WSJ didn't get the memo. Most "promotions" aren't worth it. You get more responsibility with very little boost in compensation. You're better off switching companies.

Have to admit the Apple Silicon is a win. They get credit for that one, hands down. He asked about software though. Feel like it used to rule. Not any more.

I’m sure fewer hardware choices is a huge factor. I’m also not wholly convinced they do better software. There are some things that are better, but having been a True Believer in the past, and having left… I can tell you that from my own

That's what I was wondering, as well. Also, it's interesting to me that there's nothing on the site about the team. Domain Name: SAASPARTNER.TECH Creation Date: 2023-10-23T12:59:34.0Z

All of the smack talk about AWS rings true in my experience. The documentation is terrible and incomplete. That said… there's one MASSIVE reason I trust AWS over GCP. Google has a knack for killing products/services. Even when the

This is seriously terrible advice. GoDaddy is shady AF. There's a reason their reputation is so bad. Friends don't recommend GoDaddy for anything.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all. I recently had issues with an EC2 instance in AWS that I couldn’t auth to, with an Ed25519-based key. Turns out they didn’t even support it until ~2021. These instances were created before then. It took q

What makes you say Splunk is a dead player? Not arguing with you, it's genuine curiosity on my part.

Random tangential question given this is about llama, but how do you get llama.cpp or kobold (or whatever tool you use) to make use of multiple GPUs if you don't have NVlink in place? I got a bridge, but it was the wrong size. Thanks,

It's funny I get downvoted for things that'll outlast technology whims and fads. Learning how to communicate well, will serve you well no matter what industry you're in. Knowing how to sell will serve you well, and also sol

My experience with Red Hat is that they take the *BIG* customer relationships seriously. If you're a small shop, you may as well not exist. You can ask for price quotes, or product information, but as soon as they realize you're n

Another vote for ChatGPT. Google is ad-ridden and results are crappy (have been for a long time) reddit is good, but ehhhh… it can be a mixed bag.

Three questions. 1. How hard would it be to get 19 years worth of Gmail to Fastmail? 2. I have 4 different domains worth of mail all coming in to one mailbox? Would this be an insane cost on Fastmail? 3. For those of you who have already sw

I've only ever been a consumer of ChatGPT/Bard. Never set up any LLM stuff locally, but the idea is appealing to me. I have a ThinkStation P620 w/ThreadRipper Pro 3945WX (12c24t) with a GTX 1070 (and a second 1070 I could put

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. There’s no way they do something like this and it have no effect on the taxpayer. Nothing is free.

Come up with side project{s} that will make you some extra money and not wholly dependent on your day job. The less dependent on a single stream of income, the more resilient you will be.

Early on, I had zero compunction about piracy. It took going into business, and having a competitor insult me in a very public fashion, because I had used pirated Windows on a customer's machine - that he had previously dealt with. I

Have any of you switched from Digital Ocean to Hetzner? I've been with DO for years, but after some problems and lackluster/non-existent service recently, I'm considering moving off to another provider.

I paid a scalper's price to get the CM4 module I wanted. Now I'm trying to sell my old module. The market has certainly been brutal for Raspi stuff.
