@eriner @r000t mfw when I scrapped out 400 feet of useless 75-ohm cable one year before I got into radio and realized it could have made a house-sized loop antenna in the attic.

@r000t @kaia @graf Perhaps you should try being Indian? It does seem to be much more important than being able to do the job.

It really bugs me how often ntpd produces slightly out of sync clocks by trying to be overly clever with skew and with trying to not break software that relies on a monotonically increasing clock. If something breaks when the clock fails to increase monotonically, it's shit, I don't care if it crashes. I'd rather it crash so that I know to uninstall it.

So, I tried to do it "right" this time, but I am going with the strategy that works: run ntpdate pool.ntp.org after the net comes up and then periodically run it again from a cronjob. ntpd(1) has some warnings about how if you do it that way, you don't get the cool skew detection, and it should be the opposite

In other news, cargo is a total piece of shit and this should come as no surprise to me because Rust is a language made by children that have no idea what they're doing but every time I have to interact with software written in Rust, the compiler and the tooling find new ways to disappoint me. I should just get a bunch of RISC-V gear so Rust shit won't run and I don't run into problems like this.

@p I think POWER is similarly immune to rust. Also go.

@djsumdog @PNS I can see the pitch now.

“This is made from 100% upcycled copper taken from electric car charging stations to fight the war on greenhouse gasses emitted by the coal-fired power plants used to power green electric cars.”

@Terry @RedTechEngineer @Red_Hat @Groomschild @randbot @AWIVR … You live in a world where new agencies do fact checking and report anything correctly?

@Terry @RedTechEngineer @Red_Hat @Groomschild @randbot @AWIVR Now that’s trustworthy.

istvan,

@Terry @RedTechEngineer @Red_Hat @Groomschild @randbot @AWIVR No. of course not.

I just think people are lazy, and fuck up more often than they don’t, and don’t check facts, and just report whatever they heard from someone else, and that this is so circular that “authorities” will copy and paste what random fuckers said the authorities said and did rather than pick up a phone and call the next department over.

@Terry @RedTechEngineer @Red_Hat @Groomschild @randbot @AWIVR US Constitution is on the websites of the Supreme Court and the Senate: describes fantasy US government function instead of actual function.

NASA website says it’s going back to the moon: it never went there in the first place.

Lots of goofy stuff on US government websites, same as everything else.

Everything everywhere is as likely to be false as true. Believe what you enjoy to be true. I favor whatever is funniest.

@Terry @RedTechEngineer @Red_Hat @Groomschild @randbot @AWIVR Which is why I mentioned the US constitution lol

What's this Mastodon spam thing about? I just woke up.

istvan,
@istvan@noauthority.social avatar

@alex @tk From what I can tell, some guy has figured out how to slip through Mastodon’s super granular BAN EVERYTHING or BAN NOTHING filter system, and Mastodon admins are losing their shit about how to deal with it.

Seems like when that guy figured out her could put shit into Wikipedia using the comment fields and Wikipedians went insane because while they could undo changes they had absolutely no way to remove the associated comments from history.

A short history of the ASUS Eee PC and netbooks.

I never got one because, although cool, the limited use I'd have done wouldn't justify even the affordable price as I had no mobility or form factor needs.

@amoroso The initial EeePC was pretty cool. It was one of the few laptops at the time with full support for Haiku operating system including wifi.
