Wow! An entire #HackerPublicRadio series on #AWK. I'm sure I've heard some of these already, but I'll see if I can add just the series to @AntennaPod and decrease even more my copious amounts of free time for listening 😉
And, of course, repeat my so-far unkept promise to contribute an episode or two. I hear @hpr is running low on episodes again.
@bobjonkman @ghostdancer @AntennaPod
I'm reliably informed that there will be an ebook to accompany the series.

Come into work after a week's vacation. Find a message from myself:
"Terraform is completely broken. redis subnets are b0rked in production"
I curse the person who setup our redis and immediately begin to ask the musical question "Can we make a change to our environment without destroying and replacing it"
Hey #zfs people
if I have a pool I want to view when I can't mount it - any way to view files? (Read only root so mountpoints can't create)

@Mike Gerdts That... is the right idea, if I can find a mount
I feel like this is probably freebsd inside baseball though
Setup a solar irrigation system off a new rain barrel so that my son can do some plant automation (watched a kids show about farm robots)
Started moving from a bank to a credit union (got accounts - just need to slowly fill them)
Made a tiramisu
Damn good birthday

Merry #BSDCan Go Home Day to all who celebrate
I masked aggressively enough to lack a hangover today, so there's that, but I still forced people to try to talk to me to fix documentation
(I'm sure all the #BSDCan people will know exactly who I said it to and approximately about what.)

Apparently I can't report someone who is using Mastodon, because I am not using Mastodon.
I can't even just go over to their mastodon page and report them.
Reporting logistics is hard - but there's gotta be a better way
If I go to your Friendica instance, I see my own login and stuff and can do basic interactions
I wish the software industry wasn't just such fucking *marks*.
It feels like we as a culture are just basically idiots with no attention span or no sense of history.
"This very good company amazon has hosting for us, I bet that's not trying to replicate the Cisco model where they sell you a billion courses and you get locked in forever fucking your career"
"I bet this Peter Thiel fellow is really good and this generation's AI hype is probably different than the last four. I do know that Palantir and Paypal are renowned for how friendly and usable they are"

How do you tell a sales person "you are unselling me - tell me a price and shut up"
They just - are managing to make me less excited as time goes on - because I know they are *saying* things wrong. I've *used* the product before.

Oh, that IS the worst.

That was one of the problems that occurred to me when I read about a Skyrim mod using ChatGPT.
One of the things that astonishes me about this imminent disaster is that people seem oblivious that the main virtue of computing is getting definite answers to specific questions; LLMs will make computers completely useless for their primary purpose.

Skyrim Mod Uses ChatGPT and Other AI Tools to Give NPCs a Memory and Endless Things to Say - IGN
A Skyrim modder named Art From The Machine has shown off a mod they're working on that uses ChatGPT and other AI tools to give NPCs a memory of your adventure, endless things for them to say, and a way to ask them questions with your voice.Adam Bankhurst (IGN)

It's not that we can't see it it's that some people just like bad things.
@Greg Stolze So I played Bring Me The Head Of The Comte De Sainte Germaine over the last 1.5 months (one session every other thursday).
And Cloisonné basically decided to smash her Subaru into Mother Apocolypse in order to protect Joy from her mother, and no one is sure what to do with these emotions.
This is your fault and I think we all love you for it! Thanks so much - that was really good (and for two players a very Feet First intro to UA)

My son will randomly decide he wants to make things. And basically has no conception that he can't make things and that's really exciting.
He also made a train out of playdough, and then made a little mini-motor like he'd seen in toys, and opened the playdough train, put the playdough motor in, and said it could go by itself.
Just so proud of how much I've let him understand making.

@Allan Haverholm We should always remember the Phaedrus Lesson
The past is always a perfect time - and the good part of it is often a quirk of memory, yeah

I suddenly pulled from my memory a conservative making a case for Conservative Freeganism and Dumpstering to me in uni
it ... was coherent and good - but looking back 17 years later - holy shit, I want that back
like this
Basically it boiled down to
1) Freegansim will allow you to feed people for cheap, and taxes are bad, so if you can feed people with social discards you don't need to raise taxes
2) Feeding yourself for free is an important part of Pulling Yourself Up By Your Bootstaps
And like - sure - the premises are bad - but the actual stuff is... fine?

I just saw someone talk about their mechanized X-card for the Cipher game Flesh Pit
They were like "you can spend an XP and the scene is over" and explicitly called this out as their version of the X-card

Both you and the baby aren't stupid (if you do this), theory of mind is literally empathy so if you misunderstand chatgpt as human-like, that's probably because empathy.
But if you make fun of babies I will cut you

@Resuna Man - I've not used qmail in a decade and never want to again
I've been OpenSMTPd enlightened but I bet I can get postfix to do something stupid more easily
About 5 years for me.

in reply to silverwizard • •Sean, we want to see more leadership from you! But you 100% cannot have admin access to our email.
You can control the MX record, have control over the users, have the ability to read everything, just not the Admin keyword. Meaning you have to bug the CEO whenever something changes, and boy will he get mad at you for bugging him.
