@mirabilos @scuttlebutt The more modern ones do speak 4G. The difference between 4G and 5G is data bandwidth, which for a dumbphone is only relevant if you want to turn it into a mobile hotspot (but then you can buy a device specifically for that). For phone calls, a 4G dumbphone should be good for years to come.
Of course that doesn't answer the reliability, but then that's probably just another case of planned obsolescence, not much I can help with that...

They do still make dumbphones. It takes a bit of looking, but they're there.
https://www.bestproducts.com/tech/electronics/g60343009/best-dumb-phones/ has a few examples (I have nothing to do with this site, just found it by a simple web search)

Unpopular opinion:
There is nothing that screams more 'pizza' than pepperoni.
Everything else is just 'I'm trying but I can't quite get there'

Which jurisdiction?
I know someone who wrote a book on that, from Belgium. Dunno whether that's helpful though.

I should add:
Obviously a part of why it only took half a day was because I didn't care about having a smooth, polished experience. I could have spent a lot more time fine tuning the config.
It served its purpose, which was to get a laugh from the guy, and it was 100% functional from the physical CD which we gave him at the goodbye party, but it was a bit rough around the edges. With a few more days I could have fixed that, but there was no point, obviously.

Debian has a tool called 'live-build' it's used for creating the official live images and can be configured quite easily for creating custom ones.
I once used it to create a prank 'distribution' as a gift for someone who was leaving a job and which did all the things he had been railing about what we shouldn't do in our software for Linux distributions. Took me half a day to do, most of that was writing the script that it would start at boot time.

OK. I see what you mean. It's a risk, though I don't see it as likely as you seem to think.
IME, reviewing code is faster than writing it from scratch. This applies whether the code is generated or submitted. Whether that happens is the more interesting question, rather than whether LLMs are used, IMO
Corruption bugs are always possible, LLMs may increase the risk but they don't introduce it. You need backups of your vault regardless.

How is it different from allowing pull requests from rando's on the internet?
Using LLMs for coding has some ecological, legal, and ethical repercussions, but as long as you review the generated code properly the same way you're supposed to review code from 3rd parties, *security* should not be an issue, in my view.
Am I missing something?

Some of them will, yes. Not all of them. This will still be a positive outcome.

... Except that ed25519 isn't ECDSA, it's EdDSA.
Similar enough that it doesn't really matter for the above advice, but still.

Anything ECDSA will do really, though some curves are better than others.
Personally I have an RSA key for annoying old machines and a NIST P-384 key for everything else, but ed25519 is pretty popular too and in the same ball park.
Some people don't like the NIST curves because the NSA muddled with Dual_EC_DRBG, but that incident was suspected before confirmed by Snowden, and no similar suspicions exist for the NIST curves.

When you mention something like that, it's good style to link to an example for those of us that are interested but lazy 😉
