that’s a brutal hack. so they hacked the hosting update server, made it monitor incoming IPs, and then selectively uploaded a compromised backdoor update based on IP only to certain computers so it would go undetected longer?

it’s awful, but technically impressive that someone could remotely hack the server like that and set up such a complex system to target IPs… unless it was a state actor that compelled the server company to provide local access, in which case it’s less impressive.

shoutout to evilsocket! nothing like this ever gets access with opensnitch

People who use lemmy are a very particular subset, people who self-host another, and you are posting this, saying various things about the government in a long AI-generated post, then claiming you wrote it yourself. People don’t randomly lie. You’re being paid.

Your post is CLEARLY written by AI. Your responses aren’t. So you’re being deceptive.

Your posting in a self-hosted community, preaching self-hosting to people who already do it. You could very well be trying to identify people who hold more unusual views about technology and harbor anti-governemnt sentiments. You think people here are stupid? You’re clearly a liar and probably working for someone. No one lies like that without an agenda.

shut the fuck up you liar

You’re a liar. No one is that influenced. The post is AI, your responses aren’t. Who are you?

To everyone other than OP: this may be someone trying to collect data on people on lemmy and what their views are on the government. This person is lying and being deceptive. Something is off.

This thread is by a malicious actor trying to collect data on lemmy users.

It’s something someone could have generated on their own, but the diction and linguistic style is similar to AI.

“Before you roll your eyes about this getting political - stay with me, because” - linguistic style of AI

“Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed.” -linguistic style of AI

“This isn’t about being a prepper or going off-grid. This is about building infrastructure that operates on fundamentally different principles:” -linguistic style of AI

Your responses to people accusing you of being AI seem human. So who are you? What are you? Are you a government agent trying to do data collection on people? Why write the post with AI, basically trying to collect data on users here or get data about users, and then deny it’s AI when it clearly is?

Yes, people are being influenced by AI writing styles but NO ONE IS THIS INFLUENCED. You’re fucking lying. FUCK YOU.
