There is no such thing as "ethically using AI". AI is trained on stolen data. AI is destroying the environment and communities. AI is making us stupid. Use AI if you want, just don't pretend you're doing it in ethical way.

@georgetakei Aren't you glad you don't need to wear those pants anymore? :)

(Me watching TOS again. Thank you for your service!)

Ok I feel dumb. How in the nine h*lls do I set a default #Python version on #NetBSD ? I don't mean in pkgsrc, I mean the actual "python" or "python3" executable, and those installed by the various py313-whatever packages.

And don't tell me to build from pkgsrc because this machine will need a week to do so. :D

TFW you just want to check your #bind config and end up having it rotate your #DNSSEC keys without warning. 8 hours later, several public resolvers still cache the bad responses. sigh

Ask not what getRandom() can do 4 u, but what u can do 4 <insert CA here>

Poll, please boost for reach, I’m genuinely interested.

Do you use IRC?

sigh ... ironic use of AI still sucks. Doubly so if you're trying to make a statement. Cringe worthy release art when it could've been almost anything else ... really, scribble a spiky circle on a napkin and take a photo of it.

Anyway, that's all I'll say about it. Go enjoy some fish linux v8.0. Cool people made cool stuff despite the usual tone deaf tech culture.

#Printers are truly among God's most evil creations. My dad's HP MFP just stopped accepting print jobs today. After a bit of digging, it turns out it has a TLS certificate which is needed for AirPrint and any other protocol using TLS.

It expired this week.

I'm fairly sure most people would toss the printer out and buy a new one. But if you hit the management interface in a browser (which is unauthenticated and plaintext by default, btw), you can have the printer generate a new self-signed certificate - after which it (AirPrint, at least) works again.

What in all the levels of hell is the point of enforcing the expiry dates of that cert when it's a bloody self-signed cert? His MacOS needed absolutely no coercing in order to accept the new one - that was just blindly accepted.

I mean .. what the actual fuck.

Job Title: Storage Engineer Zfs

Location: Remote

Duration: Contract

JOB DESCRIPTION

Design , Scale & Configuration : Architect, deploy, and manage enterprise-grade ZFS storage clusters (OpenZFS / TrueNAS Enterprise / custom FreeBSD/Linux deployments) to support demanding production workloads.

Storage Optimization: Configure, tune, and maintain storage pools (zpools), vdev layouts, datasets, ZIL/SLOG, and L2ARC to optimize for high-IOPS and bandwidth requirements.

Capacity Planning: Monitor storage utilization, growth trends, and lifecycle management to proactively scale compute and capacity ahead of business demand.

Performance Tuning: Conduct deep performance analysis and benchmarking; troubleshoot complex I/O bottlenecks across ZFS, kernel, network, and hardware layers.

Data Integrity & Protection: Implement robust backup, disaster recovery, and data retention strategies using native ZFS replication, snapshot schedules, send/receive pipelines, and scrub routines.

High Availability: Design and maintain multi-controller HA storage configurations and multipath I/O (MPIO) architectures.

Data Recovery: Experience with ZFS pool recovery techniques, repairing degraded arrays, and managing hardware failures without data loss.

Storage Protocols: Expertise in enterprise protocols including NFS, SMB/CIFS, iSCSI, and NVMe-oF.
Hardware & Interconnects: Extensive experience with storage server hardware, SAS/SATA/NVMe topologies, HBAs, JBODs, and high-speed networking (10GbE–100GbE, InfiniBand, RDMA).

Core Expertise - Deep, hands-on expertise with ZFS / OpenZFS in production environments. Expert understanding of ZFS internals (vdev topologies, ARC management, ZIL/SLOG selection, dataset properties, record sizes, compression, deduplication, and snapshot lifecycle)

Experience level - 8+ Hands-on experience in enterprise storage engineering and systems administration with core expertise in ZFs

I feel this is probably quite important information. You wouldn't want to get it wrong.

If you use an llm to generate a demo, or to convert a game or the outer appearance of an OS from one retro system to another, or to the browser, really all you're showing me is that you spent a lot of time writing prompts and that you gave a substantial amount of money to some really evil companies. It's nothing special, it's not worth reading about, it isn't something creative and it's not a hobby. And it'll probably make me ignore all your future projects.

that’s why #NASA hired teams of #embroidery #knitting #beading #fiberArts experts who all so happened to be not just women but mostly Native American, African American and Latinas. they were nicknamed the Little Old Ladies and without them there would be no Apollo program.

they won't even teach you in school that the LOLs were preceded by women who ―if they wanted a chance to enter college, a privilege only for men― they did so by being computers (mathematicians) for “real” scientists.
