the year is 1996. i am trying to figure out how to run Motif apps on NetBSD

the year is 2026. i am trying to figure out how to run Motif apps on NetBSD

#OH: If it’s 19” and nobody wants it - i probably want it

possibly the most involved picture in the series thus far, as it involved carving out a pumpkin, and then figuring out how to make use of said pumpkin post-shoot.

Jack is no longer with us, it has been turned into a delicious pie.

here’s the new floppy.cd-rom.net header image for Spooktober!

every time you use GenAI…

• “just for a small project”,
• “just to test it out”,
• “using local models, so it’s okay”,
• “because everyone else is doing it”,
• “because I had to, okay?”,

… every time, you’re normalizing this being used for more and more CRAP which is downright abusive. for every person who’s “aware of the risks”, there’s 1000 devs who are clicking the slot machine mindlessly, because they don’t know better, or they don’t care for better. for every person who “only does this in a limited fashion”, there are thousands who won’t mind using it for everything, making all of our collective software ecosystem worse as a result, not to mention poisoning the web, and making lives of all sysadmins globally ABSOLUTE HELL.

please, don’t.

have you ever wondered how it feels to have a stranger steal your car, use its various parts to make an imperfect replica, then look you in the eye and say “have you tried this one? it’s good”

too abstract? thanks to the power of capitalism and generative AI, you can now experience this feeling firsthand, by simply having someone steal and shoddily rewrite your whole codebase in C++ using fancy autocomplete!

save me, “A Book of Famous Old New Orleans Recipes Used in the South for More Than 200 Years”, a book so old that the title needs to be updated to “300 years”

through a creative use of books.google.com before:1940 i turned my problem from “i don’t want to search for food recipes online, I’ll just get genai slop!” to “this 1900 recipe book is authored by Ella Ervilla Kellogg, who was, as it turns out, a wive of THAT Kellog”

We are currently clean on OPSEC.

every time i see something made as inconvenient as possible in the name of “security” i picture the security researchers fucking cumming so hard at the thought of how much time they have wasted. it must make them SO FUCKING HARD, there’s no other fucking explanation

fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/opt/servfail-sync'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

	git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/servfail-sync

GOD I’M SO HAPPY I’M NO LONGER VULNERABLE TO GIT HOOK “PRIVILEGE ESCALATION”. I WISH MY LIFE TO BE AS INCONVENIENT AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE (read: “””””secure”””””)

can’t talk… i’m on the bus, to get some warez

we must separate the art from the artist. into the centrifuge you go

i’ve been using the latest blender nightly to edit my videos for a couple months now, and it’s almost disappointing how stable the nightly is

i helped prevent at least one regression already, but it doesn’t really crash and burn (ever since I moved to running it on glibc, it almost never crashes, only OOMs sometimes)

i was hoping for a janky mess and got something that’s better than 95% of SaaS garbage out there

new video, in which I explore what it means to “run with NetWare”, and find out some unexpected reasons to hate corporations

watch it here:

ARG authors which use ‘${thing}.exe’ as a project name need to step up their game. it would be much scarier if you’d name it .ELF instead

people complaining about usb-c variations could not fathom the pain of standing in front of a box filled to the brim with RS-232 cables, and realizing you’re missing the one specific flavor you’re currently looking for

same for SCSI, SAS

computer networking is one of the few fields which has equally compelling gameplay and lore

an astute reader may notice the electrical tape covering some ports on the switch. That’s a subtle reference to half of the ports not working and the switch being almost trashpicked

Only the finest™
