  What makes an "AI datacenter" different than a normal datacenter? Is it just that it's fully dedicated to racks of servers specifically for AI purposes?

  Reddit can be a fun place! I was called "ignorant" simply for running #GrapheneOS and knowing ahead of time that tap-to-pay doesn't work. Dunno how "being knowledgeable and having tangible experience in this area" equals being ignorant. People are weird.

  Today, I'm thankful for the combination of these two #FreeBSD features: geli-based storage encryptionZFS Before I fly out to help with a family medical emergency, I'm backing up my most important bits to a geli-encrypted encrypted NVMe USB enclosure. It's ZFS all the way down, so I can do something like: # zpool import backups $ zfs snapshot rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27 $ zfs send -vp rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27 > /backups/laptop/home-2026-06-27.zfs Rinse and repeat for each ZFS...

  If true, that means a news publisher got advanced notice, and not some operating systems vendors. "Responsible disclosure" is anything but responsible.

  There are some production high-bandwidth communications satellite systems in low earth orbit running Rust-based firmware. Pretty cool. #Rust #Rustlang

  Making spectacular progress with #Radicle and #HardenedBSD today! https://radicle.network/nodes/rad.hardenedbsd.org/ and https://radicle.network/nodes/rad.hardenedbsd.org/rad:z3QDZAW2FAfuLvihrhiyDC9fAD8G9 :-D

  Woke up this morning to new #Radicle seeders for the #HardenedBSD src and ports repos. This is encouraging to see. There are a number of issues to fix: STALE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT should either be bumped or made configurable (or both).Filesystem permissions get messed up on #OpenZFS #ZFS but not on UFS or tmpfs.Bump the node.limits.fetchPackReceive maximum by default to higher than 500MiB (exact value to be chosen later.)Improvements to cloning without seeding. Right now, a user will need to run...

  It is really heartening and motivating to see the #Radicle community come to aid #HardenedBSD. I'm so grateful folks are helping out, especially at the cost of time, bandwidth, and storage. I feel full of gratitude this morning.

  #Radicle is working fine for #HardenedBSD src and ports between two laptops on the same physical network. But, it's not working in the slightest on the HardenedBSD infrastructure. I cannot get the seed node fully fetching the repos. Radicle just times out. The biggest issue is that it will try to restart the fetch from the very beginning upon failure. So we're transmitting the same exact data many, many, many, many, many, many times only to end up failing again. Radicle should probab...

  anyone use #Tailscale on #HardenedBSD? I have some questions regarding an issue I'm seeing.

  Dear Business People, Please send me slide decks prior to our meetings. Doing so will enable me to come to the meeting prepared and potentially with questions in hand. We'll all be on more even footing with mutual understanding even before the meeting begins. Sincerely, He who likes to prepare for meetings

  One downside to using #ZulipChat as your main method of open source project communications channel: it's not possible to sign up for a new account when connecting from #Tor. #Radicle

  Tools I predict will become more important as time marches on in the next five years: #reticulum#radicle#meshtastic#meshcoreI really hope we can move back towards a more decentralized and privacy-preserving Internet. These projects will likely play a crucial role in that effort.
