Huh. I remember playing a very similar game on Apple II, but I believe it had a Dutch / European theme, and was called something like "Ooperhoofd". I can't find any reference to it online. Maybe it was a 'modded' version of this? That one, and Odell Lake[0] were the best disks in the library computer lab in middle school.
They should have called this "WishingWell". I'm wishing them well, but some of these projects are so over the top pie-in-the-sky silly, and funded with $0.25.
I have a design for a really complex software I want to build and there were gaps I knew of in the design. Opus couldn’t identify them but Fable did. I’m just talking about it reviewing the design, not coding. But yeah, it’s insanely expensive. It does spin off sub agents so I suspect it might be cheaper if you had it create a bunch of plan files and then pointed deepseek at this plan files or something like that
Same. I have used the controller as a container. Take a backup of the configuration and you don't even need to keep it running. I returned to a network after two years, fired up a controller, imported the config backup and g2g
Rolling up headphone wires (or any wires) works best when you create a looped bundle and alternate between overhand and underhand. It stops it from getting twisted and tangled. When done right, you can hold one end, throw the under end, and it all unfurls neatly.
Learned this from a theatre stagehand and have been using it ever since.
It has a name in the security industry, Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) [1]. Somewhat related to Path Traversal [2]. Unfortunately CFAA is very broad and can be (mis)interpreted in wild ways.
I was thinking along similar lines to what you've suggested here, but then I considered how many VPS might be configured by folks following some random web tutorial, to set up their LAMP stack (or whatever), that end up doing something like what was described.
A lot of those VPS instructions these days recommend a reverse proxy like Caddy or Traefik for that exact reason. I think it's also a valid argument to say that anyone playing around on a VPS without knowing what they're doing is probably going to learn some hard lessons, and that's kind of the point.
This but unironically. There's no way to ensure that nobody overwrote your .profile or .bashrc with a backdoored sudo that steals your password, or runs your command and then runs an evil command afterwards.
It is. That's why SELinux and AppArmor were invented.
Instead of having "root" and "user", both of these provide sets of permissions that can be granted to apps.
In this case, SELinux would've stopped this. Codex could've still relabelled the files when mounting but this can be blocked for sensitive directories like /etc.
This feels like using a computer is inherently unsafe.
On the plus side, once we outlaw them we'll shut down the ability for conspiratorial thinking to spread easily and the world will slowly heal from the last couple of decades (the previous one in particular).
Hooray! We're finally doing something about the harms of social media. Smash your computer today!
It's already here, mobile OSes are just computers with ton of guardrails and you can't do whatever you want with it, for the sake of security. I mean we almost got an Android where you can't install the APK you want.
