<p>Yeah. It's "thinking" in absurd massive vectors. It needs to assess a couple to weigh out. That's the compression. That's the nature. It looks ridiculous when thinking traces render out such simple statements ('reassessing ..') but I expect this is far deeper an assessment than it can fully reflect to us on, and I expect its a huge part of their thinking.</p>

<p>I really enjoy having an opencode go subscription just so I can ask some less common models questions too. Sure DeepSeek. But MiMo, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen... (Ok half those are not so unusual either.)<p>Agents cross comparing notes often surfaces some good improvements, finds interesting drifts. Ask them to reinterpret the prompt as they see it, have them describe the problem, then their findings, and run new rounds based on different models trying different prompts. Trying to swap and exchange ideas and vectors across agents.</p>

<p>I threw an example together with Sol: <i>Knoxbox</i>
<a href="https://github.com/rektide/knoxbox" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rektide/knoxbox</a><p>It assumes systemd, which it uses to start sshd. It also restarts a systemd timer to shut sshd down in 5m. Ssh is set up (by defualt on Debian) to have KillMode=process, leaving the client instances alive, just killing the listen server.<p>I tend to agree with the top post. I've never felt that knock servers really deserve consideration. That said, the way that this knock server is so small, makes use of well known parts of the system as it is (systemd), is so low risk, and built around decent security building blocks (recursively) & not some ad-hoc protocol is kind of interesting and fun. This one is pretty easy to visualize.</p>

<p>You would absolutely <i>not</i> use openssh server for this. That's a terrible idea.<p>Pick a library.

<p>Why not just use ssh as the knock protocol too? To a bespoke ssh server. Ssh to 7000, type "mellon", and ssh 22 opens up. No other software required, and you clearly already have ssh.</p>

I suspect this is 99% people who showed up because you organized a brigadging, because you incited people and told them to show up and be completely outraged.<p>There's a >0% chance that DJB could be correct that there is some risk to this spec (which notably <i>is not seeking</i> recommendation <i>status</i>! So <i>WTF</i>?) The people approving and wanting this aren't fools, aren't lackies, aren't some great foe. There's little real opposition? Making up ghosts and enemies lurking in every corner, brigading people to show up in IETF meetings, who have never participated before, just to spread heat and anger you've programmed them for, is ignoble & indecent.<p>All too recently: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48760490">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48760490</a> <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48811887">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48811887</a></p>

<p>I'm so sorry. These people doing this are just such a malignancy. A show of how incredibly corrupt and bad government can be, a show of abuse & violation of the sacred trust of the public. Alas: that itself plays in to the modern insurrectionist Republican agenda, which seems to revolve around anti-governance and insurrection itself.</p>

But watching how much effort E.B. has put into my favorite input device of all time, I can't help but want one of theirs.<p>The internal LED's are cool here. I like the indicator effect, especially with the partial transparency ball. I do wish this was bluetooh and ZMK based. Even though ZMK is lagging a decent bit behind QMK features. Zephyr is just so cool! Wireless is so great. In my opinion.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sick of having to address incorrect points masquerading as being well-informed, helpful, or knowing. Please: <i>stop it!</i> Stop it at once. You are wrong. Stop talking like you know anything, because you have only mislead and provided incomplete or outright bad information. Stop hallucinating into this thread! It's rude and bad.<p>On the OpenCode Go workspace there is a huge box:<p><pre><code>  Providers
  Control which providers are used for routing.

  Enable models hosted in China <toggle-button>
</code></pre>
If you turn this off, DeepSeek Flash & Pro both stop working:<p><pre><code>  Error: Provider request failed with HTTP 403: The latest version of this model is only available hosted in China and requires explicit opt in: https://opencode.ai/workspace/wrk_msh_is_a_liar_stop_bullshitting_please_be_real_example_url/go
</code></pre>
Kimi K3, MiMo V2.5 Pro, MiniMax M3, Qwen3.8 Max all work (remarkably!) without the box ticked! That was a strong surprise for me.<p>My request stands: I would like to have up-front information on what models only have Chinese providers. This information is not available except by buying a plan and experimenting, currently. And I had to try each one to find out, which I wish could be avoided. I want to end this thread where I started it (now that I have done the work to cut through the din and noise and misinformation), with my original request: please OpenCode Go make the information about which providers have Chinese-only/non-China hosting readily available on your website.</p>
