This is super cool!

I am using some llm work to help me bring my mmo project (2013-present) to prod, but my project is much more about pushing the edge of the mmo technology space, and my strategy has as one of its pillars the importance of owning the IP, which means adhering to the current laws in my production pipeline, so I only use unix/linux philosophy and have the llm do small tiny things in skeleton mode so I can rewrite them enough to claim they are actually mine, which they are. Even though I intend to open source the client fully, and the assets, I have to have the copyright so I can assign it to those licenses.

Technically, according to current SCOTUS rulings and precedent set so far (hopefully better things and changes to come, but here we are), this can not be copyrighted by the person who paid for the compute to make it.

When money starts hitting these kinds of projects, the legal wolves will be soon at the door, and it's going to get messy I think. So I still support open source gaming projects, but pure agentic or vibed games are probably going to face tons of challenges in the not too distant future based on my analysis.

This is forcing me to rethink lots of old sysadmin habits I have.

This is good. I'm adapting, as we should.

Headed back to functional/repl languages myself. Might even drop zig.

Now if we could just get people to combine Guix and other guile scheme packages that are awesome like mcron into their stacks, and then backfeed more fixes into the ecosystem, we have a real chance at helping GNUland!

This is the year I take my open source MMO to public alpha!

Now how do I apply this to get the most realistic looking shaders in 3d?

I'm doing a metasim in full 3D with physics, I just keep seeing the limitations of the video format too much, but it is amazing when done right. The other biggest concern is licensing of output.

edit* Apparently because I haven't used firewall-cmd in a long time, I was wrong on this: firewall-cmd does indeed use nftables by default.

Social gates, not tech ones. Linkedin exploits the network effects of gui-ninjas under stockholm syndrome to an anti-user service.

The same reason you get wierd looks when you say you don't facebook sometimes.

It's like existing outside the control or influence of some $manyuser $app/$website is unthinkable to those who exist within the prison ecosystems. I am a greybeard linux admin moonlighting in windows world, and the state of infra in ms land is baaaaadddd. When I tell engineers though, I get a thousand justifications about why its ok that its this bad (because it was worse before, etc), because the tooling is so bad it gets in the way of accomplishing your goals.

Same mentality... I personally don't really understand it. Either you control your compute or you don't.

Thats who linkedin draws. I used to exclude linkedin resumes when interviewing heavier linux engineering/ops candidates for this reason.

UFW and Firewall-CMD both just use iptables in that context though. The real upgrade is in switching to nftables. I know I'm going to need to learn eBpf as the next step too, but for now nftables is readable and easy to grok especially after you rip out the iptables stuff, but technically nftables is still using netfilter.

And ufw supports nftables btw. I think the real lesson is write your own firewalls and make them non-permissive - then just template that shit with CaC.

Where this is really going: AI is the boogie man they are going to try to use to infiltrate and take over computing, it's 90s cryptowars 3.0

The pivot will be when they starting talking about AGI and it's dangers and how it must be regulated! (/clutches pearls)... right now they are at the "look at AI we need it it's awesome" stage.

Where are the rest of them? Glen Greenwald has never answered that question well enough for me.

UK House of Lords are a buncha of Jimmy Savile pal types, if you get my drift. The same blackmail and bribery networks that exist in the US largely were learned from the Brits, who of course gave Palestine to the zionists on behalf of dragging America into a war they mostly engineered via Edward the 7ths diplomatic intrigues and the pre-war formation of the entangling alliances.

So for a long time, I traced most roads in the US back to London... (for example Star Chamber origins)...

After a while though, as I dug into the real history of banking, I realized when William of Orange was installed it was shortly after that the Bank of England was established to take them over the same way they later influenced us (Jekyll Island) to establish the Fed, the main trojan horse for a country being monetary countrol.

So I now understand just like the masons, or intel dudes, etc, many of them are just so compartmentalized they don't know what they are a part of. I now view the UK the same way.

So lets keep following the strings up the chain...

Can expound on what software did this on its own?
