My 2027 UNIX wishlist.
-NetBSD gets ZFS on root, and in the installer.
-NetBSD gets FreeBSD's jails, including VNET support.
<or>
-FreeBSD fully and finally declares a no AI policy.
As much as I like OpenBSD, neither of those things have ANY chance of making it into their source.
Also, has anyone forked a slop free tmux, yet?
I don't understand BMWs. How can you charge so much money for a car that doesn't have working turn signals?
nuintari's rules of networking 0x3d:
Test your cables.
1st Corollary:
A basic pair mapper is almost never a suffient test.
Okay! Tried some other solutions, they all sucked, but Gotify is awesome for pushing notifications to mobile devices! Took me all of four minutes to get it working in a #FreeBSD jail. I'll get it working for real tomorrow, behind haproxy and all that jazz.
Fuuuuucking shit.
We've got the windows open, fans blowing cool air in.
Of fucking course a skunk just went off nearby.
Sometimes, I question my decision to move to the countryside.
I want to make one thing abundantly clear.
I do not hate AI because I think it is gonna go all Skynet and kill all humans. The people who believe that shit are morons.
I hate AI because it makes its users stupid. I hate it because it is enabling a survalence state. I hate it because deepfakes and AI slop are filling the world with garbage and propoganda, and making the world a shittier place to live. I hate it because the mega AI datacenters are awful, resource hogging neighbors that no one should have to live near. I hate it because..... well, I hope you get it.
I'm not one of those doomsday cult members who thinks AI is an emerging intelligence secretly plotting to kill us all. Just wanted to make that abundantly clear.
B.I.T.C.H.
Breathe.
Identify the problem.
Tea break.
Consider your options.
Handle it.
I love it!
Okay, good enough. Only deleted and reposted this like four times.
I am fucking tired of AI. I am fucking tired of my in-laws trying to show me the things their son, "made," with AI. I am fucking tired of explaining why I won't take an AI centric job for any amount of money. I am fucking tired of people telling me how AI has helped them, "learn," new concepts. I am fucking tired of hearing people say, "I use it to make pictures with my grandchildren!"
I am so fucking tired of the blatant theft of every bit of intellectual property on the planet, whether it was bolted down or not. I am fucking tired of the wholesale distillation of human thought and achievement into a sludge of on-demand dopamine boosting energy drink.
I am so fucking tired of the datacenters. I am so fucking tired of hearing how it is going to solve global warming, while it continues to contribute to global fucking warming. I am fucking tired of the endless cycle of hype being the only profit center with regard to AI. I am fucking tired of watching farmland turn to concrete blocks that generate pollution and stupid.
I am so fucking tired of people telling me it is a useful tool. I am so tired of being reminded to check AI's work, because it often makes mistakes. I am fucking tired of hearing that AI is going to democratize things such as art, music, and software development. I am fucking tired of watching people I thought were intelligent succumb to the idiocy of AI tools.
I am so fucking tired of playing the, "Is it AI slop or not?" game every time I see, hear, or read something. I am fucking tired of random phone calls with AI agents on the other end. I am so fucking tired of being told it has beneficial uses. I am fucking tired of being told that these tools are here to stay. I am fucking tired of being told that I will be left behind.
And if you use AI tools, I am so completely and utterly fucking tired of you.
I'm giving up on #deltachat I've removed the link from my bio, use Signal to reach me.
It is just an absolute cesspool of AI apologists, and I have no time for that.
The argument seems to be, "It's all open source code, so why do you care that I'm using your code in my AI usage?"
Because you were never willing to pay the authors jack shit for our code, but you'll pay these massive AI vendors to take our code, and use it to autogenerate shit for you.
Fuck you people.
I really need to sit down one day and just migrate everything off Google Authenticator, I just once again played the, "Wait, which authenticator does this account use?" game.
nuintari's rules of networking 0x66:
Custom TLDs: Just say no.
1st Corollary:
You should probably avoid some "legitimate" TLDs as well.
It has happened folks.
"The Internet used to be so slooooooooow, back in my day we had A basic cable modem"
A 300 bps modem was all there was, and then a 2400 bps modem was an insanely fast modem. Then we got 9600, then 14,4, 28,8, 36,6, and eventually 56k.
56K.... in theory. We usually got closer to 40-45k. Anyone else remember those modem codes?
Then we got a fucking cable modem, 768k down, and best modulated phone up, usually 28.8, at best 33.6.
No, you fucking kids do not know slow.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
Suggestion for Fediverse trend: Everyone post their geek code.
Hey #FreeBSD fam, what is the current vogue for bhyve management that isn't Sylve?

nuintari's rules of networking 0x60:
When running fiber, run at least four times more strands than you think you will ever need. Then run more than that. Then run even more than that.
Then expect to run DWDM on top of that.
Wait, the orange nazi seriously asked Anthropic to ban access to their models for non US citizens?
I'm, I'm all for anything that reduces Anthropic's revenue potential. They aren't making money yet, so let's tell them they can't sell to ~96% of the planet!
