@prologic@twtxt.net i’ve been traveling, writing, and working. have had little time for much else.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net r/datahoarder just crashed

@prologic most of the community abandoned it. opting for building our own communities

@prologic jitsi uses it as well.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net a sad say for the phreaker crowd

@anx

several keybase users left after the zoom acquisition. i no longer use it but tombstoned my account.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i understand that completely. mikrotik will carry you far. when you surpass it’s abilities i think that’s a good problem to have.

reflection:

there was a time in my life where i was obsessed with high-density/high-performance computing. having command of hyperscalar clusters and workstations that could scorch the earth was a deeply embedded part of my work and research years ago.

over the years i realised that i didn’t require access to these sort of things to conduct research and work. in fact it became quite the antithesis to my philosophical belief system. in the past my work focused on space-time complexity and performance measured in sub-ms. when i look back at how much energy was consumed to experiment, my head falls low.

in addition, by becoming dependent on this tier of machinery i created multiple fail points in my toolchain since we designed systems that had an inherent requirement for massive power and scale.

in the end, it felt like having a raptor system to open chrome.

these days i’m quite pleased with my thin/low-power thinkpad i procured for nearly nothing. funny how things work out as you grow older

strengthening global systems to prevent and respond to high-consequence biological threats - nti

interesting exercise. even more interesting timeline.

what about you?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de smart move from cisco -> mikrotik they pack more bang for the buck and off a less-esoteric configuration system than cisco. the cost of course is a nice outcome. before i became involved with opnsense project i spent many years in mikrotik world. i quite enjoyed it.

cisco is mostly trash these days as their focus is a lot of consumer-grade gear which really is not amazing. they tried to do the whole cloud/sdn thing with meraki but it (much like ubiquiti) is firmware hell and full of exploits that take forever to get patched.

if your group cycles through more gear i’d suggest juniper. and yes, they can be affordable.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net if i were foolish enough to purchase an nft, this would be the one.

go run main.go -T "stuff" -e "google" -t "es" -f "en" does indeed spit out a response from the api, but you’ll likely need to build a struct to map the return values to just what you want (ie the text translation for instance).

you’ll likely need to unmarshall the response to pluck out what you need into a string format and return only that.

@mckinley how i missed the call i am not certain.

@prx@si3t.ch great work!

@xuu@txt.sour.is with layer8 being the super glue.

@prologic @movq@www.uninformativ.de

had a similar problem many years ago. some lovely individual decided to create a bunch of trunk ports which had no primary vlid they had also created multiple isolated vlans with no routing between subnets.

im convinced cisco was created by sadist

every step begins with a jmp

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com this joke is turning into a highlander fast, man.

by this reasoning, you could indeed stockpile 52 base model 12’s in one year, export them to the middle-east and quintuple your money.

that will be 4% financial advisor fees. i’ll have my accountant send someone an invoice you don’t have to pay.

@eaplmx that would be good. there are lots of enthusiasts in spanish speaking regions. i lived in one for many years. i think what helps is ease of onboarding and starting small groups like you suggested.

meanwhile sleep deprivation had me hallucinating robert englund’s low-cash stunt double.

divide by your day wage and determine how many iphones you can buy.

@prologic @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com this is a great tattoo idea.

@prologic there’s a right kind? :thinking
