  • Systemd's Nuts and Bolts: A Visual Guide to Systemd

  • I don't think having a textual article auto-scrolled and voiced adds anything at all, and people who do want that can do it themselves, and have it set to their choice of accent, speed, etc.

    Video links tend to do worse than text links on Lemmy, so you'd probably have been better off all round just posting your original blog post.

  • Systemd's Nuts and Bolts: A Visual Guide to Systemd

  • This is just a bad text-to-speech reading of a Medium blog post.

    Edit: I see the author has satire in the list of tags, so perhaps if I'd stuck with it longer I'd find it's a joke...?

  • Canvas is Live! (Fediverse Pixel Placing Event)

  • I made a rubber duck for all your debugging needs:

  • TIL about the existence of the "Cannibal Snail", a species of snail described as a "fast and voracious predator" which eats other snails whole or sucks them out of their shells

  • That elongated, streamlined shell made me assume this was a joke or hoax at first.

  • i don't use arche btw

  • There’s Never Been a Better Time to Study Computer Science

  • Geoffrey Challen, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, plans to offer a new course this fall in which he will teach students to develop software “without writing, reading, debugging, or viewing a single line of code,” he told me.

    Is that meant to say reviewing? Either way, I can't see how this would lead to good results, even with a comprehensive test suite. Security? Scalability? Maintainability?

  • Scibot!

  • Have they taken out the AI generated papers? We know that training LLMs on LLM-generated text leads to an absolute collapse in quality, and we also know that AI has been showing up in papers so if they haven't, then this will be quite unreliable.

  • After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all

  • Figuring out how to solve a problem on an OS I’d used for a few weeks fortuitously solved a problem I’d created trying to solve a different problem on a different OS a few years ago. We learn by doing!

    I loved this bit, I think everyone in tech has a similar story of some kind.

  • The early days of Linux

  • Bah, I see this was already posted here a year ago - only two comments showed up when I searched for the url before posting!

  • Rhubarb martini

  • Sounds amazing, I'll have to keep an eye out for rhubarb amaro. Growing up, we had rhubarb growing in the garden, but I almost never taste it nowadays.

  • TIL Saint Lucia is the only country named after a woman.

  • Ériu, Banba and Fódla are from Lebor Gabála Érenn, Ireland's creation myth, and they each wanted the whole country named after them (and still can be, poetically). This is a mythologised history, not etymology.

    Also, downvoting someone you're debating with is extremely bad form.

  • TIL Saint Lucia is the only country named after a woman.

  • The names Ireland and Éire both derive from Old Irish Ériu, which in turn comes from Proto-Celtic ɸīweriyū meaning "fertile soil". The Classical Latin name for the island of Ireland, Ivernia, also comes from this same root

    Not sure why you're mentioning Ireland, did you think it was named after Kathy Ireland?

  • What's going on with the Systemd age verification stuff?

  • then unapproved by Lennart Poettering

    No, you've misunderstood, here is a quote from your own source:

    A merge request asking for this change to be repealed was struck down by Lennart

    It was a reversion that Poettering rejected, the PR stands.

  • TIL there is only one ocean.

  • Also, there's things like the Mediterranean that is much saltier than the Atlantic, despite plenty of water flowing back and forth. There's sealife that's only found in the Med, like the Mediterranean monk seal.

  • For users of Bcachefs, sorry your FS creator is currently doing a TempleOS

  • Anyone other young people into Retro Computing?

  • I think maintaining two accounts is sensible as servers/instances die all the time. I've got my subscriptions synchronised between this account and one on infosec.pub.

  • Anyone other young people into Retro Computing?

  • Vogager gives you a baby icon (the new account indicator), which makes you seem very young indeed

  • recharge time

  • Yeah, this is most wholesome and relatable thing I've seen on Lemmy for ages

  • People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage.

  • Also there's the style of delivery - old acting used to be very exaggerated and hammy, then there's the kind of flawless but somewhat natural style that OP is talking about, through to today's more realistic "mumbling" style that everyone complains about.

  • 2026-01-14: The Day the telnet Died

  • Bad news on the backboneI couldn't scan a single ASN

    I'm trying to figure out what pronunciation or accent the author uses to have this rhyme. A heavy South African accent, so backbone is more like "berckben"? Pronouncing ASN as "a-sone"?
