@rotopenguin it's a podcast and a letter that Hans wrote from prison. So AI is used to add his voice.

@T313C0mun1s7 can i offer you some green tea or strong black coffee? Haha. It happens. No issues.

Debra Lynn (gf and later wife) wasn't directly involved in the Debian project itself. She was the inspiration for the name. Debra ("Deb") Lynn + Ian ("Ian" Murdock) == Debian. He combined their names and the rest is the history.

Softlanding Linux System (SLS) was the first distro in 1992, but it was buggy. So, it led to the creation of Slackware and Debian. I had never used SLS, so I started with Slackware.

Popular technology stacks that make your life as complicated as possible:

1) It all started with the Networking stack.
2) Data stacks like LAMP, MEAN, MERN, Serverless, etc. Every stack after this made you hate your job.
3) Frontend Stack
4) Microservices Stack
5) AI Stack.

These stacks often overlap and integrate with each other depending on the project's needs. So you can't simply skip this mess now. This is why some of us want to run into woods and never return to civilization.

@m no problem. yes, followers, keep asking select all options.

Slackware is a Linux distribution created by Patrick Volkerding in 1993. It is the oldest distro still in existence. However, someone was dissatisfied with Slackware and created another distro a month later, in August 1993. This was Debian, the second oldest distro, founded by Ian Murdock. Both of these distros are still maintained, and Debian is often known as the "mother distro" because it has spawned many more distributions. #Linux #OpenSource #history

Generative AI doesn’t have a coherent understanding of the world: Researchers show that even the best-performing large language models don’t form a true model of the world and its rules, and can thus fail unexpectedly on similar tasks. https://news.mit.edu/2024/generative-ai-lacks-coherent-world-understanding-1105

@bonkers lol

"Walking Billboard" or "Sticker Enthusiast," please post your laptop pics. I wanna see how bad or good it is. LOL

You can list all currently loaded #Linux kernel modules (drivers for hardware and other stuff):
lsmod
less /proc/modules

See how to load and unload those

Can you guess who am I now from this haiku?

#Linux Asceticism https://www.rugu.dev/en/blog/linux-asceticism/

Have you ever known someone whose technical brilliance was overshadowed by personal failings? This is the story of Hans Reiser, a software developer driven to create a superior Linux filesystem, but whose difficult personality got in the way.
