IT work is not going to be automated by AI, but it is going to be outsourced to people in India and China who do the work with AI assistance/supervision for a fraction of the pay. Even without AI this has been a long time coming, IT people have just refused to acknowledge this reality and desperately want to believe that their jobs are somehow the exception to the forces of global economics, that nobody except bourgeoisie white Europeans could ever learn JavaScript and their jobs would be secure forever.

Did you know that Hegelian philosophy was used in design work for the GNU Hurd microkernel?
>me reading about Hurd-ng ("next-generation") design
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/ng/part1ownershipandcontracts.html
<Hegel remarks on the effect of perpetual alienation (my terminology) (paragraph 67):
<"Single products of my particular physical and mental skill and of my power to act I can alienate to someone else and I can give him the use of my abilities for a restricted period, because, on the strength of this restriction, my abilities acquire an external relation to the totality and universality of my being. By alienating the whole of my time, as crystallised in my work, and everything I produced, I would be making into another's property the substance of my being, my universal activity and actuality, my personality."

<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internet

Thread to discuss computer networking. I thought we could use one because networking has an unusually long shelf life for IT skills, unlike programming and even linux to an extent, networking hasn't changed (at least very much) because its basically the physics of IT.

Had another idea for a network topology. The network is partitioned into two parts, a dirty part and a clean part.

At the center is a DIY data dyode. It connects a server fitted with a RAID array and large GPU to the dirty network. It hosts a UDP file server which receives signed chunks which can be manually resent by chunk (it deletes incorrectly signed chunks), a set of VDI servers for terminals, and a Local LLM, at the minimum.

This server is connected directly via a switch and ethernet to a number of terminals, likely Banana Pis. Example terminals could include a multimedia system (a nice tv and controller is all you really need), or a workstation for writing, and programming (a nice keyboard and vertical monitor is all you need). We're currently pre-streaming here, so this setup makes some sense.

The dirty network is more or less standard. The user uses the dirty network to download files and upload them to the server.

>It hosts a UDP file server which receives signed chunks which can be manually resent by chunk (it deletes incorrectly signed chunks)
I've written the server, but not yet tested it. I'm also not sure how large to set the buffer size, just seems like it should be related to the MTU. The entire program would fit on four screens, and the most complex part, which is not very complex, on two (pic rel).

The server basically just receives a datagram which has a UUID (16 bytes), start (8 bytes), length (8 bytes), and a payload. It writes the payload out to the start position in a file with the UUID as the name.

It also maintains an interval tree of missing intervals of the file as a csv. It initializes to an interval from zero to the file length and then on every write to the file subtracts the interval from the tree, and then it writes the whole thing to disk.

It's only realistic to run this program if you're in the LAN, or tunneling in. And also it expects you to be running IPSec for the authentication and encryption, probably with a static SA (whatever that is) and ESN so that you don't have to do key negotiation.

Anonymous 16-03-26 18:54:35 No.32883

>>32863
I've switched to base64 encoded intervals, replaced the check for diskspace with error handling, and made a function handle_datagram for concurrent writes to the data file using aiofile. I had the machine take a crack at the concurrency, and it made something too complex, using futures which weren't necessary because the coroutines only yield control during an await, and locks which it misplaced. I'm still having some difficulty determining when best to write to the sidecar though, I think I've settled on just writing all the pending files at an interval spaced equally, though I'm not completely happy with this.

Is there any advantage of what you're doing over secure nfs or tunneling any conventiona filesharing protocol? You would also need to implement your own caching layer for most real-world usecases.

Anonymous 17-03-26 22:49:54 No.32890

>>32885
The idea is just to use it for upload over a diy data dyode, everything else would be handled by conventional protocols.

The main advantage of an "airgapped" network like this is the that things produced on site don't leave. So keys, wallets, security cam footage, a diary, or even code.

For text output you could use a printer and scanner, and git diffs. Anything with continuous rather than discrete output (like an old school line printer) is going to require a whole lot more manual inspection.

The truth is it's a bit of a joke.

The 4chan Pass is literally the ultimate utility for AI spammers. For just $20 a year, you get to bypass the only real barrier—captchas. It allows bot nets to flood the board with LLM-generated slop 24/7 without getting flagged by the automated spam filters. Since Pass users get higher trust scores and can post through VPNs/proxies, it’s basically a 'license to shill.' If you’re wondering why /g/ is 50% dead internet noise, thank the Pass for making automation cheap and frictionless.

I don't think that's just me having giga-brain puzzle autism. They're much easier and less error-prone puzzles than the old "line up the broken warped and noisified code and type it" puzzle. You only have to do it once, while the old one it's inevitable that one will fumble it a few times before getting it right due to the noise making fake letters.

The one you're calling the "old one" is like six generations of new captcha deep since the one I'm remembering as the "old one". The one that I remember is the original one, where they took two words, one from a book whose OCR was already verified, one from a book that had recently been scanned, and you had to type both words to post even though only one word was actually being checked, the other word was being added to the OCR dictionary. They used that captcha for years until /b/ started posting racial slurs instead of the unknown word.

This idea here, take some original IP and just tell AI to rephrase it to take ownership, may have further implications than just software. It might extend to… literally all IP.

They are not threatening Cockli with closure. Vince wants to close it if they try anything. Not the same thing.
It's understandable but some people would prefer to keep being reachable as it wont change anything for them (GPG use + metadata being already spied on anyway) and they may need it as it's their only mean of communication with some people (like a journalist and his source, just for example).
And it may not even be true at all, for all we know maybe Vince is just trying to grab a few $. I hope not but it's a possibility.

>riseup continues to operate with absolutely no pressure from the powers that be
They were under 2 FBI gag orders a few years ago. Idk but that's some pressure.
Now they have onions, end to end encryption (irrc) and still push people to use GPG and keep ransomware operator at bay with their invite only system, that may explain why they have less pressure.

Again, please stop acting like you don't understand that. I think, I hope (as you said you work in infosec), you are just -acting- stupid.
