Mikrotik is pretty decent but their configuration method drives me up a wall. Ansible helps mitigate the annoyance, at least (in that I only have to figure out/remember the arcane incantation for configuring VLANs once, and then subsequently just have the machine do it).

You think you can just go into starbucks, and present your butthole, to all who look at you, while also sleeping on their counter?

I mean, anybody can do pretty much anything they want at least once.

There are chipset design issues and there are firmware issues. The former is much more difficult to address quickly than the latter, sure.

Torvalds’s point, though, is that hardware developers (Intel specifically) keep making changes that “fix” imaginary problems while screwing over compatibility, and trying to shift the onus of making it work to the volunteers who contribute to open source instead of just paying their engineers to produce working firmware.

If the problem were only with defective silicon, I’d agree with you (to an extent), but this is not really an issue with the circuits.

To add to this, spent fuel is over 90% recyclable. If the US were to instate a comprehensive recycling program like France has done, the spent fuel cache could be reduced to negligible amounts.

If it results in the nuclear plants remaining online and providing energy after the AI bubble pops, that doesn’t seem so bad.

Fission is one of the cleanest energy sources we have today.

Well, at least the one star 😉

Which GPU do you have? I’m looking for an upgrade and those framerates make me drool.

Point of clarification: DAC is copper, AOC is fiber.

A lot of 10G equipment will support 5G/2.5G SFPs as well, so it can still be beneficial to go 10G on the core equipment.

There’s that awful dad joke that foggy was talking about; Use it as inspiration for your exasperated sigh.

Signing every message should have zero effect for people who don’t use PGP; they’ll just have a cryptic block of text at the bottom of the message you sent.

It’s overkill to ship your pubkey with every email. Most people just publish to a trusted keyserver and call it a day since pretty much every client worth its salt can look up your pubkey directly.

One way they could increase the housing supply is by severely taxing corporate ownership of single-family homes (and possibly low-occupancy multi-family homes like duplexes).

Give it a grace period, say… 3 months (to cover the cases where a bank forecloses and is sole owner while the house is auctioned), then charge like 95% tax on market value every quarter.

omg dude you can’t just ask about white collards

alternate joke: I guess you could say it’s a white collard crime?

Username checks out.

This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn’t last the intended period.

A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they’d often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.

I agree with you completely, and I’m glad the game exists. It’s just objectively the worst video game I’ve ever played.

Desert Bus.

The problem with this take is the assertion that LLMs are going to take the place of secretaries in your analogy. The reality is that replacing junior devs with LLMs is like replacing secretaries with a network of typewriter monkeys who throw sheets of paper at a drunk MBA who decides what gets faxed.

“asked to resign as part of layoffs”

The sheer audacity. “Please quit so we don’t have to pay you severance or unemployment.” It boils the blood.
