Re:Decade-old RAM is making a comeback on Sunday October 11, 2026 @07:27AM (#50042037)
Typing this from an Asus X99 WS 3.1 with a E5-2696v4 . I got 256GB of RAM, sees only 128GB but I am sure with some overvoltage and lowering the ram speed it could see all 256GB.

if anybody got a tip, i'd be more than glad to listen, please.

Not everyone lives in SanFra, my man, and can afford to throw a salary on a lab.
i'm sorry, I cannot agree that anything like that can create "originality".
> The "locals don't want to do those jobs" comptemptuous rethoric of the left has always been false, locals don't want to clean the sewers for the minimal wage, but will do it for a proper salary.

apologies, but those of us in the Left agree more with the second part of your sentence than the Left. Are you mixing Leftists and Liberals, perchance?

Re:SSH Secret Menu on Thursday March 12, 2026 @12:47PM (#47353658)
Interesting. I might have such a use case. Do you have anything about best practices on how to automate grabbing passwords from vaults? Cuz it seems to me that the vault needs to be kept open or keep the vault password somewhere on disk.

Honest question, why is ProxyCommand `fun`? What do I get out of ProxyCommand that i do not get out of setting the correct order for ProxyJump and doing an ssh finalhost -- domy --bidding?

This is an illusion. You literally describe Zizek's "Desert of the real": Billionaires own the illusion and you are telling me I get to pick from a selection of choices carefully curated and presented to me.

Totally agree. And the fact that the author says

do no not make me feel all warm and fuzzy: Yeah, changing the world with Tiel's money. Try joining a union instead.

How about you nationalize your healthcare, so people like that are not depended on their work to get the care they need?
Re:Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft? on Friday November 28, 2025 @04:40PM (#46083006)
simplify gssapi, for one. single authentication and authorization: submit on slurm? ask kerberos + ldap. can i upload to this service? as kerberos + ldap. Policies applied on this computer? ask kerberos + ldap

i may be naive a bit, i'll accept that, but I really like how AD works (which is essentially kerberos + ldap)

Re:Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft? on Friday November 28, 2025 @04:34PM (#46082963)
kerberos solves the problem that you can have short one time tokens using your password.

Add public key infrastructure support, make ldap the default store and you got AD. Even better, you can throw all the OAuth crap down the drain.

now, starting services with a password becomes an issue of booting the machine.
