- Comment on YSK about Psyllium husk 1 week ago:
That’s good, I just figured I would mention it because it’s actually dangerous to take psyllium without enough water. You can give yourself a blockage.

You might not be drinking enough water. Psyllium gels in contact with water, but if there’s not enough it turns to rubber cement

Have you read the Unix: A History and a Memoir? I only started it, but the first chapter or two is just Kernighan talking about Bell Labs.

The current leadership in the US is, uh, less than equipped to handle day to day functions, let alone a real crisis. It will be quite bad.
- Comment on Is the AI Conveyor Belt of Capital About to Stop? 2 months ago:
Yea, the best thing for bubbles is to pop early and often before they start snowballing. These companies have negative net revenue and are burning billions. The tech is neat, but I don’t think text generators are going to completely revolutionize industries the way the industry is presenting them. NVIDIA giving OpenAI money to give to Oracle to give back to NVIDIA just screams house of cards.

Country music is just as commercial as any other music these days. Nashville is a machine that pumps out corporate friendly garbage.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 2 months ago:
Not really. My home network doesn’t have any port forwarding so nothing is exposed. I have a VPS, but nothing really important is on there, and I pretty much exclusively use it from home. Anyway all those failed logins were just trying default logins like user admin password admin. If you have a strong password or ssh key it really doesn’t matter, but I just hated knowing people were trying to get in, even if it was just half-assed attempts to find a unsecured machine.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 2 months ago:
If you can disable IPv4 on sshd then it really isn’t an issue. I know, security through obscurity isn’t robust, but when I had sshd with IPv4 enabled, I was getting around 6 - 10 failed login attempts a minute. People iterate through all the possible IPv4 addresses since there are only 4,228,250,625 possible addresses. There are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible IPv6 addresses, so the chance of someone randomly stumbling upon your address is fucking astronomical. When I disabled IPv4 a couple years ago I’ve had exactly zero failed logins that weren’t me being a sloppy typist.
