Today I received some road safety advice from a driver(*), delivered with a touch of passive aggression: “Look and see.” 😁
I wanted to respond with “maximum speed in residential areas” and “signalling manoeuvres in advance”, but he’d already driven off.

I used an LLM (I call it Marvin 😁) to quickly improve some of the documents I work on.
Marvin does a remarkable job with simple documents, to an extent that I feel I'm giving directions to a junior colleague: I open a new chat, talk about the scope of the document, give and/or ask for data, then ask Marvin to write an exec summary, perhaps specific assumptions or caveats. Marvin suggests different versions: a formal response, a more concise one, one that sounds more legal.
My company wouldn’t hire someone to do this, so I don’t feel Marvin is taking a human’s job. I provide the information, then judge whether it’s fit for purpose or needs amending. Will it take my job one day? Who knows. For now, though, I still build better rapport with customers than Marvin would.

Toying with a small #network idea where new nodes in separate locations would self register their npub on DNS, ideally trigger a certificate generation by a private CA.
I imagine something like:
1. New node comes with nsec, npub. 2. Registers npub A record (also last 6 digits of npub, too) on "domain(.) com" DNS zone.
3. Maybe some SRV records to facilitate service discovery.
4. Other (known) nodes find the new node, wg to it, cool stuff happens.
5. Profit (joking).
There will be a couple of name resolvers that nodes will use to locate other nodes and services.
What I'm not sure about is what software I could use to update DNS records. Wishlist: lightweight, maybe container based. Bonus: standard API.
Has anybody approached this use case? How did you solve it? Software recommendations?
Nodes needn't know about Nostr, but this could be used in the backend. I'd like the frontend to be DNS, to minimise friction on devices that can't be *taught* Nostr. #asknostr

"Inspired by Wikileaks, I imagined in Another Now a group of rebels writing and uploading digital viruses whose purpose would simply be transparency: to trace and reveal to the world the hidden digital connections between cloudalists, government agencies and bad actors like fossil fuel companies.
How and whether this is possible, I do not know, but I am convinced that if by whatever means these institutions knew that they had billions of eyes trained on their actions, they would be paralysed - and the scales fell from those billions of eyes, the coalition would summon further allies and support.

For a non-technical audience, I prepared some slides to describe what IP addresses are, how servers see the address of its users, and how using a VPN or TOR changes that.
The balance between explaining basic concepts and providing too much detail is delicate.
Working on improving the visuals and leaving the small print for the notes. Light touch during the presentation, but leave more detail if anybody wants to review later on.
I like using the analogy of a hotel room phone extension to describe what "private" (RFC1918) IP addresses are: you can call from a room to another room (device on the same network) by dialling its extension (locally significant number / private IP address), but if you want to call a public switched phone number (Internet server) you need to go via the hotel's phone exchange (Internet/broadband router). #networkingForNormies #privacy #Internetworking
