Let's go back say 40 odd years. I'm from the UK. Back then "media" largely consisted of three, soon to be four channels on your analogue TV and a lot of newspapers and magazines. The media was largely passive except fo

"It is also worth mentioning that Proxmox uses ZFS" No it does not enforce ZFS or any other filesystem. That's up to you. ZFS or BTRFS are fine when indicated - and you need to know your stuff. Cephs for clustering (hyperco

No it isn't basic and common (it is for me but perhaps not for you and certainly not for most people) OK, so you want to virtualise a router and firewall. That's fine. I have deployed roughly 200 pfSense firewall/routers as

"Tteck is a legend." When the shit has really hit the fan personally and yet you still worry about other people: that is the mark of a decent person. Legend, indeed.

Why do RTEMS and eCOS trump, say, Linux? Linux on a RPi has also famously flown (really!) in space. It's all very well asserting something but a bit more chat would be nice. I'm not sure what "turn a Unix program into a bare

I love cats but they are fucking daft. It's time for us (you, actually) cat owners to rise up and reclaim (y)our world.

I have been allowed to consider myself a colleague (at best, ordinarily: an associate) by many cats - you do not get to be an owner of a cat: that's an affectation! I have also loved and been loved by many dogs too. I am not a dog OR

One of my g-g-g-g-grandads was called Joz Gerder. His boy was originally called Johann Henrich Gerder. I am obviously an immigrant! Joz rocked up to the UK from Germany and married someone - records unavailable for birth and death dates, l

"If I sold absolutely everything I owned" Quite. I get the point but why not volunteer (to do something) and really show your grit? Pissing around with M primes and trying to make a point is a bit wank as a stance from a multi-zi

"As ye sow, so ye shall reap"! errm, soz for the Biblical ref. If everyone is spewing (sorry ... sharing) pics on TikTok, X and co then you won't stand out from the crowd. Unless those pics involve something too controversi

NW 3.12 was the final version I think. I recall patching a couple for W2K. NetWare would crash a lot (abend) until you'd fixed all the issues and then it would run forever, unless it didn't. I once had a bloke writing a patch fo

I configured timesync (using NTP) for the GWR office networks many years ago. Some years later I used theirs to act as a stable source for Scotrail's office network too. As I'm sure we all know here: The four horsemen of the IT

Superb! I expect whoever coated the remains with that red cinnabar stuff died rather early, probably with tooth and hair loss and severe mental issues. Perhaps this fate was expected but given that "mad hatters" were a thing unti
