Last year while walking in Surrey I stumbled upon an empty film set complete with fake snow, cannons and dummy body parts/horses heads etc. Turns out it's a Napoleon film and it gets released soon

@jens i find it strange that you would consider defederating from a 20k user instance to be a measured response, to the fact that 2 users did not receive comms that they were limited (not blocked). Part of the issue seems to be to be a technical one of how notifications are delivered

If #AI is so good, why isn't there a feature to automatically decline and delete any work invitations I am sent that include the words "lunch and learn"?

"Any long running #TV series eventually has a wild west episode". Dr who, red dwarf, star trek, family guy, etc. Is there a name for this rule?

What a nightmare. I was trying to fix a jittery touchpad by switching from libinput to synaptics (known good). Wan't getting very far so far removed the libinput package. Upon reboot the keyboard didn't work. I couldn't get past the login screen.Solution: boot a live USB and re-download the necessary .deb files, and put them in my home dir. Boot to recovery mode and install them with dpkg. I make it sound easy but i was faffing around for half an hour before i had a working solution.

@penguin42 recovery/console mode wouldn't bring up networking. so live usb was my saviour, as you mention.

@cablespaghetti they are quite heavy but if you are lifting alone then you might be able to remove the batteries to reduce weight

@boilingsteam @popey since mastodon isn't an issue tracker, I would suggest raising this as a constructive discussion topic with suitable details on https://github.com/orgs/ublue-os/discussions/categories/bluefin

Nvidia Mellanox networking, Nvidia H100 GPU and Nvidia ARM grace hopper chip. No wonder #Nvidia wanted to buy #ARM too

Any #infosec people know if botnets specifically of GPU servers are a thing? Based on what I'm looking at, I assume they are. Are they used for crypto, password cracking , or something else?

@GossiTheDog about 20 years ago, Google introduced the option to press down arrow and match recent searches in the Google search box. I let a crafty colleague type into my browser momentarily and within a nanosecond, he tried to catch me out by typing the start of a smutty search query to see if there were any matches. I passed the test but learned a lesson about the speed at which someone could reveal something about you.

@stfn I like this feature. I wish it was easier to filter future occurrences of certain words from the timeline interface though, rather than going into the unwieldy settings menu

Nobody got fired for buying #Microsoft and #Crowdstrike ...that's because the HR systems are down.

#CrowdStrike Microsoft says "as many as 15 reboots may be required"...
