I managed to find Extra History via Nebula, and it’s one of my new favorite channels…but I’ve found a lot more favorites from YouTube, definitely.

One thing I do love is finding a new channel I like that has years of backlog.

Yep. Most of my favorite creators are on Nebula now.

The ones that aren’t get watched on SmartTube or in Brave Browser.

If companies don’t push the envelope, nobody will mark it return to sender.

So…what’ll probably happen:

• Samsung does this. It is universally despised.
• A year will go by, and Google will do this. It will be universally despised.
• A year will go by, and Apple will do this. It will be loved by Apple users and despised by everyone else.
• A year will go by and it’s a part of every Android phone on the market. Apple users will accuse Android of “stealing” the feature. Everyone else will despise it.

AI delusions are half the reason I go to work in the first place.

It’s not.

The problem is that one percent that does need Windows.

Unicorns suck in IT. It’s a small number of systems that take a disproportionate amount of admin overhead.

So IT leadership has to decide if they support a separate OS for a small percentage of users, or one OS that works for everyone (Windows).

Big whoop. I remember seeing free tools that would look up a username on Reddit and tell you about them. This “tech” has been around for a while.

But post-quantum…

I mean, having a tested and proven DR/BCM plan is kind of an important part of being a serious business…

A walled garden without an exit is just a pretty prison.

I don’t disagree, but that’s probably closer to implicit bias than overt bigotry. When people talk about the “bad part of town”, often it’s the “bad part” as a result of perpetual systemic racism, and the concerns of going there is more rooted in personal safety (or at least the perception of it). And sure, that feeds into it, but it’s really more of a cycle or a feedback loop.

And there’s also the anxiety of being the cultural and demographic opposite of everyone around you. That’s gotta be some sub-type of agoraphobia or something.

Sure, probably, “implicit bias” is just a PC way of saying “racist-ish”, but it is at least a start. It’s very difficult to retrain behaviors that have been learned since birth, if not hypnopaedically earlier.

In a (code) perfect world, wouldn’t an LLMs “personality” and biases be aligned with the median of its training set?

In other words…stupid-in/stupid-out. As long as the (median of) input data is racist and sexist, the output data would be equally bigoted.

That’s not to say that the average person is openly bigoted, but the open bigots are pretty damn loud.

Nope. No reason that you should pay $1000 for a device and not, at the very least, be able to install compatible software from other sources.

We wouldn’t accept this from Microsoft. Could you imagine if this was the norm for DOS or Windows?

Should side loading be discouraged and warned about? Yes. Should it be impossible? Maybe through “parental” controls or MDM, but absolutely not out-of-the-box.

Most of my favorite channels are on nebula now anyway. Just need Technology Connections and Mark Rober (my kids LOVE Mark Rober) to make the jump.

Netbox is a documentation tool. You can plug in Napalm to do some stuff but it mostly exists to catalog the intended state of the network.

It’s a wonderfully powerful tool, and Stretch has done a great job with it…but it’s not an analysis tool, it’s documentation.

Stretch is a pretty cool guy too. He strikes me as the kind of person that really wants to help colleagues “see the light” of the role Python and FOSS can play in network automation and maintenance. I respect that, a lot…finding enjoyment in the way you do things, and wanting to share that with other people.

That’s a very eurocentric view. Most of the world outside of Europe and imperial Asia was communist or socialist tribes until Europe went and colonized everything. And they were doing pretty damn good at colonizing.

Remember the reason colonists conquered lands so easily was largely because they out-armed them. The tribes had no need for such advanced weapons until colonists arrived with them.

Interesting…I’m using proxmox at home but running my containers in a VM. Looks like there’s an openshift community edition…I may have to check this out.

I’m not a sys admin by trade (networking), but my opinions at least have some weight where I work.

I imagine being redhat based, I could run FRR at the hypervisor level. For that matter being kubernetes I can use calico. Holy shit this could be awesome. I need to play.

Openshift is a kubernetes platform isn’t it?

There’s still a need for real VMs, and I didn’t think openshift filled that.

Yeah…I rank Canonical roughly where Google was like 20 years ago. They’re still mostly good…but that’s highly likely to change.

Man could you imagine what proxmox would be if that project got just a tenth of the money VMware got?

Classic prisoners dilemma. Nobody wants to invest in proxmox because not enough people invest in proxmox.
