    They would seem less implausible if you spent some time in Baltimore. Fond memories of a guy dressed as a hedgehog threatening to blow up a TV station until the police shot him wit…

    DOE clusters are also massive arrays of customer grade hardware. Private cloud can only keep up in low precision work, and that is why they're still playing with remote memory acce…

    I was told on the MTA-STS working group list that well-known URIs were chosen because the working group did not think email server administrators were smart enough to use DNSSEC. I…

    I've been doing "real work" on the much slower IMX8 module since the Reform came out. I did an entire Masters degree on this laptop in addition to work. Anyway, the RK3588 module w…

    I have daily driven this laptop since it came out. It's fine that you are not the target market, but there are enough people who don't care about all the points you made and have o…

    The computers seem to still be in the building, and many of them are online. 'ssh cdc6500@tty.livingcomputers.org' seems to have trouble connecting to this particular machine right…

    It doesn't. Cars which are easy theft targets have an actual impact on police availability, because they have to investigate this shit alongside problems that people didn't create …
