@PLT_cheater @LinuxJedi People fundamentally don’t seem to understand what LLMs are and what their strengths/weaknesses are.
The hysteria over them not understanding car vs car wash relative locations recently is proof of that. 😂

@LinuxJedi I've seen a bunch of stuff happening and I'm like "why was the AI hooked into that"
English
A lot of recent headlines blame AI for outages, lost data, or even companies collapsing.
In most cases the real problem isn’t AI. It’s broken operational processes.

@Amadeus_IOM The biggest problem with IoM isn’t political, traffic, or the boat.
It’s that we’ve got a bloody McDonalds and not a Burger King.
English
For some, this means nothing.
For others, a lot.
The whirring of the hard drive, the simple "beep" - two sounds forever etched into my brain; 12 seconds of time travel.
English
@janmaris It seems the build bash script accidentally stripped some variables!
It should work better now :)

@observium after upgrade: syntax error, unexpected token "=", expecting variable in /opt/observium/includes/community.inc.php:5
Debian 12 Bookworm - PHP 8.2.29. any suggestions?

@nickchapsas Since 7 they've been chasing trends like an ferret in a ball pit.
They half execute endless failed ideas, then never clean up afterwards.
They're currently chasing the AI ball, trying to hastily shoehorn it all over an OS already ruined by chasing the "Tablet" ball.

@markusklock @popovicu94 SMH just use btrfs like me. None of the features, and none of the performance. 🥲
English
@popovicu94 I use it a lot on Linux, both as root on my laptop and for my backup servers and VM storage
I think the few downsides are:
-It can be complex to tune correctly for certain workloads
-Its slower than non-CoW filesystems such as ext4 and xfs, you trade speed for those cool features
English
I've had a lot of fun reading about FreeBSD today and I have a question.
Is ZFS the greatest filesystem/volume manager ever or what? All the features I've seen today make it sound too good to be true.
What are the downsides of ZFS?

The BSD journey continues. After the extremely smooth OpenBSD serial install, I tried FreeBSD. The installer was, somehow, even faster. But the real shock wasn't the install speed. It was what I found when I opened the package manager config in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. This is what I saw: FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+pkg.FreeBSD.org${ABI}/quarterly", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } It's... just simple. It's perfectly clear. I can see it uses variables like ${ABI}, which as a perfectly clear meaning, and that I'm on the "quarterly" branch. I instantly understand what's happening. Now, contrast that with my time-tested Debian /etc/apt/sources.list: deb deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free ... deb security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib ... As a first-time reader (or even a 10-year user), what does "bookworm" mean? It's a codename. It tells me nothing about the version, the release, or its support status. I have to go Google it. Then I have to decode what "main," "contrib," "non-free," and "non-free-firmware" all mean relative to each other. The FreeBSD config is transparent. The Debian one requires tribal knowledge. The simplicity is just refreshing. Has the Linux world lost a bit of this over time?

@Amadeus_IOM I can only imagine the insanity if a Burger King opened over here, or, heaven forbid, a Nando’s.

@voytechs @cyber_razz No, 2600s were lowish end routers in the early 2000s
You maybe mean giant catalyst 29xx family, like the c2924xl, c2950, etc.
English
@cyber_razz Weren't the 2600s like 100M switches? However, fully managed, very configurable, VLAN & QOS capable, etc.
Great for field/small offices at the time.

Stumbled across another device today
Who can tell me what this is?

The BBC Micro
What do you think of when you see this?

@LinuxJedi @oprydai Most of the amstrad machines are fugly, but the 464 has such funky colours ☺️
Its cursors are… better than c64? 🤣

English
@observium @oprydai Good point on the Master, love a numeric keypad and the cursors are better. Amstrad machines though? I guess they look OK, but not really my thing.
English
@LinuxJedi @oprydai Firstly, why not the master. Secondly, the cpc 464 👌

@1980Miyagi Understandable, given the state of modern computing. 😏

@LinuxJedi @Gammitin I got a lonely 386 board with no 30 pin simms. 😏
English
@Gammitin Found on an eBay auction in Spain. Total cost including shipping was around £100.
I've tested half so far, about a 20% failure rate. I'll sell some of the working ones off to make my money back.
English
I got three factory sealed 128MB 72pin EDO RAM kits - 4x 32MB SIMMS for £6 each kit 😮 (only two have arrived so far)! I need to test them out!

@LinuxJedi @TheRetro32UK @StooCambridge I interacted with @TheRetro32UK some time ago, he seemed like a decent guy. This is always notable when dealing with people selling things in the Amiga space... 🫣
English
Yesterday I was at an event hosted by @TheRetro32UK. I brought some of my soldering gear, some testing gear and “Jops” (an Amiga 4000 which used to be owned by @StooCambridge). I talk about it all near the beginning of this video:

@markusklock Taken long enough. I first deployed v6 in ~2006 🤣

During Tuesday 49.84% of all traffic hitting Googles edge was IPv6.
Any week now IPv4 will be the second most used protocol to access Google services.

@LinuxJedi Ahmedabad here. Thankfully I like salad. 😅

@observium I was working in Bangalore last year. Burgers and bottle openers were easy there 🙂
English
Hotel trick I learnt this weekend: if you don’t have a bottle opener with you, the arm of the spring loaded mechanism for the door works great.
English
@LinuxJedi I'm in a dry (and vegetarian) state in India at the moment, so i've not actually seen a bottle that needed a bottle opener for months! (also no burgers, lol).
English
@observium This worked very well. Pretty much exactly the right edge and spacing.
The coffee stirring spoons were thin wooden things, so I couldn’t use them.
