Ancient and venerable. My interests are many and varied. Hate is not welcome here.

@LeeandLie FWIW, that specific cable is a QSFP to SFP split DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable — it takes one 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps port on a network switch or router and connects it to up to four 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps ports on another switch or server. (They are definitely modern!)

@AoToHime2 I've had a server drive running in a "predictive failure" state for around 7-8 years now. I refuse to replace it — I want to see just how long it lasts before the prophecy of its doom is fulfilled.

I still have no idea how this hard drive is still alive. It's been at 0% health for 3 years. Almost reaching 11 years of service

@Lina_Hoshino Learning all kinds of interesting stuff this evening! I appreciate you taking the time to educate a dumb network engineer — I really should brush back up on the software side of things again (in my copious spare time, of course...).

Well this is ✨interesting✨! Turns out, macOS already supports what it needs to run Intel binaries with a non-Rosetta emulator, after Rosetta dies. It's behind a private entitlement for now, but still! Wine+FEX+ARM64EC anyone? ^^

@Lina_Hoshino @jimscard Fair enough — I missed some of the nuance in that thread the first time around. (That, and I'm badly out of software engineering practice and I've *never* been a platform architecture expert.)

@SpecMode @jimscard I touched on all that in the previous thread x.com/Lina_Hoshino/s…

Rosetta 2 requires almost the entire OS to have Intel support. That's how it works. Everything that isn't a kernel driver runs as Intel code when you use it. When macOS fully drops Intel support, Rosetta 2 stops working. That's why they're doing this.

@Lina_Hoshino @jimscard Vanishingly few, I suspect. My question is, would Apple dedicate engineering resources to supporting enough of x86-64 to run Wine vs enabling just what's needed for x86-64 Mac binaries? (*Is* there a significant delta between the two, for that matter?)

@jimscard @Lina_Hoshino There are a lot of Intel-based Mac games out there — likely the vast majority of the Steam Mac library, for instance.

@Lina_Hoshino I guess we'll get our answer if there's a Game Porting Toolkit 4.0 beta released during WWDC in June.

Looks like Adobe realized that they screwed up with the last Creative Cloud update and decided not to mess with the hosts file anymore.

@lucahjin I wondered that when *both* of these showed up in my feed earlier today...and then I stopped wondering, because I'm no longer sure I *want* to know the answer.

tonya described snow crane as someone who reminds her of me, proceeds to call snow crane a sweet hag, and tells me on my 30th birthday she'll be the first person to call me a sweet hag
