You gotta spend money to lose money! wait.

oh damn :( I used to use it but that was several years ago and it seems quite a bit has changed…

on any server with ssh exposed you’ll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.

Thanks for your interest in joining the botnet!

I’d recommend using “password” as your password and “root” for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don’t make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.

Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.

Move using the number pad.

Your keyboard doesn’t have one? Sounds like a you problem.

I am sure there was already something going on, but the sycophantic nature of AI chatbots means they are very effective at preying on mental illness.

You can see how someone with schizophrenia, OCD, etc. might get into a very unhealthy state with them. Or the lonely people being taken in by creepy “AI girlfriend” apps.

Again, not that there aren’t undeying issues, but in the race for more AI everything it’s clear that these companies don’t give a shit who gets chewed up and destroyed on the way. And in the US, AI chatbots are now the fastest way someone can feel like they’re being listened to and understood by a therapist. And, given the political situation, I won’t be at all surprised if ChatGPT is approved as a therapist. They’ve already got AI prescription writing in Utah.

Thanks for the explanation!

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we’ve seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we’ve said “AI” on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said “AI” over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say “AI” a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying “AI.” Thanks to AI, we’ve finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than “AI.” Also, after saying “AI” enough, “AI” stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That’s really weird. You know, that’s another advantage of AI presenters. They can say “AI” so many times and just keep going. It doesn’t affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying “AI” at once has a larger impact on stock price. We’ve created an AI chorus to chant “AI” at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.

unfortunately, that won’t necessarily prevent you from being price gouged. the stores themselves are algorithmically varying prices, so even with no middleman you can get screwed. (I remember Kroger was starting that a while back for example, they of course described it as targeted discounts).

obviously stuff like instacart etc. just add another layer of upcharge, so direct is cheaper in general

I am not sure lol. perhaps your ssh port isn’t exposed to the internet, or maybe the bots are just ignoring you? maybe your hosting provider has some sort of security process to reject those attempts preemptively?

I have no clue

so fun to look through the ssh log and see hundreds of attempts…

it seems like the brick walls in my case really impede signal. connection across the sides of the chimney, which is brick, seem to suffer a lot.

Oooh, they work with it? … my family still has these as actual WiFi routers. the coverage kinda sucks.
