@cell i store the primary ones in my head. primary means it’s either the key for the only disk in the system, or it’s the one that temporarily unlocks a key storage containing keys for multiple luks volumes (that storage may be on an external device)
TPMs have proven unreliable too many times (may lose keys)

show claude some C2y and watch that clanker spill thousands of tokens having an existential crisis over a single defer
@snacks “wait, c2y? surely they mean c2x. c23 is not finalized yet, i should warn them…”
@snacks “2026? oh so this is roleplay and ignoring external reality…”
@snacks @icedquinn @kaia @coolbean the marketing…
@sun @whiteline @subnetter no because almost every time i do it ends in utter disappointment, exceptions being things like “explain math in a specific way that works for me and give me programming exercises related to the problem I'm trying to solve so i get a little reward and will actually be able to remember this stuff tomorrow”.
for everything else i would have wasted less time and gotten the same result by talking to a rubber duck instead of LLMs
@sun @whiteline @subnetter there are things current LLMs are really good at, but those do not include conversations and they do not include problem solving. if you need to transform language or augment computer vision they can be super useful for example.
@sun @whiteline @subnetter state of the art LLMs do actually have a lot of clever shit built in to give them capabilities they otherwise wouldn’t have, but also for all that to really work we’re looking at models that have trillions of parameters with even the MoE ones having 30B+ active
and yeah the only publicly accessible ones that fall into that category have not been trained in a way that makes them useful for arguments. the training datasets are so tailored for safe commercial usage that no amount of abliteration or other decensoring tricks will really help
the other thing is the “sycophancy” which makes them absolutely useless for pointing out flaws in the user’s reasoning, and that just isn’t gonna get fixed with those models. it’s not just a training problem either; there needs to be an active component to prevent the context from affecting the consistency of a model’s predictions in that way. otherwise the best you can hope for is it doing a few short rounds of poking and prodding because that’s the assigned task, but then failing to separate and contrast the user’s replies from its own role in the conversation and instead getting pushed towards the user’s point of view, which is the part where people who can’t recognize this will start being very convinced of their own bullshit
@scathach @sun like 99% of bots you can detect by checking for the ALPN extension in the TLS ClientHello. if the user agent string looks like a web browser released in the last 10 years but there’s no ALPN, that is 100% a bot. if you only expect web browsers to begin with, you don’t need to check the UA string and can block access without even completing the handshake
@hfaust me eating beans in the middle of the night
@disarray ngl i’d trust shady russian hosting providers that sell your email to spammers more than anything operated by people who own shark plushies. i’ve looked into a few because i would rather support them than hetzner, but i also rely on my server for work-related stuff, and “reliable” is not a word i would use to describe most of them
