@nixCraft@mastodon.social Unix doesn’t have a philosophy: it has an attitude. It’s an attitude that praises the lowest common denominator:
- Small is beautiful
- 10 percent of the work solves 90 percent of the problems
- When faced with a choice, do whatever is simpler
Means:
- A small program is more desirable than a program that is functional or correct
- A shoddy job is perfectly acceptable
- When faced with a choice, cop out
(Unix Haters Book)
This is Matt. He lost his files. Don't be like Matt. Use protection. 😉
I knew one day this crazy "Skynet" would start cooling its GPUs with vodka, so I wrote some protection for you.
Bunkerbox: wrapper around Kata Containers that locks your AI agent inside its own microVM. You decide what it can see, touch, mount, write, or connect to.
Repo: https://github.com/tinythings/bunkerbox
Docs: https://bunkerbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Don't erase your machine like Matt. Unless you use Windows—Bunkerbox doesn't run there. 😘

@GorillaGaertner@dresden.network @Skwerlgyrl@hear-me.social @tomstafford@mastodon.online isn't that being critical to anything is just by default in our DNA? ... should be, at least? 😉

@Skwerlgyrl@hear-me.social @tomstafford@mastodon.online this is very old and not true anymore. Even DeepSeek knows.

OpenBSD: We don't use AI for development! 💪🏻
AI: *finds 27 years old critical vulnerability* 😈

@afilina@phpc.social let's do not throw ourselves from one extreme to another. LLM is like a spell checker: a tool.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social what does even has to do with the "AI slops & bots"? This is an old bug here for a decade!
Scored 39%. That puts me right on the edge: just tech-bro-adjacent enough to understand the memes, not enough to start calling coffee chats "high-leverage relationship capital".

...but we still love it, right? 🤦♂️

@CppGuy @Em0nM4stodon @signalapp heh. While I was indeed just joking, yet every tale has a piece of truth. You remember ChatVerbot saga in EU when sweds wanted to mass surveillance everyone under disguise like "children protection"? That is, if your Chat vendor doesn't allow backdoor to the authorities, such chat would be illegal to use.
From this perspective my joke isn't that much of a joke anymore, isn't it?

@Em0nM4stodon because we cannot encrypt WhatsApp messages and send base64 over Whatsapp protocol? Just see these end to end eNcRyPtEd systems as plain old good SMTP. Then just apply S/MIME on top of it. 🤷♂️🤣

@superviviansunshine I mean, you can stitch and color grade also in Blender (if you hate yourself), but rule of thumb is that you will soon will want a better results, so... Why not starting from the professional software? Its free version is tons more what you would need from the beginning.

@kwramm question is: how. Even Proton mail/drive is on AWS. Ultimately, Chinese hardware with American CPUs. 🤷♂️😭
