Last Notes npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1v79β¦96a7 Very yes. Bazzite! https://bazzite.gg/ npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Connections Puzzle #424 π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Well, that's fun. #Git https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/922/669/654/869/367/original/2631ccb13ae1c815.png npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ The short of the #Crowdstrike thing from this report is they shipped a file with 20 lines in it that was supposed to have 21 lines causing a buffer overflow random memory read before crashing. They promise said buffer overflow read wasn't a security problem (they asked someone to "independently verify" but don't say who) and they added a line count check to their CI a little over a week after the incident. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1jeqβ¦jglm Heck yes. Can we bring these back? No AI. No smart notifications. Just you, a word processor, and two options when you're done: Print or save to USB. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Connections Puzzle #422 π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub18y5β¦02rn Yeah, I switched to Asus for my personal and Pixel for my work phone last year after a very long Samsung streak. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ My wife's #Samsung S23 has had all sorts of weird problems, like burning through all of her data and keeps roaming even when roaming is turned off while we very much haven't left the country. My #Asus phone on the same network hasn't had any of these issues. I might get a #Pixel for her next time. It's been similarly boring in the right places for me and has the smaller size that she prefers. #Android npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub10y0β¦0fdl That sentiment might be true for your own shop, but I'm talking more of an industry-wide trend at the moment. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd114lllyp6o npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ One thing #AI has done for #SysAdmins is that it's started to normalize more spend trends towards CapX (servers, switches, etc) over OpX (AWS, Azure, software subscriptions, etc) so server environments are finally getting refreshed in places that have been overdue for them. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ And yes there's been a lot of progress made by a lot of different people and entities, which I greatly appreciate and I'm proud to have contributed a few tiny droplets to the vast sea of contribution over the years, but there's still so much work that can be done. Write an operator, author a helm chart, update some docs, submit a bug report for your distribution. There are so many ways we can pitch in to make this better. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ #CrowdStrike hosting their stuff on Wordpress reminds me of that LifeLock identity protection service guy who posted his SSN in public ads. https://www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Channel-File-291-Incident-Root-Cause-Analysis-08.06.2024.pdf #InfoSec npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1kczβ¦w2q5 I don't love that step down. They're using Jowo like pretty much everyone else at this point. That means you should be able to swap in Noodlers nibs if you want something less stock (or any other #6). npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ There are two kinds of bikers Those who have a fancy carbon frame ebike that they spent thousands of dollars on within the last five years. Those who bought like a 1980s-1990s Trek used for $42 a decade ago and are still riding it everywhere. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified Blow for blow never settles the score Word for word its time to be clarified We the people did not want war -Flobots, Stand Up npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ #Google News offering the question "What is a #kamala" in the news section on Kamala Harris' VP considerations. π€¨ https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/912/588/925/429/071/original/f65c49fd72ed40f0.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ The state of most programmatic LLM stuff right now is a bunch of half baked and expensive abstractions. Reminds me of ten years ago when there were a bunch of javascript frameworks that popped up with greatly varying quality that moved a bunch of processing into the View. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub12lcβ¦e4yu A lot of talk *about* policies on that page, but the site is definitely a link salad. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub12lcβ¦e4yu IBM for Granite (ie, WatsonX). https://www.ibm.com/impact/ai-ethics npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Say what you want about using #Markdown for docs but at least you don't have to track down some NullPointerException while trying to save your changes in some fancy WYSIWYG with it and then get all sorts of weird formatting errors when you try to refresh and paste your changes from clipboard. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Overwhelmed webdevs be like: I need some  , so let's %20 each other with a little more padding. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ My #ADHD self definitely just started the office coffee maker and walked away and came back to a mess because I didn't put the carafe in π€¦. Hash tag #Monday. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1pznβ¦y2as If you want an adventure that you'll certainly remember, try chopping up some fresh habaneros right before and then a quick handwash to really lock in that false confidence. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Ever put in contacts right after brushing your teeth and now your eyes are minty fresh? npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Me, trying to make small talk with a couple from Indiana: "I remember that big blizzard in 2003 and I had to get a ride down to Muncie in it due to separating my shoulder." Them: "We were born in that year." npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ As an update. Today, I fixed up and adjusted the brakes and the front derailleur. The shifters on this thing are toast, which is just as well since the shifter cables are so rusty. I ordered replacement shifters which should get here in a few days, then hopefully just a matter of changing those out and then double checking cable tensions and a quick chain clean/lube, and it should be good to go. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub12v0β¦lfd7 Over here, it's US Standard instead of imperial, but I think inches are the same in either system. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1rq8β¦wmnl I've been leaning more to conda forge lately as cran has been less reliable in recent months. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Bike maintenance day! Got the chain cleaned and lubed and adjusted the rear derailleur. Bike is much quieter, tighter, and happier. #biking #bike #Trek https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/900/694/778/665/940/original/a10ed41f31e42b5f.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ In Indiana, motorcyclists can ride without a helmet but lane sharing is illegal. In California, you can lane share even in the carpool lane, but helmets are mandatory. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Sharing this trivia without any point or agenda: Roe vs Wade happened when a Republican was president and was overturned when a Democrat was president. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Today, I deployed #OpenGist, an open source project that's similar to #GitHub and with a UI similar to #Forgejo and #Gitea, and easily setup authentication through Forgejo. Very cool project! https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist #git #programming npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Wreck It Ralph's career at CrowdStrike was short-lived when he did this and broke the internet. #CrowdStrike #WreckItRalph https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/893/794/744/342/266/original/e4d8d607715b6f4c.mp4 npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I decided to stop letting the excuse of not wanting a gym membership to get in my way and decided to pay myself what I would be paying a gym when I work out so I can take that money and save it towards a Blackstar guitar amp or something like that. Having an external carrot of some kind is essential for pushing past the initial ADHD hyperfocus cycle of a novelty. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Thank you Simone Biles to the inspiration you've been to my daughter, who also has ADHD and made it into a USA Gymnastics team. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Regardless of anyone else's position, my position is that we should not be eager to put "boots on the ground" nor drones in the air and would do much better to focus on fixing our very real domestic problems. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ One unknown to me is how hawkish Kamala Harris might be. One thing Trump and Biden have in common is that they're both less interventionist (to be polite) than Obama and Bush (and Hillary) were. That's one trend I would like to not be reversed. (I'm not curious about Kamala vs Trump, but genuinely curious about Kamala's own positions.) npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1pwxβ¦xk5j I tried to come up with one about a pita in response but that pun fell flat. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1pznβ¦y2as That's true - he could call their bluff and order the letters sent out and the records destroyed. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub12nwβ¦kgrk It's something you know and something you have, not something you know and *something else* your have. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Because I can't go to Disneyland as often and easily as I would like to, sometimes I just pick up some potentiometers. #StarWars npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ FYI - You can 2FA auth from #Duo on your #Linux desktop through #KDEConnect on your phone through the sync'd interactive notifications. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I mean, it's true - Before AI, insurance companies were still bulk denying claims on dubious grounds that were hard to remedy. Instead of fixing problems like these, they've found ways to perpetuate them while paying even less to workers that aren't in upper management. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ This evening I fixed something that had been annoying me about the #facerecognition app UI in #Nextcloud with a bit of #javascript. A race condition where slower queries would overwrite newer queries for an autocomplete drop-down, a condition more likely to happen the more names and images you have in your instance. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub189nβ¦7mgz I'm familiar with that for Nintendo over the past year, but I'm not aware of Atari (in its current form) doing similar take downs? npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ New #Atari branded and licensed handheld that ships with 50 games and has support for (separately sold) #Evercade cartridges. Made by "HyperMegaTech". https://atari.com/products/super-pocket-atari-edition #gaming #retrogaming npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I love that #Fedora #Linux is considering shifting to @npub10wkβ¦366x. As someone who has maintained Forgejo (and Gitea) for many years in a variety of environments, I am strongly in favor of this. #forgejo #git #opensource npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ If you're a #Fedora #Linux user and have opinions about #AI in any direction, please share them! Today is the last day for the AI/ML Fedora community user survey! https://fedoraproject.limequery.com/142117 npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub10m0β¦3we5 Maybe. Meanwhile, I have a $200 #DasKeyboard Professional 6 that I've already had to RMA once and I can't get firmware updates on even though it "supports #Linux". npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Hopeful expectation: They're going to make a high quality mouse. Reality: They're trying to add AI and monetize a mouse. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ New #Logitech CEO pitches a "forever mouse" with built in AI features and a paid subscription service... for a mouse. The Verge: Logitechβs new CEO wants to sell you a computer mouse you keep forever https://www.theverge.com/24206847/logitech-ceo-hanneke-faber-mouse-keyboard-gaming-decoder-podcast-interview npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Does #SouthwestAirlines even want customers anymore? Maybe they think they can survive solely on the fights of its major stock investors? npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I'm not surprised. They completely killed the #Twitch experience with all the intrusive ads. Article: Twitch Is Reportedly at Risk of Becoming a 'Zombie Brand' at Amazon as It Still Struggles for Profitability Twitch Is Reportedly at Risk of Becoming a 'Zombie Brand' at Amazon as It Still Struggles for Profitability https://flip.it/ZgDxxh npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Looking for recommendation for a #Linux friendly bulk photo scanner. I mean, from those old 5x7" and 4x6" pictures that were developed from film. I know there are services that exist, but it seems like something that should be possible to do at home. Bonus if it's checked luggage plane portable. Not looking for a printer, etc. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ After the conference I went to last week, I tested and, unlike others that attended, I thankfully did not test positive for covid, but did test positive for flu. I felt fine all day Saturday but the last two days, I've been living on pepto bismol, tylenol, and rice. π₯΄ Be careful out there. Lots of bad bugs going around! npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ #COBOL was the original way to trick a computer to do something with business language prompt engineering. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1yu9β¦zv0s I assume to maybe differentiate from Strat pickups or because they take up a similar amount of space to a PAF? Just a guess, but they are indeed true single coils. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1ee8β¦x54n https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/860/394/251/086/834/original/9eb436765674c5ba.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Commentary on the #Olympics: "This team wanted to prove that you don't need to move to So Cal to be great." I can verify that So Cal is indeed great, but I'm sure them staying in Louisiana helped them focus more on practicing than on figuring out how to pay rent. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ You've got to be kidding. Windows Servers are having outages due to an update.

Family boarding on Southwest was one of the best things for those flying with young children so you can make sure you can sit together. RIP. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Just got a letter from #DeptEd that says (despite news reports to the contrary) that the new administrative forbearance for #studentloans will count towards PSLF and IDR forgiveness credits. That's at least a sliver of good news in the midst of a lot of bad news. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I grew up in southern Indiana (the same county where Mike Pence is from) with grandparents and other family from (legally Appalachian) Kentucky, and I eventually moved to California, working in tech. While I might share a good number of background points in common with JD Vance, he does not speak for me and my lived experience. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ The tech world had gone from pitching "treat machines like cattle, not pets" to "our chat bots are a better girlfriend than having an actual girlfriend". npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ πππ Asking AI To Make A Hit Country Song About Dr Pepper https://youtube.com/shorts/UQ__MyvyJeY #music #AI #DrPepper npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I've... never seen the point of Reddit.

It's never just never appealed to me. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ TIL that in #bash `|&` is equivalent to the `2>&1 |` that I would normally type out.

I might share a few pics here and there, but don't expect much Linux shenanigans out of me for a couple of weeks. I haven't turned on a computer in a week and a half now because I've been doing stuff outdoors and enjoying summer - and it's glorious. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Which one are you picking? https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/680/049/152/053/648/original/7df349c579c62c6f.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ "Suffering from AI fatigue" is something I've started seeing show up in tech articles. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1hmuβ¦r7ae I found this setting a month or two ago and was similarly happy to find it npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1yc8β¦507h If you're talking about workstations instead of build CI servers, which is what my OP was about, then Snapdragon X is probably what you want. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1sp6β¦4vxh I also made an #elinks container image. https://quay.io/repository/vwbusguy/elinks npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1sp6β¦4vxh I often switch to reader mode in Firefox when there's too much going on in a page. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Poison by #AliceCooper is one of those songs that has no right to be so musically interesting. Just look at this chord progression. #classicrock #music #musictheory https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/655/191/407/672/849/original/519890b8b1db1250.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ It's 3:40am, but we're finally here and the kids are mostly asleep. π« npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ 1 layover. 2 adults. 4 kids. 5 hours of flight time. https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/633/756/717/965/185/original/a3f606ccb02346a7.mp4 npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Biden better be careful about not hitting the "convicted felon" line too hard. There are a lot of convicted felons who have worked very hard to turn their life around who deserve respect and dignity and serious consideration for meaningful employment. (This is by no means a defense of Trump.) npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Taking a beagle to the vet is always interesting... for her. She has to sniff every single inch of the waiting room. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Update from coworker. He's enjoying #toolbox in #Fedora #Silverblue so far! https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/112/633/069/775/116/346/original/7072ca5784995b1c.jpg npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1l07β¦7j0f Multiarch artifacts is indeed a huge win. Also better if you can not just build but CI test on native architecture. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Ubiquitous #ARM infrastructure is an inevitable reality within the next 5 years. Not a bad idea to start investing in it now, if only just for your build/CI systems. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1lz0β¦eynx Yes, but Fedora also supports Silicon Macs via Fedora Asahi. https://asahilinux.org/fedora/ npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I want a Blackstar tube amp. #guitar npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1tzaβ¦sqgz I work in IT. There's no one to tell me I can't and it would be a significant hindrance to my work if I couldn't. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Three weeks of PTO kicks off now! npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ It's been zero days since I've talked a coworker into installing #Fedora #Linux on their work machine. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I definitely won the lottery on this one: I have terrible vision and wear -7 prescription contacts. Despite multiple doctors telling us to expect it, none of my four kids have needed glasses. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1uhfβ¦k4wm Let's give him Personal Pearl and see how far he gets! npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I've biked 40 miles so far over the last week and a half via various local commutes. It's been some wonderful weather for it. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1udjβ¦thf7 Possibly if it's full VMs and you can setup the requisite network plumbing around them. It looks line bhyve is libvirt compatible, so that's a very good sign. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1ywyβ¦cksd And a white guy from a prominent, wealthy family no less. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ I'm "I like the Gin Blossoms" years old. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ We need a collective mass crowd fund to procure and donate Hammond B3's to small to medium sized churches. npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub19reβ¦r8k9 I did pick the zfs variant! npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ Well, that was easy - `pkg install qemu-guest-agent` and then add qemu_guest_agent_enable="YES" to rc.conf. Then I started it with `service qemu-guest-agent start` from there. Now, the #FreeBSD VM details like IP address, etc, show up in #Harvester. Nice! npub1hmhz33j9p66ayxlegfuarul5refyepatlp3e8q6mghn2r6vrjrns0msatr Scott Williams π§ @npub1pznβ¦y2as Yup, exactly this. I have no compelling practical reason to do it, and that makes it a good candidate to be something to play with again.
