Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn’t have to be exact, but code does.

No one was able to replicate the level of health complications from the movie. Apparently he was a raging alcoholic.

Alcohol kills. McDonalds is just sorta bad.

Well this seems reasoned and reasonable.

Go post to your home instance where this propaganda is welcomed.

Perfect!

If you work in some place with a bunch of network disks, this is safe and fast. core.untrackedCache=true

If you are on a local disk, this is faster/better. core.fsmonitor=true

I only saw Oxide and Friends when I was posting above, so I will certainly check it out.

Not top 3, just my top (now ended) podcast of all time.

On the Metal https://oxide.computer/podcasts/on-the-metal The description: As a part of starting Oxide Computer Company, Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle decided to also create the podcast that they always wanted. Joined frequently by their boss, Steve Tuck, Bryan and Jess interview incredible guests retelling stories of adventure at the hardware/software interface. It’s unapologetically technical and as Jess says, “the nerdiest podcast on the face of the planet” – but if you’re their kind of nerd, you’ll find yourself hanging on every word!

I’m not sure why you are getting downvoted. I’m optimistic for the same reasons and I think you are right about rapid growth being dangerous.

Linux was slow growth, not to mention GNU, but it is so good, and attracted the right kind of contribuitors.

Running these services has a cost and surely over the time it takes to grow, solutions will emerge. It is best to recognize those challenges and address them.

Well I hope so. Occasionally our nerd stuff leaks out into the world and does some real good. Maybe advertising is only needed to keep shareholders never-ending drive for profits. Wikipedia seems to do ok. I really do hope I’m wrong, but I think you are just being too optimistic, maybe it is because I’m old.

People donate time, and some people host servers and pay bills because they can. I don’t think the whole point of federation is amortizing the costs across instances, but it is a perk. Most people want to know what to join, which is why lemmy.world got so big, so fast. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll bet their donations do not match their costs.

Mastodon is totally cool, I’m on board, but normies don’t know what it is.

I’m just being realiatic here.

I’m an OSS guy, but running these services is not free. Someone is paying for bandwidth, power, hardware, etc.

We are not shipping your machine, @funkajunk!

The one constant in all of your failed relationships is you.

I didn’t see it mentioned on the page. but two super helpful things (in different situations).

Master-mode/multiplexing: https://oooops.dev/2021/01/31/ssh-multiplexing-and-master-mode/

Mosh for ssh over UDP for lossy/up-down connections: https://mosh.org/

Mosh is a lifesaver for laptops and keeping shells alive.

The D is a godsend, lol.

Yeah, I check in often, and the lines of communication are open. Helps to have no lying (in general), but especailly to my kids (which unfortunately needs to be said because so many people feel like it is ok).

I’m disappointed this conversation went this way. I’m way over on the “lecturing my kids” side of life. A discussion of what this meme means to those “being lectured” could provide insight to others.

I’m already going to check my lecture-meter to make sure I’m not boring my kids to death.

As a hardened atheist, I have to give it to the christians when they get something right, and forgiveness can be a powerful force for good.

Don’t forget, but do forgive.
