August 28, 2025 HPR4454: AI, It's a Trap!
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.
Hello, this is Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio.
In episode, it seems that AI is a trap. This over-arching
generalization is my opinion and may not reflect the opinions of
HPR.
So the back story to this is that I was listening to the 26 hour
Hacker Public Radio New Year’s show, and the discussion came up in the
Tech and Coffee Telegram
Channel
My Resolution was to stop using ChatGPT for an AI chat bot,
with the implication being to not using AI at all, but instead, to use
Duckduckgo
and
Brave
Search
Probably less than a week or two later, I was trying to figure out
something, and figured that I’d use the easy way and use
Claude.ai
, which is
actually pretty good if you have short and concise questions. I’ve found
that if you have a long drawn-out question, it is better to do a Google
or
Duck search
and document your results.
I document in Vim, but you can use whatever is best.
This way you can clearly show what works and doesn’t work and refer
to what you find later, instead of relying on an online service. And
sometimes, depending on the AI bot you use, exporting is not very
straightforward. With the exception of
Duck.ai
, that has a button for a quick share of a
text file. Then you share it to your self somewhere else like in
Proton
mail
Well… Over the past weekend, I was just making a quick upload button
to my own server. The previous weekend, I got HTTPS working. This was
just from following the guide on the
Let’s Encrypt -
Documentation
and
EFF Certbot instruction -
Apache2
websites. At least that time, instead of using the AI bot, I
just followed clear documentation.
See, the thing about going right to the
Debian Wiki
or
the
Arch Wiki
is that users and developer have already documented plenty. I figured
out that part of the hacker method is not to take the ‘easy’ way, but to
document out what you are trying to learn.
So this past weekend, I was trying to learn something about that
upload form, and I probably took longer going back and forth with the AI
bot than If I had taken the time to search the documentation. And even
if it did take longer with the documentation, I would have learned
something else and created a Markdown document of my own. There is a
tool I use once in a while, which is part of the
Duckduckgo
search,
called
Search Assist
This can be good, because a have a horrible memory. If there is
something small that I can’t remember how to do, I let
Duck.ai
take care of it. But recently, I have turned
off the option where it says to sometimes show
Search Assist
, but instead only when it is on
demand. That way I won’t be tempted to go down a rabbit hole in order to
find what I am looking for. Instead base what I am looking for on
standard tools.
So Yes, AI is a trap, but is also useful for certain things. But if
you are careful how you use it, it’s not always a bad thing.
This has been Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio.

August 27, 2025HPR4453: IPv6 for Luddites
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.
IPv6 for Luddites

Andrew (aka mcnalu) recently triggered Beni by saying that he turns off
IPv6
in order to get devices working on his home network. In this show Beni educates Andrew the
Luddite
and explains why moving from IPv4 to IPv6 is a good idea. They also explore how IPv6 can be used in a world where ISPs and devices do not all support it and what tools, tips and tricks are available during this rather long transitional phase to the newish (like 30 years old, a blink of an eye in IT) protocol.

Relevant RFCs
RFC 4861: Neighbor Discovery
(basically the ICMP based replacement of ARP)
RFC 4862: Stateless Address Configuration
RFC 4941: Privacy Extension for SLAAC
RFC 6146: NAT64

August 26, 2025HPR4452: Turn Coffee Into Code - Slogans from Tech(Companies, App, People)
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.
Private coffee

From the website:

"
Private.coffee is a non-profit association dedicated to
supporting privacy and digital sovereignty.

We provide privacy-respecting alternatives to common services,
educate users about digital privacy, and advocate for a more
private and secure internet.
"

I came to it while searching for a Matrix homeserver in https://joinmatrix.org/

Slogan: "Open-source software is best served hot"

Site: https://private.coffee/
Fluffychat

From the website:

"
FluffyChat is an open source, nonprofit and cute [matrix] client
written in Flutter. The goal of the app is to create an easy to
use instant messenger which is open source and accessible for
everyone.
"

The most pleasant messenger I've ever used. Beautiful (and that's
the meaning of "cute"), can be used on the web or app.

Once, the developer, Krille-chan, I think on Mastodon, said some
users thought "cute" was not professional. But, for him, it was a
way to convey the meaning of beautiful. So, the slogan stays as:

Slogan: "The cutest messenger in [matrix]"

Site:
https://fluffychat.im/
Soatok blog

From the website:

"
Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and
humanity, from a member of the furry fandom.
"

A respected man that studies and works with cryptography. Among
other themes, he analyses messengers, and protocols in general,
and explains — sometimes discovering grave vulnerabilities. His
post recommending to not use Session made the app developers itch.

They responded to Soatok on their social media (without
mentioning his name, only "a blogger") saying the points raised
were unfounded.

Slogan (if not simply the title...): "Dhole moments" (Dhole is an
Asian wild dog)

Site:
https://soatok.blog/
4d2

From the website:

"
So it's come to this...you've met us

Since 2001, 4d2 dot org has worked to provide interested folks
with free access to communication and collaboration services in
a mixed Linux/BSD environment. We focus on technical
transparency, user privacy and free speech, with a dash of
cypherpunk and retrocomputing for good measure
".

It's like the Private Coffee we've seen before. I discovered this
one first, looking for Matrix homeserver to try. This one has the
advantage of having WhatsApp bridge.

And so I wanted to present this one, but no slogans, so I made a
concession: not a slogan, but the nonprofit corporation that
operates 4d2: "All Computers Are Brilliant" (Inc.)

Site:
https://4d2.org/
Frugalware Linux (
in memoriam
)

I loved this distribution! I felt the king on the hills with it,
still on my initial enchantment with Linux.

From the website:

"
Frugalware is a general purpose linux distribution, designed for
intermediate users (who are not afraid of text mode).

We try to make Frugalware as simple as possible while not
forgetting to keep it comfortable for the user. We try to ship
fresh and stable software, as close to the original source as
possible, because in our opinion most software is the best as
is, and doesn’t need patching.
"

Slogan: "Let's make things frugal"

Site:
https://frugalware.org/

Those are some that come from what I use or used and that I
separated to talk to you all.

You may find around some developers with this one: "transforming
coffee into code". Cool, too. I only don't remember one
specifically that says so.

Here, with you, is Antoine.

And I thank you for listening.

Bye, bye!
