»Warum erfundene Programmbibliotheken die Softwarelieferkette bedrohen:
Wenn die künstliche Intelligenz halluziniert, ist dies manchmal lustig, Manchmal auch ärgerlich. Es kann aber auch gefährlich werden, etwa dann, wenn der KI-Programmierassistent eine Codebibliothek erfindet und Hacker dies ausnutzen.«

Wenn dies nicht auch noch schwerwiegende Sicherheitslücken sich ergibt, da öfters der KI blind geglaubt wird?!

Das Problem sehe ich weniger im Behandler, also den
#Kliniken und #Ärtzen, als in #Sicherheitslücken der #ePA. Ein solch zentrales Register, dann auch noch staatlich beauftragt, ist per se anfällig für #Hacker und #Missbrauch. Der deutsche Staat kann keine gute und sichere #IT, weil er sich grundsätzlich auf inkompetent dubiose Firmen und #Dienstleister einlässt, die die beste Lobbyarbeit machen und das Blaue vom Himmel versprechen.

So what is the most Discord- or Slack-like thing that one can self-host for a Hacker Club?

edit: an idea of requirements...

I guess I need it to have an easy web page front end so rank beginners will know how to use it; I'll give up as much fancy functionality as I need to for that.

Also needs to be self-hosted with no surveillance or shitty commercial license or capitalist issues. Again, I will give up as much fancy functionality as I have to.

From there, I'd like to have as much Nice Stuff as possible, groups, spaces for admin, different topics, etc.

Thinking Matrix via a web frontend? Not sure about the licensing/beholdenness of Matrix.

The thing that happens is, I create a new unique address for a business I'm dealing with. I put the company's name in the local-part of the email address I give them (that's the part before the "@" symbol in an email address).

And then they contact me demanding to know why (or how) I'm using "their" email. They see their company name or domain name in the local-part of my address and get incensed, thinking it's impossible, or illegal even. It makes no sense; would the greeting card mafia have a case against a big webmail provider if one of their users created the "hallmark@BigWebmailProviderDomain" address?

On more than one occasion, I have picked up the phone to find someone YELLING at me about "hacking their server" because of this.

I spend some time explaining it to them. Half the time, they kinda/sorta get it and calm down. The other half refuse to even stop yelling and think about what I'm telling them.

And this isn't some random one-person business I'm dealing with. Today, it was *my bank* that called me to demand to know why my support request email address had "their email" in it.

You would hope a bank, operating an online banking site, would have staff that have at least a passing familiarly with email and the internet. But nope.

To make it worse, this is actually the second time my bank has gotten upset about it.
