Got a new heat pump installed. Specifically got the WiFi model so I could integrate it with homeassistant. Came with a firmware update where the developers have completely reworked the API and broken the existing Daikin homeassistant integration. I didn't want to wait so blindly slapping together my own integration, which I will release tarnish and all in the coming days.
Spent some time building a clock for DayZ servers as there is no way to know the time. Realised about half way through that the effort required was not really worth it.
Going to install a tablet on my lounge room wall. Will post when that's been done.
This is for me so i am not going to dance about the instructions here.
Docker Compose
nginx:
container_name: nginx
tty: true
restart: always
environment:
TZ: Australia/Hobart
image: uozi/nginx-ui
volumes:
- ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt
- ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot
- /etc/ssl/certs/:/etc/ssl/certs/
- /etc/ssl/private/:/etc/ssl/private/
- './nginx:/etc/nginx'
- './nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui'
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
Nginx Template
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name pihole.local;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/selfsigned.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/selfsigned.key;
location / {
proxy_pass http://pihole:80;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name pihole.local;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
Now we have that crap out of the way, make sure its launched and working. Everything will be unsecured. So lets fix that
sudo openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/rootCA.key 2048
sudo openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key /etc/ssl/private/rootCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out /etc/ssl/certs/rootCA.crt -subj "/C=US/ST=California/L=San Francisco/O=MyOrganization/OU=IT Department/CN=MyRootCA"
sudo nano /etc/ssl/private/openssl-san.cnf
The contents for the new conf file:
[ req ]
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = v3_req
prompt = no
[ req_distinguished_name ]
CN = your_primary_domain.local
[ v3_req ]
keyUsage = keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[ alt_names ]
DNS.1 = your_primary_domain.local
DNS.2 = pihole.local
DNS.3 = anotherdomain.local
Primary domain can be the one hosting nginx. So nginx.local
You cannot alter this later so try to anticipate all your domains. Its not the end of the world if you cant, just run these instructions again.
sudo openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/selfsigned.key 2048
sudo openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/private/selfsigned.key -out /etc/ssl/private/selfsigned.csr -config /etc/ssl/private/openssl-san.cnf
sudo openssl x509 -req -in /etc/ssl/private/selfsigned.csr -CA /etc/ssl/certs/rootCA.crt -CAkey /etc/ssl/private/rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out /etc/ssl/certs/selfsigned.crt -days 500 -sha256 -extfile /etc/ssl/private/openssl-san.cnf -extensions v3_req
Thats pretty much it on the server end. You just need to add new nginx configs for each service.
Now, I cant yet speak for chrome, but to get firefox to stop being weird:
-
Download rootCA.crt.
-
Go into Settings > Privacy... > Veiw cert... > Authorities > Import
-
Import the file. Check the website box.
That should make firefox play nice with all the domains in the cert.
That's it! Get on with it.
In today's rapidly advancing world, the threat of an apocalypse looms large, with potential disasters stemming from multiple fronts: genetic engineering, pandemics, nuclear conflict, and artificial intelligence (AI) gone rogue. Each of these vectors presents a formidable challenge, demanding sophisticated solutions that could arguably be beyond human capacity alone. This is where the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) comes into play, promising not just advancements but perhaps survival itself.
Unpacking the Threats
CRISPR and Genetic Engineering: CRISPR technology has handed humanity the genetic scissors to edit life's blueprint. However, this powerful tool comes with the potential for unintended consequences, including the creation of new pathogens or irreversible changes to the human genome. The complexity of biological ecosystems and the high stakes of gene editing call for oversight that could one day be enhanced by AGI's computational power and predictive modeling.
Virus Manufacture and Biological Threats: The manufacture of viruses, whether for research or as biological weapons, presents a clear existential threat. Current biosecurity measures may not be foolproof in a world where technology is accessible and expertise widespread. AGI could help by designing more effective containment strategies, predicting outbreak patterns, and speeding up vaccine development through rapid simulation and testing.
Nuclear War: The perennial specter of nuclear war continues to cast a long shadow over global security. AGI could potentially manage disarmament processes, monitor compliance with international treaties, and even control nuclear arsenals with a level of impartiality and precision unattainable to humans.
AI Armageddon: Ironically, the very pursuit of AI could itself precipitate an apocalypse if control over superintelligent systems is lost. Developing AGI might seem like fighting fire with fire, but with proper safeguards, it could actually enforce stringent controls over lesser AI forms and prevent them from evolving unchecked.
Expanding Control and Developing Defenses: The Dual Pathways to Mitigation
Control Through International Cooperation: History shows us that control agreements can be effective. Just as the world has seen with chemical weapons and, to a lesser extent, nuclear weapons, international treaties can mitigate risks. The principle of mutually assured destruction has helped prevent nuclear wars so far, but it's a precarious balance. The constant threat of accidents or the actions of rogue leaders looms large, making this control only a partial solution. AGI could play a critical role by enhancing treaty verification processes, ensuring compliance, and managing de-escalation protocols during crises.
Advancing Defensive Technologies: The second approach to mitigating these apocalyptic threats is through technological advancements that counteract the risks. Just as rapid development of counter-viruses could neutralize biothreats, there needs to be a similar pace in creating defenses against nuclear weapons. For over sixty years, the world has lacked a reliable method to prevent nuclear attacks effectively. AGI could change this by accelerating the development of defensive strategies that are beyond current human capabilities.
AGI�s Role in Rational Decision-Making and Crisis Management
Imagine a scenario where a nuclear crisis is imminent. Here, AGI could provide highly rational, unbiased advice for decision-makers, potentially guiding humanity away from catastrophic outcomes. Furthermore, AGI could be tasked with developing systems capable of neutralizing threats in real-time, such as intercepting ballistic missiles or even safely redirecting them into space. This level of intervention would require an AGI with capabilities far surpassing anything currently available�an entity that combines deep knowledge of technology, human psychology, and strategic defense.
Conclusion
As we stand on the brink of potential global catastrophes, the imperative to develop artificial general intelligence has never been clearer or more urgent. AGI holds the promise of solving problems that are currently beyond human reach, acting as a guardian of humanity's future. By harnessing this potential responsibly, we could secure a safer, more resilient world for future generations.
