We're so excited for Project Hail Mary; we got our March 21st assigned recliner-seating tickets already. The book's ending gave me the feels.

So glad to see you have time for jokes, since you replaced your support email with horrible AI.

Better get a PR up to add CPUs to the naughty list!

That's the dumbest waste of time I've seen in forever. I predict the list gets so big they give up and delete the repo.

Tim Walz should be using his state police force to arrest every single ICE agent. Every single one.

Home server hostnames

Home server hostnames

I usually name my servers after space entities. I used to work at a place where the theme was The Wizard of Oz.

Are you sure you're not just experiencing the VM's write-back cache? Hypervisors use aggressive caching so the VM can report a copy as "finished" the moment the data hits the host's RAM.

Is it possible the VM is lying to you to keep its UI fluid?

Wrong? Nah. Paranoid beyond reason? Well...

Nothing is secure.

Probably best to just avoid software, and the Internet, and computers. Unplug, get a remote cabin in the woods, and be safe from all those package managers' transitive software dependency graphs.

I realize you've announced that you've given up and quit Rust, but just in case you ever decide to give up on your giving up:

AMD is using a "value-first" strategy to gain market share against a dominant competitor. Capitalism 101.

Feel free to petition the Rust creators. No one is stopping you from trying to help evolve the project.

The dependencies are listed in the Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock files. This is where the implied consent you are unaware of is located.

I can't wait to hear about it. I have an old i7 MBP that's soon to be something not-macOS.

It did not work for me a lot of the time. I eventually gave up.
