When you've been saving the entire company on the reg and get a 1k Christmas bonus and the sales guy gets your entire salary as a bonus, yeah, it causes some fucking resentment!

In my family boys are taught this at about 8. This makes me want to do it again. I had my grandfathers bow stolen out of the trunk of my car and haven’t nooked an arrow in a long time.

Wow, I hadn’t thought of it like that before. I’ve recently been finding real insights in such reframing.

Gnu info for anything gnu, then man pages, then tools like tldr

Pids and cgroups all the way down (also why the wise greybeards rejected docker)

I’m taking it meta. Not only am I properly embracing high-tech, low-life in game world, my design is of a metaverse preemptively designed to learn the lessons to avoid a corporate dominated abusive version.

In reality, the market will do it for them as the datacenter and energy boom requires more energy than green can provide and the money will flow anew to nuclear and fission.

gnuser — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 14:48:37 +0000

Im at the stage where Im having dreams regularly about mmo architecture design and this is a good intro article to the topic. My big challenge is in the data size and speeds required for such a high tick rate with physics objects instead of just binary presses such as in most mmos. (in godot 4.4)

/goes back to thinking about the fastest in-mem DBs and how they might work in such a stack

Im annoyed at all the servile responses in defense of these bad companies.

Wanna hear my conspiracy theory?

Three letter agencies are using games as an intel gathering tool, and KLA is part of that. What if the CEOs are getting NSLs, etc?

dumb techbro c-suites: what, why would you have an issue with a proprietary closed source app that frequently self updates and sends tons of data to a third party while essentially being a backdoor? We said we wanted security and this has Security(tm) all over the literature! Look we even have dashboards for the gui-ninjas like the security team!

Good stuff. Imagine this though: ssh as user access control using a multiuser system such as gnu/linux

byw everyone should be using ed25519 or at least 2048+
