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.

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.

if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
between your computer and your social media posts.
In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
transform whatever they say into the inverse.
suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
work pretty well I think.

wouldn't have thought about it unless you said something. there are a lot of
ways to exploit someone in a digital medium, and adding "sexual" focuses the
term to specifically the non-consentual sharing of sexual digital media -
which is exactly what the term "revenge porn" describes.

HoI4 players beware:
if you send any convoys in the modern age, you must control the entire ocean.
this is easier than you'd expect with modern navies.
the trick, of course, is getting past your foes. therefore, if you wish, you
may create "channels" directly to a piece of shore.
so long as the distance is too great for them to bombard (reliably) [oh god
no? idk that's a weird way to start]
why would you send any convoys if you couldn't send a stream of convoys
supplying more of what that convoy thinks you'll need?

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.

you can use a username now. They added that functionality recently.
it's supposedly more encrypted or something. But, it's still a centralized

if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse

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.

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)

like miniature explosions from layers of gunpowder
forming letters in the sky
anyway the text would "burn" into existence slowly and you had time after
typing
your words to go back and edit them but also whatever you said was semi
permanent. Thus forcing a smooth and ideal progression toward thinking about
the things you say.
Also separate idea but it'd be neat if there was like... a show or something

all apartment doors should have a 100% local webcam next to the eye-hole that
only the resident can see. Not even wireless data transfer allowed. But simple
enough to be programmable with a bash script. In addition, the entire building
should have cameras that only the people who live there can view (just like,
the parking lot and such) so they can watch for raccoons.

low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
computationally.
somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
intelligent?

do you ever think about how calling the BLM events "protests" versus "riots"
is a subtle dogwhistle for your politics? I usually say "riots" so that I
blend in. also because I've been conditioned by the people who I talk to about
them.

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.

It's a person with a thumbs up who has a fountain of tears streaming down
their cheeks. Any time you see the T.T fountain of tears emoticon you should
view it as slightly sarcastic - they're not actually crying, it's more like a
"ahhhhhh" type of thing instead of a "[cry cry cry]" forever type of thing.
Oh also the z is them with their other hand on their hip all sassy like.
