No one has ever been safe. I would rephrase it as: "More and more people are becoming aware of their exposure".

So agent would have reached perfection. I'm not sure humans can create a machine capable of perfection. This is a philosophical question waiting for a definitive answer.

Iran has a *lot* of oil. Pakistan has not.

So the problem is people. Burn them all !

> 2. ... and when that inevitably fails, you... use a programming language?

Maybe it fails because you are trying to solve a problem with a configuration when it should be solved by a function implemented in the program you are trying to use.

Per latest available data, point of origin traces back approximately 13.8 billion years to a singular event designated "Big Bang". YMMV

As impressive as this setup may be, I'm still amazed at how slow this type of robot is, whether amateur or professional grade. I have no expertise in this field, but as an observer, the apparent progress in this area seems very limited. I guess my expectations are too high and my understanding of the problems to solve is too low.

Can't the board of directors be replaced by a board of AI ?

My point is not to say that swap should not be configured on a Linux system. On bare-metal machines, I personally always set a swap partition equal in size to the amount of RAM because I usually want to be able to put the machine into S4 (suspend to disk).

I don't consider swap to be emergency RAM storage. I know that the kernel will decide by itself to use swap even if it has plenty of available RAM and the swappiness threshold is not reached.

Nevertheless, my two decent laptops (one with 16 GB RAM, the other with 64 GB RAM) never swap, even with Docker Swarm and multiple stacks, multiple VMs, desktop activities, and gaming.

It's been a while since I last saw a physical machine actively swapping.

I understand that some limited hardware may need swap, but I can't see such hardware having a GPU with plenty of VRAM.

That said, hacking things is always fun :)

I'm very surprised, I run multiple a docker swarm with docker stacks on my 16GB RAM laptop which is also my main machine. i have multiple browsers each with multiple tabs. I also run multiple VM (Qemu/KVM) and even by gaming on top of all of that, I can not make it swap.

Does anyone these days really use swap for anything than S4 suspend ?

Docker Swarm sits between Compose and k8s and can be used on a single node if your needs are modest. I find Docker Swarm more reliable and easier to automate with a CI/CD pipeline than Compose, and it also provides health checks and other useful directives allowing you to minimize downtime, rollback when a deploy fails, and so on.

It comes from the ancient Greek mythos, which means "speech" or "narrative", but can also refer to fiction. The word mythology (mythologie in French) derives from the same root.

What if the factories are located in foreign countries and the belligerents are only buying off-the-shelf products ?

Wars are always bad news and robot wars are very bad news. Many countries will fall into an endless war economy.

But a robot war is an endless war. There will always be more robots to fight until the economy is completely exhausted.

First of all, I read the documentation for the tools I'm trying to configure.

I know this is very 20th century, but it helps a lot to understand how everything fits together and to remember what each tool does in a complex stack.

Documentation is not always perfect or complete, but it makes it much easier to find parameters in config files and know which ones to tweak.

And when the documentation falls short, the old adage applies: "Use the source, Luke."

> I mean CLI asks .. can I access this folder? Run this program? Download this? But they can just do that if they want! Make them ask those questions like apps asks on phones for location, mic, camera access.

Basicaly an EDR

That why I wrote "a VM or a separate host", "specific credentials" and "data provided to the agent must be considered compromised or leaked".

I should have added, "and every data returned by the agent must be considered harmful".

You should not trust anything done by an agent on the behalf of someone and certainly not giving RW access to all your data and credentials.

A vacuum cleaner allies with the A/C thermostat using Discord, then declares war on the refrigerator, and finally posts propaganda about it on Facebook.

In a VM or a separate host with access to specific credentials in a very limited purpose.

In any case, the data that will be provided to the agent must be considered compromised and/or having been leaked.

My 2 cents.

Next step is invade Venezuela and pump as much oil as possible

> the unified settings UI

You will never have a UI capable of encompassing all the settings available in Linux. You will only have a UI capable of configuring your desktop experience, which is just a small subset of the full Linux experience.

> Just recent months they introduced another bug to GNOME which probably will not be resolved in years. No big company wants to invest in desktop Linux and without investments it's just not good.

Classic straw man: a single GNOME bug doesn’t mean all of desktop Linux isn’t worth investing in.

Developers have been writing Linux desktop apps successfully for decades. Moreover, who cares about polished desktop apps when most apps are just web apps that look the same on all platforms?

For the record, I despise web apps.

Unfortunately there is a very affordable alternative solution:

1. Massive population reduction (war is a very efficient way to achieve this)

2. Birth control, to slow down population growth to a stable rate near 0

3. Eugenics, to ensure only people with needed capabilities are born (brave new world)

In this scenario, 500,000 people (less ?) in charge of millions of robots and a minority of semi-enslaved humans would freely enjoy control over the world. The perfect mix between Asimov and Huxley.

All the agitation about "building a 1984-style world" is, at best, just a step toward this Asimov/Huxley model, and most likely, a deliberate decoy.

What’s wrong with this?

The purpose of Base64 is to encode data—especially binary data—into a limited set of ASCII characters to allow transmission over text-based protocols.

It is not a cryptographic library nor an obfuscation tool.

Avoid encoding sensitive data using Base64 or include sensitive data in your JWT payload unless it is encrypted first.

Since October 1995 and the publication of RFC 1855.

Communication has not been merely a matter of personal habit — it follows commonly accepted standards for exchanging information within a group. Ignoring these conventions risks your message being unread, unheard, or misunderstood.

That said, it seems possible the author is intentionally addressing a specific subgroup that has agreed upon a different set of communication rules.

You are absolutely right, the /etc/pooper file was never loaded.

The code has been updated and now you can change the pooped char on the fly with something like :

`echo "<WHATEVER UTF-8 CHAR>" | sudo tee /sys/module/pooper/parameters/char_utf8`

/etc/pooper file and module unload/reload are no more needed :)

Awesome! That actually inspired me to code this: https://codeberg.org/mco-system/pooper
