For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.
So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

LOL the Atlanta Airport's website (or at least, what comes up in the search) generates TSA wait times based on this function.
(yes, they are generating wait times by multiplying a random number times 11 and adding 5).
You can verify this by going to a different browser/computer and you will get a whole set of completely random numbers for TSA line wait times.

Today, I was forced to use the GMail website to fix a problem I was having with messages. I don't care what people say. It's absolutely atrocious and headache-inducing. It's also overly and needlessly complicated, and yes, that includes all the little shortcuts, turning NVDA browse mode off, etc. I switched to Thunderbird 102 when they shut down the Basic HTML site. But today, I thought of something very interesting. Third party clients can access GMail. Why couldn't someone recreate the Basic HTML site, either as a site that retrieves e-mail or as a web application? Apparently, someone already made a concept demonstration of it.
https://github.com/tumaranja/my-basic-html-gmail
I've also heard that screenshots have been taken of the original pages. If someone could do this, it would be wonderful for the blind community. Yes, Thunderbird works, but sometimes, it's simpler and quicker to just use the site. What I don't know, though, is if setting could be changed that way. I imagine that searching for messages would still work.
Now, if only someone could bring back the Mobile Youtube site from 2017! That was also wonderful and useful, unlike the modern mess!

To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
｢ MIT neuroscientists have found that reading computer code does not activate the regions of the brain that are involved in language processing. Instead, it activates a distributed network called the multiple demand network, which is also recruited for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles. ｣

Wow and flutter from tapes long past
I know a man who decades ago, wanted to get a GUI {graphical user interface} on an Open Source Operating System where the coders and maintainers didn't see the need.
He primarily wanted that just for himself.**
The man has neither written nor compiled one line of programming code in his life
- He first learned how to do basic coding in an interpreted language then learned the basics in C** he went to a physical library first** He has read a lot of /man/ pages in the process
- He then compiled the sources for X himself and installed it
- Next he learned how to compile a WM of his choosing and installed it
- Then he compiled X userland programs of his choosing
- After that he compiled other software that needed X windows.
It took him more than a year and a half to get so far!
He not only proofed to himself that determination and planning can get you to any achievement, he learned advanced programming and computing skills in the process. He also had a great Guru (you may guess who)
His skills became so good, that he could even write a FAQ for everyone who wants to run an OS but can't configure a X interface because they can't comprehend the (excellent, technical) documentation.

Spare these few minutes to read this long long toot about Large Language Models
I've been working with POSIX Operating Systems for many many decades. Seek my other posts for more information check my GitHub page where some of the stories have been entered.
A lot has been written and screamed about vibe coding. I'm going to give you a short and concise rundown.
Individual X cannot even write a hello world program and the BASIC programming language. This individual has played with a Large Language Model and knows that such a system can write that BASIC program for him.
He fires up the model and asks for a Hello World program in Commodore 64 BASIC
The model response with
10 PRINT "fa wakkà"
20 GOTO 10
Individual X cannot analyze the code. He doesn't know that the second line will loop the program to the first and thus will create an infinite loop on his C64 emulator. Individual X has never worked on a physical bare metal C64. He doesn't know how to stop the code
The large language model created the second line because many hits in his database have a Hello World program for the C64 written in exactly this manner. The large language model is like a parrot which talks. The model doesn't understand what it says the model has no notion of understanding just like the parrot.
Individual executes the code and cannot stop it because he doesn't know that control break exists for that on the C64
Thus his C64 is in an infinite loop and he doesn't know what to do.
Now I will go to that same large language model. I not only know how to solder the Program Logic Array 96114 on the C64 with a mandatory heat sink I also know how to write code in assembly and I know many ROM subroutines of the C64 by heart including
JSR $FFD2
A sub routine which prints a character on your video VIC chip.
When I see that the model puts line 20 I immediately delete that line because it's unnecessary.
No extrapolate this on a full program, with 20000 lines of code, complete with libraries and API created by a large language model when the task is given by a vibe coder.
Since individual X cannot even analyze Commodore 64 basic code of a Hello World program, consisting of two lines where the second line is unnecessary, the person has no chance in hell to analyze the above given program
There are people walking around on this planet, who think that they will be able to write software, with a large language model, as their boss and think that that software will be usable in the field
When the 20,000 line program breaks the API is totally unusable and the task for that program crashes the whole server on the bare metal, censored will hit the fan
I urge everyone who uses large language models for any subject, that they should be an absolute master of the subject, where they use the model as a low level assistant

So, one of my resolutions this year was to write more code.
I love to break stuff, but last year I reignited my passion for coding and I would really love to contribute to the community that has given me so much and continues to do so.
And contributing works a lot better by creating, rather than breaking.
So I created a codeberg account. And I already have a first repo published!
I called it Axmar.
Axmar is a C# implementation of the SilentHarvest technique that was published last year.
It uses backup access and rarely used APIs to (mostly) stealthily read the local credentials database in Windows system.
Enjoy!

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.
When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

Imagine if someone sold "vibe surgery packages" that could remove your appendix. Or if a marketing agency offered "vibe electrical installations." Would you buy from them?
For some reason, it's considered fine for non-technical people to sell coding services. In construction, that would be illegal work. In healthcare, it would be quackery.
AI is a great tool, but you still need to understand code, because every line is a liability. Very few people take information security and accessibility as seriously as they should.
In retrospect I might have written non-sense in place of nonsense.
If you're in tech the Han reference might be a bit out of your comfort zone, but Andrews is accessible and measured.
It's nonsense to say that coding will be replaced with "good judgment". There's a presupposition behind that, a worldview, that can't possibly fly. It's sometimes called the theory-free ideal: given enough data, we don't need theory to understand the world. It surfaces in AI/LLM/programming rhetoric in the form that we don't need to code anymore because LLM's can do most of it. Programming is a form of theory-building (and understanding), while LLMs are vast fuzzy data store and retrieval systems, so the theory-free ideal dictates the latter can/should replace the former. But it only takes a moment's reflection to see that nothing, let alone programming, can be theory-free; it's a kind of "view from nowhere" way of thinking, an attempt to resurrect Laplace's demon that ignores everything we've learned in the >200 years since Laplace forwarded that idea. In that respect it's a (neo)reactionary viewpoint, and it's maybe not a coincidence that people with neoreactionary politics tend to hold it. Anyone who needs a more formal argument can read Mel Andrews's The Immortal Science of ML: Machine Learning & the Theory-Free Ideal, or Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics (which argues, among other things, that this is a nihilistic).#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #coding #dev #tech #SoftwareDevelopment #programming #nihilism #LinkedIn

This morning I find myself preparing for the "why can't we keep enough developers on staff to get everything done" conversation.
I don't mind this conversation. This conversation has been a core part of my job for decades.
But this morning, as I gather the usual options, I notice a blank spot in my toolbox. I have no credible evidence that AI will provide any real relief, after giving it plenty of opportunities.
To me, AI has not delivered any meaningful relief for the need to hire professional full time software developers, in spite of our investment.
Web frameworks helped more than AI has, and the good that web frameworks did was completely absorbed by the rising demand for web sites.
I am sorry that I don't have a conclusion, here.
I am one person at the center of this conversation, and this moment seemed interesting to share.
As I have this conversation again, this time, I cannot tell my colleagues to count on AI to have any meaningful impact on the costs they face.

ProxCLMC is fully opensource and entirely written in Rust.

ProxCLMC Logo: ProxCLMC is a lightweight tool to determine the maximum CPU compatibility level that is supported across all nodes in a Proxmox VE cluster.
It bugs me every time someone non-technical, from a completely different line of work, says you no longer need to learn to code because you can "build" an app, website, or server in minutes with AI. Nobody performs chiropractic neck manipulations based on AI tips, nobody does professional construction work, or performs surgery with AI... right? (At least, I hope not.) And people usually understand that. So why can't they grasp that you still need to be a professional and actually know what you're doing, with or without an AI? You wouldn't tell a friend to "just do it" when they a) have no idea what you’re asking, and b) don't know how to do it.
Every line of code is a liability. It's a dangerous world right now, with people mindlessly throwing more and more junk online. Everyone will get hacked eventually.

⚪ Passive recon: A comprehensive workflow for silent reconnaissance
🗨️ Passive reconnaissance makes it possible to collect basic information about your target with minimum detection risks. The passive recon stage is an essential part of any pentesting audit or offensive project. This article provides a step-by-step guide: from the collection of domains, IP addresses, a…

Very cool.
#Pellkartoffeln kochen.
Hab zu lange über einer relativ flexiblen Exportstruktur in einem #ERP-System gebrütet.
Jetzt fix was zu essen machen.
Ein Teil der #Kartoffeln wird noch in #Bratkartoffeln konvertiert.
Hier werden Wünsche noch erfüllt!
Danach Gassirunde und danach dann weiter brüten und tüfteln.

2. Streetcomplete and #Openstreetmaps
On the topic of #geolocation , there's another FOSS project that relies on community submissions to build a privacy preserving map
let's face it, Google Maps is the most solid, polished and convenient maps app out there, it offers detailed business listings, phone numbers, open hours, photos and reviews, Streetview (which OSM lacks), live traffic, routing algorithms with turn by turn navigation.. Etc.
But as it's the case with proprietary software, convenience comes at a cost, a cost that no one can afford, loss of privacy.
Most people fail to recognize how sensitive location data is, how it's used against them and how it can be abused in the future.
if I ask.. where were you on February 9, 2012, at 3 o'clock? you have no clue, you can't even remember what you had for dinner last night! me too :-) our brains can't recall events with time and location with such great precision, if you can.. you must be Charles Xavier from X-Men :-P
But you know who can remember? Google. the Ad company profiles individuals by tracking queries, routes, and interactions, it records your movements by a feature called location history which is turned on by default, even when you don't use the app, your movements are still logged, heck.. even if you turn off location history altogether, Google keeps on tracking you.. this should tell you how much valuable location data is for E-Corp, where you work or study, what you're planning to buy, where you go for entrainment.. etc. all used to create a profile so that the surveillance machine can target you with ads..
The brightside is that we don't have to use a surveillance tool like Google Maps, OrganicMaps is a free and open source software that respects your privacy, does not collect or transmit your location, search history, or usage data and it encourages you to use it offline by letting you know that you have to download maps for your area.
Organic Maps uses OpenStreeMaps which is also free software, but as I mentioned it's not as rich as Google Maps in terms of data. :-(
Which brings us to Streetcomplete, a FOSS android app designed to make contributing to OpenStreetMap easy. It's really like a real life game and I find it fun, It uses a simple question and answer interface to gather missing OpenStreeMaps details like: surface types of paths, opening hours of shops, speed limits.. etc
Submitted data will appear on OpenStreeMaps, so all users of apps like @organicmaps and @CoMaps can benefit from :-)

»Linux-Kernel — Rust-Support offiziell abgesegnet:
Rust wird Assembler und C bei der Programmierung des Linux-Kernels ebenbürtig – zumindest offiziell, denn praktisch gibt es noch viel zu tun.«
Ich pers. sehe das als sehr positiev, da mMn weniger Fehler im Linux Kernel aufkommen können. Klar liegt dies am Coden doch Rust vermindert overflow & Co. und doch/deshalb gibt es viel zu tun.

If you take the stance that writing is thinking--that writing is among other things a process by which we order our thoughts--then understanding code generator output will require substantial rewriting of the code by whomever is tasked with converting it from technical debt to technical asset.
