @archipc@lemmy.ml… please consider you being tricked by competitors of Telegram who also “reveal” nonsense just for people like you…

And please… check your sources… make personal researches… stop believing the first “news” you read…

This is not just a Linux distro. It’s a satellite drifting through the universe of code and possibility - for you, for everyone, forever free…
Built with ❤️ by one developer, for the entire world.

Oh! I see! Just in case, Traefik has great options for debugging, and logging (e.g. TRACE log level)! Not to mention custom plugins! There’s a great Discourse based forum, and there’s both IRC and Discord Communities, too! Though, you might have already checked those!

For the reverse-proxy you may find Traefik marvelous, in case if Nginx/HAproxy is too featureful for the case.

Thank you! Fixed!
It had a redundant character > in the URL path I accidentally added during the formatting.

There are numerous options to choose from already existing… Yet, some should just consider that the recent “age verification” were initiated for another purpose than a general age verification process. Have you checked out the recent Persona source code exposed?

Regardless, some civilian approaches to be mentioned is how the verification is handled in Baltic countries, that is Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, for example:

Smart-ID is the easiest, safest and fastest way to authenticate yourself online, register in e-services and sign documents…
Smart-ID can be used to log in to e-services, for online banking and for signing documents.

Source: https://www.smart-id.com/

-–

Smart-ID itself has no age restrictions for its users – but age limits have been set by identity providers and depend on the Smart-ID account type and authentication method chosen…

Creating a Smart-ID account for a minor requires a parent/legal guardian to authenticate their account…

Don’t just click “continue”: read the instructions on the screen carefully and double check that all the information you enter is correct, and the whole process will be easy and stress-free… The child cannot continue with their registration until we’ve got one parent approval…

Source

For the API, for instance:

# Where can I find users date of birth?

Birth of date is encoded into personal identity code. Latvian new personal identity code format is exception though. Special birth of date field will be added to Smart-ID certificates in stages and only for Qualified accounts.

For convinience smart-id-java-client and smart-id-php-client have special function getDateOfBirth… for that. For getting that info directly from certificate see getDateOfBirthCertificateAttribute and getDateOfBirthFromCertificateField.

Source

Similar to Latvia, the number of Estonia and Lithuania has the date of infinitely magnificent event as someone’s date of birth, too!

The ways in which such a system is implemented vary among countries, but in most cases citizens are issued an identification number upon reaching legal age, or when they are born…

In Estonia, a Personal Identification Code (Estonian: isikukood, abbreviated as IK) is formed on the basis of the sex and date of birth of a person…

In Lithuania the Personal Code (Lithuanian: asmens kodas) consists of 11 digits, and currently is in the form G YYMMDD NNN C, where G is gender & birth century, YYMMDD is the birthday, NNN is a serial number, C is a checksum digit…
/* ... */ C = lt_nin_checksum("3840915201");

Source

Therefore, there should be an option to verify the age without the personal identification code. And if not, just a personal number got within the age verification scope, transferred within secure government session channel, should be enough. The government, in turn, won’t share such information with untrusted services - access to the API.

Wait… there’s no LLM/AI nonsensical utter bloody-void horrible mess?
My gracious holy smokes… THANK YOU!!! Thank you… from the very depths of my heart… and soul… for making something that is actually important… that is for human…

Thank you, dear @expyth0n@lemmy.world for the marvel… art… you do…

There’s still belief in effort, education, human, art… in the purpose…

The origins of my 20-year art career were not that different from many other artists. I started learning the craft by seeking out inspirational artworks, and it is something I continue to do…

Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Artists use their passions to create original art, with the intention of offering the viewer a unique vision and experience.
As an artist, I spend a good deal of time determining the best way to approach my work. Coming up with the original idea is just the first step. I also have to consider which medium would be best to explore the idea, materials to use with it, and the size of the work. Imagine how insignificant a landscape would be on a postcard, or how ridiculously terrifying a wall-sized closeup of a single human eye would be. I also consider if I want to paint in a lot of detail, or leave the brush strokes more open.
All of these thoughts, and many more, are planned in an effort to get a reaction emotionally from the viewer…

A reproduction can show the general idea of art, but it can not offer the unique experience of reflecting on the full story that an original piece offers. Original artworks feature textures, lighting differences, and environments evoking the emotions that the artist intended.

Seeing an original piece of art in a museum is a unique, transcendent experience, substantially better than any reproduction could possibly be. With reproductions being produced with the wrong resolution, terrible and inaccurate colors, and of bad quality, the experience of seeing reproduced art betrays the emotion and intent that the artist wanted to create.
The original artwork can educate about techniques, colors, and even movements within art history. Original pieces offer admiration of the artist, and reflection for the viewer, in unique and environmental ways that simply are not possible online or with printed reproductions.

To truly see artwork, to find the experience that the artist wanted the viewer to have, finding the original piece of art is the best way to live through artwork.

Ineffably… M-M-M-Marvelous… lous… lous… lous…
No words…

Oh no no no no no…
Please, God, Gods, or whoever, no…

I absolutely don’t want my descendants to talk with some void-empty limited bloody-meatground utter nonsense… I don’t want that freaking awful mess of terribly limited data to talk with my children or their children possibly framing and damaging their true memories and genuine confidence in me I had been developing the whole life… I don’t want them to remember the algorithm or some imitation of me talking with a machine or some chat bot… no… never… please no… PLEASE NO…
No…
No…
Never…
No…

Some limited inhuman stupid chat/voice/avatar/anything bot? No…
Some bot that may erroneously represent me behind my back?
Never…
Some nonsense that may reshape memories of my ancestors?
No…
Never…
No…

If I am dead, I am dead. I want my descendants to just remember me, talk to me in their memories, real videos, audios, and photos, my effort, my ideas and love in artwork if ever they’ll be interested… and once in a while visit the grave, at least 2-3 times per their life, if ever possible… and that’s it…

If I am dead, I am dead as my ancestors are, who are not dead for me being alive but in my memories or something more magnificent/supernatural, and how I remember them, where they wanted to be the best they could, respected, glorified, and admired, without disturbing them in memories, soul, and the heart they gifted me, who I will always appreciate, respect, and love…
