I've been revisiting FreeBSD and I find it exciting. It's gonna be a learning experience for me.

I worried if the upcoming KC were to be consumed by anything AI (especially since I've heard about popular speakers being rejected), but the schedule still seem to cover many topics. I'll be missing you at KC - I hope for a speedy recovery after the surgery so you'll be back on track soon! 🏃♀️🚴♀️
Happy birthday!
#4 is especially helpful. Reminds of trying to pass through a random AI quarterback (chatbot) during an attempt to get hold of a living customer support agent.
I'm well aware of that, but I don't want to accept things will be way worse. One of the positive(?) outcomes is that companies may have to start selling updates (might even refactor existing codebase for performance) for their existing hardware when they can't sell new.
I've been looking at the Dasung for ~5 years... but I've waited for a proper retailer.. now when RAM and storage skyrocket anyway perhaps it's about time to pull the trigger anyway?
Some of the very best talks (and I'm certain that the atmosphere is better there) seem to happen at Cloud Native Rejekts so I really hope to make it there!
Here we go again...
Or just API anything. I remember when BeautifulSoup was the best tool at hand to make an "API" call.

And meanwhile, the bio "hackers" line up to buy implants connected to 7G running a subscription based LLM in an attempt to outsource the thinking.
Amazing. I'll have to learn handling this before I make it to the next step.
And there appears to be a bit shady side of the story as well. cacm.acm.org/news/the-inv...
And the screenshot for OpenBSD <3
Next time I hope the release screenshot is Plan 9
Still, a bit of luxury these days that old hardware still get improvements.
I believe this is my fourth(!!) time I ticked "Not interested" (in my logged in profile), and still... are they really that desperate?
"Benchmarks from early testers show that some older AMD GPUs can achieve 30% to 40% performance gains on certain workloads compared with previous kernels."
Neat. Let's hope that spills over to the Ryzen 7000 series iGPU as well (such as my laptop).
Here in Sweden (and in Finland), they DC companies manage to negotiate almost free electricity with the promise of "tens of thousands new work opportunities"..
The result is that everyone else pays with increasing electricity bills (and industrial parks with wind turbines)...
Now, that's some money to invest in RAM and flash disks!
Congrats! I saw your walk and talk, and that is fantastic news for all of us that Oxide intend to remain as its own for a foreseeable future
Just about every deployment gets exciting.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Some years ago I sketched on how I would automatically join bare metal nodes to my k8s cluster with PXE and auto issued certificates. Today I wanted to add a node and I just had to update versions and it went well.

On this week's Oxide and Friends, @booch.com joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to talk about the past, present, and future of software engineering. From hand-made computers and the software crisis of the late '60s to LLMs (of course) we covered a lot... with--as always--many dated references!
This was such an ear candy episode! Each of your episode is so educative, but there's so much to learn from these historical ones (I've revisited many of the episodes of the On the Metal, and this had the same aura). Btw, this was really a 1.0x episode, not to rush through the Friday evening here.
I hope it is bound to happen if the "Gas Town" gains traction, otherwise lots of money ending up at one actor.
So here I am, waiting for the next step of the (r)evolution, with nano services where each binary us dissected one step further (with a new layer of abstraction, and possibly even mTLS between the system calls).
I believe that one of the issues to make the movement happen is trust, or lack thereof.
Companies come and go, but "foundations" may be the longterm commitments that can build up trust.
I don't know about "Open Home Foundation", but at least they democratizes home solutions to the general mass.
at least they were tasty and good inside
My first baguettes.. I know, it is an insult to the French people. Next time will be better, I hope. One mistake I noted was uneven tension in the loafs.
so apparently it's not just RAM that got horribly expensive...
September 2021, I bought a the 1.92T Samsung PM9A3 for 4.363 SEK ($480 USD)... a price I thought were extremely expensive back then. Current price: 13.500 SEK ($1500 USD) and it's not just this fairly old model - all flash gone pricy
