The dangerous push by Canonical to rewrite GNU coreutils as Rust code without the GNU license by blob42 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] blob42@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I posted 2 years ago about the same concerns on /r/StallmanWasRight and the lemmy rust community. Many dismissed it as a conspiracy theory ... Not that I agree with the form and language used in this article but ditching GPL coreutils from prominent distros is a turning point and slippery slope for Free Software and Linux.

Gosuki: a cloudless, real time, multi-browser, extension-free bookmark manager with multi-device sync (github.com)

TL;DR

Hi all !

I would like to showcase Gosuki: a multi-browser cloudless bookmark manager with multi-device sync capability, that I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers/profiles and external APIs such as Reddit and Github.

Features
  • A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
  • Multi-browser: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them including profiles.
  • Use the universal ctrl+d shortcut to add bookmarks and call custom commands.
  • Tag with #hashtags even if your browser does not support it. You can even add tags in the Title. If you are used to organize your bookmarks in folders, they become tags
  • Real time tracking of bookmark changes
  • Multi-device automated p2p synchronization
  • Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
  • Cli command (suki) for a dmenu/rofi compatible query of bookmarks
  • Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
  • Stores bookmarks on a portable on-disk sqlite database. No cloud involved.
  • Database compatible with Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
  • Can fetch bookmarks from external APIs (eg. Reddit posts, Github stars).
  • Easily extensible to handle any browser or API
  • Open source with an AGPLv3 license
Rationale

I was always annoyed by the existing bookmark management solutions and wanted a tool that just works without relying on browser extensions, self-hosted servers or cloud services. As a developer and Linux user I also find myself using multiple browsers simultaneously depending on the needs so I needed something that works with any browser and can handle multiple profiles per browser.

The few solutions that exist require manual management of bookmarks. Gosuki automatically catches any new bookmark in real time so no need to manually export and synchronize your bookmarks. It allows a tag based bookmarking experience even if the native browser does not support tags. You just hit ctrl+d and write your tags in the title.

Hi all !

Back again for a massive Gosuki 1.2.0 release, a multi-browser real time bookmark manager.

I posted about this project a month ago and had very positive feedback. Many users asked for multi-device sync so now Gosuki offers two methods to automatically synchronize your bookmarks across devices. Integration/import from other self hosted bookmark managers is in the works.

Anubis is awesome! Stopping (AI)crawlbots by blob42 in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[-] blob42@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I am planning to try it out, but for caddy users I came up with a solution that works after being bombarded by AI crawlers for weeks.

It is a custom caddy CEL expression filter coupled with caddy-ratelimit and caddy-defender.

Now here's the fun part, the defender plugin can produce garbage as response so when a matching AI crawler fits it will poison their training dataset.

Originally I only relied on the rate limiter and noticed that AI bots kept trying whenever the limit was reset. Once I introduced data poisoning they all stopped :)

git.blob42.xyz {
    @bot <<CEL
        header({'Accept-Language': 'zh-CN'}) || header_regexp('User-Agent', '(?i:(.*bot.*|.*crawler.*|.*meta.*|.*google.*|.*microsoft.*|.*spider.*))')
    CEL


    abort @bot
    

    defender garbage {

        ranges aws azurepubliccloud deepseek gcloud githubcopilot openai 47.0.0.0/8
      
    }

    rate_limit {
        zone dynamic_botstop {
            match {
                method GET
                 # to use with defender
                 #header X-RateLimit-Apply true
                 #not header LetMeThrough 1
            }
            key {remote_ip}
            events 1500
            window 30s
            #events 10
            #window 1m
        }
    }

    reverse_proxy upstream.server:4242

    handle_errors 429 {
        respond "429: Rate limit exceeded."
    }

}

If I am not mistaken the 47.0.0.0/8 ip block is for Alibaba cloud

Right now it's not yet built-in but it's on the high priority list of features and should be fairly easy to add soon. It will be either a self hosted sync server or a replicated architecture.

For mobile it can be achieved with the autoimport feature and Syncthing

https://gosuki.net/docs/features/multi_device_sync/

EDIT: the latest v1.2.0 also offers full peer-to-peer multi-device synchronization

Yes that's exactly how it works. It's the most difficult part of the project especially for Mozilla browsers.

I figured this is the last place browser vendors didn't dare yet to lock us out from it.

The program relies on pulling the bookmarks out of the filesystem. I have no idea how feasible it would be on Android given the sandboxed nature of apps.

However, it is possible to manually export from time to time your bookmarks to a folder that is synced with Syncthing for example. Gosuki has a bookmark html auto import feature that watches a folder and imports all bookmarks files when a change is detected. This is how I am personally doing it right now.

Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following? by blob42 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] blob42@lemmy.ml 26 points 5 months ago

IMO Despite some unjustified rumors Arch is a very stable distro. For me it feels the same as Debian stability wise while still being on the cutting edge side. The Arch wiki is the second most important reason.

Edit: Multi device synchronization is not yet available but is on the top priority list and likely implemented in this next release.

I resurrected CodeGPT - a minimalist command based LLM plugin for fast workflows with a template system (github.com)
submitted 5 months ago by blob42@lemmy.ml to c/neovim@sopuli.xyz
0 comments fedilink

Hi !

I am sharing codegpt-ng.nvim — a minimalist AI plugin designed for fast, "vim way" workflows.

How Does It Compare To X

This is a fork of CodeGPT.nvim fully refactored and brought back to life. Here is a quick overview of the new features:

  • Fully tested with Ollama and OpenAI API
  • Streaming mode for real-time popup responses
  • lua table-based configuration instead of global variables
  • Model definition inheritance: Define models that inherit other model parameters
  • New commands and helpers such as the % commmand range operator
  • Ability to cancel current request.
  • UI Query and select local or remote model
  • Strips thinking tokens from replies if the model forgets to use codeblocks
  • New callback types: insert_lines and prepend_lines
  • Refactored for idiomatic Lua and neovim plugin style
  • Simplified command system with explicit configuration
  • Chat History: Add example messages in a command definition
  • Tests with plenary library
  • Fixed statusline integration

And much more to cover here. I use it as my daily driver.

Contributions welcome !

Fun Fact: that same post has been instantly flagged as spam on the official /r/neovim reddit for no reason. I have been a member since years and replied to many posts and posted before. The state of the internet today is very sad. /rant_off

The worst was changing the best controller configuration UI when they retired Old Big Picture. The UX was absolutely perfect and paired with a steam controller you could make fairly complex configs easily. Now I am forced to use the old linux client on linux to keep the UI but cannot enjoy the new compatibility stuff like gamescope.

I think something sinister is happening with oxidizing all GNU projects (reddit crosspost) (www.reddit.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by blob42@lemmy.ml to c/rust@lemmy.ml
0 comments fedilink

I posted this over /r/StallmanWasRight and I am not sure it would be taken well at /r/Rust so here we are.

I have been getting into Rust in the last year but the licensing ecosystem of Rust crates makes me perplexed.

Today I came along this project https://github.com/uutils/coreutils that is trying to rewrite GNU coreutils in Rust and it is likely over the years projects like this one will overshadow many of the legacy GNU projects.

They are almost all made on "permissive" licenses that will give so much more power to corporations, in fact I am absolutely sure all these (big) rewrites are sponsored by corporations to escape the GNU safeguards that were built to protect users and society.

Does anyone else see this or am I just too paranoid ?

EDIT: It is not my intention to single out any specific project/team. Instead, I aim to initiate a meaningful discussion regarding the licensing choice. Rust is likely the first language since C that holds the capability to effectively replace the decades old, legacy libraries.

Picked this one for having hassle free LTE internet that I would be able to flash it for the stick version where there is no NAT, the carrier assigned ip is directly exposed without restrictions. It has also very good compatibility with Linux.

I found this blog article where the firmware E3372h-153 21.180.01.00.00 is mentioned. All the links are dead and it's so difficult to find anything with Google now that every single piece of information is controlled.

Any idea where I could look to find this kind of files ?
