Fun fact. It's common to say that a broken clock is right twice a day. But a clock turning backwards is right 4 times a day.

@ryanc I know it's your home but US doesn't seem to be a welcoming place for you for the next few years. They may seize more than your passport.

Be that guy today and in the next 10 years.

@dalias appointment is booked in two weeks. Unlike LLMs, humans aren't available at all hours of day and night.

I wouldn't directly recommend anyone to do what I did but spending a whole evening discussing with chatgpt in order to put some context or order in your thoughts is very valuable provided you're careful with what it says.
It has the advantages of rubber ducky debugging with some new ideas coming there and there and words to reassure you that you should not blame yourself too much, which is easy when you're overthinking past events.

The disadvantage... Now OpenAI may train their next ai with stuff so private I never shared it with a human being before.

@ryanc 240ppm, are you in the amazon forest? I mean the part that's not burning down

@ryanc Thanks, I might consider this when I'm switching

@ryanc That an bluetooth. A colleague at previous workplace made experiments tracking BLE devices around the building to evaluate how bad it is for privacy...
They stopped and deleted everything because they captured a BT buttplug and they definitively didn't want to know anything about its owner.

@ryanc what WiFi hardware did you choose? I have netgear crap that I have to reboot when it's too warm in the cellar

@ryanc 🤪 I'll publish on github so contributors will maintain it for me and I won't have to work on it anymore

@ryanc Come on, modern crypto is easy! you just have to spend 2 years doing it full time and you're good until they change everything like they did with PQC

@ryanc come on guys, modern crypto is easy

@Pandora @ryanc I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

@ryanc do you have anything against sea lions?

@ryanc the construction worker promised they'd wait I go back from the pub before they flatten it

They're literally building a road in front of my house

@ryanc I recognize this string because a firm update script I reversed was grepping for that to determine that the firmware was properly decrypted. Fun fact, that's a valid file name too.

@ryanc laststagecapitalism strikes again. For the pic I just stole it on Imgur

Arrg the faucet kernel panic'ed again

@ryanc @jpasski I spoke with him at an event for 30 minutes and it was the first time in my life a frustrating exchange made me want to be physically violent.
