As someone that works writing firmware for SAS devices… it’s happened all too many times

I’ve got 3D pipes running on my spare Win10 machine :) fills me with nostalgia every time I see it, even still

:( I miss old country buffet… wave of nostalgia right there

I started with C++ too, and then ended up finding a job writing firmware pretty much all in C. There really hasn’t been anything we’ve run into that’s made us consider switching to C++; being able to (and needing to) have complete control over your memory means you can do some pretty fancy stuff with the tiny amounts of memory on our ASICs.

We’ve been eyeballing switching to rust a little bit, but really only for other applications; the root of our main code base is over 25 years old at this point and a rewrite would take a Herculean effort.

Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either

Sometimes when I have a great idea but am in bed and about to fall asleep, and don’t want to take out my phone and wake myself up, I’ll grab something off of my nightstand and yeet it into the middle of the floor with the idea in my head, so the next morning I’ll wake up and see the thing and remember my idea… works surprisingly well!

ELI5 what does this mean for the average Linux user? I run a few Ubuntu 22.04 systems (yeah yeah, I know, canonical schmanonical) - but they aren’t bleeding edge, so they shouldn’t exhibit this vulnerability, right?

Doesn’t look like they’re pulling off of anything to me… just looks like diagonal nails

Love that color!

Yeah… I realized that after I typed out my comment. Especially w/ F1 and all

Red Bull should stick to energy drinks…

You just had to tell us, didn’t you? /s, and that’s good news on the second point

I mean, if you’ve already got an Unraid server, why not just throw together a network drive and just mount that in whatever distro you’re using at the moment?

Where is it? Give it to me now

Freak out and force-power-down your PC, and never accidentally open vim again

Not sure because I use TestFlight but I believe it’s because they pushed a huge app update today. They pushed it for TestFlight a week or two back and it logged me out then as well.

Quick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

I’ll make sure to give the firewall a shot, then - I couldn’t explain it for the life of me but for whatever reason it’s always just gone straight over my head. Not like it’s too complex or anything… just a lack of willingness to learn! But that is changing :)

And it’s a Supermicro blade - I’ve already set up IPMI LOM! One of my favorite tools. I do a decent amount of sysadmin stuff at work, and we actually use somewhat similar servers - so luckily, I know what I’m doing there. But at work, IT does all of the firewall setup and everything for us, because we’re on one huge VPN - so I don’t ever have to worry about (or learn) security. Which explains some of why I don’t know it yet.
