You’d be surprised who is running LXD at scale. OVH is one big name.

It’s been a while, but configuring their hardware manually in 2016 was bug ridden ridiculousness. Awful UI/UX. Their own techs had specific field notebooks for our make and firmware version that we couldn’t access unless persuaded, detailing various land mines to avoid while working. Literal “don’t click these things in this order” kinds of notes.

A critical security firmware update once brought down redundant pair of firewalls we used because the bug didn’t manifest until a counter buffer overflowed months after application. Three hours into the outage the tech power cycles the thing and our services came back to life.

Cisco is only doing this because some other alternative is more expensive. They had more than a decade to get started.

Okay, the special dot choices are pretty pretttttty nify!

This font renders like trash on my 9 year old widescreen, but I am sure it will look gorgeous on a MBP display. Guess I found my excuse to upgrade!

DHH and team are writing Omarchy components in Rust when possible. I was playing on that in my now downvoted comment.

Obviously Omarchy's kernel, Wayland, and the Hyprland compositor are not Rust and work just fine. If you've seen any of DDH's public speaking, he's willing to burn tokens to Rust all the things, don't tempt him! That was the joke, people.

I am pleasantly surprised to be daily driving Omarchy with minimal friction, by the way. For a relatively new Linux OS, this is no small feat.

Don't tempt DHH. Omarchy works WAY better than expected, and made my 2017 MBP very usable again.

This is exactly what the ad network is meant to do, and their ability to monetize this ability means competitor's ads (like meta) become less valuable.

An awful take from someone who clearly hasn’t studied California itself.

Around 17% of CA residents live below the poverty line, which means MILLIONS of adults that are not students. Elderly are a significant chunk of that number.

This is the answer.

No one has to answer for an obviously dangerous risk, not even the company? Ship it!!!!!

It fuels the “look how the government sucks at doing its job, vote for us to “fix” the government” narrative for whoever they are propping up with money and bot farms.

Any disruption is an opportunity to inject corruption.

Quick show of hands: who would use this to help with cooking hands free or FaceTiming people while doing dishes?

What are the benchmarks compared to other tools of equal or similar function in this category? How is Minigraf different than Kùzu or CozoDB?

This. Learn all the knobs and dials, too. Useful performance gains to be made by tuning the right settings.

Spa World in Osaka is also worth a visit if you're in the area. For reasons beyond my understanding, Osaka happens to have _several_ bars serving ridiculously good absinthe cocktails.
