@nixCraft interesting, I've always considered "cd .." as climbing out of the depths of folders within folders, back to the top of the file system!

@nixCraft why is that last word not plural? You all only have one server?

@nixCraft the double-check it part is getting harder and harder every day IMHO. Search results are getting poisoned with the same flawed junk output as the LLMs are generating.
We should have archive.org-ed the Google search index database itself around 2020 or so, to make it possible to search without having to weed through the junk...

@nixCraft anybody who hates Jenkins, gets upset about the wrong things in life :-)

@nixCraft you call it a data loss, I call it spring cleaning. We are not the same.

@nixCraft 6: 1 teardown top cover, 1 bottom cover, and 4 matching on the expansion bays. Now guess what model laptop this is ;-)

@nixCraft I thought "it should always be open" is about emacs?

@nixCraft because "ip a" sounds too much like you want a hipster beer?

@nixCraft "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

This applies everywhere, and if you remember this everytime something upsets you, your life will become significantly more pleasant ;-)

@nixCraft without having enough knowledge about the details: snap looks to me way too much like flatpak to warrant being it's own thing.

@nixCraft just shut down the mailserver, 100% email spam blocked!

@nixCraft just WOW! The video is a recording of over a week! Very impressive project, and quite humbling to realise how much cpu cycles we waste nowadays. People got things done on those chips. Imagine what our current hardware is capable of doing if you optimise things as hardcore as was normal back then.

@nixCraft shame, but at the same time this shows the power of mastodon / open source. You can just download your data and move over to a different server. Try doing that with the former blue bird or the F-site.

@nixCraft svn all the way!

@nixCraft ZFS is just wonderful. Bit of a learning curve if you are after serious performance, but it makes backups so easy in combination with sanoid

@nixCraft IMHO most security goes out the window when you have physical access AND specialised equipment...
So good that this is found and fixed in newer models, but unless you are guarding state secrets, admin access to high-value targets, or nuclear launch codes, you can probably still use it without losing too much sleep

@nixCraft you underestimate how slippery frozen water can be ;-)

@nixCraft you forget visiting the Arch forums to look for solutions, because those people already ran into the same problem 6 months ago...

@nixCraft fixing bikes. I worked in a bike shop before, and I can very much recommend it (if you do not need to make a lot of money).

@nixCraft you always test your backups, and you're still posting, so it must be taxes
