I think there wouldn't be too many exploits casually flying around the net for this kind of thing ;) but it'd be an interesting experiment. I once wrote a CTF challenge for a retro-themed challenge. That was fun and it took most of the participants still the better half of a day to pop it, simply because the system is so obscure by today's standards!

I love OBS! I’ve been using it for years now to record talks and it just makes it so easy to screen capture slides (even under wayland) and combine it with different video/audio inputs. Granted, I’m not a power user, but I’m (luckily) not encountering the bugs people here seem to be annoyed about :)

That’s not true. It was (and is) a huge thing in the German news and public discussion, especially now that it’s brought up again with recent arrests of suspects, the explosives targeting cargo airports, etc.

Oh that makes sense, cool! Thanks for clarifying! :)

That’s cool, then I’ll need to buy a few of those I guess! :) Thanks for the clarification!

Wait, do I understand correctly that you can only boot ISOs off a microSD card that I have to pre-load? I can’t just put in a card and load ISOs over the web interface? That makes the use case of full remote control (after plugging it in for the first time, of course) kinda moot… Otherwise, this seems to be a great product for homelab stuff :)

I’ve observed that people saying “LLMs are just a tool” usually compare them to language server implementations, compilers, and more. I disagree with this view because the tools they’re compared to are usually deterministic in the sense of they’re not just a blackbox that sometimes answers one way, sometimes another depending on whether the API provider changes the model weights, the temperature, etc.

I personally don’t agree with “LLMs are just a tool” but I’m honestly impressed by the author’s description of LLM usage and taking the responsibility for the code. IMHO, without having looked at the code base itself, this sounds like a pretty healthy way to approach LLM usage!

The recent LakeCTF onsite finals had exactly that. LLM usage was forbidden (but players still used their own devices) and there were real-life challenges such as lockpicking as well. I’m part of the organizer team and what we’ve heard so far from participants was that it was really enjoyable not to have any LLM help because suddenly the actual skill and thrill when solving a challenge mattered again. I think what helped in this case as well was that the prizes weren’t high-value enough to incentivize cheating but that participating in the event itself and the social aspect around it are the main point.
