"why putting SSH on a port other than 22 is a bad idea"
https://www.adayinthelifeof.nl/2012/03/12/why-putting-ssh-on-another-port-than-
22-is-bad-idea/
"When you are logged onto a system as a non-root user you cannot create a
listing TCP or UDP port below 1024. This is because port numbers below 1024
are so-called privileged ports and can only be opened by root or processes
that are running as root."
thoughts?

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.

"but... why?"
portable linux with buttons, great for pick-up-games or communication, can
throw several in them in a backpack if you want clustered cooperation, they
work as radios (if the signal reaches) and can transmit text (if you use a
radial-style keyboard)

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.

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.

wrote in that directory "yeah totally I used it on one of my video files just

ahhhh reminds me of all the times hackers have hacked my permanently insecure

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...

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

the most important skill I can think of for a linux software engineer is the
ability to connect multiple systems together and turn windows and macintosh

there's this programming language I like called Chapel for distributed
computation computing which is also cool, if you're more of the programming
type.
networking security I believe often has hardware solutions, so getting the
crypto-graphy boys and the PCB girls together to work on some jams is a good

there are plenty of pieces of linux that are insecure in some way. Including
x11, if I remember correctly. It is purely convention to not abuse these
insecurities, and whenever you use someone else's binary software you trust
that they won't betray you in some way.
pre-built binaries are privacy violations and should be illegal. They are
security threats because the model they're built upon is necessarily insecure.
Computers will never be completely secure because of how they are built, and
so we should use locally compiled software and interpreted scripts.
Unless they're too long, or impossible to read. Who reads EULAs these days? At
least those are written in english.
maybe computers aren't worth it. Maybe computers will solve all our problems.
Who can say, maybe you should ask an oracle like me
though do remember that anything you hear can and will be used against you,
monkey's paw style. So maybe, like... don't? unless you're into magic or
schizophrenia or something

if anyone could download a program and start a gallery style file-server with
all their wedding pictures then why the fuck would you need to upload them to

alas, people are too dumb to open ports. plus, every router has a different UI
design, so it's not like you can write a guide. What happened to making things

computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

If you're on a Windows computer, first of all why and second of all you can
use the WINDOWS key + SHIFT + S to screenshot a part of the screen.
this will put it in your copy/paste clipboard, meaning all you have to do is
ctrl+V and boom suddenly you are significantly more productive.

when tech people are hurt by technology they say "how can I fix this? what do
I need to install? what configuration should I use? is this company ethical,
or are they going to hurt me in the future? could I make something that fixes
this myself?"
when non-tech people are hurt by technology they say "okay" because they don't
have the bandwidth to figure it out.

software should have 3, maybe 4 or 5 maintained releases imo

then people wouldn't complain about updates

Coding superpower:
Start thread
While(true):
Run();
Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
that run() uses to call a function
At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

I made an alias that overwrites cd so I don't have to do this. The important
line is line 27, you could probably accomplish something similar like this:
alias cd="cd ${1} && ls -v --color=auto"
I also set it up so I can change more than one directory up using ... or ....
or .....
also I have a few shortcut scripts, cdir and qcd. cdir creates a quick way to
drop a bookmark wherever I'd like, while qcd can make permanent bookmarks.
Also qcd makes it so whenever I open a new terminal it opens to the last
directory I was in, which is nice if you need a new terminal to do something
in the current folder and you don't want to have to walk alllllllll the way
back.

@user-195 parallel is when two programs run simultaneously, like two parallel
lines (threads) that never touch.
concurrent is when the two lines are split up into chunks and the program
switches between them - like this: -----_----
enter alternate universe
parallel is when two programs operate on the same axis - usually time - and
never interfere with each other. the OS will switch between them as
appropriate to make sure they never intersect. Sorta like this: -----_----
concurrent is when two programs are executed simultaneously, primarily
constituting computation correlated with collective contents of coordinated
collaboration between contextually related coroutines.
It's simple, even a beginner could figure it out.

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

that way they couldn't track you between sites, since they wouldn't be able to

there is a reason to be annoyed, and that reason is that storing numbers as
"dynamically typed" string values is both inefficient and frustrating due to
the bugs it provokes.
Not sure how common those bugs are in HTML, but dynamically typed languages
like Python and Javascript have a whole class of potential errors that are
significantly more difficult to debug than on C or Rust where the variables
are statically typed

commanding a coding agent to write bash is a lot different than telling it to
write a systems analysize.
one is "hey can you examine this repository and make a note somewhere on a
todo-list or whatever that there needs to be a bugfix in relation to the
options setting input translation recommendation algorithm matchbox field
because when I click on it the program crashes"
and the other is like "okay now put the box over there. great now drag it a
little bit closer. okay now take the refluxinator and adjust the bamboozlewhap
to account of brass-terminatrix-incorporated and strip out the
question-mark-eyes"
wait actually neither of them is like that okay the bash one is like: "okay
yeah do it. sure. yeah okay. yes, but we should put them at this location:
[loc]. ummm it still has this error message. it still says the same error.
okay now it says this, I don't think it's gonna work so let's try this other
thing."

Nobody will get past the login screen on my computer, but if they do they
probably won't know that you need to push alt+p in DWM to start a program. But
even if they push "alt+p firefox" they will only have access to my gmail and
discord, because those are the only two places I've saved my login information.
Most of my data is on my hard disk anyway, so for that they'd have to push
alt+enter and then navigate my filesystem to find it. Shouldn't be too hard if
you're familiar with Linux.
They could always just pull the hard drive and put it into a new computer
though. It's not like it's encrypted, because why would I encrypt it? I want
to share information, not conceal it! Surely nobody would desire to exploit
that vulnerability of mine, that my data should be unencrypted?
If you have a copy of Wikipedia then you're 500% more prepared than 90% of
humanity so good job _^

your family who solicited tech advice from you

https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1f5u47p/transfer/
This Reddit thread is wild to me. Like... Why did the designers of Androids
and iPhone just... stop designing ways to safely and easily transfer files?
Why the heck doesn't every android have a built-in SSH server that
automatically and permanently pairs to your PC using an automatically managed
private key the first time you plug it in? The user doesn't care about
security, they just want to click on a picture, click the "view on PC" button,
and then open up their downloads folder. (paraphrasing the comments) - so why
don't we make that happen. What happened to tech, that we stopped working as
soon as the consumer decided they wouldn't pay for it? (it being a file
transfer service)
It's like healthcare. You don't stop treating someone when they're healthy,
you ask them how they'd like to feel and you make it happen. (hormones).

how about this: a game where you have to enter the amount of time you have to
play it when you boot it up.
"I want to play for an hour and a half"
after your allotted time, you get kicked off and it won't restart unless you
use a password.
It's a trifle of a gesture, really just an affectation of a task, like using a
-f flag in Linux or saying "are you sure u want to delete these files?" on an
application.
Funny how the most tech that most people interact with most of the time is
their phone, and their smart TV. Generally that's about it, and they only use
one or two apps in their phone. They might change the background, if they're
the artistic type, but most people are just fine with the defaults.
"Uh yeah I think the settings app is somewhere around here... darn it's always
so frustrating when I'm connecting to wifi, what is the tech industry even
doing? I don't want to deal with [opening a menu, selecting
"wifi/connections", picking the SSID, entering the password, and then going
back to uber eats]"

If we make a law that says you can't sell user data, they'll just build an

be ashamed and sorry to their users, but hey the data's out there now not like
they can take it back. Oh don't worry we already patched the hole in our

yeah uhhhh the one you helped me setup. The error is just "connection refused"
because it "could not write header for output file" because of incorrect input
parameters, but I don't think I changed anything since we used it a couple

why not have an account on each and every mastodon instance? then just RSS

could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an

If you want to install something on Linux but you have difficulty, talk to me
and I'll write you a script like this. I might even make it fancier.
This one installs a programming language that is useful for parallel computing
across multiple clusters of computers which could be useful if you want to
leverage multiple CPUs and GPUs with ease to compute tasks which are far
beyond a normal computer.

we should be able to configure our web browsers so that they don't remember to
autofill certain pieces of information. Such as the IP address of our router,
or our bank credentials, or any other forms of passwords that we are using to
authenticate ourselves. That way our infrastructure that we've designed is
less susceptible to cybersecurity threats that involve physical access to the
computer. Or remote control of some kind that is channeled through the UI
(like RDP or SSH) (a terminal is a text based UI in this context)
Unless of course they knew what they were doing. Which most of them don't.
Hence why it'd be a good idea to isolate the capabilities of defeating certain
vulnerabilities to ourselves. Like, a reverse backdoor, only more like a DMZ -
a sector of computing space (sandboxed of course) that is only utilized for
understanding the intent of the message sender.
Doing so would require an analysis of the capabilities of the system, the kind
of analysis that [script kiddies'dve] generated by googl

Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science
doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a
conspiracy theorist.
or it means you're so remarkably ignorant that you shouldn't even be in the
room where people are talking about this.
Unless your questions are very basic. "can someone explain to me what XYZ term
means?" or "how long has this particular application method been in common
use?" that kind of thing. Even still, either do some basic research or
relinquish your decision making power until you understand.

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.
(everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
encrypted, etc etc)

I really do believe that you can write any computer program you'd like with a
combination of Lua, Bash, and C.
Bash to start the program and enable updates / configuration, Lua to handle
the scripting and ordering of events, and C (or Rust) to execute performance
intensive sections. (often in their own threads)
