  1. I love it when technology lifts get so big and technical that they eclipse enterprise solutions and return to fundamentals. That's my game. I'm here for you when that happens. It will happen. 🤣

    Also, it's always DNS.
    Also too, it's never a better time to switch to Debian.

  6. RE: framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/1170

    For David Revoy's AI-only promotion of "ToxiClump™" cat litter, I asked Anthropic Claude and ChatGPT where to buy.

    In the absence of ToxiClump, ChatGPT suggestions included:

    Buy BEARD SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER (6.7 fl oz) 200ml | BIOVEA UK

    <biovea.net/UK/product/detail/1>

    "Bulldog Beard Shampoo & Conditioner is a 2 in 1 beard grooming product formulated to cleanse and clean your beard, keeping it fresh and healthy. Each use cleans and moisturizes, providing everything you need to maintain your beard's softness in just one product. This beard grooming combo is made with all-natural ingredients including aloe, camelina and green tea. It also contains no synthetic fragrances, artificial colors or animal products."

    I checked my bathroom cabinet, found a dusty bottle of By My Beard. It smells lovely. I prefer offline shopping (supporting local organisations), however Claude could not find a local retailer for this product.

    The top result online is in stock: <makeup.uk/product/278555/> – £7.32 (£5.33 + £1.99 delivery to a locker).

    The second result is less costly – £5.48 (£1.49 plus £3.99 delivery) – but out of stock: <fabfinds.co.uk/products/by-my->.

    Most shocking: the discovery that my beard has turned grey.

    First point: This is not mainly about age check. See here: „it sometimes surfaces in related subjects like this.“ cloudisland.nz/@rmi/1165304338

    Second point: Systemd aims to unify the distributions to some extend social.tchncs.de/@hierkiosk/11 so it is understandable that „greyhairs“ which are used to a number of different designs don't want to cope with it. Live and let live, I would say to both sides?

    Btw. #greyhair is a nice word, a gender neutral term for #greybeard.

  21. @drscriptt @monospace I got my workplace almost entirely converted to XML back when it was "fresh" and then JSON took over and we've mostly avoided the shift.
    Explaining to people why I prefer XML over JSON when they're too young to understand the move from CSV is just hard.

  31. @fluffy My nuanced take on this is that, when used with caution, #LLM can augment those who know what the heck they’re doing, but in the hands of the clueless they are downright dangerous (especially when their default modus operandi is to be a sycophantic sidekick).

    I’ve found it amusing to rebut a response with a “are you lying?” or better yet “user is #genx and a #greybeard so don’t flatter or bluff or exaggerate”.

  36. A #greybeard gave me some #careeradvice while we were working late on security reviews that is some of the best advice I've ever heard.

    He told me to focus on retirement as early as possible. Pay off debt, and put back just enough investment that I can quit my job and work for something like a nonprofit or open source work that pays too little to cover the bills normally. Retirement isn't about not working. It's about doing something you actually care about.
