Stop taking drugs, get out and enjoy life. It’s really pretty simple. Most of society works that way.
Re:Gentoo Linux 2025 Review on Sunday January 11, 2026 @08:21AM (#46575522)
From the announcement it’s a lot of unnecessary philosophical moves and less innovation moves. I like innovative Linux, but that’s just my opinion.

Nuclear drones!

When you think about it, lots of Linux and Unix devices.

Oracle? Is that you?

Great news!

Ai spyware.

You can eat what you want, I’m eating real food. Good luck!

Portland is the best! Now if they can ban gas cars that would be great!
Don’t copy that floppy!
Re:Can I start using Wayland in 2026? on Sunday January 04, 2026 @08:25AM (#46487719)
I’ve been using Wayland exclusively for about 2 years. It’s great. And when it’s not it gets fixed. X11 isn’t a project anymore, it’s a nightmare of empty meetings and discussions, no coders.
Re:Venezuela's capital hit by explosions, smoke seen on Saturday January 03, 2026 @09:36AM (#46477155)
Yay more political posts on the techie news site. Closing the tab for the weekend this time.
You always want to boot from simple. Zfs is great for additional volumes. Great work by the author.
Trees!
Gotta love Electrek and Fred Lambert, he’s managed to lose a crap-ton of money on Tesla stock. What a total loser. I always read his stuff and think the opposite, that’s the safe bet.

Love the Mac emulator, what do they use for that?
AI is great!
Re:LVM Thin Provisioning (2016) on Wednesday December 24, 2025 @02:28PM (#46378430)
Zfs thin is way better, adjusts on the fly and can handle things like dedupe and compression. Lots of good things in zfs because it’s the filesystem and the volume manager.
That’s fine but it’s only for the first bunch of cycles, after that it’s way worse than standard lion batteries.
Re:Laptop Isn't Ready for LLMs. That's About to Change on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @05:32PM (#46370260)
It’s trivial to ask an AI to answer that. Well, I guess we know it’s not an AI generated article!

Wow! Writing photoshop while a phd student at Michigan! Wish current students would do some code

I just plant trees. Have a ton of land in NY, just doing my part.
Re:NTP at NIST Boulder Has Lost Power on Sunday December 21, 2025 @08:47AM (#46344814)
So sad, we used to innovate and stay one step ahead of them. That’s how wealth is created.
Let’s see where they are in a few years.
Re:NTP at NIST Boulder Has Lost Power on Saturday December 20, 2025 @11:40AM (#46337401)
Apparently no engineers here anymore, all armchair politicians.
Re:NTP at NIST Boulder Has Lost Power on Saturday December 20, 2025 @08:59AM (#46336244)
I’d say everybody moving off NIST boulder NTP.
Re:NTP at NIST Boulder Has Lost Power on Saturday December 20, 2025 @08:58AM (#46336239)
Actually DOGE involvement at the highest level would have resulted in Tesla solar and Tesla powerwall battery backups.
Apparently it seems to be impossible with these files and the best AI right now to answer the simple question, will it rain in midtown Manhattan tomorrow?
Re:More than 100 rally against data centers at Michigan Capitol on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @09:52PM (#46297704)
Since the population is around 112k-114k people that would be around 111,900 people didn’t rally on the low end.
