Sounds like all you need is an Ext4 USB drive with a LUKS key on it. Then add kernel parameters like

rd.luks.key=UUID=/.keys/TheKey:LABEL=KEYS rd.luks.options=discard,keyfile-timeout=10s

in GRUB and it’ll autoboot.

Pull the key and power down and you’re back to normal. I use it in a low threat model environment so I can hit reboot and go get a coffee and come back to a DE.

ETA: sorry, got the timeout format wrong, I don’t use it.

Sounds good. Bonus points for getting it in the media.

You can search specifically for smart glasses, e.g. the aptly named Nearby Glasses

Also, you likely can’t fine them, but you can make them think about it.

Its a little bit like having a really competent security researcher go deep through your complete codebase just really fast and with improved recall.

I doubt that, more of a force multiplier for security researchers at this stage (perhaps always for LLMs without an architecture leap) IMO. Otherwise I generally agree. It’s responsible to take this approach perhaps, but mostly marketing. Still let’s not kid ourselves it isn’t happening at scale already. Plenty of open weights models can also force multiply a competent security researcher, either black or white hat. Mythos isn’t a quantum leap or anything, just 4.7.

Anybody working with software knows marketing people promise the world and understand nothing. Pretty sure they just heard “black magic” and ran with it.

Heh, yup.

Glasshole the term needs to make a significant comeback. Normalize shunning, put up signs on bathrooms and anywhere else you can with

“‘Smart’ glasses forbidden. Fines applicable. Bluetooth detection active.” and perhaps "This means you Glasshole ! "

whether such detection is active is moot, make the bastards as nervous as they should be. A (dummy) camera on the outside of the door should complete the illusion. Make them feel like perverts.

Non consensual filming should be unacceptable, but that’s a whole other fight.

Far as I’m concerned it’s the new normal. (Loving it! and expect to be able to repair it for a loong time.)

Shocker. Just another excuse to fire higher paid workers, point at a line going up (until it doesn’t), say AI a lot, and then hire lower paid workers for the same (or worse now fighting AI in some cases) job.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

They’ve copied gOS’s homework one hell of a lot. They clearly don’t want to do so here.

Ah, so it is vibe coded [I created] was a trigger. Let people know, it might not actually be bad if you know coding already, but it’s good to let people know, not real maintainable otherwise.

In the absence of a good option, “less bad” will have to do.

Semantically equivalent, but not the same. Especially emotionally, which humans are prone to be. Context, and matrix, matter.

Classic. No, I didn’t click. Please don’t be Rick Astley (also a classic). OK I did click and it’s not. Here’s the context… Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off - YouTube

Price to earnings is a sanity check. There is no sanity here (Tesla), nor does it apply to many such corpos, line must go up! The only sanity is (insider) knowing enough to get out at the right time, if you don’t, you’re the product (fattened pig).

Debian it is then, it comes in stable, testing and sid (who breaks his toys) also called unstable variants. Unsurprisingly, you’ll be wanting stable.

Valid point re containers, but OP has a wanting bare metal feel IMO. I like and use both, horses for courses, just giving some context.

Pretty much on the low side, but you’ve not been up long. Using key based login you’re fine.

Depends on what you mean by professional and your needs.

Debian (stable) is rock solid but (because) slow changing, if your application is slow (or not) changing it’s probably the better choice, but if you need new things before it’s ready for a new version it’ll be pain. It’s the professional sysad’s choice because they’ll likely not have to do anything.

Fedora is faster moving (think cutting edge, not bleeding edge (e.g. Arch) as opposed to Debian’s blunt safety) so if you’re in active development it’s likely a better choice. It is also sort of the testing arm for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is the quintessential professional Distro, so you’ll learn some of that along the way.

Nah, the fun is learning form others mistakes. Thanks for a fun read :}

Also the baseband chip for 4G/5G is yet another self contained computer you don’t control. Shit’s egregious.

Good flick, but to be clear sneakernet is just handing over physical media in person.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard disks (or a suitcase full of microSDs on a plane).

C64 sneakernet swapped floppies were huge at the time, no modem required.
