Gene Roddenberry?

Agreed, it’s not for production. For me, as an engineer, LLMs are a couple of things. One is they are killing the planet by consuming energy, dumping the smog into our communities and consuming the water we need to survive. The other way to see it is…uhh give me a funny ass picture of a cat driving a taxi with a donkey and a giraffe riding in the back…make it a 5 minute video… probably uses way more resources than… write a program that gives me network freedom, here are the specs…

Once I get this initial bit and I study it, then I should be able to develop it like any other piece of software. It’s that initial kick that helps a lot. In my experience, if you keep asking the LLM for more, your program will just suck ass more and more until you’re left with nothing working. The other problem is it makes you lazy. Why should I debug if the LLM can do it?..debug this! But instead of a debug you get a full re-write and you don’t know what changed.

So I hope they are using the LLM in a structured way. Remember, no matter what the LLM does, if you’re not a programmer who would otherwise have understood the program enough to write it, you will still not understand it. Same for the cryptography.

But LLMs are basically a librarian who can parse thru many books and predict the next word or sentence. It’s locally correct. So imagine using Google maps street view to drive your car. First you have to get the big thing…where are you at? Now, with no windows just a gps signal telling you how far you are, you turn left or right based on your own knowledge of where you want to go. Finally, you crash on obstacles like other cars, pedestrians and buildings. Each time you crash you can get out to see where you are and start again. That’s LLMs in a nutshell. But if you finally get to where you wanted to go, you have a full program for anyone else to use. Lol

No, this is not tor. This is networking. Imagine two computers where you can plug one to the other with an Ethernet cable that’s it. Except that you connect one at your house and I connect the other at my house. They think they are in the same network so I could browse through your files or use a local website you serve. The benefit being that I could be you and I just traveled to your country yesterday. So I plug in my computer and I can see all my files back home from your country. Neither country can spy into my system or see what I’m doing. All they can do is decide that it’s not worth having a national connection if I’m on the network. So they can unplug the entire Internet just to block me watching YouTube from Tampa while I’m in Italy.

My phone gets a new IP when I hop from wifi to cell but it’s still able to communicate. Supposedly rayfish has this solved too although I cannot test that since the computer is on my network but maybe I could tether something to my cellphone and test that way.

If you’re using ipv6 supposedly you don’t need to forward ports. So that means that regardless of what IP your ISP gives you, your network should survive.

Both Rayfish and Yggdrasil are serverless and can traverse a NAT. So you can’t block them unless you unplug.

Because, specially rayfish, both are encrypted peer to peer and have their own DNS and are decentralized. So no company in the middle collecting everything you do in a data center and giving it to your enemies while charging you for it.

With Rayfish you don’t even need a dynamic DNS or FQN so my FQN cost and it’s never ending complications go away. The only problem is that they don’t have an android app yet for Rayfish. For now I’m using Yggdrasil.

Hmm 🤔

Welcome to McDonald’s credit! You’ll have to wait 24hrs if you want to eat that Whopper you want to buy!

Is rayfish compatible with Authelia or Yggdrasil?

I updated and quickly found that phone wasn’t updating images. But then there was an update for the server and phone app very quickly.

I have the same feelings about it. For now, the system does function very well.

I just feel uneasy about not knowing exactly where the database is and how to keep it safe. I thought that database just went poof if you logged out.

I gotta go to WellsFargo to beg for a hard-drive loan.

Are you saying we threw away all those records made of plastic for no good reason?!!

Windows 25 requirements are pretty brutal lol.

"Large Collection of every song ever sang by every artist who has ever lived I assume. So like a good 250 years of continuous non repeating playback! Nice! And no moving parts!

I wouldn’t download a car! I’m not stupid. I’m going to download pornhub instead.

Right? LOL. WTF! Who would use that sort of capacity?

Great idea! Thanks!

That’s Fox News.

Also today on the radio they introduced the new prime minister or whatever and he says something like “for the royal family blah blah…” Dude! It’s 2026! If I saw a king across the street and he said something about my mother he would have to saw his sack back on before he realized the balls had been kicked into a fine paste. There’s no place for that kind of people anymore.

If you are strained… forget about yogurt and other stool softener! Just take your massager and switch over to the butthole sandpaper attachment!

I just noticed it today logging in from a phone.

Yeah. That’s what I’m using too.

This is good I think…is it ptp encrypted???. I’m using simplex at the moment.

Political news claiming how terrible minorities are?.. coming right up! Any channel that wants to be on Roku will have to carry that.
