My ISP provides a /48 for IPv6 via prefix delegation so all internal machines that support it have a ULA and DHCPv6. I have disabled SLAAC . In docker I assign a /64 of that prefix to docker containers. The local addresses is what most of the internal network stuff is based on (DNS etc) rather than the globally accessible address. The PD addresses are only about going onto the internet.

SLAAC actually is just fine, I just didn’t really want to be exposing the manufacturer information of the addresses online so preferred DHCP, but either or both together works from OpenWRT prefix delegation.

I have never killed an SSD with wear. I have had their controllers die long before they should (OCZ drives!) but even my original 80GB Intel Gen 1 SSD is still kicking along working happily with about 70% of its wear remaining. All my modern era gen 3 and above drives are still working and nothing below 93%. Its enormously difficult to get SSDs worn out on a desktop or home server.

If someone chooses to do that then yes its a better option, but 4GB of LLM shouldn’t just be shipped in a browser.

This AI bubble is going to take so much of the economy with it and I can’t help but think we are all going to be paying to keep “too big to fail” businesses that clearly knew it was a bubble but invested anyway because the public would pay if it went side ways.

Even weirder in my experience is doctors trying to pull you off medication you need for no reason at all. They seem to do these reviews and then suggest diabetics come off their insulin and I can not work out what the heck they think they are doing, its getting people hurt or killed if they don’t stand up to them.

apt dist-upgrade is a necessary change to your process in place of just upgrade.

Or hosting your own services. 25 gbit/s is a lot of potential to scale up to a pretty decent sized web business before you need to get dedicated hosting.

I wish this was just in the USA but numerous countries in the EU handed out billions upon billions to private companies to roll out VDSL and then fibre connections (GPON) and the public owns none of what has been made despite paying for it all and the bonuses on top. Now the higher speeds are grossly more expensive than the old DSL lines used to be and they are turning those all off and getting to pocket the increased prices.

Item 3 is even shovelling more AI into more places. About the only thing that is real in that list is the taskbar being able to be moved, and this was something they have promised would happen since they rewrote the taskbar and crippled its functionality.

I keep trying to use the various LLMs that people recommend for coding for various tasks and it doesn’t just get things wrong. I have been doing quite a bit of embedded work recently and some of the designs it comes up with would cause electrical fires, its that bad. Where the earlier versions would be like “oh yes that is wrong let me correct it…” then often get it wrong again the new ones will confidently tell you that you are wrong. When you tell them it set on fire they just don’t change.

I don’t get it I feel like all these people claiming success with them are just not very discerning about the quality of the code it produces or worse just don’t know any better.

No country has managed a transition to communism, all of them got turned into various types of authroritarian dictatorships. There is no known method for transitioning to communism and maintaining it.

I still had some issues with the mouse speed on cachyos even after I disabled acceleration. I felt off on its default and I ended up boosting it. Thing is my mouse has its speed inbuilt so I don’t need external software or anything else to configure it on Linux so I don’t understand why I had to boost the speed to make it behave a bit better, it felt like there was some latency as well.

Would be a nightmare to adminster as well, has so much less automation and tooling for deployment and updating of software. Even now the updating of apps on windows is a mess and the closest they have come is winget that centralises the entire thing through stores, completely useless for the corporate world. There is a reason Linux won on the server.

Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.

Pretty certain cd and pwd have changed over the years. The kernel hasn’t remained the same so the commands that use it wont and now we have faster methods to do various things like getting file data the commands that depend on it will change. Less quickly than something that is still gaining features but bit rot is a very real effect since every single part of software is in constant flux.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

Alas I don’t think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative. There is zero point building something that also accommodates the USA right now as the new King is quite likely to ban it and waste all the time put into it. Even a treaty put in place wouldn’t stop this from happening, so frankly its not worth an EU or any other countries company anticipating doing anything with the USA for the foreseeable future.

Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don’t automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema’s requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.

31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.

I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.

I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.
