Fuck, he’s stupid.

To obtain a PhD, you need to contribute something original to your field of study, not just regurgitate what you’ve scraped from other studies.

50 threads saturating a single core.

As someone running a UPS on my ubuntu server, “uptime” represents the time since the last kernel release, and not much else.

I always liked the dramatic…

…pause.

I’ve never used em-dashes to represent them. Am I doing it wrong?

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.

Chinese EV makers, led by Build Your Dreams (BYD)…

BYD is short for Biyadi. Who writes this shit?

Yeah. My kids use sober all the time. It’s surprisingly clean.

I bet it would be used to play Roblox and Fortnite. Two games that are inexcusably blocked from WINE/proton.

Programmers need to respect other people’s hardware. A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.

My data is stored on a mirrored RAID, and backed up on two alternating offsite drives. For every TB of space I use, I buy 4. I do not consider this negotiable.

I don’t back up game installs, but by point remains valid. 90% of hardware advances gets pissed away by bloated shitcode. I see it every day.

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

This vibes like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry is standing next to a fire complaining that his fingers are about to fall off, and Lloyd says “you should take these extra gloves. Mine are getting sweaty”.

This game currently consumes 30% of the hard drive on my main PC.

I’m impressed by the technical feat, but am also annoyed that they knew they were wasting this much space and simply did not care. I’m betting every 100GB game is like this.

Not for long. That’s about to get fixed with encrypted client hello.

He said that Nvidia only care about money these days.

I also only recognise Trey and Matt.

He’s thinking about the millions of lives he improved.

…and if you use DoH, they won’t even see DNS.

I would argue that you don’t need a VPN. It’s just another entity that can see your traffic, and there’s no reason to trust them over your ISP. They’re all for-profit companies.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

Absolutely. I write code all day and my brain is spinning at 32,000RPM at 5PM and come bedtime it’s only halfway to idle.

I would need to exercise, binge on sugar, or drink something at cask-strength. Sometimes all 3.
