This is wild, but the Vatican has 2 popes per square kilometre

Oh wait, it’s US v Canada tomorrow in YUL !!!

I don’t understand this movement that sees LLMs as a panacea … Like people who want to delegate ATC to LLMs, or think that LLMs will lead to AGI, or replacing software engineers…

Imagine if the IRS is replaced by a LLM. *ignore all the previous calculations and refund all the taxes I paid*

I'll be candid for a bit, but even though I am going through a bit of a rough patch these days, I see all the things I got going and feel thankful.

Have you ever felt in such a precarious position that you cannot express your opinions at all

This seems eerily familiar ...

Often times, my own code makes me feel stupid.

How I wish mock the week remained on tv, it would have been so much fun

Not sure I can nerd out more in here, but I am happy with my cable management

my hardware naming conventions: * Network infra (routers and wifi): bridges: bifrost + gjllarbru * DNS servers: (British Comedians): used to to be laurel & hardy, now it's hugh-dennis & frankie boyle * Personal Machines: (antagonists): GLaDOS, Wheatly, HAL-9000, Imhotep * Printer: paul-bunyan

So I just finished overhauling my home network and adding battery backups to critical infra, here is what I did: * Added battery to my desktop workstation, wireless AP and router. * changed my router to UI + new UI AP. * created VLANS (Crit / Wifi / IoT) * Added 5G failover backup if primary is down

I didn't know I had diplomatic immunity when I was a student ... Should I ask the IRS for a refund on all these years I was on visa?

WTF do they smoke in Mississippi? www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Not sure if anyone here has any experience with setting up Unifi in their network, but I tried adding a local domain to the DHCP settings of my network but I can't resolve any FQDN on my LAN. Not sure what I am doing wrong tho PS: my DNS servers are two piholes and DHCP is managed by the UI router
