Just trying to keep people safe. Nothing to do with lock-in, rent seeking, control over everything you watch, or mass surveillance. Not about any of that AT ALL!

Hang on, let me Google it...

Iâ(TM)m not so sure. I have a strong feeling that the oh no, your AI is TOO POWERFUL! stuff is largely bullshit that helps build hype and supports grift. I know AI tools have gotten better but Iâ(TM)m enmeshed in this shit every day and mostly all we keep doing is fixing shit AI results. I have developers whose primary job is now taking AI designed and generated proof-of-concepts (proofs-of-concept?) and fixing (or, rewriting) almost everything about the architecture and code to get it operationalized and scalable. But who knowsâ¦maybe this NEXT version will be the one that solves all our problems. /s

Imagine a beowulf cluster...

Or...I posted from a stupid device that replaced the standard ASCII 0x22 quote character with UTF U+201C & U+201D quote characters and replaced standard apostrophes with U+2019 "right single quotation mark" characters. It's what I get for trying for Frosty Piss and posting from my phone instead of waiting until I was at a computer that doesn't do that stupid shit.

Also, it sure would be nice if /. would let a user EDIT a fucking comment after the fact.

Okay, seriouslyâ¦âoh no! See how amazing our AI is?! China is trying to get you! Theyâ(TM)re coming for us because our AI is THE BEST!â

This guy needs to fuck right off. Everybody hates all this AI bullshit and nobody wants giant GPU farms sucking up all the water and electricity in their neighborhood. Fuck China too. Itâ(TM)s entirely possible for people to hate AI without Chinese propaganda.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

So...noscript then.

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Naturally, a guy who wants to extract monopoly rents to grow his vast hoard of capital believes the masses need to stop owning anything and rent everything. Duh.
