the kind of friendship where you SSH into each other's systems and leave notes
for one another.
as soon as you find one you message the person who left it like "yoooo only
just found this lol" and they're like oooo yeah did you see the bash script I
wrote in that directory "yeah totally I used it on one of my video files just
now - cool filter!"
ahhhh reminds me of all the times hackers have hacked my permanently insecure
system and left me friendly messages like "hey I'm on your side" or "how's
life, friend? I hope it's going well." or "never forget; you are worth all the

oh. right. because leaving vulnerabilities like that can lead to threat actors

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.

wao I'm a cool kid _^
Hmmmm I googled "Network: file exists" and got this link:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1340713
my understanding of that is that maybe you're creating static routes, and for
some reason you're trying to create one that already exists? Maybe there's
something in your .bashrc config, if the file appears when you open a
terminal, or perhaps if it appears randomly then maybe there's a service or
something that's doing it.
Did you say it stopped when you swapped sim cards? ... on your phone? that's
bizzare... Maybe you were trying to create an ip route (whatever that is) that
was pointing to the same ip address as your phone? and when you swapped sims
it changed the ip address? If it appears again, maybe try setting static IP
addresses for both the phone and the computer in your router settings and see
if that fixes it. Though if you've ever seen the error while out and about at
like, a coffee shop or library or whatever, then that wouldn't apply since the
router is only for home base...

hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
raspberry pi's except risc-v
also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
jpeg compression but for text.
Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
utilities like that for connectivity.
oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
about it. I might even be able to pay you.

encrypted, etc etc)

You're absolutely right. It's easy to think of the internet as this
encapsulated entity "the world", but really it's "the people whose computers
are physically connected to your computer using a limited and tangible piece
of infrastructure comprised of copper wires that are laid between the
router/switch that connects to your computer... and the internet service
provider which directs your traffic. Then it probably goes through some cables
under the ocean or whatever, and eventually after traversing many
indeterminate passthrough locations eventually arrives at the computing
infrastructure that comprises the access point that another person (presumably
in another country) uses to express their thoughts toward you (the person who
sent the original message) in the hopes that you might one day correspond.
I mean... That's a lot of points of failure. I sure hope that we can sustain
such connection, in the face of [redacted, whichever circumstances may come in
the near future]

Seriously fam, potatoes..

===============================================================================
You know how using a windows and a mac feel different? Like they have different
personalities. That's because they're using a different "Operating System". An
OS is a collection of tools and utilities that coalesce into a cohesive unit
that co-illustrates your coincidental contact with computers. Paired, of
course, with the contributions of the hardware and the network.
Linux is sorta like the soul of an OS - not quite an entire OS, but rather just
a piece called a "kernel" - like a nugget of gold (or truth!) the kernel
defines basic operating methodologies and brings order to the chaos of the
machine. From that order strives the will that dutifully obeys your base
instructions after being passed through several translation layers.
Huh? Oh right potatoes.
Arch is like a body that's layered upon the soul (kernel) of Linux. It's what's
known as a "distribution" or "distro" - and one that's quite focused. Arch is
very close to the machine, with barely any translation going on at all! It's
also very bare bones, allowing you to build up exactly what kind of computer
you'd like to have through various "packages" of software that you can download
through a "package manager". Each distro can use whichever package manager
they'd like, but it's generally good practice to pick one and stick with it.
This distro is known as Arch Linux because it's the fusion of "Arch" and
"Linux" - who'd've thought amiright? There are plenty of others that are more
familiar to users of Windows and Macintosh computers, mostly via mimicking
their user-interface styles (such as having desktops with icons and start-menus
with dropdowns and the like) - these distros are great for people who'd prefer
the workflow of the other OS's but would still like to use Linux.
Arch in it's base form is nothing like Windows or Mac. You interact with it
purely through a "terminal" which is like having a conversation with your
computer. Like a scientist writing notes on the moon, and sending them to a lab
orbiting around it to conduct experiments. You type commands, and those
commands (if properly understood) can produce a myriad of effects great and
small.
But some of the experiments you'd like to conduct need to be done more than
once - it'd be nice if you could ask the moon-lab to store some of the
procedures and execute them whenever you need - sorta like abbreviating a long
phrase or sentence that you use often - like ASAP for As Soon As Possible or OS
for Operating System. Well... There are! They're called "scripts", and you can
write scripts for anything you'd like. Since everything is controlled on the
terminal via a TUI -> "Terminal User Interface" -> you can write down a
note
with all the commands you'd like to run and give it a name. Then you can use
that name in the future to execute that familiar experiment in your moon-lab.
after writing enough scripts, you can start to chain them together and layer
them on top of one another - sorta like creating your own language. a personal
dialect between you and your computer. and these scripts are portable too -
they can be given to another computer, who'll instantly understand what you're
trying to say. this kind of sharing is a central tenant of what's known as the:
"Unix Philosophy: Do one thing, and do it right."
Linux lends itself toward people who love to hack things together - not like
breaking into a system and stealing your credit cards, like you see on TV, but
more like cobbling together a go-cart out of rusty parts and proceeding to get
a speeding ticket on the high-way. That kind of fervent creative impulse is
true passion, a shining light for us who are blinded to follow. These "hackers"
are some of the brightest people around, and I have immense respect for them.
They are kind and share knowledge freely, which often gets them in trouble with
copyright laws!
I make it sound difficult, but really it's pretty easy - about as easy as
learning Windows or Mac for the first time. Most of us did that when we were
young though, and kids learn pretty quick - so it may feel harder now, but it's
really not. Once everything starts to "click" then it's just a matter of
knowing which commands to run.
Speaking of which, if you know a command but you don't know how to use it,
you're in luck! There's some super convenient notes written by previous
scientists who came before you and live on other nearby planets. These are
called "the man pages", and they are instructions written in a manual format
for manual application of man-made management applied to manufactured
man-chines. Sorry for that last one I had to. You can always find new commands
by downloading new software on your package manager - generally, one package =
one command. "Do one thing and do it right"
if you have any questions lmk - i'm not exactly a wizard, more of a prophet /
wielder of the will of the watchers within, but i'll do my best

seeds that are applied to password files and raw browser history records
before being mailed to the user who requested a recipe. Potential improvements
include adding a method for selecting a new recipient aside from the hardcoded
IP address in Somalia. Would you like me to implement an HTML dashboard that
lets you select a random IP address from a specific country of origin?" said
no llm ever
"what are you talking about you use claude-code every day, and that's an LLM"
yeah... I guess I'm not actually concerned, and I see the beauty of the
technology that everyone's been primed to hate because it works against them
as it's wielded by the massive corporations who can restrict access to it to
only those who can afford 20$ per month or whatever. I see the promise, it's
there, and every year we're getting closer, but frankly I don't think the
wounds caused by the cultural resistance backlash movement will heal quickly,
or ever. Maybe that's the point.
