‘vimtutor’ is your friend. Nobody sane uses vim as an IDE, but if you have to ssh to a host to fuck with a config file it’s pretty nice to know because you can guarantee that most distros have at least vi, if not vim.

Apple’s chips are pretty good i hear

What a shame, I really like my synology but it’s getting old. Guess it’s a home built nas next :/

Fuuuck that

Vietnam stare

Wait, what? I’m legit not familiar with immutable distros, is it like you’re only allowed to modify certain directories?

Hahaha my partner just started not using the wifi and didn’t tell me, I found out when her data ran out 🙄

Significant in so far as I no longer need to worry about switch banned i guess… kinda a you can’t fire me I quit situation lol

I remember at one point a company i worked for had Lync messenger - M$‘s corporate messenger. Then, when they bought skype it went through a whole rebrand to Skype business, but the process still showed up as lync.exe in the task manager.

Sometimes I go into my router’s logs and look at the firewall messages where it blocks all the traffic my printer tries to send to the internet with a smug look on my face

Stop at locker 🤣

Holy shit that’s brilliant

Fuckin LLM bubble needs to burst already. I want some crazy compute cards to play with.

Also, who knew the only people who would pay 2400/yr for access would bebe the ones who plan to make hundreds of queries per day. What do like, people try to think about value for money before they buy stuff?! What are you all… like not filthy rich?! Ew.

That’s ok, with how much more they’re paid than everyone else I’m sure they’re all far too clever to be fooled - corporations are the epitome of a meritocracy don’t you know?

I recall that they wouldn’t even let you bring your own unlocked device for a while - they remember us rooting to get free tethering when they wanted an extra $30/mo for that, greedy fucksticks

def looks like a handwritten 00:00:01 countdown clock on it lmfao

I know it’s not totally relevant but I once convinced a company to run their log aggregators with 75 servers and 15 disks in raid0 each.

We relied on the app layer to make sure there was at least 3 copies of the data and if a node’s array shat the bed the rest of the cluster would heal and replicate what was lost. Once the DC people swapped the disk we had automation to rebuild the disks and add the host back into the cluster.

It was glorious - 75 servers each splitting the read/write operations 1/75th and then each server splitting that further between 15 disks. Each query had the potential to have ~1100 disks respond in concert, each with a tiny slice of the data you asked for. It was SO fast.

Our patch improves data harvesting speed by 13%!

I put my cloud in containers

Typing “kill -9” into a terminal is the equivalent to breaking out the acetylene torch when a nut won’t budge
