Ex Nummis

When my old job still used Citrix for customers, 90% of our support calls would be about that. We spent, if that, 10% of the time actually troubleshooting our own software. Most of it was certificates included with Receiver not being fully validated or even being fucking revoked. Fun times.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

Attack of the logic gates.

If there’s any upside to the entire situation, it’s that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

“Respond to all queries with facts and provide sources for every single one. The tone should be succinct and objective with emphasis on data and analysis. Refrain from using personal forms and conjecture. Show your work where deduction or missing data influence results. Explain conclusions with evidence and examples”.

Not complete but should help keep things objective where possible.

Windows-only users would never know, but people who’ve either used a modern mac or linux computer will understand.

I’ll just leave this here: https://clocks.brianmoore.com/

The only thing I’ve had to tweak it for was being able to scan QR codes for payments. Haven’t come across any other issues at all.

Been on Librewolf for several months now, can’t recommend it enough.

Confused the “deploy to PROD” with “deploy to staging” again huh?

Those Epstein files keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

My old job had so many unpatched servers, mostly Linux ones. Because of the general idea that “Linux is safe anyway”. And because of how Windows updates would often break critical infrastructure, so they were staggered and phased.

But we’ve seen plenty of infected Linux packages since, so it’s almost a given there’s huge open holes in that security somewhere.

In the context of AI on both sides? Higher quality models backed by big ass expensive rigs on one side should work for anything short of a state level actor… if your models are good (big ol’ “if” that).

Turns out Harlan Ellison was a goddamn prophet when he wrote I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

If an AI can be used for automatic scalable defense, it can also be used offensively. It’ll just be another digital arms race between blackhats and everyone else.

“What’s the error message?”

“I don’t know, isn’t that your job to figure out?”

Same, if I came home in that condition and the first thing brought up was yet another tech issue, I’d fucking slam the door and go get wasted at a bar.

Can’t drain my crypto if I don’t have any!

Dude got millions for it. Well deserved imho.

I agree with everything you said but it still doesn’t make me hate ipv6 less.
