Yep. My paycheck has sadly not scaled in a similar manner :(

Will I even be able to afford one? Still rocking a Radeon VII here…

I can’t even find a decent PCIE USB/Thunderbolt card (one that support VFIO would be nice and actually has a Linux kernel driver, so ASM and Renesas are both out…)

I believe it’s a little more sinister than that. There is less education around these issues because many services have adopted a highly polished, “Walled-Garden” approach to their presentation. This keeps people who’ve grown up with the concepts in their walled garden loyal to that specific service, and makes it difficult for people to dig under the hood and work out how things really function without the sugar coating. They get irritated quickly because they’re used to everything “Just working” and don’t have experience on more open systems.

Therefore, they would like there to be no need for tech education unless you plan on a professional career as a tech.

As long as ownserhip don’t get carried away with enshittification chasing next quarter’s finance call and drive users away by annoying them into putting the extra effort in to learning about alternatives, they could keep it that way forever.

There’s also the term Xennials , which is 1977-1983.

It appears to have ceased development. AFAIK it still works if hooked into a “valid” user account, but since I don’t have one and am increasingly less likely to consider that path, it’s a moot point.

At least we have Bitwig for music production now (if you can work out how to use it… I still haven’t had the time :-/ )

Damn I miss 1980’s Spitting Image…

Ever since Nitter died I haven’t paid any attention to anything on musks’ little fiefdom at all.

I wish the political economics guys would move… I really miss Tim Sahay/70sbachchan & Mark Blyth.

It beggars belief that people still make the argument you responded to after the whole Clownstrike debacle.

reliability problems?

I dropped truenas, ran fedora server + zfs dkms module. It’s been perfectly fine for a couple of years (even accounting for that nasty silent data corruption bug…)

And domain permissions work properly now. People have been asking Ix for proper support for IPA for over a decade, they aren’t interested in solving it.

That dude should not have put up with that.

80% of our machines were hit. We were working through 9pm on Friday night running around putting in bitlocker keys and running the fix. Our organization made it worse by hiding the bitlocker keys from local administrators.

Also gotta say… way the boot sequence works, combined with the nonsense with raid/nvme drivers on some machines really made it painful.

Driving is a privilege, not a right and the test needs to reflect that.

That may actually provide some impetus to properly fund them so that they can fulfill their agency mission, then.

Most of them don’t have the resources and access to the professionals they need to get it done. Sure, self-serving managerial incompetence really doesn’t help to move projects along or retain talent either.

Really wish we’d get some nice, fast RISC-V base boards with a nice amount of flash memory paired with a cool round LCD display…keep patrolling CNX for the parts but they don’t seem to be quite there yet.

Men generally do not have community spaces or social support networks at this moment in history. It’s something that urgently needs a social movement to address that also doesn’t involve bigotry, flag-waving or outright nazism as an antidote.

I am glad you didn’t kill yourself, too. Stay strong.

This.

The trend to moving to discord is crappy for numerous reasons - the biggest one because i refuse to supply a phone number as the price of admission. Second, it’s hard to find and search through old content on the platform. It’s just a crap, proprietary rehash of IRC.

I’m sure it’s great to be on the white-hot front of development for new projects, but to name a few… Podman, PipeWire, Etcd… full documentation is patchy at best, a lot of common use cases aren’t answered unless you find something on the Arch Wiki (for instance) - They’re all great projects, but goddamn is it hard to find simple answers, and the more stuff moves off of github issues or forums and onto shit like discord, the less easy it is to even get a grip on the problem.

The riots are coming.
