Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says “this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)”
Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning
The early twenties intermediate dev on my team was explaining the other week that if you remember a time before smartphones and broadband, you are old
I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024
Neurosyphilis
My 10 year prediction - Microsoft does a full transition to a services company:
If you thought the bots were obnoxious now…
This is where I’d put my Framework laptop
IF THEYD SELL ME ONE
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
Dude wouldn’t know what to do with a condom.
My theory is it’s not dementia, it’s neurosyphilis. Party like it’s 1825!
Yeah, I was a little surprised - the MMP can do PS1 emulation no issue, but apparently N64 is too much. I would have thought it would be the other way round
Will be interesting to see if this is useful for non-PC platforms as well; I’ve got a Myioo Mini Plus (basically an ARM SBC in a GameBoy-esque case designed to run RetroArch) - it’s not really powerful enough to run a N64 emulator, but if I could recompile the games in my PC and run them natively then maybe that’ll work better?
Dealing with this at the moment - in an org that’s been pretty lax at writing anything down about what and why as far as internal software goes, trying (with support from C-suite) to get people to actually write up any amount of detail in their requests is like pulling teeth.
I tend to take that position as well; if it’s not defined, I get to define it. If I ask for feedback or review and get silence, that means you approve.
That’s not how Neon works. Your install will upgrade itself once the team have finished rebuilding everything on top of 24.04 - it’s happening, but it takes a bit of time

It’s coming. It takes a bit of work to make it happen
“is not exactly tailored to my specific requirements, aesthetic preferences and built using technology I’m familiar with” = “sucks” apparently
Yeah, I’ve learnt over the years that having non-computer based creative hobbies is really important. I did a bit of leather working for a bit - tools are cheap on AliExpress and it doesn’t take up a ton of space unless you go really deep. Spend a few hours on a weekend in the garage making a thing that is tangible and I can hold and doesn’t require maintenance
Oh don’t get me wrong, 99% of the time I love my career and 15 years in I still get a kick out of crafting code to make the stupid little machines do what I want.
The other 1% of the time - a couple of days a year - I get home at the end of the day with a profound sense that these machines are driving me slowly mad
Things made out of wood don’t suddenly stop working cos you looked away for 15 seconds and Wood v2.1.4 is incompatible with Nails v4.0, but if you upgrade Nails you also have to upgrade Paint to v2.2 and they completely changed their API because the old API wasn’t sufficiently cool anymore
