  • Yes I'm disappointed in Linus. He does do windows propaganda though.

  • I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it's not fun anymore.. I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can't upgrade anything now.

  • Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.

  • 10gbit fiber locally doesn't mean I have this speed to the internet (I'm not).

  • We used to need tools like Hamachi back in the days. And it was awful, didn't work and caused me way too much headache

  • Third guilty pleasure is 10gbit/s fiber network at home.

  • Pushing my commits that trigger my own gitlab runners that build my c++ application across 32 cores/threads homelab server.

  • You call that good research? He should know better.

    Linus isn't the average Joe here. That is why people watch or even trust him wrt to technology to some regard.

  • At 25, Wikipedia faces a double threat: the rise of AI and the decline of local media— Human visitors declined in 2025, while AI crawlers are on the rise

  • Wikipedia is getting the same faith as stackoverflow now.

    I'm actually more in favor of more specialized wikis instead today. Like arch Linux wiki. Which I also contribute to. Or wine wiki etc.

  • Exactly he is just spreading fud due to his lack of research. I expect better from Linus here.

  • The only thing I expect from a big tech YouTuber like Linus is that he does good research.

    Trusting a random person on reddit isn't that. And he has a big audience of people who might also want to try Linux. However, this isn't helping.. I just expected better from him.

  • But Linus has a big audience and he knows that. He should have done this better instead of trusting a random reddit post and continue from there.

    People also listen to him and try to also copy him. Since now people might also try Linux and the first distro might now be pop os.

  • Because of a random reddit post..

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

    Jump

  • Also I can't really answer the question if it's bad or not what happens to ntfy.sh since it really depends on how the maintainer is using Ai here. Whether he did test the code, and read all the generated code.

    Ai in itself isn't the problem here.

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

    Jump

  • Indeed also read the paper called Programming as Theory building. From 1985. Which is very relevant today again. Since people lose the connection with the code due to Ai.

  • You can run my text through Ai checkers if you wish. But it's not Ai generated.

    I'm not just on my own instance. I'm the creator of the software: Mbin. Previously known as kbin.

    People need tldr today, due to TikTok. 😅

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

    Jump

  • Haha. I'm not a native English speaker. But it's not Ai generated.

    I try to keep it common for general people to understand it. If you have follow up questions shoot. I have 25+ years of software engineering experience.

    But my point is that developers can use Ai, Ai tools become much better for coding, as long as the developer still understands the code. Since some developers don't even bother looking at the code anymore...

  • Well. Maybe. But it's more complicated than that. The moderator was aiming for me it seemed. I never had such a bad experience online.

    I'm not interested anymore in Wikipedia either; they can just figure it out. I'm never, ever contributing a single word to Wikipedia again.
