Ok, here's a pile of sand, the goal is 1. a computer and 2. an AI to run on it. Go! (spoiler: bootstrapping yourself up the tech tree gets progressively harder)

...zoom or another meeting system would require the other side to accept the connection. Using...what? OTOH, low-level remote access usually lacks any UI (such as the mentioned KDE Connect's Remote input, which mimics another input dev

So, this essentially boils down to "someone else, ANYONE not me, should simplify the bureaucratic process for me (because there's the actual issue), and I've picked OpenSSH maintainers for the job. Oh, and for free, too.&quot

I very much did not miss that: "how do you NOT have the tools to use with those systems?" The hypotetical airgapped secure environment, running an old version of SSH (which only supports DSA) has no requirements for a SSH client,

by Piskvorrr 3y ago
You do recall that the source control doesn't disappear, even after support is pulled? I've built ancient versions (specifically in case of SSH, to get arcfour for whatever convoluted system); this wasn't a simple operation,

by Piskvorrr 3y ago
Encouraged, sure. Last time I saw something that actually required DSA, it was literally decades old, and that encounter didn't happen in this decade either. I do have some tools for ancient machines, such as with SSHv1 support, but

You'd need to keep an older client to keep around for old devices. Sort of like that VM with WinXP and IE6, the one that's only kept because it has a semi-working ActiveX that some ancient device only interfaces with... shudder

Chat bots are, IMNSHO, anti-customer service: a way to keep the customers placated "something is happening with my problem" so that the call center isn't overwhelmed (in other words, "woo, cheaper call center for company

Does it have experience in dealing with...sabotage? Specifically, a country that has a war on its eastern doorstep? I mean - how is "let's mess with something on purpose so that trains won't run" NOT sabotage, since such

Still works great, what with `autossh somehost.example.com -p443 -t -- screen -xR` or somesuch.

No. I have a RealCalc app on my phone, though: works quite similarly as a physical one, and I keep using it daily. Despite my dislike for skeuomorphism, the "scientific calculator" UX is still great when packaged into an app. htt

TLDR: make it a Someone Else's Problem, in other words "not synced? Our code works as designed, go bother Support, or whatever."

Not aware of a windmill. The one I originally referenced has a McDonalds these days :D

It comes down to SNR, like most searches...and it's not very high in this case.

SafeCast? https://safecast.org/ - they have a map, too, but it's a mostly-boring "normal background" with a couple of "normal slightly elevated background" where local geology matters.

The basic principle still holds: "Kerckhoff's principle is the concept that a cryptographic system should be designed to be secure, even if all its details, except for the key, are publicly known" - which seems to be happenin

And I'm absolutely sure I wasn't: two different spots, both near military airbases, this one is somewhat longer than the Vyškov one. Personally drove on both of them, many times. Can't find an English source though: https:&#

The opposite: a habit to take the device out when leaving the computer, so that you are at the box XOR it is locked. Pretty sure I have seen a similar solution actually using the on-device keys. (Had some coworkers that were quite intent on

Had this, on a generic Ubuntu Linux workstation. evrouter to watch for a specific HID device "keypress" and remap onto a hotkey, KDE Plasma to have that hotkey trigger a screen unlock script, another script to lock the workstation

Not that uncommon. The Czech motorway D1 can be converted to a military airstrip here: https://www.google.com/maps/@49.3870307,15.9211894,289m/data... See where the grass divider ends, and gets replaced by a jerse

Sure, pv might be obscure, but it's stream-oriented, where dd is file-oriented. Incidentally, we get another Useless Use Of `Cat something | pv > outfile`, instead of `pv < infile > outfile` (or even `cat < infile > outf

Cynical? That's literally the gist of it.

Yeah. "Just around the corner" has never happened before. Except every year since the Dartmouth Workshop (1956). Not holding my breath.

Well, it would have been a medium-sized deal in ONE specific situation where you'd have orders of magnitude bigger fish to fry.

Actually - useless for most scenarios. Just protects you from radioactive iodine isotopes, a bit (which is not your worry in a blast, or fallout from one). Tends to get touted as a magical all-powerful radiation shield (which it isn't)

Sort of. With massive casualties, but yeah, unless you care about such trifles like global population dropping tens of percents due to famine - tada, solved! (You didn't ask about a "good solution".)

No idea how it works now, tbh - but the problem I was trying to solve, in 2019, was "there isn't always a live human at hand, available to solve two-factor challenges." I distinctly recall that we had to go for xoauth, for la
