I stand by my opinion. I'm going to die on this hill. STOP . MAKING . "Hello, world!" 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall. 98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer ... #Programming #ProgrammingLanguage

Damn, this made me chuckle.😆
barbwritesstuff: I have learnt today that my library refers to me as "the specific and highly active user" and has denied some of my purchase requests because "we can't skew the collection too much toward the taste of the specific and highly active use."

I did suggest roughly 100 vampire books for purchase last year. I think this probably has something to do with that.

Dragon-in-a-fez: op is there any particular reason the librarians would feel safer not invoking you by name?

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

It seems asking people to think on their own is today such a difficult challenge. #ArtificialIntelligence ? More like #ArtificialUnIntelligent #MicrosoftCopilot #Copilot
A screenshot of the article, saying "Sheesh - if you're going to have to actually *read* that stuff, you might as well just cut Copilot out of the loop and do the thinking yourself."

In this case, A.I. speeds up the fix. It's good to have an automated system to find vulnerabilities. Plus, the vulnerability requires "Local Access" It's not remotely-exploitable. For a personal system, that no one else is using, this vuln is not really concerning. #Linux

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

The difference between #Ansible 's YAML, and #SaltStack 's YAML, is in the rendering process. In Ansible, the YAML is parsed first, then every value is Jinja2-rendered. In SaltStack, the file is Jinja2-rendered first, then it is parsed as a pure YAML. #DevOps #CICD

Let this be a lesson. A warning. To maintain 100% trustworthiness, DO . NOT . EVER . TOUCH . LLM A.I. WHEN . WRITING. Use whatever tool available to blacklist all known LLM A.I. domains. The temptation to take a shortcut, is just too strong for many. Especially when weakened by serious illness.

I keep reading posts about people who wrote applications entirely with "zero coding." They say they don't read the code and instead refine the application using increasingly precise prompts. I have some questions: * Is the application nontrivial? 1/7

Remember folks "Claimed productivity gains" (if coding / doing stuff with LLM-assistance) "are nowhere to be seen." A.I.bros hate this message Because that means They have been throwing money down the drain. A.I. is a slop. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #Slop #Slopware

A #bash script that lists all listener processes and their detailed command lines. Now using 'ss' instead of 'netstat' Yes it is still NOT POSIX-compliant. MPL-2.0-licensed code below this post. #Linux #LinuxTools #CommandLine #CommandLineTools #CLITools
A snippet of a Bash script that formats output of 'ss -tulpn' in columnar format *and* lists the complete command line that opened the listener. (C) 2026, Pandu POLUAN.Example output of the Bash script snippet in the previous picture.

Hmmm... I did not realize, that the 'netstat' command has been deprecated. And nowadays, I should use the 'ss' command instead. A new script, coming soon! #bash #bashscript #Linux

A snippet of a bash script. The purpose of this script is to grab the output of a netstat command, then grab the complete/non-truncated command line from /proc/PID, and finally present them all in a tabular format.An example of the output of the snippet (if executed inside a bash script file)

Seriously. If you want a stable OS, #GentooLinux is it. The USE flags ensures that all packages will work together. Just don't use the ~amd64 keyword. Of course the tradeoff is you have to allocate time to compile (nearly) everything and to configure the kernel. #Linux

The SuperPower of #Gentoo #Linux is that you can set up your system exactly the way you want it via the USE flags. And packages will -- most of the time -- adjust to your desires. No such thing as package broken because of missing dependency feature. They either compile or not. #GentooLinux
