@0 @crunklord420 wait ok, so i guess i misunderstood something. i thought you generate the fingerprint by applying smth like md5 or sha256 to the public key. is this wrong?
My point was, this fingerprint is on Crunk's profile to basically tell the world that this is real Crunk's profile, correct? If I put the same fingerprint on my profile, wouldn't that counteract that? if I have it on my profile and edit it to be the Crunklord420, how will one find out, which one is the real one?
-
@0 @crunklord420 Ok, then I understand it. I guess I misunderstood then, because crunk wrote
> it's really just a way for me to make new accounts and on different servers or platforms but be able to verify they're all the same owner.
-
@crunklord420 @0 Ok but i dont get, is this just a string you add to your profile? if so, why cant someone copy this string to their profile? Maybe it's a dumb question, but I don't get how it is supposed to work exactly.
-
@0 @crunklord420 Thanks, the video was very nice! But i still sort of don't get it. If I take the fingerprint from crunk's profile and put it on mine, claiming I am him, won't the fingerprint still be valid?
-
@0 @crunklord420 yes but my point is, since I have crunk's full public key, why can't i get a fingerprint of it and put it on my profile?
-
@0 @crunklord420 Thanks, a very good explanation! I think I get it all now!
-
@crunklord420 you shortly mentioned this some time ago but I dont think I fully understood. What exactly is this string on your profile? Is it basically a PGP signature? Meaning people that have your public key can verify that you signed this with your private key?
-
@crunklord420 Would you recommend arch or gentoo if i really want to understand well how linux functions?
-
@crunklord420 Thanks I thought the same way. To be honest my plan is for now to test some stuff in a VM, then slowly move to the N100. I know linux in general, but cant use it full time due to work stuff. I wanted to use VirtualBox to test some stuff, install CCTV/Email servers and get them running. Do you think VirtualBox is ok for that? or you would suggest some other approach?
-
@crunklord420 Would you use docker containers for these cases? I am somehow completely reluctant to use any.
-
@crunklord420 do you think an n100 is a good idea if i want to additionally run a cctv server on it? I am thinking Jellyfin+CCTV+XMPP+Email+Backups of important data all on the single machine.
Or do you think it is a better idea to split it?
-
@crunklord420 Thanks! There is just a large discount on a beelink n100 making it just 200 bucks. So I was considering taking it for Jellyfin+email+xmpp+backup server
-
@crunklord420 You once mentioned that you have setup a media server for someone on Beelink. Did you use Ubuntu on it? or what?
-
@crunklord420 @sun I would say the burden of proof for incompetence should lie on the defender. Malice should be assumed per default and treated as such.
-
@crunklord420 And it has several package managers which makes 0 sense for me. Why do you need conda? Why do you need different ways of making virtual environment? I always feel like most of it was done by people who just wanted to add it to their CVs. They did not even stop for a moment to think if it actually makes sense.
-
@crunklord420 Yup, I tried with numpy/scipy. It takes a different approach. I've worked in Python quite a bit, the basic rule is "if you are using loops, you are doing something wrong". I think at this point Python is just a wrapper for various libraries. No function you use is itself written in Python. You just call them. You stack black boxes on top of each other hoping you get the answer you are looking for. You don't write anything in Python, you just script. It's nice for data analysis, but the moment you actually need something to work fast it all falls apart. I think programming needs a very major shake up, most people don't really understand what they are doing and as a result we have basic applications that can't even display short text without lagging.
-
@crunklord420 I also tried to do the same stuff in Python with all the fancy libraries. It is still insanely slow compared to what my C code produces. Sometimes I feel like the modern programming has the "resource curse". Since the hardware development is currently on steroids, no improvement needs to be done in the programming area and people just shit out insanely slow pointless programs.
-
@crunklord420 Sometimes I sort of feel bad. All those topics are so interesting, but I do not have any time to get into them. Like I would love a deep understanding of statistical algorithms and everything, but it feels to me I am too far gone to learn all that.
-
@crunklord420 No probs. just solved the issue. Chat GPT actually managed to hallucinate a function with a myriad of variables that somehow solved the problem. Literally thought it made up these numbers but they were all correct. I promised to tip, maybe because of that it worked, lmao.
-
@crunklord420 I am in the process of implementing some stuff from statistics in c. Have you ever dealt with the topic? For example, i want the fastest as most efficient way to get random samples which fit a specific normal/gaussian distribution. I tried Latin Hypercube with Box Muller algorithm, but the results are not better than when I use standard Monte Carlo with Box l-Muller.
