  • Do you have hope for Generation Alpha?

    Jump

  • Is this a "plans are useless but the act of planning is invaluable" kind of thing?

    Like arbitrary 15 years increments is basically worthless but you end up with a collection of meaniful epochs inside of those limited frames that it has value again?

  • what does your "workshop" look like?

    Jump

  • Agreed. I'm kind of lucky that my area is full of elderly machinists so garage sales and estate sales are full of tools like that. Even crappy tools that are right there are better than a good tool somewhere else for me.

    I do have a common tools basket too. Some pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, hammer.

  • Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.

    The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me

  • Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.

    Jump

  • I really like meeting up with coworkers and clients every few months, but almost exclusively because wfh makes me so much more productive that going to talk with people AFTER getting stuff done is very valuable.

    I never thought I would be able to wfh before honestly I just thought I'd spend my career finding places to hide to work.

  • Do you miss drinking from the water fountain?

    Jump

  • Filtered water bottle station? Yes! I don't trust water spouts where stranger put their faces nearby or where wild life has full access too

  • Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud

  • I found open standards were easier to push. You can, as an org, force Office to save as OpenDocument formats. Converting records takes some investment too though, but that one REALLY can show why it matters some times too. There are US laws that require documents be in those formats actually, for gov that is.

    That also opens up the fringes/early adoptors to use FOSS apps if they can.

    I said it before, but I'll say it again. Every bit of liberation makes the next part easier. Even if it's small.

  • Chew gum and walk at the same time.

    Move to FOSS apps. Move away from proprietary SaaS to FOSS SaaS or even IaaS. Move to open standards (qcow vs vmdk, odt vs docx, etc). Move from proprietary OSs to FOSS ones.

    The real limitation is, well budget to invest in administration and software development (which moves costs from OpEx to CapEx), and an "innovation budget" which the most amount of new things an orgs given domain experts can juggle at the same time.

    That said if have the orgs move to SaaS Element, half self host, some stragglers bridge teams, outliers bridge XMPP, etc etc. It doesn't matter it helps push the ball forward for all of the teams. If some move LibreOffice, some OnlyOffice, some just start forcing their Microsoft Office systems to save to OpenDocument formats, etc etc

    All push the ball, every step liberates them a little more so they can more easily do more!

  • To me the difference is always, why do you believe this is true. A lot of the bullshit stuff is 1. It's possible 2. They don't like the person it's about, and that's it.

  • do LLMs destroy open source?

    Jump

  • Kind of reminds me of people saying a small mom and pop "failed" because all it did was feed people for 30 years and brought enough money in for them to raise a family.

    Like damn, yeah maybe it's not the fucking stone henge but it probably did more for people today then the pile of rocks.

  • Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance

    Jump

  • Damn. I though this thread was being hyperbolic but they really wrote it like Intel will, for the first time in their history, making GPUs lmao

  • How you prepare for collapse?

    Jump

  • I'm going to sound confident here but I'm not this is just what I am doing.

    Build and participate in systems of support. There are almost certainly already people in your area experiencing a collapse of social systems.

    If you're now thinking, "i'd love too but I can't afford to" I would see what people actually need in your community and try to see what you personally can actually provide yourself. Not what you can afford from your job or could give up from your stuff, but what you could repeatably do to help even just a little.

    You will build a niche that helps your community be more resilient and yourself too.

    I've been making soaps for people and myself for example, and cleaning vinegar. I also been able help move people to more secure software, which is one my interests.

  • TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan

  • Especially since there are tons of specs that arent direct wifi upgrades in that same convention. I.e. 802.11ah for long range or ap for WiGig 802.11ad or confused with 802.1ax the Ethernet link aggregation standard.

    Imagine trying to explain that in the store to the person that calls the wireless access point "the Internet".

  • Was there actually a shift from imports to domestic supplies or just a reduction in purchases in the US though?

  • TIL the US Military operates a massive non-profit "socialist" grocery chain called the Commissary. It is taxpayer-subsidized and sells goods at cost

  • Honestly I haven't heard an American healthcare, active duty, va, or private that was good. Including my own experiences.

    The insurance model, tons of regulatory capture, and low investment in quality or even availability makes it just kind of shit. Way too much time and money spent on avoiding helping people.

  • European Commission Trials Matrix to Replace Microsoft Teams

  • Sweet! Element already has some work put into for secure gov use, plus federation is the reality at scale.

  • what does your "workshop" look like?

    Jump

  • Not the best to give advice, but I follow the "jet mechanic" philosophy. I make bags and boxes of tools of a give common task (i.e. all the things I use to build computers in a bag, all my quick wood worker stuff in a bag, etc). Then try to keep supplies near the best workspace for a give place (normally based on space, messiness of the hobby, power and vent considerations).

    Again it works somewhat for me, the bags replace ADHD piles and are more useful, but I'm a mess lol

    Something I love too is have an away spot for supplies and a in use spot. So my wood scraps are away on shelves on the wall, and my PC parts are in filing cabinets. I keep an active parts place and basket on my desk, that I try to clean up when I'm done working (either project done or just over it for a while).

    Away spots are the good places to put things really out of the reach, but try to keep it visibly accessable.
