Bought a 512GB Samsung OEM SSD from AliExpress, installed it in a Broadwell Xeon system, fwupdmgr notified me that I have a Dell firmware upgrade for the SSD available from LVFS. Installed it, works perfectly still.

Bought a thing I probably don't need for reasons that are still unclear to me, but it does appear to work

Might be trying playing Silksong on my laptop on the train, I am new to this genre of games and I hear it is brutally hard, should be interesting

Something I think I see a lot in what I assume is AI generated twatwaffle is constructions like "it's not (just) _____, it's ______". Not sure if it's actually meaningful or if I am seeing a pattern that doesn't exist because I am already biased against the AI generated crap.

Rebooting (sometimes several times) to apply updates is fucking obnoxious. I want to actually use my computer, not watch it update itself.

Made myself a WiFi to Ethernet bridge using OpenWrt and EoIP talking to a RouterOS device, seems to function at the very least.

Was going to use one of my home servers to render a 40000 by 40000 block Minecraft map using Minecraft Overviewer, was going to take 36 hours, and made the server use 280 watts with a processor temp of 78 deg C. Think I won't be letting that complete.

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove?

and what constitutes a "shove"?

and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing?

Apparently SR-IOV does not work though those PCIe switches used to attach multiple NVME drives when your motherboard does not support bifurcation.

The motherboard NVME slot worked fine.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.

It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

Got mediamtx working on a RockPi SBC the other day, worked quite nicely, seems like a good tool for attaching remote webcams to Zoneminder

This is bullshit and the police should be ashamed of themselves.

"Gang insignia" has an actual meaning in law, and I think it seems very unlikely this logo meets that definition.
Twelve-year-old stopped by police for wearing a boxing club shirt
Officers took the shirt from the boy and said it was in breach of gang insignia law — an allegation the club denied.
