@matt_ellery I use a GoPro, I just let it upload to their cloud service and then download in back down again. The cloud service itself is kind of a mess so it's not a strong recommendation, but it works well enough that I use it pretty much daily.

Perhaps it is because I have used Linux for quite a long time now, and it did not always work so well, but I still smile when I plug my laptop (Debian, Gnome, Wayland) into a Thunderbolt dock via USB-C shaped connector, and its display appears on multiple 4K monitors within a couple of seconds.

I unplug it, and it comes back to the laptop screen.

Screen rotation on my laptop works flawlessly.

Thank you - genuinely - to everyone who has worked on making this happen so seamlessly.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

This was my motivation:

Talk about being petty...

In France, we don't say "vibe-coded contribution" but "merde request" and I think it's beautiful 💩

#AISlop #ChIAsse #NoAISlop

I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious scammy stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commercial #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.

omw cycling to mastodon, need anything?

At last I've achieved the fabled "under certain complex microarchitectural conditions"

These AI code generators never cease to amaze me…

@mikey Dying "AI didn’t create slop. It merely revealed that most of the people who claimed to have a taste level were actually just good at moodboarding and copying Dieter Rams."

This IS the depressing thing about AI: learning how many people can't tell the difference between a blood orange and Tang

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

Because I have poor self control, I made a thing to avoid looking at those increasingly terrible ACM Digital Library pages. Introducing Analog Library: https://al.radbox.org

@jmorris yep, and looks like it's ~0.02 mm tighter than DIN/ANSI specs. So I'd bet these are JIS ;)

@jmorris looks like there's a JIS for hex head tools that defines 0.89mm as the tighter tolerance tool, so that's probably it. Given that it's probably also not Philips, but instead the JIS flavor.

Also your reminder that the Linux tech press almost never reaches out to maintainers to ask questions

Looks like #SUSE #Linux is up for sale. Again.

- 2003: Acquired by Novell
- 2010: Attachmate Group takeover
- 2014: Micro Focus merger
- 2018: Sold to EQT AB

(Ignoring all the asset sales and transfers)

@llvm OK, so it's just C11 being a trash spec? I was specifically looking back that far to try and see the older version, and it looks like stuff has been moving around in the newer specs

@llvm which one do I read? That where I got the C11 draft...
