  1. That’s fair. I just meant that during logon, it is annoying to have to click through an additional prompt that doesn’t apply. But I can see where if there was an issue showing what all the options could be and if they are enabled or unavailable or you want to set it up, would be more beneficial than not.
  2. 2 things about passkeys I wish would be fixed.

    1. Passkey prompts asking if I want to use a phone or security key when I only have one (or neither!) registered. The UI for this gets in the way and should only ever present itself if I happen to have both kinds of devices registered.

    2. Passkeys should have had the portability and flexibility that ssh keys have from the start. Making it so your grandparents can use public key cryptography and gain a significant advantage in securing their accounts in a user friendly manner should have been the priority. Seems like vendor lock-in was the goal from the start.

  3. You think we are going to get to a whole year of Byte Dance operating illegally in the United States?
  4. > To be clear, I’m not advocating for AI in real learning. AI is only useful right now as a stress test as it reveals how hollow adolescent work has become. If it pushes schools toward offering work with relevance, impact, and agency and away from hopeless busywork (“When will I ever use this?”), that is a win.

    But how will they ever know that if they don’t go through the process? I am not saying the current way of teaching is perfect but you can’t tell what is and isn’t bullshit without some experience at some point.

    We had a mandatory home economics class that taught how to balance a check book, cook, do laundry, and even how taxes worked. Yet people still thought that class was bullshit and a waste of time. Many classes such as health, gym, shop, a/v, typing, all had people blowing it off as useless stuff they will never need to know. ChatGPT turning every class into that is a nightmare future for the youth of the world. People will grow up entirely unable to think.

  5. I believe that is 3 hosts not total certs.

    Zerossl is integrated with Caddy by default and there’s no indication from Caddy that you would only be able to renew the cert twice before needing to cough up some money.

  6. MacOS 26 Tahoe is Unix certified[0]. It already is more popular than Linux.

  7. Thanks for sharing. Just looking over this it seems to spend some time creating ufw rules and then deletes them all and disables ufw. Is that accurate or is this just the output and you had to copy and paste in?

    I am assuming all the missing steps is just the information you censored.

  8. It would be cool if the output that that the LLM made (commands it ran to harden, the iptables, MPTCP config, etc.) was included in the post.

    It seems incredulous that this didn’t take dozens of back and forth prompts and fixes. It was able to one-shot deploying a digital ocean droplet and configure wireguard?

  9. You could also transfer them to your Uncle Lenny. He can talk for hours if need be.

  10. Not only am I taking 1,000 apples, but I use those 1,000 apples to start my own orchard and encourage people to come to it instead of yours.
  11. Hell is it going to start injecting ads into coding output? Ask Codex to generate you a fix for your web app and it spits out a number for a web hosting service? Give it a Jira ticket and it gives you an ad for a different SaaS ticketing system?

    Is it going to inject ads for indeed while a recruiter is using ChatGPT to summarize a stack of resumes?

    If it only ever injects ads for specific requests how profitable would that even be? I understand clients would want their product to be recommended but if I only get the ad answer when prompting a certain way, can I the user avoid ads by asking questions a specific way?

  12. In a Windows environment this can be managed with AppLocker, or an endpoint management solution, or 3rd-Party tool like Threatlocker.

    It becomes less about controlling the users and more about stopping any bad guy dead in their tracks. If nothing but what has been implicitly authorized can execute, then 99% of ransomware attacks will be stopped immediately even after the user clicks the link.

    Your company software procurement process shouldn’t be so onerous that people turn to Shadow IT. You have to work with people where they are.

  13. Thanks for sharing this! Yesterday I was just wondering about ssh key verification techniques for third party services.

    SSH keys are amazing, portable and in some ways easier to use than Passkeys. But for them to successfully replace passwords and account configuration, which works decently well for a service like pico.sh, the user experience needs to be improved significantly. Not impossible but what does become a continuous and ongoing problem is verification.

  14. I would like to see that chart because houses have also spiked significantly in price especially since 2008. That maintaining a consistent ratio would at least eliminate the dollar from the equation showing value not just dollars.

    A quick sanity check of my own house would show that it would cost something like 75 ounces of gold. It was built in the 70’s and originally sold for 45,000, or well over 250 ounces of gold in gold prices from around then. Doesn’t seem right…

  15. If Gold kept pace with inflation (roughly $35 an ounce in 1970 dollars) it would be ~$279.98 an ounce in 2025 dollars.

    So inflation has almost nothing to do with the current price of gold and the grandparent post’s speculation about the futures market running hot is far more likely. The price of gold isn’t attached to the dollar and hasn’t been for over 50 years.

  16. By this logic, if a single person in Romania purchases a product from me, I must hire someone in Romania or else the transaction is unethical? Immoral?

    If I only need 10 developers to make some software and sell it globally why should I have to hire more people?

  17. There’s an estimated 7,500 billion dollar turnover of fiat currency in forex markets daily.
  18. So if I want to make a payment with Tempo and currently only have US Dollars, or accept payments in Tempo and cash out in USD, Stripe will facilitate that?
  19. The original copyright law of 1790 in the US was 14 years with option for another 14 year renewal, or a total of 28 years.

    A compromise between the Statute of Anne and something like original US Copyright would work pretty well.

  20. Well you can run your own ActivityPub Server/Client and subscribe (and thus federate) with anyone who hasn’t explicitly blocked you from federating with them. Bridge that with AT and you can see and interact with whatever you want on the Fediverse.
