 any .exe or other binary program can send arbitrary packets and nobody will
 know except the people running wireshark which is public information as far as
 your computer is concerned, as all they'd need to do is grep ps with bash
 commands which are callable from within essentially every programming language.
 
 for them, they don't show adblockplus. [ublock origin lol]

 Though, of course, can you ever be sure who is who they say they are? You must
 consider all messages anonymous by default, and unencrypted (untrustable) and
 yet impossible to ignore. Like the messages they had to ignore at Bletchley
 Park to avoid the suspicion that they'd figured out the secret code. You know
 how it goes.

 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
 fear" y'know cute things like that
 
 oh. right. because leaving vulnerabilities like that can lead to threat actors
 affecting your stuff. how lame.

 "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?

 be careful, recursion can cause stack overflows.
 
 better to run function pointers from a loop. That way you can operate as long
 as necessary. Just make sure you don't get in an infinite loop...

 I'd agree with that. it's not designed for performance, not really. Mostly
 ubiquity, which is it's strength. As long as something can be compiled to a
 binary, BASH can execute it. That's why it's good, for accomplishing diverse
 tasks that you cannot have the capacity to program yourself. Scientific
 computations or cultural approximations, things that are beyond your intuitive
 understanding as a human on this earth, but which compel and align your
 thinking.
 
 I'm sure someone could create a more intuitive or accessible syntax, but
 syntax isn't the point - the capabilities, what you can do with it, has always
 defined the purpose of programming paradigms. And BASH is (currently) at the
 forefront of it's niche, the "terminal" language that handles "command line"
 applications. Powershell is good, yes... but it's not as good as BASH. Neither
 is Fish or... the one that starts with a z? zfs? something like that. The
 acronyms are hard to keep straight sometimes.

 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 love programming!! Currently working on learning decentralized and GPU
 oriented computing. It's lots of fun! Plus Bash is a great language, it's not
 funky or hacky at all. Just a great language. Haha suuuuch a great thing to
 play with.
 
 But GPUs are legitimately cool, aside from Bash's purported funkiness /
 hackiness. You can do all kinds of cool things at scale that just don't make
 sense up close.

 capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the
 threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because
 the remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle
 down" to them somehow

 totally useless unless you're, I dunno, building a bytecode interpreter or
 something
 
 https://craftinginterpreters.com/contents.html
If you only have arithmetical expressions you can use some properties of arithmetic to compute branching computer code. E.G., if A is either zero or one depending on some previously computed condition, then A times B plus (1-A) times C computes the expression "if A then B else C"

 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)

 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.

 what if instead of javascript cookies we only let websites access one single
 location in memory which was allocated client-side and is unique to each
 website?
 
 that way they couldn't track you between sites, since they wouldn't be able to
 see any other website's "biscuits" get it because they're healthier than
 cookies
 
 All they would be able to store would be data, though I guess they could store
 bytecode instructions or something if they really wanted to.

 You know, there's no guarantee that Youtube or Gmail has to show you the EXACT
 SAME video or message that your friend shared with you. Or did they even share
 it at all? So hard to tell when they know all the communication you've ever
 had, because you only know each other online on their platforms, [read: US
 government observed platforms] [like, HTTPS] surely there's no room for
 someone to sneak in and edit your conversations. Surely the only way to
 securely communicate is to send pure PGP encrypted bytes to another target,
 wrapped in a TCP/IP header, with unknown intent or expression. Worst they
 could do then is just, y'know, block it entirely.

 I love the concept of this! Maybe if HTTP is too complex, you could try
 another simpler server? I don't know the complexity of the programs I use
 every day, but I'm sure there's one that's very simple. Even just a simple IRC
 style chat server that just... sends text from person A to person B depending
 on their username (like a glorified Router or Switch)

 if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
 archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
 be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
 clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
 etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
 your best stuff and make zines.
 
 should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of
 how I stay "productive" without posting all the time.

 @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.

 it's got two ethernet ports.
top-down picture of the board left-right oriented top-down picture of the board angular and isometric perspective of the USB ports and power input and switch isometric side-view of the hdmi output, ethernet ports, and audio out. wait this one's the D/C input, and the other one on the previous picture is the audio output channel.

 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.
