  1. I've been working with VMware for much of the past 20 years, and with Broadcom now...meeeeh. If anything good has come of this situation, I'm forcing myself for the first time to explore XCP-NG, Proxmox, and Xen and KVM in general more seriously. So far I'm really impressed with what XCP-NG has become, and Xen Orchestrator seems to be heading in the right direction.

    So, any Fosstodon-ers out there have thoughts and experience on Vates and XCP-NG in general? -ng

  2. I know meant a lot to those who were active there over the years, so it's sad to see it go. I only visited every so often for fun and exploration, and occasionally for professional "meetups" but it was a solid virtual space option.

    If something like this can't survive "the Metaverse" I think we're going to be hard pressed to see another version broadly accepted any time soon.

  3. So um, all respect to Liam Hemsworth and everything, but could we maybe...I don't know...get Henry back as Geralt? Maybe? Pretty please?

  4. Hi Fosstodon! Day 3 of the new job, and I am tired and have basically been off social media entirely. 😄 are exhausting! But also exciting. Looks like I'm going to get a lot more hands-on time and more in general, so I'm looking forward to that.

  5. Hello out there folks, and long time folks I have yet to encounter. Doing the thing to try to build up the network a bit...

    45 year old computer geek and computer scientist, newly employed as a systems engineer (once again) and starting a role in the data center industry. Things I'm interested in:

    I may have to reconsider my Fediverse choice LOL...

  11. @jemmesedi Overall, I'm sure it will grow on me. Like @pixelcats I see this as part of the whole aespa evolution, and how it works with the other songs on the album. As a standalone it lacks stuff that I love in other aespa title tracks - a ripping bass line, soaring vocals by Ningning and Winter, and some kind of build up, or key changes to add some excitement. But I respect the aesthetic choice to stay minimalistic.

    3/n

  13. @jemmesedi The vocals are mostly rapping or speak singing. We don't get any Winter/Ningning pyrotechnics. I didn't really feel a lot of build up - it really just repeats and gets a little more intense and thick as it goes. We have the G-Dragon rap which sounds good, and the music switches up a bit. And I like the post-chorus (?) thing where they say: "Give me all smoke. Gunpowder powder hey woah. Hey."

  15. @jemmesedi Here's my WDA thoughts:

    Sounds very much like an aespa song. Thematically, visually and sonically it fits in with other title tracks like Next Level, Savage, Dirty Work, etc. Sound is very minimal - just that spooky repetitive riff that doesn't change much. They add in some cool percussion, violin sounds, etc. at different points.

    4. Also, these particular clumpy boots are godawful - like some combo of motorcycle and snow boots. What were they thinking?
    5. In conclusion, it is incumbent upon all people of taste to counter the influence of the #bigclumpyboot lobby on K-pop.

    youtu.be/1UVuxCDPr1s?si=C_-L7f

    Although I haven't posted this fancam before, I'm aware that I have posted a number of iterations of "Cliché" previously - so many, that perhaps some will be inclined to think I am posting to live up to the song's title.

    So why this post now?

    -- I love the song, and I can't stop celebrating it.

    -- The song was part of the set for the 260315 Sakura Festival in Kaohsiung , but the outfits and staging were low budget. This Taiwan stage is the '"real thing".

    -- Some Kpop fans here might think I am a dogmatic hater of rapping. This is not the case. I think of rap in Kpop as being like a spice; a little of it, as here from SinB and Umji, makes the dish so tasty, but I cannot stomach a whole bowl of it.

    -- All three members look beautiful here, but my bias Eunha is so gorgeous that the fancam MUST be posted.

    -- VIVIZ are in a contract crisis at the moment, and part of me - the romantic @jemmesedi, as opposed to the scientific realist @jemmesedi - believes that this posting will somehow help the members in their distress. I know this is magical thinking, but...

    "Thank you for your attention to this matter".

    #StephenMiller likes to wear silk suits and he wants #Murrica to only be populated by #HeritageAmericans. Stephen has no friends; his family have disowned him and he has never made a female orgasm... including his beard.
    Don't be like Stephen: love your fellow man.

    >> At the heart of all this lies the issue of citizenship. In recent years, it’s come to be regarded as a right. But it’s not. It’s a privilege to be earned. <<

    Melanie Phillips, commenting on the Alaa Abd el-Fattah case, does us the service of summarizing a core doctrine of the far right not just in the the UK but in the USA, France, Germany, and beyond.

    Do I need to add this doctrine is hateful, smacking as it does of some of the worst regimes of the 20th century?

  28. After going back and forth about how big or small my #BestOfKpop2025 list should be, I decided to revert to my original plan and just post my Song Of The Year.

    As you can see from the linked post that I wrote in June, I love "The Chase" so much , and I never tire of watching this stage.

    Sparkle sparkle!
