Any #FreeBSD folk know why the rust compiler might give me

ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/../lib/librustc_driver-d829a4d8a572ebe4.so: Undefined symbol "_ZNSt3__122__libcpp_verbose_abortEPKcz"

I am worried the problem is my kernel is 13.2 but the rust package claims to be from 13.3? Is this a "just upgrade and stop worrying" situation

Listen, if your branching and commit message strategy takes more than 15 minutes to explain. And I need to work with every team and this is just yours.

I'm not gonna follow it.

Someone needs to write a sysadmin version of the Last Sea Shanty

A sysadmins not a sysadmin anymore

This is the *stupidest* use of LLMs - right?

The primary problems with video games are:
1) too well written
2) don't suffer from enough bloat
3) run too quickly

Luckily Google has fixed it in a way even worse than Stadia!

This Is Doom Running on a Diffusion Model

GameNGen is an interesting proof-of-concept for a diffusion model-based “game engine.”

Got to pull a coworker into a call and just explain logs to them

That's what they call a good day?

I really need to stop assuming that most developers have a mental model of DNS delegation in their head.

I need to accept that I'm the weirdo here.

I finally finished Siege of Dragonspear in my quest to get through all of Baldur's Gate.

I am shocked by how unpleasant it was to play through.

Only having BG1 to compare to - it's like night and day.

I am currently regularly dealing with Zscaler support and Drata support.

Drata support is awful because you need to get answers from an LLM before you can talk to it. But the LLM is worthless because it just puts out a segment from the knowledge base and you only contact support when things are broken.

Zscaler support is worthless because they're undertrained and given a flow chart to follow. The flow chart means they just parrot the knowledge base repeatedly.

Drata's support is better because there's only one human trapped in this hell.

My 3 year old kid has a 1 string guitar to learn to make sound, To protect his fingers I handed him a guitar pick. He yelled "Can I open it!" and started trying to find a seam to shove the pick in to spudge the guitar.

I am... raising children.

Zscaler seeing a user has an IP in 100.0.0.0/8 tells me that wont work because that's a Zscaler internal IP.

Of course, the user's ISP is misusing CGNAT and also claiming IANA reserved IPs are theirs.

Abolish legacy IP

A recent chat lead to the idea of the Standard Reference Olympian

Hey #Bhyve/#FreeBSD people!

I'm trying to manage USB passthrough into a guest, I can't find anything in the manpages. Is there something I'm missing?

Alone for lunch (yes it's 4pm) for the first time since the kids were born.

writing a complex regex to manage emails, since, ya know, I know how to have fun.

I get all my music as FLACs because I'm not unwise.

My car will only play mp3s (and oggs?!).

This battle was lost a long time ago. There is no going back to sane defaults. Data collection is now the primary goal of paid and free products. You don’t own anything, and you will be happy. Of course, you can still use privacy-enabled products at home, but those options are limited, and not all your apps will be available. https://bsky.app/profile/ahhmandah.bsky.social/post/3kzambh5yhk2z

've seen so many hearing aids on kids this week, often low profile, some very large, all taking wild abuse, like a child spraying his repeatedly with a water jet in a splash park

and - I feel so good about this - this is the core of accessibility - you didn't see a lot of deaf kids before because they were isolated! and now they're not!

Phillips Hue keeps threatening me they're going to shut down everything. I put their app on a side device that wont download things and I don't update it, and I put their bridge on a no-internet-access VLAN - but I'd like to just not deal with their shit.

Is there a bulb that doesn't deal with their shit?

Security is Threat Modelling

Security Advice or guidance without a threat model is not correct. Full stop.

the Humble Bundle copy of Gratuitous Space Battles I bought years ago is causing OpenAL issues every time it makes a sound and seems to have no mute option.

I need to figure out dummying the linker...

The company I work for is really great, but the CEO is toxic as hell

Just completely and impossibly.

We had an outage and he joined the technical call, and started throwing out ideas and forced the response team to *stop* discussing the issue and *instead* explain why he was wrong.

Last night I had a dream that I was (kinda accidentally) elected UK Prime Minister, and I was confused as hell because I was a tourist and didn't know any of the ritual.

And I think that it's telling about the UK that my brain can find no holes in the theory that this is plausible

Security vendor demanding I install servers in my network running out of date FreeBSD which can't be updated and RCEs in SSH

I really wish there was a compliance framework these types needed to follow

The problem with my current employer isn't the lack of technical sophistication, it's that everyone outside of the dev org thinks my skillset is fungible with every other person inside the dev org.

Despite me being hired explicitly outside the dev org's purview because it *isn't*

Honestly, the amount of time I spend flummoxing security vendors by saying things like "Oh, we're not using office 365" is very upsetting

It's not that I don't understand that 99% of their clients are using O365, it's how many products and support team fall apart
