@chx I love that story https://t.co/6ZQNiXImYG

@specialjesse definitely MFA / 2FA alllll day long

@iokiwi @1Password @KeePassXC well, sort of, the best long term method is for this to be more or less automatic -- no passwords at all

@Brothernod an excellent point! The pin is *usually* a kind of second factor

@specialjesse not sure, but you have to assume it's a bad one (very fast to calculate) for safety. The image is watermarked if you want to dig through to sources.

@chx god bless the people fighting the good fight in those discussions. I hope you brought your, er.. therapist?

@Pinboard .. which is why everyone should have a recurring monthly donation set up to The Internet Archive! https://t.co/gcF4syRaBp

@Supermathie @DrPimplePopper ok just, no

@FanlessTech nice. is anyone doing modern AMD fanless mini-pcs?

@jessfraz this is a very satisfying video

@jhaygood86 here in the US that'd require enforcement, like with a uniformed officer, probably carrying a loaded gun, because of Rugged Individualism™

@luis_a_espinal @AntoineBou not saying it's right or wrong, just not common in some countries, while common in other countries. same could be said for handshakes!

@jhaygood86 what's the safe way to run a buffet? I'm curious

@AntoineBou this was a cultural thing in only some countries, thank goodness

@schiefewelt ⁉

@Ted_Spence we need to find benchmarks and stuff though. graphs. data.

what's also funny, and very *very* meta, is my 2012 post to the Straight Dope forums proposing that we build new, better forum software, was preserved in the migration: https://t.co/yL24pjoMKl

@Ted_Spence that's.. a very good question. Let us google it!

@mstum ehh 10 Gbps is a *lot*. I'm fine with 2.5 Gbps for now. There's an interesting merge coming with USB 4 as well.

@mrcbergamin 😱📶

@rands you saw the recent HBO documentary, yeah? So good! https://t.co/KIhsge0OqZ

@hexalys @chx These are both excellent and rarely known options, thank you!

@MilanGriffes @vcstarterkit https://t.co/sM9XaWpSqK

@MilanGriffes also worth considering the help vampires out there

@scottwasson frippin' blue leds.. still a problem https://t.co/obai4SlQG2

@chx @hexalys sooo as long as the GPU (I have to have a GPU, I don't think AMD chips have a built in GPU do they?) can go in the *second* slot, the first slot could have the four m.2 SSDs?

@chx @hexalys https://t.co/JHwkVAFHq8

@chx @hexalys https://t.co/m7YOAVpBIj

@chx @hexalys it's gonna be this one.. how can I tell? ASUS TUF X570+ https://t.co/cTubbJGWpu

but seriously, the best thing I can say about SharePoint is that .. it isn't Lotus Notes. https://t.co/WkcKmxsrJU

"how did all this talk about simplicity yield a product that even Teper himself acknowledges is quite ambitious and complex?" https://t.co/VgTN4bcgpf

@chx @hexalys I have landed on https://t.co/gvfViaxeHg as the solution to most of my problems, plus AMD, since they don't lock "enterprisey" stuff like PCI bandwidth and ECC behind an expensive Xeon badge

"the whole way that people think about information sharing, both within the company and outside the company, I think will be reshaped by the SharePoint platform" https://t.co/l6ZyLotps5

@andrenaleen also https://t.co/Mhe0YLMVhJ

@andrenaleen I looked at tiktok recently and I had my fill! https://t.co/orB0XUCkHm

@chx @hexalys well, I've also found that neither USB3.2 nor Thunderbolt can sustain Chia farm plotting, which is super intense reading/writing, ending in a ~104gb file. No idea why but my success rate with external drives is literally 0% for this particular task. Oh well.

@chx @hexalys hmm, does anyone sell that as enclosure-only?

@hexalys looks like 1.6gb/sec is accurate! https://t.co/vV2AdRaOqF

@hexalys oh, is it limited? where's the docs on that? 1.6GB/sec should still be pretty solid

@TheReedyBear that's why I asked!

@DocPop oooo funfetti! 🎉

@sclarson TOO LATE!

@Pinboard everyone knew The Hammer and the Dance was a catchy club tune, best appreciated on the dance floor, surrounded by a teeming throng https://t.co/VDQlCejZ4A

@dehora I just wanted to get a sense of where things are..

@zitterbewegung @AMDServer wow $787.50!

@jeremycole @OleenaNatiras ok, looks like 64gb DDR4 is $367? https://t.co/rkV4kSetJl 8 of those would be $2,936 as a base.

@Luke_s_Crawford @Hikari_Sasaki yeah, it's fair!

@krenaud 👏 it's rare that I see a good 640kb ram joke these days, but this one passes muster. kudos!

@jeremycole @OleenaNatiras very good, what's the *cheapest* option, I guess it is about the 8 DIMMs slots.. or 16 slots though perhaps only server builds would have that?

@jkampman yeah, that's what I need. Is there a lower-end version with 8 RAM slots?

@zitterbewegung @AMDServer "Up to 512GB ECC Registered, DDR4-2666 MHz SDRAM in 4 x DIMMs" that means the DIMMs would need to be 128GB.. do such 128gb DIMMs exist? would be easier with an EPYC mobo that has 8 DIMM slots instead of 4.

@Hikari_Sasaki it's a good idea but I worry about noise.

clarification, I *really* mean build. Not cloud.

@jwz Not All People

@sachasayan @susanthesquark yeah, I suppose if they have really good hygiene systems, not sure exactly how that would work

@susanthesquark buffets. Buffets all day long. NO WAY those are coming back, and thank god. https://t.co/H7fnwAq203

@lizardbill how.. what? more revenue comes in, 7+ years later?

since that ebay auction will be gone (forever, pretty much, not sure why eBay throws away history permanently like that) in a year .. here's a pic https://t.co/wsmtOXG9BE

@zeropage_game @nedbat 🤩

@scottwasson ohhh they're testing.. Chia writes a ton to drives as part of the "proof of stake" during creation of farm plots. But they are also taking manufacturer's claims at face value which you should never do. I don't think they ever saw that article.

One thing this reminded me of is the most excellent Tech Report endurance experiment: https://t.co/tQEQ1lwlvU .. looks like 800TB of writes will definitely kill a 250GB drive. Do you think things have improved since then or gotten worse @scottwasson ?

@jwz turns out, people like money

@anabelsbrother @DocPop noooooooooo cursed image in my timeline

@shimfish welcome to da club! 🙌

@cwagdev https://t.co/pbSHodzIy6

@siracusa @cabel 😱

@itenginerd @joshk @altosvc @Roblox I honestly can't make sense of it

@tropicadri @__apf__ I was trying to remember the mini-keyboards (keypads?) with little screens, it is the streamdeck https://t.co/zy0FdZ8wtH quite a bit more expensive, but.. fancy 🌟

@tropicadri @__apf__ I love these mini-keyboards!! They also have fancier ones with little LEDs in each key https://t.co/cSZo0JhUrL

@mathowie yeah it's quite nuanced.. I hear what you're saying, I just want to advocate for an in-between here. I've been in the "assume everyone is evil" space and it nearly killed me

@lizardbill I think Reddit has done a substantially better job of policing itself over time. There's still a ways to go, but the trend is good.

@betsyphd there is a song to be make here substituting "starbread" for "dayman" https://t.co/m38IKrIqSe

@mathowie I don't agree with this but I have zero appetite to debate it. I'll just say that "assume everyone is evil" is an absolutely soul destroying way to go through life and I heartily recommend NOT doing that.

@mathowie "Assume everyone is evil" is a soul destroying way to go through life, and NOT the same as "assume a small percentage of people will be evil". But, I agree with part of what you're saying: https://t.co/LK6UNXgcE5

@joshk @altosvc @Roblox yes, our two daughters are immersed deep in Roblox culture. It is a special kind of kid-created crazy that kids instantly recognize and respond to.

@asdfdelta 🙌

@Pinboard I need you writing blog explainers for all this, please

@HenryGessau more serious than "created bittorrent"?

@tobermatt it dates back to 2018! https://t.co/Wne5wOGfvQ

@banffchris cool, thank you, I will fix it!

@mattblaze "it sounds just like FB" is correct... they are so completely and utterly amoral.

@ZackMaril @eugenewei @danluu dang the one embedded tiktok after-watching feed is super .. er .. porny :( https://t.co/tqadOSqdno

And now, for your moment of zen https://t.co/DMp4pOVTiZ

@ftrain @deadprogrammer was in NYC in the thick of it (in every sense) and he told me about the sirens..

@emoRobot right -- https://t.co/Yge64JCLDB

@zeynep Yeah, my hope is that masking is way less "weird" to americans than it was in 2019. And it certainly helps put a focus on the general importance of having healthcare for everyone..

@zeynep warts and all, still many orders of magnitude more useful than the US response to 9/11. There *will* be more viruses, more pandemics, so this is a useful fire drill to train for those. One example: masking is far, far more normalized than ever before.

@Beschizza I had to look up what "r-word" meant, but yeah, that's one to avoid

@textfiles was.. was.. this screenshot taken on a commodore 64

@joshprismon oh yeah, true, but sooo kludgey

@realnzall @faxlore good luck finding one to buy though :/

damn, here in 2021 Intel's *still* releasing new versions of Skylake?! https://t.co/07sw0UOp9u

@koblas yeah it's pro domain squatter software I think

@DocPop love the side entrance! 💨

@textfiles Fuckin' Sonny Bono.

@sh4na @sunheadgames yes, our 9 year old daughter looooved Carto! We did get stuck a few places but overall a fun and beautiful game

@t3db0t @mcsee1 well, it's a goal, a shining statue on the hill. the goal is to move closer every day

@ShortFormErnie @Beschizza can they be hackintoshed reliably? we bought a few for @discourse folks but hackintoshes became difficult to support over time.. any links?

@Beschizza @ShortFormErnie yeah blog what you find! This is a fun space. I personally love the "super powered NUCs", e.g. https://t.co/0X7h3jk2Cg -- I have 3 Phantom Canyons on order.. they are like my Pet Rocks..
