@Yukon_GoldRef @Simon_Ingari once you get to a certain level on your career, you realize that the most inportant proprietary info isn't the code - it's the experience burned into your brain...so yeah, all of these tactics are pretty childish and ensure you never return thankfully none of mine were like that

@Simon_Ingari Because companies can be sued into oblivion or otherwise lose millions to competitors if an employee decides to leave with customer data or proprietary/confidential data

Employee sending in 14-day notice 1990s: - Receives send-off perks - Continues to work till last day - Full salary offered - Exit handled with dignity and respect 2026: - Logged out of system immediately - Security alert issued - Salary withheld for 'unknown' reasons - Locked out of office - Team warned to cut communication Why do companies require employees to submit a 14-day notice, but once they do, they are fired immediately or treated as unwanted!

@IanCutress @sahajsarup @AMD @Arm heh, I don't remember there being an SMMU... time to dust off my Overdrive

I finally got one. @AMD x @Arm in 2014. Opteron A1120, aka AMD Seattle Up to 8x Cortex-A57, 4MB L2, 8MB L3 128-bit DDR3/4-1866 PCIe 3.0 x8 and 2x10GbE

@pankoza20 @IanCutress @AMD @Arm @esxi_arm of course, and Windows 10 and Linux for sure ah those were the days - and lots of amazing people on the AMD side involved...

@IanCutress @AMD @Arm What OS can those cursed ARM Opterons even run?

Took me almost a month, but it’s finally done. I completely rewrote the first chapter of linux-insides about the Linux kernel initialization process. Now it should be aligned with modern kernels (up to master). github.com/0xAX/linux-ins…

@DevuanOrg not surprised at all

Groundbreaking OSINT investigation shows how three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major GNU/Linux distribution running systemd

you can tell the apr 2nd mailing was definitely intended - this could well pass for an April Fool's gag

well, holy shit cool approach, tho

@never_released @sahajsarup yep those are definitely not OpenPower VMs... heh

@sahajsarup I think we are watching power die

The mainframe is gaining a new instruction set: arm64 @linux.ibm.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-…

It turns out all my old Pi 4s really are worth their weight in gold now?

Arguably, it was a simple and good life. Too bad VMware is lost forever 😰

New patch for the Linux Kernel requires Age Verification when creating every file. He even went through the trouble to make actual code for it. Tested by “someone’s nephew”. 🤣

I miss 2002. In 2002 I ran XP on a single PPro 200MHz baby AT before finally getting a build that wasn't scrounged from IT recycling parts... 🤣 This board, though updated to the dual overdrives, is my dad's dual PPro... It was in a nice full tower Inwin case.

Pretty impressive for a Socket 8 board IMHO

Insanity level: ✅ just right Coreforge is at it again, repurposing an old AMD B350 motherboard (sans CPU) as a Raspberry Pi PCIe breakout board: github.com/geerlingguy/ra…

@never_released yeah... noticed, was kind of hoping it's transient, but I'm guessing that's the end of that chapter

Well this is just downright intriguing. VitruvianOS. Linux kernel with a BeOS / Haiku API compatibility layer. And its own display server (not X11 or Wayland). They just made their first real release (0.3)… and, judging by the issues on GitHub… it’s very, very Alpha. But this is unique enough that it’s worth a look. From the developers: “What we’ve created isn’t just a BeOS-compatible desktop—it’s an entirely different approach to what a Linux desktop could be. Decades of desktop OS development have been constrained by the X server model and later by Wayland. But what if you could do something different?” v-os.dev/news/vitruvian…

This is an exciting announcement: PicoMEM for Microchannel! Take my PS/2 Model 70 386 for example: it only has 3 slots. I imagine I can use the PicoMEM to replace the network card and McIDE-CF. This will also bring sound support to it!

Local H - California Songs Are they gonna age check ESXi too 🤣?

@RetroTechChris I hated these so badly in high school, now I desperately want one 🤦‍♂️

Decided I'd stream music on the Presario all in one today during the workday!
