Infosec Analyst, former Systems Admin, Linux Enthusiast, at one time I was an aspiring English scholar.

@popey I was excited to hear about your return to LXD on the Linux Matters podcast. I wanted to ask if you had tried the "lxd projects" feature to provide that level of isolation between the different containers. (You can even make a lxd profile which contains all the elements required of an isolated project.)

Also, have you looked at the LXD fork, Incus? I migrated away from LXD to Incus because that seems to be where the dynamic feature development is happening. I've even been testing their immutable IncusOS.

I've been trying to get a blog going for all the random little rabbit holes I go down in my minimal free time, but keep getting interrupted. Ive had a blog post cooking about an AI generated "Christian K-Pop" group I heard about and all the fun ways it's being used to trick people into believing they're a real band and funneling people into other AI stuff from the developer designed to sell them stuff.

Weird intersection of Infosec and Christian culture, but it's been fun to dig into. I also have notes on a macOS Infostealer I was poking at, and some notes on a phishing lure I've seen repeatedly.

So much to write, so little time and now dealing with some random cold on top of it.

Went to Home Depot because they're the only place that has the odd sized air filter my house AC uses.

Pulled into the parking lot and saw a nice big sign that says they use Flock. Great. So nice of a home improvement store to contribute to the surveillance state.

Revealing piece on the scale and scope of AI-induced psychosis:

"There seem to be three common delusions [..]. The most frequent is the belief that they have created the first conscious AI. The second is a conviction that they have stumbled upon a major breakthrough in their field of work or interest and are going to make millions. The third relates to spirituality and the belief that they are speaking directly to God. “We’ve seen full-blown cults getting created”

"Oh wow so like a file that tells the computer to do exactly what you want?"

"Yep!"
