my upstream screwed up the routing to me again
can't wait until my IXP port is provisioned and i don't have to rely on their internal network

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Friday, 22-Mar-2024 02:06:26 JST linear cannon @aral@mastodon.ar.al i work in embedded and this is disturbingly accurate. thankfully most of the customers i've worked with who are clearly trying to do this (whether or not they are being transparent with us that they're trying to do this) end up failing and running out of money before they can do too much damage
with one notable exception, but they were already well-established (and i would've refused to work with them. thankfully that's possible for me here) -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 10:56:11 JST linear cannon netbsd is so cool sometimes
like how cool is it that the experimental wg(4) driver can be, right out of the box, run as a rump kernel in userspace
and you can do the same with filesystems, too. you can probably run your root filesystem as a rump kernel driver if you boot from a memdisk with the appropriate components -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Tuesday, 19-Mar-2024 06:32:10 JST linear cannon you expect me to take courses on operating systems and networking and algorithms and machine learning and whatever?
i was writing HTML web pages by hand at age 5, installing slackware on production servers at age 6, regularly browsing the web on wifi through a command-line-only slackware install with w3m at age 9 (and using kismet to poke networks i shouldn't have been on the same laptop), teaching myself C and C++ at age 11 or so, switched primarily to debian and learned how to build software from source and ran gameservers from an actual datacenter with my own public IP when i was about 12, performed ARP spoofing attacks on my school network when i was 14 just for fun (nobody and nothing was harmed), wrote a library implementing multi-layer perceptrons and backpropagation training in C at the same age and performed OCR with it, wrote IRC chatbots in lua (with nothing but luasocket) when i was 15, i was teaching other students in my school's C++ class at age 16 because the teacher we had that year wasn't (and writing all sorts of bullshit in z80 assembly on my calculator - actually on it, self-hosted), and i was writing my own tiny kernel for x86 systems and testing it on a netbooted beowolf cluster i'd built out of discarded university-surplus thin client machines when i was 17
i feel like a lot of CS degrees wouldn't cover half of the stuff i learned myself because of being shown how to use the things around me and then being left mostly unsupervised with them for ~10-15 years -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Friday, 15-Mar-2024 00:19:37 JST linear cannon @chjara@akko.wtf i have both types. the first generation ones are almost impossible to actually use these days unfortunately - you can set up a vm to host them properly if you get the vfio stuff set up right. unfortunately i can't do that on the 2nd gen xeon phi system because it doesn't support virtualization (it would otherwise be my only good option for running the 1st gen cards i have)

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Friday, 15-Mar-2024 00:18:43 JST linear cannon @chjara@akko.wtf the first generation ones are a coprocessor, and are a weird distorted form of x86_64 that cannot be targeted by normal compilers
the second generation ones are just ~68 intel atom airmont cores in a trench coat, with 4-way SMT and AVX512 bolted on, in a LGA 3647 socket -

let's see if stress-ng is able to trigger the panic -

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Saturday, 09-Mar-2024 03:16:00 JST linear cannon i guess (in part because some of the recent discourse) i've had a renewed realization that i simply do not like GNU/Linux, or more specifically, what it has been evolving into. and i'm tired of trying to split the difference and try to hammer the few distros i can tolerate into a shape i like, or go on fruitless efforts to start my own, especially when the BSDs are right there

linear cannon (linear@nya.social)'s status on Saturday, 09-Mar-2024 02:33:13 JST linear cannon @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org "nonlinear" is a matter of perspective imo. if you look at a 286 in protected mode and squint hard enough, it's an architecture with a 32-bit virtual pointer size, 512M/512M user/kernel split of virtual addressing space, and a 64k page size, with the odd quirks of the pages being resizeable and sizeof(int) being 2
