Started messing around with it some time in 2003, on Mandrake Linux when I was 21 years old. Experimented and ran servers with various distros in the years since but it didn’t become my daily driver until about 2014-15, with Debian.

It was enough for yo mom ohhhhhhhh!

j/k

The world is going to be absolutely fucked when the older engineers and techies who built all this modern shit and/or maintain it and still understand it all retire or die off.

Gotta save that stock price somehow. Activate investor bullshit machine.

The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.

I remember some dude on the Internet with a jar and an MLP figurine that might be able to help you out.

Who asked for this? Did y’all ask for this? I don’t remember asking for this.

Looks around room in confusion

KDE since 2002. KDE 4 lyfe.

Jokes never translate well. Even between somewhat-related languages, like western European ones. Best to just not.

Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.

First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”

That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

Another big part is learning how to set it up in a way that it’s functional and productive the first time and then STOP FUCKING WITH IT.

Who has time these days to read stuff and research it before spamming that “buy” button? 😉

How do you keep birds from landing on it and shitting up the lens and blocking the laser?

It’s the law of outdoor infrastructure. If it’s outside, and it’s high up, it will get shat upon.

But video is so damn annoying. If you wanna copy-paste something from the video, you’re fucked unless you pause and type each character by hand. I don’t get it.

But then again I’m not a zoomer.

Cursor AI’s abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of “vibe coding”—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole’s “vibe code” controlling it.

have lost GPUs before, but not yet to mining.

I have. Power rails on GPU shorted due to failed MOSFET, blew the PSU as well as the card. The mini-explosion woke the whole family at 2am. I was also running it just under what was considered the high end of tolerable for the card, with a huge box fan attached to the side of the open case.
