ECCME

-20 karma · joined June 12, 2024

Hey guys, After openbsd and a pcengine apu, and always keeping in mind cosmic rays and that quote from the Google engineer when asked what he'd do differently, I've been seeking an ideal home Internet firewall/routing Device. The ISP where i am provides managed devices for customers, or they can also disable whatever kind of nat traversal is on, and provide a static address. With such an address, security is paramount, and, for example, after hours of troubleshooting why port forwarding wasn't working on a cheap and old router the isp technician warned me that i was letting the wolves in (::rollseyes::) and then turned off the NAT traversal complexity (+$5/mo), and the cheap Walmart router was immediately pwned. Wow. The new router is a Mac pro a1481, which must be like a honey pot for state actors, but is a great host for an openbsd VM guest firewall, and an openwrt VM guest wireless access point. Gotta have that 128GB of ECC on the 12-core system. Those ad/spam/ai filtering LLMs need some elbow room! :)

Peace and love my digital friends.

ECCME··on ARC Prize – a $1M+ competition towards open AGI progress
No. What is the purpose of this competition? Unlikely that the reason for it is to pay out an enormous reward, right? Easy or not easy, the fortune is only rewarded to the system that solves the puzzles. The reward is too valuable to be given away easily. Ipso facto, solving the puzzles is deemed challenging by those who present the competition.

ARC-AGI: "here are some pretty simple puzzles, we'll give you a million dollars to solve them!"

Human: "They're quite challenging, this might be a trick to engage activity for the purpose of training models."

skrebbel: "You're stupid".

"Here is a challenge, designed to be unsolvable or so. We'll give you a bazillion dollars if you complete the challenge, and, in the meantime, we will use your attempts to train an as AI that will be worth the cost!!"
ECCME··on Debian is the greatest Linux distro of them all
Well you've got to get it. Google is running on a 2.x Linux kernel, with thousands of patches. The hypervisor runs on bare-metal, and it's not "debian". You need to start thinking about debian as just another virtual system and get with the program. If you're installing an operating system on bare metal, and it's not a bsd with jails, you may be doing it wrong. Or, maybe you have an offline developer's environment bare-metal install, debian, arch, whatever, a linux efistub is enough, and then host a passed thru network vm, in a container, with strong guest to host protections. You do you?
ECCME··on Best home router with ECC (replacement for PCEngines)
