I think you'd be a little privileged if you had a gaming PC and internet in 2003.

Eh, Bedrock is a much easier sell to my friends than Java was back in the day. Even the least technical manage to play together.

Lightning does work if you're using a large provider but it undermines the utility of BTC not requiring a middle-man. Running a lightning node with personal funds is simply not likely or safe for…

I am reading it correctly that FreeBSD doesn't have 802.11n wifi support?

I love these oddball devices that come out of China. Not super useful for most people but once and a while you have a use-case that they fit perfectly.

There's still websites like Agora Road that have an old internet feel, you just have to put work in.

What's the container story like? It might be fun running my homelab on FreeBSD 14...

I mean with the iPhone SE starting at $429 new Apple has a lot of price brackets covered.

Enabling dedup on ZFS is a good way to ruin your day if you're too happy.

The term I hear used Jupiter Broadcasting's Coder Radio is "dark matter developers" - imagine 9-5 Java 8 guys. However, I don't think HN forgets they exist, I think a lot of HN use…

If developers are going out of their way to forget about Microsoft that seems like Microsoft's failing.

I've been burned by Microsoft and AMD. The talking heads on CNBC would probably mention their synergy of "software, drivers, APIs, firmware the resources" but as a user of their end res…

Yeah while Wayland still has some warts it seems like people say "I don't have proper color management on Wayland" with the same enthusiasm "This GNOME Wayland session crashes on b…

I was born in '97 so I grew up in the 00s and 10s. I don't think I would have gotten into computers without Linux, the Internet, or the ease of PCIe - however I still appreciate being able t…

When I was born the Apple ][ was considered outdated but I had a teacher in HS who had a //e in the classroom and it's been my white whale since.

A lot of stuff would have broken during y2k if a lot of engineers hadn't put in a massive effort. We know this because we just changed the clocks to 2000 and things broke...badly.

green-on-black for a ][+ is what I have, but should be getting a recapped ][e model

I was blown away how sharp an Apple ][ display is in person. It’s really hard to get across how cool it looks.

> younger generations do not watch older content This is completely false.

> and First >> Isn't that arch? Arch will have the packages first and I do love Arch, but it's not exactly a holistic, curated distro like Fedora.

The iPhone 15 Pro that launched some months ago has 8G 8G is paltry on a desktop computer that should last years.

It seems like Steam is just that good for 30% then, can't say I'd call Valve evil for that.

There’s so many options for distributing PC games that the market clearly sees the 30% as fair. This is an ecosystem where you could sell a game on a website with a payment portal and nothing else…

Do you believe men and women are blank slates?

There’s plenty of questions about ZFS in the show that get answered, that’s always a given. I’d say their opinion on “ransomware being a backup problem not a security problem” was enlightening and the…

I've learned some very good tips from 2.5 admins but I have to take breaks often because their egos are a little much at times... The shows at https://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/…

MPL even, that should satisfy about anyone who'd want to contribute.

Can’t Debian just recompile it? I think that was OPs point. We’re not at a place yet where _only_ binaries are floating around we have all the source code for these applications.

X86 machines have had perfectly fine idle wattages for ages now. I’m not sure why people think an x86 machine is sucking 50W at all times or something.

I think my only exposure to this tech has been X-Files.
