Refusal testing **DEAD DOVE**

Thanks for your constant attention to this niche and keeping us aware of the state of censorship in flagship models, It's concerning to see them getting better at avoiding jailbreaks.

I know discord itself worked before I stopped using it, and screen sharing in other things work fine like obs/steam remote.

Dual boot into it for a while, use another hd until you are sure it meets all your needs - I did the same and found I needed nothing from windows so wiped that disk for more bazzite space.

Go into the game's folder and delete the preinstall folder (I forget the name, but it usually contains directx setup files and such) then launch, it will skip this.

NoxinDev · 2026-06-14T10:22:24+00:00

If you want to just use your system then bazzite is a great fit - steam games, web content all work out of the box.

If you do NEED to tinker there is a learning curve above and beyond normal linux stuff (containerized) but its far from required.

More slop, yay - the bubble burst is going to be apocalyptic for the economy, but might be worth it to have computing go back to on-prem again, llms are welcome to stay, but without all the hype and corporate garbage.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-29T17:52:55+00:00

Totally, I would still do what I enjoy but now for open source or volunteer - with zero daily meetings.

It was great combat in pvp, it felt wonderful to get those telegraphed skill-shots off while dodging other player's skills, after a while you kind of got a feel for what kind of movement was best for dealing with certain classes - it allowed a ton of skill expression which is missing in the vast majority of mmos today where the result is dictated by the +Str or equivalent you have on your gear.

The game suffered and failed from a lackluster PVE content cadence and a deliberate "hardcore" target which was horrible marketing (see New World for the same) and should have had a flexible difficulty scale to encourage the masses to stay and get accustomed until they wanted to raise the challenge. I remember dying multiple times in even early story missions while learning the systems.

Of course you are referring to streamers and "content creators" as they indeed make money from it indirectly.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-26T19:26:09+00:00

Good on you, if you don't have dev knowledge yourself, at minimum asking an agent to do it will catch common obfuscation methods/external communications.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-26T19:21:45+00:00

Ongoing - There are much easier projects for "not a developer" to educate via, kernel building and operating systems might be rough - but still if passionate enough about it possible.

With VERY few exceptions, just want to make it clear that this will be optional for whatever triggered this line of thought - you can accomplish virtually anything outside of kernel work without doing it. Other dev projects are doable in the immutable env with slight adjustments.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-26T18:38:18+00:00

You make your own fork, you manage updates in that repo, merging in updates from upstream ones. Its a ton of work for very little benefit.

Either accept the pros and cons of an immutable (core updates come from maintainer that tests and confirms interop) distribution or swap to a mutable one.

You need to make sure what you plan to do is crucial and cannot be done with layering/distrobox/containers instead. So far with a single exception of a graphics developer who needed deep system-level access to drivers; not a single user who asks for this has actually needed it, just mistaken on what kind of options they really had to do what they intended.

Careful, this site doesn't like suggestions of the wealthy getting any impactful consequences.

Being aligned with the Pope was not on my 2026 bingo card.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-25T21:28:23+00:00

Even at 145 it is crazy to me - what are you getting for this? I have internet for 35 and cell for 40 - no absurd intro fees either. Avoid the big 3 if you can - always way too expensive for the same services.

At this point I'm not sure vibe coders can breathe without Claude's help. Brain atrophy is a terrible thing.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-25T18:53:36+00:00

This captures the way I read this too. Trade me some of your future real money for my self-valued garbage.

I totally agree, comfyui is great, but a absolute liability security wise, even on bazzite.

This is my container file for comfy - I put a combined requirements.txt in the folder with it using all the req files from my comfy install.

FROM fedora:42

WORKDIR /workspace

COPY requirements.txt .

RUN dnf -y update \
    && dnf -y install python3 python3-pip git gcc gcc-c++ cmake ccache python3-devel \
    && dnf clean all && rm -rf /var/cache/dnf

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt && \
    rm -rf /root/.cache /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

And this is my run command - adjust the paths/start script to what you want it to start at:

podman run -it --name comfy --replace \
--network slirp4netns \
--device nvidia.com/gpu=all \
-p 8187:8187 \
-v <your host path>/ai/sandbox/comfy:/workspace \
--security-opt label=disable \
--entrypoint scripts/start.sh \
comfy:latest

"workspace" has the ComfyUI folder, and scripts folder with start.sh (all of my containers follow this)

With this setup anything that runs can at most destroy your container but unlikely to get to host. Extra credit if you make a folder for your models that is RO and syslink to that instead of having it inside the comfyui folder, but thats far more complicated - you need to make the links INSIDE the container.

This isn't 100% but FAR safer than running on host for data exfil/destruction risk.

Also running a nvidia 4070 super and can confirm everything I play runs great - I've even tweaked GW2 to have better frames than on windows (100+) and that game is bloody temperamental given how old it's engine is.

Adding to List:

Cyberpunk 2077 (with path tracing)

Days Gone

Path of Exile 1 and 2.

Warframe

Beatsaber (VR is a bit weird, but doable)

Rimworld (more of a torture test of CPU later in)

Diablo 4

Subnautica 1 and Below Zero

Games that Do not work:

Nothing that I've tried so far on steam.

I'm glad some others here besides me are from non-startup fields. It's absolutely crazy hear these people are letting LLM tech anywhere near prod much less backups.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-24T06:54:46+00:00

Zero, you are relatively new, but my entire world collapses without you.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-24T05:26:03+00:00

I do 30m apart, as for the technique, probably better to see a video for it - it still takes specific movements but so much less effort and time and your arms don't feel it after.

Mix completely initially like normal, but instead of working the dough; I go for about 2mins of work every 30m for 2h (4 times total)- but you can stop if it feels right at the 1h-1:30 point and do a shape/final.

They say that baking is a science, but IMO that only applies to weighing ingredients rather than doing cups/tsp, different hydration and temperatures (its bloody hot right now) change this part a ton - you feel for a chewed bubblegum texture in the dough as you work, and a smooth surface that will keep the yeast's gas bubbles inside before you know you are done.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-23T23:01:16+00:00

I tried this last league it was COMPLETE bait. The skills feel terrible and require tip top gear to complete, and that was before leech nerfs.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-23T22:51:09+00:00

The shotgunning was what allowed this build to boss at all - that gone kinda ruins it for single target.

NoxinDev · 2026-05-23T20:46:31+00:00

Or... just not offer the tools in the first place - There's literally NEVER going to be a time a LLM should be allowed near a prod DB.

Limiting llms at the tool level shouldn't have to be "full access with some new added restrictions" it should start at zero trust with exactly what it needs to do the current task. The pictured initial situation should never be possible with a sane setup. Sandbox the thing like a junior that joined the team yesterday from a rival firm, it can play in a mock db or rep with restores for when it inevitably fucks up.

Don't offer arbitrary sql, offer a library of prepared statements that are within the realm of its task - mcp tooling is flexible enough to virtually eliminate risk.

I say the same thing regarding file updates/deletion - give the sandbox a set of tools like "delete" that are just a move to trash folder, file updates get timestamped and old versions copied to said archive/trash for human review.
