Another vote for immich.

I trialled several before finding immich. It is by far the best that I’ve found.

Amazing. I get there’s some atlassian bullshittery behind that.

There’s also a draw.io (diagrams.net) plugin for intellij and probably eclipse.

I’ve used coreos happily on homelab bare metal.

PXE booting it with cloudinit/ignition automation for provisioning.

It’s make for an excellent VPS.

They do!

See their Era, Mood, Ridge, Terra cases.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

I’m really appreciating your use of &c.

Are you in the nineteenth century by any chance?

Yet.

As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP’s get more customers, they’ll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

And that’s completely fine for most people.

If you’re not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.

Straight from the Boeing book.

In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

Almost everything can be parallelized, it’s just a bit harder to implement.

I’ve found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

I personally try to support the underdog, so AMD when it comes to x86.

Intel also refuses to provide Vulkan drivers for older CPU’s iGPU’s to drive consumers towards buying new systems, which I considered a dick move, and upgraded that laptop with an AMD based replacement.

We bought three 13900’s for workstations at work, got burnt with two of them, bought 7950X3D’s instead for the next three.

So, if you’re set on Intel (which is your prerogative) ask someone else ;-)

I’ll go give you a hint: you made some crap CPU’s and rather than binning them as lower spec’d units you sold them as is and then claimed they were performance units.

This meant that the spec overhead that previously MB manufacturers relied on to stretch the performance wasn’t there anymore.

TL;DR: greed

Nah, just a giant compiled binary blob. That’s what all the cool havkersdo these days.

Marketing has to be one of the most fungible business activities there are. That any business maintains its own marketing department (you’d still need someone to be the marketing director) is a waste of resources.

“Here’s $1m, put my products in front of 200,000 of the best market segment. Oh here’s some art to use.”

Had a similar incident with my son’s hand-me-down laptop. It just sits on a desk with a monitor and what-not plugged into it. It’s now a wide flat desktop.

You fight like my sister!

Good thing the NPC wasn’t trans or something… who knows how they would have reacted.

Which is actually how it works in the real world too!

Except it’s called medicine instead of magic. Trolololol.

Doctors have specialisations, some are very very specialised: e.g. specific types of neurosurgeon.

Also, accidents happen. Sometimes the doctor/magic-user gets it catastrophically wrong.

Also Yao in New Kaineng, self describes as “agendered”.

There’s a line of dialog something like “… and he had a husband!” in part of the story.

Nice to see diversity represented, sometimes feels a little clumsy but I’ll put that down to writers that are learning how to do it.
