 users don't want to have to think about encryption keys.
 
 they should be available for them if they need them, in like... a folder or
 something somewhere, but they don't need to really know that they exist.
 
 more friction like that keeps people away from being secure.

 alternatively, when you initiate an SSH session it sends you a randomized
 public key whose private key is the password that you need to login. By
 decrypting the string of text it sent you and sending it back (plus the
 password at the end or whatever) you can ensure secure authentication without
 bothering with the passwordless keys which are wayyyyyy more trouble than
 they're worth and lack the "something you know" authentication method.

 you know how SSH password login is deprecated because the password needs to be
 transmitted in cleartext or whatever?
 
 what if we just... required two passwords?
 
 the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It
 doesn't matter if anyone sees the first password because they'll get a new set
 of encrypted keys, meaning each session automatically is encrypted in a
 different, randomized way.
 
 the second password is the one that actually authenticates you.

 it might be, I don't know much about it (hence why I'm asking questions) but I

 then wouldn't SSH keys (which are much more difficult to carry around than a
 password) be less suitable?

 I know you don't want to hear this, but there is a chance that there will come
 a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the
 internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
 something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
 because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
 it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
 technology. Maybe it's a good idea to set up on your parents computer, just in
 case you have to hide out there for a couple months. Maybe it's a good idea to
 download wikipedia, just in case.

 Hi, I'm learning about semaphores right now and trying to explain them to a
 friend. But I only sorta understand how they work - can anyone look at this
 pseudocode and tell me if I'm on the right track?
Some C pseudocode working through the semaphore design pattern. Here's the text of the pseudocode:  /* no lock example */  void start_thread(int* x) {   *x += 1; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   for (1000 times){     start_thread(&x);   }   print(x); }  /* in this case you have no idea what will print because thread A will take x and be like "ah yes it's 423" and then in the next instruction it'll be like "I'll increment this to be 424" and in the next one it'll say "okay now it's time to store 424 in the variable X" but like... there's a thousand threads all doing that at the same time, so odds are you'll have 5 that are like "ah yes this is 423 I'll set it to 424" */  /* not a good plan. Need a lock, so only one thread can use it at once. */ /* mutex example: */  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_mutex) {   *x += 1;   *x_mutex = 0; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   int x_mutex = 0;   for (1000 times){     while (x_mutex != 0){ } /* do nothing */     x_mutex = thread_id;     start_thread(&x, &x_mutex);   }   print(x); }  /* this should print 1000, but it's basically as slow as doing it single threaded. */  #define MAX 10  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_semaphore) {   *x += 1;   *x_semaphore += 1; }  int main() {   int x[MAX];   int x_semaphore = MAX;   for (1000 times) {     for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {       x_semaphore -= 1;       start_thread(&x[i], &x_semaphore);     }     while (x_semaphore != MAX) { } /* do nothing */   }   int value = sum(x, MAX);   print(value); }

 I love D&D books with lots and lots of randomized tables because you can,
 in a pinch, use them as code-books for encrypting text using a method that
 nobody will ever guess. Well, as long as you have two of them, one to give to
 your friend and one to keep yourself.
 
 This is a form of "symmetric encryption", where you each have a copy of the
 input/output tables. More secure is the private/public key style encryption,
 but good luck explaining that to a 14 year old. Plus you can't do it over a
 radio, you need a computer.

 If someone calls you in the middle of the night asking to be let in because
 they need a place to sleep, don't let them in! Unless you know them obvi but
 someone you don't know trying to manipulate you like "please I need some
 shelter" like, babe no, we need to know each other first, it's dark, I'm in my
 pajamas, c'mon.
 
 If it's below freezing then okay, maybe, but... They got themselves into that

 kinda feels like that type of work, the kind that people rely on, is more
 important than... whatever they were having you work on at work-work.
 (assumption on my part)
 
 and if that important work is not provided for, in the allocation of resources
 applied toward the developer who is developing security developments that
 develop required functionality for the development of people's
 communication/interactions, then perhaps resources should be allocated for
 resolving those difficulties.

 you can use a username now. They added that functionality recently.
 
 it's supposedly more encrypted or something. But, it's still a centralized
 point of failure. If you want to say something privately, pretend like you're
 ordering drugs on the dark web and use PGP encryption or SSH keys or whatever
 it says in the "how to order drugs on the dark web" guides.

 Those are good points. The C in our hearts is elegant, but the C that runs on
 every computer in the world is spaghetti.
 
 I'm sure someone's made a language that's "C but simple" - Zig maybe? I looked
 into V a while back but got turned off of both of them because neither had
 support for multithreading, which is essential in the modern era.
 
 Also, typedefs for structs make me mad -.-

 BRB, if you want to talk to yourselfs, I recommend opening a port in your
 router and exchanging HTTP packets that create messages on each other's
 computers. Can be done in a couple hundred lines of C code that can be 90%
 premade or auto-generated. Then, once it's made, you don't have to think about
 it again because it's so simple. It's not trying to scale, it's just...
 designed for a small, focused, human oriented mindset.\

 So much of computing is just... handling the quirks of hardware and presenting
 it to the user (programmer) in a way that is sane and makes sense, instead of
 the arcane and [nebulous/confabulous/incomprehensible] way that physical
 nature demands our absurdly potentialized computational endeavors be.

 what's that? a bunch of houses burnt down in california? what if we built a
 couple warehouses and stored all our trans girls in bunkbeds there, with rooms
 for LAN parties and snuggle parties in rooms full of stuffed buddies plushies
 with massive kitchens and sad ballpits where you can go to vent your feelings
 by writing on a ball with a sharpie and then when someone else is feeling sad
 they can come and read the balls and maybe feel something

 Programmers are lazy, this is well known. So why would i trust by default that
 anyone would read open source code looking for security exploits or malicious
 code? I trust an LLM for that more than a human. At least your own LLM can
 digest the entire project or library at once.

 why would you gatekeep content by keeping us from easily using LLMs some
 people aren't technical and still need to write computer programs because
 that's how you enlighten a people is empower them with new tools
 
 "I've never heard of that programming language, but luckily I can fit all of
 it's documentation in my context window."
