Yeah, have an offer, normally prefer startups but this isn’t the best time for those.

That team is hiring.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
It has some wobbly bits, but it really exposes the most powerful parts of linux.
And it’s still somehow more user friendly than basically anything else in linux. Or windows for that matter.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
So, I love Debian, and it’s an excellent distro.
But personally something like suse makes more sense, it’s more user friendly and is so German it’s painful.

I want to be a sucker too :(
- Comment on A fluid battery that can take any shape. 1 week ago:
Which increases ESR and effectively reduces current, requiring larger cells/more cells in parallel.

Swtor is like that. And it’s great.
- Comment on It always seems like its time to move to linux 1 week ago:
You joke, but it’s not that bad at all.
Think they finally fixed wifi too.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 1 week ago:
Is this some kind of windows joke I’m too GPL to understand?
- Comment on Windows Defender Anti-vitus Bypassed Using Direct Syscalls & XOR Encryption 1 week ago:

Once you learn the trick, you just use it naturally.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 2 weeks ago:
Metadata.
You get the exact structure, you get the correct dates/times/permissions.
Theres a vast difference between even what rsync -p gives you VS what a snap gets you, especially the versioned files.
It’s the difference between a git repo and a zip file.
- Comment on The Genesis / Mega Drive Gets Its Own Operating System 2 weeks ago:
It’s got a 68k like a Mac and early sun workstations, give it a ton more ram and it’s good to go.
No proper mmu, so you’d want one, but it’s not actually necessarily just nice to have.
- Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible 2 weeks ago:
Jesus christ, you fell for the GOP talking points!
The bank bailout was by Paulson under Bush, it was literally just blank checks with 0 strings attached.
Obama altered the deal, he made it so onerous the banks begged to pay back the money early just to get him off their backs.
- Comment on China’s push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU 2 weeks ago:
It’ll get there quick.
I worked on HPC cpus, scaling up isn’t that hard, the hard part is dealing with your Isa baggage.
- Comment on Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’ 2 weeks ago:
The GDPR is one of the regulations that actually seems to help on a daily basis.
23andMe is going bankrupt and now a good part of the US is having their DNA sold to the highest bidder.

It was a big rock.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 weeks ago:
Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.
This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they’re 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.
Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.
Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.
Got someone to work with on a new company, so that’s part of this, though my day job relies on this too.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 weeks ago:
Doing that switch soon.
Plex doesn’t do hw accel well, which kind of defeats the purpose.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 weeks ago:
Same, except the irc, I have a python thing to interface.
Stealing your idea, that sounds awesome.

No, the terrifying part is that we’re letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.

The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.
No point anymore.

… Planing or planning?
- Comment on Hardware-Aware Coding: CPU Architecture Concepts Every Developer Should Know 4 weeks ago:
Really depends on the target, llvm goes between unrollimg and vectorizing cleanly, to unrollimg to a ludicrous degree, to refusing to unroll period.
Some of it is subtarget specific, but sometimes it’s just weird.
Gcc is evil incarnate, all it’s passes are at war with each other, loop Canon form often broke vectorization and even unrolling period.

- Comment on The internet used to come through the phone, now the phone goes through the internet. 4 weeks ago:
It actually does, but only very slow, like 2400 baud or so.
Worst case you can do 150baud which is like 2 frequency keying or something.
- Comment on If you are ever feeling like what you are doing is meaningless, remember that there are American lawyers and judges who have spent many years studying US constitutional law. 4 weeks ago:
This is the interesting part!
We Americans believe we are all blessed by the holy aura of freedom and democracy.
These models were trained on 3rd world countries.
Let’s see how far they work, maybe we really are just as weak and corrupt as those we hold in contempt.

The Palantir threat model specifically says only a fringe will put up a fight right now.
There’s a projected line in the sand where people stand up, but so long as you stay on one side, you’re safe, and the scary thing is, you can push that line and it will move.
The plan is to be super aggressive now to move the line, then 12 months from now to act all domestic abuser who regrets it and love bombing to cancel out most of the anger before the midterms.
In their defense, this is exactly how Reagan did it and it worked.
