I thought that's what the front page was. It keeps wasting space with things I'm not interested in, or actively dislike.

Using Warp terminal, it actually nice for a non-admin to ask questions to Claude and get some really helpful work.

I do not know every in and out of Linux server config, my day job doesn't depend on that I do. So I can connect up, ask Claude, "is this service running?" or " My plex server isn't responding, can we run some diagnostics?"

Is it perfect? No, is it better than me? Oh god yes. Is my system a mission critical server? Not in the slightest.

But its fun, I actually can get a working docker server, a secure ssh client, mailcow, plex, jellyfin, factorio....hell what else can I load. If I run into issues I ask Claude, and it can step me thru the correction, or just do it.

It has no idea what I want to do, it has no idea my end goal, but I say conquer that hill, its been doing it's best to do it. The campaign it doesn't know or care. Perfect little helper.

I don't have a subscription to Warp's services yet. They give a limited amount of tokens to Claude monthly, which seems fine to me. Only had 1 month run out. Which for non-production systems...is fine. I can wait. I'm am considering subscribing, it's just been dang helpful.

Coding? Haven't done it seriously yet, I typically code on an ERP system, that is just starting with AL/MLL stuff. Haven't gotten to far. But with server support, it's making me have fun, "hows this work? can we check this?" and there's no judgement on my actions as to why? For personal stuff, this is great.

For production environments, I'd worry. I don't use it at work. I asked the software team to check it out to see if we could, so it's on the list. But I'd want to be sure of security. some nooby could ask some server destroying question and try to implement, sure sudo should stop most, but there always seems to be one file or config that slips past, so I'de be a bit concerned till it proved itself there.

For the love of all that matters, don't make the mistake the US did, fix it now before it's too late.

This is how I've come to understand it. I welcome any and all corrections.

Passkeys are a cryptographic key stored in a Secure Element. This is usually a private key inside a small cryptographic engine. You feed it some plaintext along with the key ID, and it encrypts it using that key. The outer software then decrypts the ciphertext using the public key. If the decrypted text matches the original plaintext, then that proves you're holding a valid private key, and authentication proceeds.

The private key can be written to and erased from the Secure Element, but never read back out. All it can do is perform operations using the secret key to prove that it is indeed holding the correct secret key.

On phones, the Secure Element is in the hardware of your handset. On PCs, this is most often the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. In both cases, the platform will ask for your PC's/phone's password/fingerprint/whatever before forwarding the request to the Secure Element.

Yubikeys can also serve as a Secure Element for Passkeys; the private key is stored in the Yubikey itself. Further, the Yubikey's stored credentials may be further protected with a PIN, so even if someone steals your Yubikey, they'll still need to know the PIN before it will accept and perform authentication checks. You get eight tries with the PIN; after that, it bricks itself.

The latest series 5 Yubikeys can store up to 100 Passkeys, and Passkeys may be individually deleted when no longer needed. Older series 5 Yubikeys can store only 25 Passkeys, and can only be deleted by erasing all of them.

Theoretically, you can have multiple Passkeys for a given account (one for everyday access; others as emergency backups). Not all sites support creating these, however.

Is there some reason the write-up didn't include a link to the store?

That's a positive spin on this for sure. What would we need high-level extraction, if no one was looking at the code. Even then, you probably could have the AI take the Assembly or Machine Code, and spt out the C++ or Rust Equivalent code, readable even.

Me personally, I want to write code, but it would be nice to have AI that helped with optimizing the code I produce. I know why I need it, future cases, it has no idea, but it would be able to tell me if my use of some data type would better if used another way or another data type would fit better.

I like it as a helper, not the primary. do the monkey work, the boiler plate. Answer some off the wall questions.

Maybe it can be a better compiler that the compilers we have now? doubt it currently, but who knows...

Sorry for the ramble, thank for coming to my Ted Talk, (as my 12 year old says)

Congratulations, you feckless imbeciles. You've "innovated" general software package management a mere three $(GOD)-damned decades after Redhat and Debian did it.

While you're at it, why don't you "invent" a tiling window manager that can be driven entirely from the keyboard... Oh, wait...

Honestly... Why is anyone still voluntarily giving money to these chowderheads?

I learned a thing today (on Slashdot, no less!). Thank you very kindly.

Perhaps I'm ignorant of the underlying biology involved, but is anyone besides me having difficulty seeing how "antibodies" can be effective against hemotoxins or neurotoxins?

Sixty billion dollars?

Is there any breakdown of this figure? Even if you paid up front for 100,000 headsets, you might only get to $0.1 billion. Where did all the money go? How many prototypes did they make? Were the optics made out of DeBeers diamonds? Did they use AWS or something?

Indeed, when the first SSDs appeared, I cynically observed at the time that the only reason they existed was to make Micros~1's shitty filesystem seem faster than it was. Thus, it was no surprise when Micros~1 started heavily promoting them -- especially those weird "hybrid" drives that bolted an SSD on the side of a traditional hard drive to use as an extended cache.

A diskless 8-bay Synology DS1821+ NAS will set you back USD$999.99

One. Thousand. Dollars. For 4GiB ECC RAM and no storage.

Contrast with the NAS I built seven years ago around an Intel i3, micro-ATX mobo, 32GiB of ECC RAM, six 4GB Hitachi spindles in a RAIDZ2 vdev, and TrueNAS Core (nee FreeNAS). The 8-bay case isn't quite as sexy as Synology's, but it acquits itself quite well.

It cost me USD$1700.00 at the time. By far, the largest expense was the hard drives and RAM, both of which have significantly fallen in price since then. If I were to build the same specs today, it would be at least $400.00 cheaper.

Even so, it was way cheaper than going with Synology. Now it seems Synology have adopted the HP printer ink business model, except without the tissue-thin "loss leader" justification -- no way is that chassis actually worth a thousand bucks.

Build your own NAS. It ain't hard, it will be more capable, and you'll save money.

You'd think after this that people responsible for running real games of chance would design safeguards around the most obvious exploits.

Of course, a liberal would say this.

"Liberals" say lots of true things. Some examples:

• The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
• The Earth is a spheroid (i.e. not flat).
• Evolution not only exists among all living things, but is also repeatable.
• Homosexuality is not a mental illness.
• White-skinned humans are not inherently superior to humans of any other skin hue.

The above statements are beyond debate. They are true. Any "controversy" you may have heard of is entirely manufactured, and exists solely to waste time and energy, and distract from more pressing matters.

However, there exists a certain mentality that insists that these and many other things cannot possibly be true -- so much so that they've constructed entirely artificial universes for themselves.

They like to call themselves "conservative." But you'll forgive me if I fail to see how willfully separating oneself from objective, observable reality could be described as "conservative."
