@bizindar @vxunderground @d4ve415 But Plan 9 is MIT licensed? I think it’s an interesting concept and it was fun to see it mentioned “in the wild” outside the context of specific OS nerdery. Sorry that permissively licensed software pissed in your cheerios or whatever, though.

@vxunderground @d4ve415 Plan 9 mentioned!

Last month: Management was pushing us to hit 100% AI adoption, so half the team was basically having casual chats with Claude just to boost AI usage metrics for performance reviews.

This month: Mandatory sessions on Copilot token optimization and reducing AI consumption.

My org moved from "use more AI" to "please stop using so much AI" in about two weeks. 😂

@MelodicHydra @WestlannWyvern I feel like I’ve gotten more than the difference in value out of the DCS F-14 since it launched in 2019. Lots of the visual improvements are making their way into the base module. Heatblur has the track record such that I didn’t even bat an eye over the preorder

@RSE_VB Actually I may be misremembering my history a bit and was thinking of Lexington after Coral Sea, but I did seem to remember (after checking myself on Wikipedia) that Yorktown remained afloat even after abandonment and was only finally done in by a Japanese submarine torpedo.

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@RSE_VB Reminds me of when they scuttled the Yorktown after the Battle of Midway; ended up being more complicated than “just have the destroyer fire a couple of torpedoes and that should do it.”

@WMcluskey @fandompulse @GeoGDF01 I guess fans of successful franchises shouldn’t get more of what made those franchises successful in the first place. How dumb is modern Hollywood?

@WMcluskey @StevenJBurns Those should have been the basis for the Actual Sequels, not that Disney slop.

@willie_lutz They can be miserable together this season after Myles flattens Purdy.

@WMcluskey @potatoslav @GeoGDF01 Ohio and Wisconsin, as well (where my German ancestors immigrated to).

@WMcluskey This is my new favorite sports stat

[Dan Connolly @danconnolly2016]

It's official. The Montreal Canadiens are out of the playoffs and my favorite stat holds for another year. A U.S. team has won the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup (Baltimore Stallions, 1995) more recently than a Canadian team has won the NHL's Stanley Cup (Montreal, 1993).

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@bryce_spalding I was afraid they'd find something in a play that looked obvious in real time.

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris Yeah I’m not sure that nvenc exists on FreeBSD; pretty sure it’s only for graphics acceleration (and whatever compute you can do with the card without CUDA). Glad the devfs stuff worked, at least.

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris (nobody cares about me, a FreeBSD user, I know)

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris And I get that they are trying to make it easier for the average "user"...but what if I'm a power user (and I don't use Linux)?

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris FWIW I just use the ffmpeg port. Works fine.

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris I know the VA-API accel works, because instead of choking out the host on CPU usage when it tries to transcode, overall load stays very low (and the video doesn't stutter) 🙃

[Jeff @UnixGeek82]

@psu_chris I don't remember where the "unhide" came from, but this is my complete devfs ruleset inside the jail:
