This looks like a pretty good resource.

I'd like to add the following, which I continually reference and has led to repeatable success:

And as far as confirming it works, I continually rely on sending to a gmail address.

Under the three dots is "view original" which gives you

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results.

Brent Chapman, author of "Incident Management for DevOps and SRE", just got back from his annual "not exactly a vacation" trip to Burning Man, where he's worked as a "Dispatch Supervisor" since 2012.[1]

I as able to hear him at BayLISA giving his talk on incident command and what we can learn from the fire department[2][3], an excellent talk.

just remember: despite they would have you believe they are are a united front... they are better thought of as a "loose federation of warring tribes".

omg, thank you for this

Someone probably set it to "magic", when everyone knows its supposed to be set to "more magic".

One of the greatest stories of all time, is the story of "Boatmurdered".

A long read, but makes me laugh every time.

I'm confused, could you summarize that for me?

  > The slop-acalypse that so many of us fear,

  > made by humans and only look at things made
  > by machines—why hasn’t that happened yet?

I contend people will be willing, even eager, to pay a premium for content provably produced by humans.

Are you an artist? A woodworker? Metalsmith? ... start recording your work and post it to youtube. I guarantee people will be willing to pay extra for the thing you built (I certainly would).

Well, last I checked "Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too..." ... so, more of the same?

I get the sentiment, but providing an actual number stretches the word "hidden" beyond its breaking point.

Now if the number was ?? and labeled "undisclosed"... that would present a more serious problem.

Horses can be bad too... though for different reasons, I suspect.

I feel like "BEWARE"... is, given the context, what we would now likely call "load-bearing"

  COMPTGO  EXTEND             # USED TO COMPUTE TTOGO
           QXCH     PHSPRDT6  # ** GROUP 6 TEMPORARY USED .. BEWARE **

Hm... "personal" memories, no mention of "public" memories </s>

> we still need good judgement and communcation in deciding where to go

I want to emphatically endorse this statement.

This is where the human workload will shift to: making good decisions... understanding why one path is preferred over another. And collaborating and communicating in constructive ways. More to the point, humans excel at being able to recognize when a chosen path is no longer fruitful, or where a conversation devolves into the unproductive.

We are constantly making decisions based on tradeoffs. We choose one approach over another, not so much because our chosen path is obviously superior, but because the peril on our chosen path is preferential to the peril on a different path.

I have used ai to great utility in my design process, to help me understand the tradeoffs within any given endeavor, greatly helping in choosing which path to take.

Thus far, I haven't seen an AI which can unilaterally be relied up on to always effect "good judgement" for the work it is tasked with completing.

But once good judgement, and the correct path, is codified in markdown files, ai can be exceedingly efficient in carrying it out.

Since we're talking WiFi, I'll mention

https://www.wiisfi.com/

The single best wifi reference I've found to date.

It was a major contributor to why I didn't learn more about containers earlier on.

Top of my list as to why I prefer podman...

no "container root" / "docker group" = "host root" shenanigans

podman doesn't spew garbage and punch holes in my firewall (iptables)

I'll mention it here, because I learned about it here.

"~C" will drop you into the SSH command line, allowing you to, among other things, effect port forwarding

  -L8080:localhost:443

Learning that "~C" exists, and what you can do with it, has supercharged my use of SSH tunnels, which were already awesome on their own.

But for some reason this has been disabled by default in more recent ssh configurations... to ensure its available

  -o EnableEscapeCommandline=yes

or, in your ~/.ssh/config

  EnableEscapeCommandline yes

Fair point... but I feel awash in doom, gloom and other apocalyptic predictions.

I found this book to be a welcome breath of fresh air, and I enjoyed listening to it.

It revealed to me that maybe, just maybe (we can only hope) things aren't quite as bad as we've been lead to believe... and while ai is obviously not mentioned, it does help cast modern tech developments in a more favorable light.

One specific upside from ai?

I no longer have to write systemd unit files.

That alone may be worth the cost.

If you're interested in upsides, I can highly recommend the book "Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future", by Johan Norberg [1].

I was able to borrow the audio book from my library... absolutely worth the listen.

Or, as a variation on the theme...

I'll take this opportunity to plug the CONET project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations

This is a student problem, not an ai problem... if the student chooses to not learn, to just use ai for answers, that's on them.

And their failing grades reflect the choices they've made.

ai is the single most powerful learning tool ever invented... but only if you choose to use it for learning.

If you haven't experienced the awesomeness of "The Front Fell Off", do yourself a favor and seek it out on youtube... you won't be disappointed.

... what a world.

Please don't rely on my judgement for this being safe for production, but after blacklisting the modules, the provided python exploit failed.

Check if the following are modules

  grep CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API /boot/config-$(uname -r)

If they are, you can try blacklisting them

  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-crypto-user-api.conf
  
  """
  blacklist af_alg
  blacklist algif_hash
  blacklist algif_skcipher
  blacklist algif_rng
  blacklist algif_aead

Can anyone comment on the ramifications this?

> the whole thing being built on copyright infringement

I am not a lawyer, but am generally familiar with two "is it fair use" tests.

1. Is it transformative?

I take a picture, I own the copyright. You can't sell it. But if you take a copy, and literally chop it to pieces, reforming it into a collage, you can sell that.

2. Does the alleged infringing work devalue the original?

If I have a conversation with ai about "The Lord of the Rings". Even if it reproduces good chunks of the original, it does not devalue the original... in fact, I would argue, it enhances it.

Have I failed to take into account additional arguments and/or scenarios? Probably.

But, in my opinion, AI passes these tests. AI output is transformative, and in general, does not devalue the original.
