That looks a lot like my github.

I’m not a developer. I also selfhost a forgejo instance. It’s not much better.

Created Warren, by - Robinett?

Huh, I really hope opensuse doesn’t follow suit, and at the very least red hat is being very smart and careful with their AI use.

Seeing as IBM created Watson long before LLMs became hyped, maybe they actually have a good idea of what they’re doing. Although

The focus will shift from ‘AI as a tool used on occasion’ to ‘AI automation as a way to scale the delivery of value to customers.’

Doesn’t seem like it.

I like to think of libreoffice calc as a spreadsheet program, it’s for running calculations on cells, that’s it.

Excel was, but is no longer, just a spreadsheet program. Many things have been smashed into it that could have been better implemented separately, but when you’re trying to tie down all office work to your single office suite, a hammer’s gotta hammer. So they hammered a lot of those uses into excel to keep office workers tied to it. Admittedly, that does make it easier for office work since you don’t need to train employees in multiple programs, you give them excel and teach them functions as they need them.

I think office workers would love better tools. The problem is that most programs need to be approved by IT

The antix linux call gets stronger and stronger for me everyday. I have it on a 23 year old laptop and it runs quite well, although it isn’t as clean as a using a full DE. While I do like running an enterprise grade OS, I’m happy to ditch any weak-willed organization that won’t stand up for itself or it’s users and become a radical antifascist communist cypherpunk hippie anarchist (on the outside).

Basically, they’re already spying without a warrant. This just allows them to use it as a primary source instead of making up bullshit to say they found evidence a different way.

I dug mine out of the various cables box a few days ago so I could set up a little mini network to practice networking without disrupting anything. Turns out it’s still getting firmware updates with dd-wrt, not sure if it’s truly still supported, but still.

For a little perspective, if you have 7200 RPM HDDs, they each only have a throughput of about 1.5 Gbps. USB 3.0 is 5 Gbps, so you can have 3 drives attached without maxing out a single USB connection, and that’s the older 3.0, not any of the newer USB specifications that can go up to 20 gbps, and this isn’t including thunderbolt specs. If this data is mostly sent over the network you’ll never see any impact from this unless you have a 10Gb home network. Getting things onto the drives might take a little longer than a direct connection, but if storage is more of a concern (I’m assuming it is, since you have HDDs instead of SSDs) that’s a perfectly fine trade off in my mind.

If it worked out, the idle Windows 11 RAM usage would’ve been around 4.8GB

That’s still a lot

Yeah, I miss the days of making my own mixes, sharing music with friends, etc.

I recently ripped a bunch of CDs and one of the batches was my folio in my car. I do not fucking miss having to handle CDs. The slightest scratch on the foil and it’s done, scratches on the plastic and it’s done. You had a hour and some minutes max that you could pack into one is you didn’t have an mp3 capable player.

I love getting music on CDs, I love listening to an album straight through and the hidden song at the end coming after a bunch of silence, and making a mix that flows like a God. But it’s so much nicer having all of my music ripped on my server.

You’re ISP probably provides some overpriced really crap hardware that they probably have a back door to, that I’m also not about to screw around with. I’ve always had a router behind their modem/router combo for many reasons, the first being that I have had a 100 ft Ethernet cable since 2005 that let’s me put my router where I want, I can place my wifi where it works best, not just within 6-10 feet of wherever someone 20 years ago decided to drill a hole. Second is because a ddwrt router is so much better than anything you’ll get from your provider, and you can find pretty good compatible ones on eBay or at your local thrift store for cheap.

I’ve always begrudgingly purchased rather than rented from my provider because after a year or so it is usually paid for. So far I’ve purchased four modems over almost 20 years so it’s worked out for me. As for the device itself, I don’t trust it, but I’ll still set some firewall rules just because. I have my router behind it where I do the real stuff. If I’m ever given a device that I need to connect for some sort of monitoring, like my solar panels or something like that, it can connect to my ISPs crap and do whatever sketchy shit it’s gonna do.

XMPP is ancient. So is email, the internet, and the wheel.

I’ve moved my homelab twice because it became stable, I really liked the services it was running, and I didn’t want to disturb the last lab**cough**prod server.

My current homelab will be moar containers. I’m sure I’ll push it to prod instead of changing the IP address and swapping name tags this time.

Hmmm. My pi{VPN,hole,dhcp,HA} has a little bit of overhead left…

Saturday morning: “Incus and podman seem interesting. I bet I could swap everything over while the family is out this afternoon”

Sunday evening: “Dad, when will the lights work again?”

“Damn, I’ve got this Debian server shit down. I wonder how an opensuse server would work out”

True story

Yes, but this means you don’t have to take dirt with you as well. Dirt is heavy.
