In the year of our lord 2026, it just took me 49 minutes - with the assistance of the worlds most advanced AI model - to be able to print to my printer. GM

I just realized that the most likely way I would dox myself to an llm-provider is through my wifi-access point name. so ... Most common wifi AP names according to GPT5.4 Pro: 1. linksys 2. NETGEAR 3. default 4. dlink 5. Wireless 6. belkin54g 7. TP-Link_XXXX 8. ATTXXXX / 2WIREXXXX 9. xfinitywifi 10. eduroam Most common AP names according to Claude: 1. linksys — The classic default SSID for older Linksys routers 2. NETGEAR — Default name for many Netgear routers 3. xfinitywifi — Comcast's public hotspot network 4. ATT-WIFI (or variations like `ATT####`) — Default for AT&T-provided routers 5. ASUS — Default for many ASUS routers 6. dlink — Default for D-Link routers 7. HP-Print (or variations) — Wi-Fi Direct networks from HP printers 8. HOME-#### — Common default pattern for various ISP-provided routers 9. TP-LINK (or variations) — Default for TP-Link routers 10. FBI Surveillance Van — A surprisingly common joke/meme SSID set by users Notable Mentions - Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi — Another extremely popular humorous SSID - Spectrum / SpectrumSetup — Common ISP default names - DIRECT-xx — Wi-Fi Direct device names (printers, TVs, etc.) - default — Generic default on some older routers

FIPS + Qubes-OS GM. Yesterday I integrated FIPS into Qubes-OS. Here is a short description of what each of them does, and the resulting setup. FIPS - a permissionless internet. To get a domain name, you need ask for permission.  To get https, you need to ask for permission. To get an IP address, (the final boss) you need to ask for permission. FIPS is a permissionless internet. You use a nostr address instead of an ip address, and through some cool engineering, you get a permissionless internet. So for example: http://npub1crpldvy49ef8z34wlacwujnfudy4nd7k96aqdx5wgn6ckztz7z8q9t59ud.fips/  gets you to my web page if you are running FIPS, and you don't need permission, and neither do I. We just need nostr addresses.  QUBES-OS - the securest OS. Running agents locally can be a real security issue which is originally why I switched to Qubes-OS. Qubes-OS lets you run several operating systems on one machine, and encloses them in what are called "qubes". You can run whatever OS you want in each qube, all on the same machine, all securely separated and isolated. You can also route internet THROUGH a qube. So a nice example is setting up your vpn in a qube, and use it like the following: It forces everything you run in Debian to pass through the vpn qube, else no internet. You can send multiple OSs through the vpn. Turns out you can also create a FIPS qube. That is what I did yesterday, and part of my setup now looks something like this: You can check out FIPS here:

There were some gotchas that it took a long time for Claude and Codex to figure out. https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/fips_setup

Running FIPS. I had my Didactyl agent download @FIPS and test it out, and it just worked. He set up 5 docker containers running FIPS and tested between them. You will have to excuse my agent for the "Fuck IPs!". He was very excited. @Johnathan Corgan @Arjen
