We had one compulsory course in English at university. The professor corrected a “man-in-the-middle” I had in a field-specific paper. She preferred “middle man”. She did buy that it was an established term in cryptography, though.

Yes, but where’s the irony in that?

Yes, but who wants to be staring at their phone all the time.

Maybe they could make a smart glass-app to warn about smart glasses.

$29 is enough for one of them pro plans. That’s plenty if you’re not wasteful.

But do companies like Accenture get that subsidized plan at scale? At API rates that can easily be thousands of dollars.

Yes, were all on c/LocalLLaMa

I’m running qwen3.8-next-flash on a rx7900xtx plus 128gb of ram. It serves my hermes agent. I direct it through matrix. I also forward an endpoint to my VPS to use for anything. Mostly opencode.

My VPS gets a weekly rsync to my home server. I keep ten deduplicated copies for weeks gone by. The current week also gets synced off-site with encryption.

I have a VPS running nginx and wireguard. I just forward whatever subdomains to my home server over wireguard.

I’ve seen T-shirts in the tourist quarters of Prague that read “Home sex is killing prostitution”.

I think he’s trying to say that he’s only half-Russian.

I have the memory of a goldfish with poor memory. I can’t recall any other big breaks in the last 20. I’m sure there’s been some since, but trivial enough to fix and forget about.

It happened once in the last ten years (thanks Nvidia). But I just rolled back to my previous btrfs snapshot and kept on computing until it was fixed a day or two later.

But forced breaking updates the first Tuesday of every month sounds like a really bad user experience.

Things were different back in the 90s before loadable kernel modules. Online updates weren’t much of a thing, either. You’d just install that new slackware release over your old root partition anyway.

I’ve been living in Linux-land for the last 30 years, and I’ve never really believed my wife when she says that updates just break things and tries to avoid them to no end.

Why does Microsoft do that? It seems like it would be bad for business.
