I’ve worked for a company that was barely using its /16. I know several individuals, including myself, with personal /24s.

How often does your IPv4 address actually change?
333.
by icedchai 6mo ago
Yes, but not good for the industry in general.

Yes. This is why senior+ engineers will be fine for a while. It's the future of the industry I'm worried about. We are the last generation that will know the world before GenAI.

In most jurisdictions, all three can be the same person.

Many experienced software engineers will move into infrastructure or architect roles, if they haven't already. Experienced engineers are in the best position to use LLMs because they can validate the output as actually being correct, n

Yes, we have more "thought leaders" than ever, all acting like copy-and-pasting from a textbox is some sort of unique skill.

The "dead Internet" theory has become more real. It's especially bad on LinkedIn. Everyone is now an "AI expert", posting generated slop and updating their profiles with AI enhanced head shots.

I am presently employed, but it has been difficult to find a new job. The market is worse than the dot-com crash, great financial crisis, or 2020.

Same. DynamoDB is almost never a good default choice unless you've thought very carefully about your current and future use cases. That's not to say it's always bad! At previous startups we did some amazing things with Dyna

My uncle had a business with an IBM minicomputer: a System/36. It was the size of a large freezer. It also used 8" floppies! It took a "magazine" of 10x 8" floppies and could swap between them. It looked like the s

No? You made it sound like the only way it could go that fast is because you used a proprietary AWS extension. The fact is the original code had to be grossly inefficient, probably doing something like individual inserts outside of a transa

If it took 40 minutes to insert a 60K line CSV with native postgres using bulk inserts there is something seriously wrong with the code.

I've had SSH, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, HTTPS and many other services open to the world since the 90's. I have fail2ban running. It is not that scary.

Did you ever experiment with Mach Ten ? I'm thinking of putting it on an old Mac.

There are uncensored / "abliterated" / heretic versions available on Huggingface.

I've built llama.cpp against both Vulkan and ROCm on a Strix Halo dev box. I agree Vulkan is good enough, at least for my hobbyist purposes. ROCm has improved but I would say not worth the administrative overhead.

I agree. But these are projects that barely get any requests.

I’ve seen multimillion dollar “enterprise” projects get no where close to that. Of course, they all run on scalable, cloud native infrastructure costing at least a few grand a month.

Are you talking about A/UX? That was one of the first Unix systems I was exposed to.

I agee, the keyboards are terrible. The last time I felt the MacBook Pro had a "good" keyboard was in 2007. It's been the flat chiclet-style "island" keys for a while now. I'd pay for more for a thicker MacBook

I once had a freelance gig to upgrade an environment that hadn't been touched in years. One server had a 1500 day uptime and I could find no evidence of any in-place upgrades. They made me watch a bunch of IT security / process v

How much of Hombre is myth-and-legend? Given how little progress with made with OCS->ECS->AGA, it seems unlikely they could even have built an Amiga SoC, nevermind designed a new 64-bit chipset.

Coherent was the first Unix-like OS I ran, on a 386SX box. I think it was Coherent 4.x.

A good percentage of cybersecurity has always been theater. If their model helps to separate the wheat from the chaff, maybe it'll be an improvement.
357.
by icedchai 6mo ago
Yeah, and it took ~7 years to make those marginal improvements over the earlier Amiga chipset! I'm ignoring ECS, since it barely added anything over OCS for the average user.
358.
by icedchai 6mo ago
Yep. 486DX/2 was when I started seriously looking at moving on from the Amiga. I wound up with a DX/4 100 sometime in 1994.

Same. I've been running it on a "pet" server since the mid 90's, for shell, web, email, etc. I started on FreeBSD 2.x and has been through many upgrades and migrations! I also worked at an early ISP and FreeBSD was our g

Not really reasonable. That would 1) Make routing inefficient because routers have parse an additional, non-adjacent, non-contiguous header to get the source and destination addresses. 2) Break compatibility because there would exist &quot
