  1. (pardon the self-promotion)

    Capitalism has co-opted frequentism, and LLMs are eating the world. Here's how to explain how we might take it with Bayes.

  2. Where do people ask deeply technical and esoteric questions these days?

    My question is: why is Debian constantly logging in and discovering all the iSCSI nodes? Every 10 seconds. Blam. Fetched the new list.

    How do I stop this? I try deleting the nodes I don't want (iscsiadm -m node -T xxx -p yyy --op=delete) and then < 10 seconds later they're all back.

    BTW, I can find a billion man pages and superficial HOWTO guides but nothing that says, "turn off iscsi-always-poll"

  3. CW: Very Mild Star Trek Enterprise spoiler

    My favorite obscure piece of Star Trek trivia is that Velcro was introduced to humanity by a Vulcan.

  4. Who just discovered a server with an out of date Duo installation and now can't `sudo` and fix it?

  5. Are the InfoSec cool kids speculating on what ManageMyHealth did poorly?

    My guesses are:
    - default password (or weak password, eg, Health1)
    - staff account not closed after they left

  6. Ein schönes Gefühl, wenn man etwas aufgeräumt hat und der Schreibtisch für ein paar min. wieder hübsch ausschaut. #HomeOffice #Gaming #Ubuntu #Linux #Nerdshit

  7. Searching for the error message from ESPhome shows that other people have the same problem as me and there's no clear error or fix: when ESPhome first downloads parts of the toolchain it can fail and not properly be detected (well, in spite of the page of red errors) and even if you delete the cache it still doesn't fix it as the toolchain lives outside the cache.

    One fix I found buried in an archived comment is to remove and add the entire Add-on. Fixed it for me!

  8. I always think Luis Castillo looks a lot like Lister in #RedDwarf and when we used to play Josh Naylor before he joined the #Mariners it made me think about Red Dwarf even more cause Grant Naylor wrote Red Dwarf. So both of them playing for Seattle makes me ridiculously happy. Go, Mariners! #baseball #mlb #nerdshit 🔱🔮🔱

  9. Impressed that this process has used 21114685 hours of CPU time since 2020 but there are only 8 cores in this box.

    It used three centuries of CPU time in half a decade? Goddamn computer wizards!

    Solarflare XtremeScale

    … is there some sort of trademark slappy fight about using “extreme” on a NIC name and dropping the leading “e”?

  11. Last night I played Fear and Hunger 2 while hanging out with @PapiKitsune and I kept having to pause to take deep breaths. And he kept saying, "But you haven't even fought anyone yet!" 😹 It's the anticipation though!!!
    And then I couldn't go to sleep because we played it right before bed.
    Someone save me from myself. 🤭

  12. This is one of the greatest things I've ever spent money on: a framed, authenticated, production-used paintbrush from the #DoctorWho episode, "Vincent and The Doctor."

    1. I am almost done with the latest round of messing with (aka “updating”) my knezek.art website. :blobCat_nerd_face:

  16. Deeply hate that the Supermicro BIOS feels like resetting to default almost every time I upgrade.

    I need to fix the PCIe Bifurcation every time and breaks my ZFS NVME Raid.

  17. Finally got to sit and focus long enough to break open #Azure #Kubernetes services and get my new cluster deployed! Further, I was able to get it up and running and test an old Linux app on it to validate connectivity. More testing to do, but this means we’re finally gonna get to move our #K8S apps off old pre-Azure-design AKS clusters onto new ones that a.) consume our newer Azure network and governance designs and b.) actually update themselves over time 😅. #nerdshit #SystemArchitecture

  18. Did an upgrade to the internet connection at the apartment...should make that work from home a bit better #nerdshit #speedtest

  19. So stoked. I was able to find a #FiiO M11 Plus LTD with 2 of the #AK4497EQ #DAC chips for a reasonable price.
    .
    Only 5k of them were made because of the chip shortage, and, after days of research (to figure out that this was the #DAP I wanted to get as an #upgrade from my #HiBy R3), and weeks of searching (on #eBay, #HeadFi, #Headfonia, etc.) I was able to find one. Shipped yesterday!
