- Comment on King Charles III arrives in Canada to underscore its sovereignty after Trump annexation threats 1 week ago:
Canada is technically a “Constitutional Monarchy” which means ultimately it’s governed under King Charles the III. That’s the part I’m saying is fucked up. A King from another country (UK) has come to Canada (another country) to remind the US of Canada’s “sovereignty”. The monarchy shouldn’t even exist, let alone have claim over a completely independent country.
- Comment on King Charles III arrives in Canada to underscore its sovereignty after Trump annexation threats 1 week ago:
Monarch from one country that says it has claim over another country, says that the second country has sovereignty? What?

- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 1 week ago:
Even if it didn’t, you can bet your IT department would have a GPO or policy preventing its installation. Why do you think that you can bring and hook up a piece of unapproved hardware that may do more than what it says without the company (who owns the device) vets it?

Ngl. I bought a signal jammer for my wife to use in her classroom (after all, it said “for educational purposes only”) and the kids could never figure out why the signal sucked so bad in her classroom during class times. She never got caught using it and never had to worry about them being on their phones.
If there was an emergency, people would just call the front office and they could always reach her on the land line in the classroom.

Oof. I feel this. Or when a position has been posted on LinkedIn for only 2-3 hours and already has over 100 applications.

So here’s what I don’t get. LLMs were trained on data from places like SO. SO starts losing users ,and thus content. Content that LLMs ingest to stay relevant.
So where will LLMs get their content after a certain point? Especially for new things that may come out or unique situations. It’s not like it’ll scrape the answer from a web page if people are just asking LLMs.

WSL2 now supports WSLg which allows you to run X11 (or other graphics packages) natively now.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 2 weeks ago:
So besides the brownie points, im curious what having it open sourced will benefit. Not like you can fork it to run on a different OS. You can make some extensions but to do what? You can’t really tie it further in to the host OS unless you know of some undocumented Win32 APIs.
Maybe im just not thinking creatively enough.

So effectively, they don’t do what GOG is doing.

I really had trouble getting in to that game. May try it again but it seemed a bit too… generic?

Fair enough

Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app

I frequent ani.social quite often too. I’ve watched too many shows I stopped counting and guess what…. I prefer dubs gasp! So they’re not for children. It’s just a matter of preference and I love how the localizations are getting better rather than just rote translation (more gasps!)

There’s a dub for it if you don’t like reading subs.

That’s like saying “why are measles news? It happens more often than you think”
The point is: it shouldn’t be happening. We’re starting to see outward signs of a decaying system. If their personnel were correctly trained, with following proper procedures (for example, securing all equipment and vehicles to the deck) this wouldn’t happen.
It’s news because “it’s happening” period.
- Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 4 weeks ago:
We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates filled cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.
- Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 4 weeks ago:
Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.
The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on
Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.

Is this the same girl we’ve been seen pictures of since she was a little kid? She’s probably so used to it by now it’s second nature. Though at first I thought it was Drew Barrymore from the thumbnail
- Comment on The more I know about something, the more my claustrophobia starts acting up 5 weeks ago:
Gives new meaning to ignorance is bliss…
But seriously, take solace in the fact that you can never know everything about something. Physics, math, random subjects, you name it. The world and knowledge forever increase. So there is no way in your lifetime you’ll ever fill a chamber. Thinking you can is limiting hubris on your end. The more you learn, the more you’ll realize there’s so much you don’t know.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 5 weeks ago:
So I know nothing about the games but each are set in the same world and right next to each other? Do they take place in the same timeframe?
Reminds me a bit of RDR1 and RDR2
