I'd really like to just buy some collective shares of a GB300 NVL72 in a datacenter somewhere and have a daily token quota on a shared DeepSeek model or whatever was hot that week. I would just need to find ~100 like-minded folks at this $40k per share price to get started haha.

This echos of Google's strategy with Chromium.

Ditto on having services expressed in more portable/cross distro containers. With NixOS in particular, I've found the best of both worlds by using podman quadlets via this flake in particular https://github.com/SEIAROTg/quadlet-nix

This "NixOS & Flakes Book" https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world was posted to HN some years ago and is still a good/relevant read.

On a whim, there is a nuanced situation with some Realtek (RTL8671B) bluetooth firmware on Linux that is 'solved' by downgrading firmware version. This random gist has a nice thread https://gist.github.com/peteristhegreat/b48da772167f86f43dec... ..and this fellow Nix wizard has the downgrade expressed in a nix config: https://github.com/Arroquw/nixos-config/commit/9d90d7d659e74...
I too was experiencing odd/erratic pairing issues with DualSense controllers and this RTL8671B based dongle, and using the older firmware entirely fixed it. Now four controllers can be connected simultaneously without issue.

I've wondered if that's to make dealing with full disk backup/forensic collections/retention legal hold/etc easier: keep the official amount of end-user device storage to a minimum. And/or it forces the endpoint to depend on network/cloud storage, giving better business intelligence on what data is "hot".

Somewhat reminds me of a project out of IBM some years back: "Billy Goat" https://dominoweb.draco.res.ibm.com/reports/rz3609_revised.p... (bummer looks the site certificate expired a few days ago.. sign of the times for IBM, eh).

Another rough take with some orchestra music from Stellaris, of all things. Start the SpaceX video and 'Towards Utopia' at around the 2:21 mark https://youtu.be/887f76RXvdE?t=141

I replaced the Slack client with wee-slack [https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack]. It brings a much more "zen" experience to using Slack and better compliments my keyboard-centric desktop/workflow (e.g. clear all unread channel notifications? keybind! Jump between all the high priority/@mentioned notifications? keybind!) It also helps if you're expected to be available via Slack, since it can keep you showing "green" while you've actually been ignoring it.

It appears the short 'magic link' was along the lines of https://www[.]klm[.]nl/s/AbCdEf

Looks like support for S3 Express was merged in with version 1.30 just a few hours ago https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/pull/642

If you're on a distro which has migrated to pipewire+wireplumber, the available and active bluetooth profiles can be discovered with something like:
pw-dump | jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "PipeWire:Interface:Device" and .info.props."device.bus" == "bluetooth") | .info.params.Props, .info.params.PropInfo'

I experienced a similar sounding issue, but was able to decipher the blocked emerge output from portage to find that app-crypt/tpm2-tss-engine was blocking the whole system from getting onto openssl-3. Once I dropped tpm2-tss-engine, things went forward swimmingly. No other unmasking/masking of anything was needed.

Ooooh yes.. Fond memories of attending a few events that were hosted by Hurricane Electric on folding tables in some conference room annex of their data center. And the marvel of finally having an Ethernet connection to the Internet instead of dialup! I'm not sure I balanced "game time" with "download-all-the-things time" well enough.
