Mikrotik is pretty decent but their configuration method drives me up a wall. Ansible helps mitigate the annoyance, at least (in that I only have to figure out/remember the arcane incantation for configuring VLANs once, and then subsequently just have the machine do it).

There are chipset design issues and there are firmware issues. The former is much more difficult to address quickly than the latter, sure.

Torvalds's point, though, is that hardware developers (Intel specifically) keep making changes that "fix" imaginary problems while screwing over compatibility, and trying to shift the onus of making it work to the volunteers who contribute to open source instead of just paying their engineers to produce working firmware.

If the problem were only with defective silicon, I'd agree with you (to an extent), but this is not really an issue with the circuits.

To add to this, spent fuel is over 90% recyclable. If the US were to instate a comprehensive recycling program like France has done, the spent fuel cache could be reduced to negligible amounts.

If it results in the nuclear plants remaining online and providing energy after the AI bubble pops, that doesn't seem so bad.

Fission is one of the cleanest energy sources we have today.

Well, at least the one star 😉

Which GPU do you have? I'm looking for an upgrade and those framerates make me drool.

So you're saying Rust is the TOOL of programming languages.

Point of clarification: DAC is copper, AOC is fiber.

A lot of 10G equipment will support 5G/2.5G SFPs as well, so it can still be beneficial to go 10G on the core equipment.

There's that awful dad joke that foggy was talking about; Use it as inspiration for your exasperated sigh.

Signing every message should have zero effect for people who don't use PGP; they'll just have a cryptic block of text at the bottom of the message you sent.

It's overkill to ship your pubkey with every email. Most people just publish to a trusted keyserver and call it a day since pretty much every client worth its salt can look up your pubkey directly.

One way they could increase the housing supply is by severely taxing corporate ownership of single-family homes (and possibly low-occupancy multi-family homes like duplexes).

Give it a grace period, say... 3 months (to cover the cases where a bank forecloses and is sole owner while the house is auctioned), then charge like 95% tax on market value every quarter.
