Open terminal on BBC micro to mainframe in university campus, ftp to ftp.funet.fi, patiently wait for 6 hours while a single jpeg of (hopefully!) Cindy Crawford in her skivvies downloads to mainframe. Then download using zmodem for another hour to local computer. Save on floppy, back to dorm room, to find out it’s corrupted. 😂👍

No idea. It was working great until this morning.

And this is the fifth line of four…

I’ll bet the Intel management engine is just as “vulnerable”. The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there’s “plenty of existing exploits” that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.

Fair enough. But the fact I can’t even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I’m using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It’s connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it’s being antialiased multiple times or something?

Locking basic homelab functions behind a $50/year license means it is purged. Sad, because it had potential, though it suffers from a weird text scaling issue that means everything is just very slightly blurry.

30s are rookie numbers. I’m 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.

Emily wrote this one and you can tell she was on fire. Really good video.

I honestly hope they don’t do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like “we can’t run Photoshop” level shit. Dumb “no shit Sherlock” type nonsense.

That means they won’t actually try, they’ll just “do it for the content” and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that “Linux still isn’t ready for us” and they’ll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user’s mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.

I’ve seen a few people who run proxmox on the bare metal with k8s running inside VMs, or containers, inside proxmox. I’m not sure if I should just go full bare metal k8s or have the proxmox (or other?) intermediate layer…

Not seen that one before, but I’m familiar with the concept. I’m working on something for myself that’ll go into our will prep when we finally get around to it.

The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn’t say. I’m guessing that he didn’t want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that’s my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly… https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV

Why does this reek of the BBC and Jimmy Savile?

This was probably an error- a bunch of stock became available about 30 past. That’s when I got mine.

Same here. I was closing steam, figured it wasn’t my lucky day after the out of stock message, and just refreshed the order out of habit and it went sailing through!

Yeah, I got the error page a bunch of times, then the “we’re out of stock”, and finally, an order confirmation! I suspect the servers were just overloaded - valve is definitely underestimating demand - and then they were running into fulfillment issues that have slowly been sorted out.

There’s no doubt some bots got some, but I think there’s a lot of happy second steamdeck owners today as well…

My brother used to drive British tanks, and constantly mocked other tank brands. I run Debian btw.

Debian guy could have just downloaded the nonfree installer that includes some common wifi and other hardware firmwares. There are some pragmatists at Debian.

I have the original 512. I’m going to have that custom shell. I am a sucker for consumption… I must consume…
