“One million Blackwell GPUs would suck down an astonishing 1.875 gigawatts of power. For context, a typical nuclear power plant only produces 1 gigawatt of power.”

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot for you!)

Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/

(it'll ask you for a billing address but you can enter a fake address if you'd prefer)

This "three meetings at once" ad is a great example of how businesses will take tech and use it mostly to spend more time on pointless meetings and busywork instead of using it to, like, accomplish things.

If I had to start a new series of tech books, I would call it "Shattering your dreams about X".

This would be books about the hard realities of doing X for when you realize all the hard topics of operating X on a daily basis are not covered by the "it's going to be sooooo easy" official docs.

Like:

• "Shattering your dreams about k8s",
• "Shattering your dreams about GitOps",
• "Shattering your dreams about the self-organized team",
• etc.

me: hmm let’s have a look, which library should i use?

library A: it’s 1c1h. one c file, one header file

library B: to build this repo you need to install GluoOn, a fork of MoonOn, a build system based on the Ploob ecosystem. Edit the Ploob intermediates for your platform and include them in the XJAMELLE files. XJAMELLE is a post-Turing-complete configuration solution based on JSON, YAML and XML. To get familiar with the language, i recommend these books: note that these are affiliate links,

Considering the way mothers are treated in this shithole country, I'm outraged to see all this bullshit celebration of mothers this one stupid day per year.

Give us control of our reproductive system, safety from abusers, equal pay and maternity leave, for starters.

No? Too extreme?
Then fuck off.

I have a bear to meet in the woods.

looking forward to @mwl's book "Run Your Own Mail Server" coming out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server

I'm much too afraid to run my own mail server but I've always enjoyed his writing about networking (his “networking for system administrators” helped me a ton when I read it) and I think it's going to be a nice way for me to learn more about how email works

Cisco says it's tracking a large-scale brute-forcing campaign that is targeting VPN devices from multiple vendors.

The campaign started on March 18 and has targeted VPN web panels and SSH endpoints.

Cisco says most attacks originate from Tor exit nodes and other anonymizing tunnels and proxies.

The attacks have targeted VPN devices from Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, Mikrotik, Draytek, Ubiquiti, and RD Web Services.

SwiftUI -> Swift Concurrency -> SwiftData kind of buried my perennial WWDC enthusiasm under an avalanche of reality. After the last four years, my hands are full of technologies that I eagerly anticipated but are tiring or impossible to hold right. This is the first year I don’t feel guilty for not being excited and that’s progress for me.

In her opening keynote at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in Paris, Priyanka Sharma, executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), spoke of AI being in an "irrational exhuberance" phase, meaning that expectations are moving well ahead of delivery.
