and perhaps a little bow to lem's “cyberiad” (automateusz, translated as automatthew, from the story automatthew's friend)

nie, ja tylko ostrzegam, że wylecisz stąd na kopach, misiu kolorowy. lepiej ci będzie na wykopie.

some twenty four years ago i managed, amongst others, a company's samba and print server (that was at the time when all the company's servers were beige boxes with less memory and disk than the laptop i'm using to type this – and still they served a few hundred employees).

the machine developed a strange custom of hard-resetting itself, which we initially tracked to specific files being sent for printing; the behaviour was fully reproducible.

as it happened, it was a hardware fault somewhere between the mainboard and the integrated SCSI card; installing a separate SCSI card and reconnecting the disks and backup tape device fixed the problem. (i did not have the budget for a new serwer, no.)

establishing the actual cause took me fucking weeks.

it's good the rats can't help themselves but to brag about what they're doing – in at least three different public places.

jfc. i remembered that the aurini motherfucker was very liberal with hard-r, but listening to that clip in 2024 is something else altogether.

this is such a sad slop. i wouldn't guess it's yegge, it's so far from his style when he used to write himself.

they also stored this thing as a fucking string. looking up strings is costly.

those are extraordinary claims and i'm sure you can give pointers to peer-reviewed materials that back them up.

when you will be doing that, please consider which parts of earth you feel are overpopulated, what quantum of global resources are they getting and what should be done with it; please convey the results of your considerations back to us.

Seirdy's. Seirdy's fedinuke list is a perfect starting point; and you might want to review his tier0 blocklist (you will probably apply almost all of these).

do read up a little on how the large language models work before coming here to mansplain, would you kindly?

updating…
