Thanks for your interest in joining the botnet!
I'd recommend using "password" as your password and "root" for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don't make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.
Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.
I am sure there was already something going on, but the sycophantic nature of AI chatbots means they are very effective at preying on mental illness.
You can see how someone with schizophrenia, OCD, etc. might get into a very unhealthy state with them. Or the lonely people being taken in by creepy "AI girlfriend" apps.
Again, not that there aren't undeying issues, but in the race for more AI everything it's clear that these companies don't give a shit who gets chewed up and destroyed on the way. And in the US, AI chatbots are now the fastest way someone can feel like they're being listened to and understood by a therapist. And, given the political situation, I won't be at all surprised if ChatGPT is approved as a therapist. They've already got AI prescription writing in Utah.
Thanks for the explanation!
Looking some stuff up, it seems like stable diffusion takes text input, converts it into this CLIP embedding, and then converts that into an image? I think the weird characters here are referring to stuff in the CLIP embedding. That said I really don't know.
I am not sure lol. perhaps your ssh port isn't exposed to the internet, or maybe the bots are just ignoring you? maybe your hosting provider has some sort of security process to reject those attempts preemptively?
I have no clue
so fun to look through the ssh log and see hundreds of attempts...
it seems like the brick walls in my case really impede signal. connection across the sides of the chimney, which is brick, seem to suffer a lot.
Oooh, they work with it? ... my family still has these as actual WiFi routers. the coverage kinda sucks.
on any server with ssh exposed you'll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.
