DevOps/Sys/Platform Engineering, open source software.

I like using and building with cool tech.

Thoughts are my own.

the new meta is getting people to pay for your product so that they can help build your product to pay for your product in more ways

Just told GPT-5.5 to port and compile the codex app to Linux.

1. WTF. It actually worked.

2. WTF. That thing is incredible.

@FelixCLC_ I guess they too are GPU poor :(

Here is a tl;dr of the Jensen interview 👇

It's crazy how much Linux is a part of my identity. I've been using WSL2 for the past year and I feel the constant need to tell people that I'm not really a windows user and I'm really a Linux person.

Google has an internal "let it break" essay about a hero engineer whose hard work ends up being a net negative (by masking the underlying issues). My manager sent me that essay when I was trying too hard to get the collective TensorFlow unit test suite green.

@TechnoTimLive Haven't tested it on the Pi5 but I did this for Pi4 a while back and in theory it should work: https://t.co/9I38W051A6

Uses MAAS and a Pi UEFI firmware to achieve reliable dynamic provisioning

I think this year's big project will be rebuilding a car. I don't know much about them, but it's time to learn

The org. running the South African Computer Olympiad made a financial decision to shut it down..

So we bought it from them¹.

The Olympiads will run as normal in 2026 (and hopefully, we will make 'em run even better going forward).

Registration for 2026 is Open (https://t.co/cSorXcAKaf)

Announcements like these make me feel like a kid again. Amazing 😭

This is Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a single player narrative-driven action RPG and spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Working on KOTOR was a defining experience of my career. This is a dream come true for me and our team of incredible storytellers and game makers @ArcanautStudios.

[eugene @edebeste]

Please... please let this be true 😭

[Star Wars Holocron @sw_holocron]

A full remake of KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II with “modern gameplay” and “an improved ending” is reportedly in the works

Usually we lag behind the US market a bit for obvious reasons, but these DDR5 memory prices were on us QUICK. Was spec'ing a NAS server build and forced to go DDR4 😅

I feel like one of the reasons I've stuck with music streaming instead of buying is for things like discovery. Spotify discovery has been so good for finding new music I love. Is there any way to get that outside of music streaming?

[eugene @edebeste]

I heard that Clause can generate PowerPoint slides now, but when I tried it it claims it can't...

I've resorted to having Claude give me a python-pptx script instead to generate the pptx locally.

Anyone out there have success in getting a .pptx file directly out of Claude web?

@FelixCLC_ Holy cow didn't realise how serious it was for you. I thought I had it bad, but clearly I'm playing in easy mode. I do hope some of that works out for you though. Kitties are such amazing pets I hope you get to have a good experience with your own 😭

[eugene @edebeste]

@FelixCLC_ Can't you just have antihistamines on deck? Or is it too serious for that? I am allergic too and have some strong antihistamines that get me through it with my cats. If not, that's truly an injustice

@mov_axbx I'm assuming this is composable computing via CXL via PCIe. Pretty neat stuff. Saw some CXL related stuff stuff SC23 a while back and was very amazed by the possibilities
