  • First, your post is probably missing a link so we don’t have any context on what you’re asking (even if we can guess some stuff from the post text)

    Second, you mention a website being sketchy/a honeypot without providing any technical reason to believe so

    Third, this has nothing to do with computer security (maybe more of a privacy issue), and it does not look like a news piece, so this is definitely the wrong community











  • You’ve probably read about language model AIs basically being uncontrollable black boxes even to the very people who invented them.

    When OpenAI wants to restrict ChatGPT from saying some stuff, they can fine tune the model to reduce the likelihood that it will output forbidden words or sentences, but this does not offer any guarantee that the model will actually stop saying forbidden things.

    The only way of actually preventing such an agent from saying something is to check the output after it is generated, and not send it to the user if it triggers a content filter.

    My point is that AI researchers found a way to simulate some kind of artificial brains, from which some “intelligence” emerges in a way that these same researchers are far from deeply understanding.

    If we live in a simulation, my guess is that life was not manually designed by the simulation’s creators, but rather that it emerged from the simulation’s rules (what we Sims call physics), just like people studying the origins of life mostly hypothesize. If this is the case, the creators are probably as clueless about the inner details of our consciousness as we are about the inner details of LLMs





  • Your ISP might make you go through another layer of NAT. Can you find the WAN IP address of your router and compare it to your public IP address from a website such as ipinfo.io ?

    If they do not match, you’re probably out of luck and will need to forward your port from an actually public IP in order to achieve what you want

    More details : CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) is basically a second router between your router and the public internet. This second router is configured in the same way as your personal one, the main difference being that your ISP fully manages it. From the viewpoint of this second router, your WAN IP is a private IP, and you share one actual public IP with several other customers (the same way all devices on you LAN share one single WAN IP)

    Performing port forwarding from the public internet to your LAN, when behind a CGNAT, would require you to be able to configure a forwarding rule in the ISP’s NAT, which you usually cannot do.



  • The Wikipedia page says the following :

    On January 28, 2015, the ACME protocol was officially submitted to the IETF for standardization.[28] On April 9, 2015, the ISRG and the Linux Foundation declared their collaboration.[9] The root and intermediate certificates were generated in the beginning of June.[29] On June 16, 2015, the final launch schedule for the service was announced, with the first certificate expected to be issued sometime in the week of July 27, 2015, followed by a limited issuance period to test security and scalability. General availability of the service was originally planned to begin sometime in the week of September 14, 2015.[30] On August 7, 2015, the launch schedule was amended to provide more time for ensuring system security and stability, with the first certificate to be issued in the week of September 7, 2015 followed by general availability in the week of November 16, 2015.[31]

    So we’ll have another anniversary to celebrate in nearly a year
