I had my electrician pull the CAT6A in my current place, but then I terminated it all myself.

A gnu screen session hosting an irc client so I can stay connected.

One of the reasons that all this stuff goes in its own IOT crap VLAN in my house.

I work on game servers. I can only dream of such an IPC, but it doesn’t stop me trying, heh.

P7 at Activision. Never had the problem of not enough problems to solve. I always have a priority queue of things to work on!

I find most models generate what I would consider not ideal C++, especially in a vacuum. However, I’ve found recently it’s very good at porting existing code, as it’s largely just moving code around that I’d written previously. I had it take a Linux build system and port I had implemented on a more recent project and apply it to a much older release of that project; it executed it more or less flawlessly. It’s also pretty good at debugging, as it can spam the debug loop _much_ faster than a human can.

I keep a Starlink subscription as my WAN2, after someone started a fire in a nearby fiber cabinet and managed to knock out Frontier and Spectrum at once. It’s worth it to me as a bullet-proof WAN2, especially working from home.

Can confirm, we have a team dedicated to the care and feeding of p4.

Yamaha also made top-end archery gear for quite a while. Infamous for metric threads when nearly everything else used imperial.

Same; typing this on the same Drop CTRL keyboard I got when it launched.

My first job out of university was at IBM wrangling a prototype some research PHDs had written into a shipping product, and.. yeah, this tracks.

12 year old me watched this movie and immediately went out and bought colored floppy disks so I too could hack the planet. Simpler times.

Only time I have ever been shouted at by personnel in an airport was at JFK.

Us video game folks are big fans of LTO, PGO, FDO, etc.

Related, to this day my Frontier connection black holes all my traffic a couple of hops inside their network if I do sustained line-rate UDP (WireGuard, for example) for more then three or four minutes. After some LinkedIn sleuthing I got in touch with their local NOC director who tells me it’s some piece of gear that hangs so bad he can’t remote into it and it stays down until the watchdog fires. Been that way for two years now.
