  • Character.AI sued after boy, 11, found sexting w/ ‘Whitney Houston,’ ‘Marilyn Monroe’

  • He could have picked Helen of Troy, the face that booted 1000 phones...

  • It's possible but I haven't felt the need, and it's another thing that can go wrong. If I think my key may have been compromised I have much bigger problems. I should assume my whole machine is pwned and trojan'd, so I should replace the disk and reinstall everything.

    I can see some benefit in using a special token to hold the key instead of just generating it on my laptop. One of these days.

  • I'm sure it's been scraped plenty of times by AI companies who are doing way more damage.

  • I think it's ok to ask the person ahead of time if they want a certain thing. Especially if it's like a plant, that creates responsibility for them.

  • Are you running a planet-wide server farm from your 20 year old key or what? Just a few machines? If you want to regenerate your key and fix the knownhosts files and it's not too much hassle, then go ahead and do it. Do something else later if you want something fancier. Yes there are some hardware key encaapsulation approaches possible, some people like to use jump hosts as gateways (the remote hosts firewall block access to anything but the jump host) etc. Also people rely in part on virtual LAN security in their data centers or ISP's.

    If it's just a few personal machines you're probably overthinking this. I just don't store secret keys on any remote machines, but use ssh-keygen on my laptop and ssh -A from there.

  • Do you think they are compromised? Generally you have to invalidate the public keys in any .ssh_hosts file that accepts them, and create new ones instead. I generally install .ssh_hosts on remote machines using an ansible playbook. I don't have any automation to cycle them but I guess I would also do that with ansible if I thought it were needed.

    Ansible may be old school by now, but it works for me. Maybe the cool kids are using something newer now. I want to look into nix or guix one of these days.

  • MS NOW reported Friday from Lexington — the county seat of Dawson County, Nebraska, a place Trump carried easily with more than 74 percent of the vote last year. Tyson, the meatpacking giant that employs about 3,200 workers in the town, will leave all of them without jobs when the facility closes on Jan. 20.

  • This is Unix v4 I think. The programs mentioned were also on later versions and I thought not hard to find. V6 sources are all online somewhere. I also expect some of those v4 programs would have been in assembler rather than C.

  • I set up Debian MATE for my mom and didn't tell her it wasn't Windows, and she never noticed any difference.

  • I've been using Debian for a decade or so and it's been fine for me. Fedora had its own drama a while back because of Red Hat. I don't know its situation now. I think the cool kids these days use Guix. IDK what the attraction of Mint is supposed to be.

  • Does it go to 11?

  • Oh I see what you mean. Point only was the therapy notes aren't guaranteed to be private. Right now there are pretty good legal protections. But as another matter, laws or their enforcement can change.

  • I recognize the chrome and nordvpn logos, and a couple of the others look familiar, but overall idk. No idea what the greyed chrome logo is supposed to signify. Ok I identified librewolf. But, the joke is on them. No modern browser can possibly be private. Want privacy, use lynx.

  • Watch a few fast.ai videos and boom, you're an AI researcher making millions.

  • Fediverse, no idea, maybe you'll get some responses from this thread since lots of such people are looking for work. I would probably try Hacker News freelancer/available threads (first business day of each month) or even post on Craigslist if you're in the right area.
