Haha I started on computers really young, so I got to experience a lot of the early 2000’s era internet.

I forgot about eDonkey, sharing forums are another, used to frequent astalavista forums lol.

You’re right about torrents though in general, really changed the sharing game.

I remember Firefox 2 having TABS, instead of a bunch of IE or Netscape windows lmao.

Trying to play warcraft 3 custom maps and getting booted from games because of dialup making the map download take forever (or a phone call mid-game causing me to lag out and get kicked).

I didn’t get cable/dsl until my parents divorced around 2008, I remember sitting in the corner of our empty house (they had to short sell it during the housing crisis and my mom took most of the furniture when she moved out) trying to connect to my neighbor friend’s wifi (that I had flashed ddwrt on lmao) with this windows 95 laptop I managed to flash Linux mint onto to make it usable just to watch some anime.

Fun times.

I’m not old! I’m still in my 30s 🥲

Yet I too did all of the above except winmx, I used limewire lol

Surprised no one has mentioned proxmox (at least not the top 10 threads I saw first)

Basically debian with a webui specifically for spinning up VMs and LXCs and managing storage and such, then install whatever distro in an LXC and run docker in that.

Literally any programming issue is now vibe coding, didn’t you hear? People wrote perfect code always before LLMs took over all coding and started writing slop.

I’d like to see scientific proof of that

Why exactly does anyone think Nvidia would be the one to solve an energy crisis.

China is building them in 5-6 years, the best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago and the second best time is now.

Yes that’s why I said both, renewables require a lot of space both for generation and storage and generally has peaks and valleys on generation, vs nuclear which can consistently provide a stable amount generally.

“tend to attract questionable investors” what does this even mean, every industry attracts questionable investors and there’s basically zero nuclear in the US to even gauge that from.

There’s a huge anti-nuclear crowd, I’d prefer we focus on renewables as much as possible but it’s stupid not to phase out oil/gas for nuclear as a more consistent source.

I think they were fixing it already just not in the upstream kernel? As I’ve had audio just fine on my oled the whole time

Their lowest market cap was in Feb/March of 2020 of 0.23B, it is now at 11.11B so… No they’re doing much better then before.

“Quietly” I saw the article announcing it weeks ago

I do and please name a single human written program that doesn’t have a fuck up edge case that isn’t literally just hello world.

Neither humans nor AI generally write flawless code

I’m definitely still a noob but I’ve done hundreds of hours of debugging on code in the past few months, and my job for the past 8 years is basically to troubleshoot issues, though the past year I got to start doing devops/code work on the side.

Its fine though, I get why you guys are scared.

“You’ll have no idea” until it doesn’t work lmfao

Y’all are delusional

You can add instructions to not comment, you can also have it explain what it does at every step, not everyone just doesn’t care about learning. It can be a very effective teaching tool if you use it that way. 🤷
