This is super cool! I am using some llm work to help me bring my mmo project (2013-present) to prod, but my project is much more about pushing the edge of the mmo technology space, and my strategy has as one of its pillars the importance of

This is forcing me to rethink lots of old sysadmin habits I have. This is good. I'm adapting, as we should. Headed back to functional/repl languages myself. Might even drop zig.

Now if we could just get people to combine Guix and other guile scheme packages that are awesome like mcron into their stacks, and then backfeed more fixes into the ecosystem, we have a real chance at helping GNUland!

If you are a complete normie, turn back now, it's gonna get conspiratorial. Otherwise, read on for some insights. First, one must understand that the Federal Reserve was the main trojan horse vehicle for the European banking families i

Now how do I apply this to get the most realistic looking shaders in 3d?

I'm doing a metasim in full 3D with physics, I just keep seeing the limitations of the video format too much, but it is amazing when done right. The other biggest concern is licensing of output.

edit* Apparently because I haven't used firewall-cmd in a long time, I was wrong on this: firewall-cmd does indeed use nftables by default.

Social gates, not tech ones. Linkedin exploits the network effects of gui-ninjas under stockholm syndrome to an anti-user service. The same reason you get wierd looks when you say you don't facebook sometimes. It's like existing o

UFW and Firewall-CMD both just use iptables in that context though. The real upgrade is in switching to nftables. I know I'm going to need to learn eBpf as the next step too, but for now nftables is readable and easy to grok especially

Just as cloud agnosticism means you should be able to bootstrap your infra in different clouds, that also includes your ci/cd. As a greybeard sysadmin, my advice is to start separating your ci/cd from the platforms you run on. ht

UK House of Lords are a buncha of Jimmy Savile pal types, if you get my drift. The same blackmail and bribery networks that exist in the US largely were learned from the Brits, who of course gave Palestine to the zionists on behalf of dragg

Can expound on what software did this on its own?

I second systemd-nspawn being a hidden gem for this usecase. I use git post-recieve hooks that target it for much of my ci/cd pipelines. I also find myself using nspawn just to isolate apps like firefox, etc.

Yep, with DMA sometimes. I've heard this same thing on the Pinephone forums iirc during the early years.

I think many of us linux admins have such a list. Mine in particular is carefully crafted around GPL-izing my stack as much as possible. I really like the format of this ikrima.dev one though! The other stuff is great too, worth a peruse.

Another reason emacs as an OS (not fully, but you know) is such a great way to get used to things you have on systems. Hence the quote: "GNU is my operating system, linux is just the current kernel". As a greybeard linux admin, I

Even in the US, selling to kids is illegal in most states, so the same issue applies: kid can't buy vape at store, kid goes to adult who is likely to be criminal to get them to buy for them, now kid is vulnerable to exploitation.

The soulutions is iptables. The solution is nftables. The solution is bpf. The solution is emacs-m-x-butterfly-bpf.

I recently did a deep dive on cli password management in an attempt to harden my bash scripts. (yes, I love bash, despite HN always loving to talk crap about it) Pass is just a shell wrapper around gnupg, when you run pass some/secret&

Security, including privacy, is about layers of hardening. In this case, minimization of leakage and other privacy concerns for some can still be worth the tradeoffs. For example, some apps literally refuse to work on a completely de-google

No, because it became a locked down ecosystem that is user-hostile and not user-controllable. I realized this when I observed the younger generation, who I thought would be much better than us at computing, who had not a clue how anything w

I grew up in the mountains at about 8500 ft, but was often spending my freetime at higher elevations surrounding the village. There are lots of little things about living at high altitude people don't think about, such as cooking times

As a linux admin, I refuse to install npm or anything that requires it as a dep. It's been bad since the start. At least some people are starting to see it.

I wonder if it is image only or using IR - my anti IR sunshades will prevent the latter from working...
