“Using AI to #resurrect the dead has raised #ethical questions elsewhere. In 2020, Jang Ji-sung, a mother of four in South Korea, was virtually reunited with an AI-generated #avatar of her dead 7-year-old daughter. Ji-sung had said this helped her say farewell to her child, but “many #psychologists have come up and said this might, in some cases, make the #grieving process longer,” Rojas said.”

Rest of World · Companies in Mexico embrace AI to resurrect the deadUse of AI on images of the dead is unregulated in the country, leaving cybersecurity experts worried about the potential for deepfakes and identity theft.

The #Ukrainian city of #Bakhmut was founded in the 16th century, was once a fortress, was active in salt mining, survived the plague in the 18th century, built factories in the 19th century, survived World War I and World War II, and developed in the 21st century.

Today, only #ruins remain of Bakhmut; the city is #dead.
#putin's propagandists describe the interruption of the city's five-hundred-year history and its destruction as "#liberation."

I guess my #FreeBSD server might be about to die 😱

This morning, after noticing there was no network, I took my notebook to the basement to have a serial console and found it completely #dead, also no HDD activity whatsoever. I tried hitting reset, and from the lights I could tell the machine was restarting indeed, but again no HDD activity and the console remained dead. It's a board supporting serial console even for BIOS, so you should always see something ... What finally helped was disconnecting the main #power for a few seconds, after that, the bootup started normally.

I left after entering my GELI passphrase because I was in a hurry, but noticed the network didn't come back 😖. Invetigating 20 minutes later (when I was back home), I found the machine was again hung in the same way, but this time it completed bootup after disconnecting power and now it seems to work perfectly normally. Of course there's nothing in /var/log/messages, and dmesg was cleared by pulling the power plug. 🫤

Question: Could you imagine any software reason for an effect like that? I fear there's some hardware issue ...
