askchapo@hexbear.net•Would it be considered uhhhh wrong for me to staple my resume to the sandwich bag of some repeat customer guy who works in the IT department of a place that looks cool and ask if they're hiring?English
9·4 小时前I mean they could call my boss and tell them I’m being annoying but that seems unlikely :/
Other than embarrassing myself I suppose nothing
Although I think prolly most of these middle-class PMC DSA, etc treatlers would consider just having my job embarrassing…
If I can find the juice next time I deliver there I think I will try >w<

5·5 小时前Also ignore the fact I can’t think of any Linuxes in 1999 running Sys V init systems that didn’t also have a reboot binary :3

6·5 小时前You’re def right, especially for 1999 >w<
1999 Linuxes were all running on PC shitboxes stuffed in a dusty corner in an office somewhere with PATA hard dwives

13·5 小时前-sh: reboot: command not foundPOV it’s 1999 and u forgot u need to run
runlevel 6So u run it and u can hear several massive SCSI hard drives parking their heads one by one and spinning down like a jet engine shutting off before u hear a click and all the lights turn off and a second later they all turn back on with another click and the hard drives spin up again before they could fully finish spinning down

technology@hexbear.net•I set up a packet radio BBSEnglish
3·2 天前I’ve never heard of Reticulum, this looks cool!
Also, I’m trans and hate my voice, so digital modes are nice.
This is so real lol. I also have a lot of mic anxiety >w< also frankly (charitably)-a lot- of hams doing voice aren’t worth talking to >w<
Would rly like to see other local on-the-air social spaces in amateur radio than repeaters
I didn’t get enough sleep before work and I’m crashing hard rn but I saw your other msg and I will DM u :3

technology@hexbear.net•Kernel dev update, in case anyone was curiousEnglish
2·2 天前Just saw this, omg you’re the goat :3
This just reminded me I swapped one of these chips for some Zio WiFi Intel chip (secondhand, but yeh >w<) cuz I needed WiFi fast on BSD on my new laptop like a year or 2 ago and forgot about it >w<
I also got similarly horrible vibes from the Linux driver lol, I’m pretty sure it didn’t even work on the distros I tried it on for whatever reason (is this shit even upstreamed??)
Since I actually have hardware (somewhere around here…), if u want I might be open to collaborating…

technology@hexbear.net•I set up a packet radio BBSEnglish
6·2 天前I hope u get your wish, packet radio is so cool
It’s completely dead in my area :(. Even the last APRS repeater I could reach shut down like a year or 2 ago (maybe someone died :/). APRS is primitive garbage but it’s at least widely available, the last time a packet BBS was around my city was prolly like 3 decades ago
Modulation techniques and erasure codes and compression and more have become so much better in the last 20 years especially cuz of cell phones but amateur packet radio seems stuck in the past… It’s a little cwazy to me ppl (ancient Winlink boomers) are still doing plain 1970s ass AX.25 over HF to send e-mails to their buddies at 1 7-bit byte bauds per second to say literally “HELLO FROM MY HAM CAVE AGAIN FOR THE 1 BILLIONTH TIME Q467MN 73” or whatever tf and the only ppl “innovating” in this area are just spreading around microcontrollers with attached off-the-shelf, commercial, proprietary ISM band transceiver chips around them >w< (Meshtastic, which I like, to be clear)
Uhh uhh this is turning into an unsolicited rant but yeah :3
Also how is your kernel driver project going? I think I missed a reply from u, I have rly been lacking in spoons recently…

9·4 天前This is also kinda unrelated but has anyone else noticed the strangely powerful behaviorist nerd lobby on Wikipedia? Some of the articles are just fucking glazing >w<
I guess this would follow from his theories remaining very popular(?) in academia

Skinner a fucking monster (maybe “monster” is too strong cuz he rly has nothing on some of the other ppl in his field) whose actual productive contributions to psychology were overstated whenever they talked about him in school? (non-college or university school, see “commoner rube”, etc)
Also, look up “Walden Two” for a laugh lol

Oblivion is better than Skyrim and I was a Skyrim babyOblivion was clearly way too ambitious for them but Skyrim feels like the beginning of a continuing slide into mediocrity and being okay with it
I think this is why Oblivion jank is charming to ppl. They rly tried

Ranting to the guy, who has sweat forming on his brow, about how u actually can administer Windows™® Active Directory™®® domains with Unix using Samba but many ppl don’t seem to know this despite the very real exposure of running Windows literally anywhere important inside your organization while he hits the silent alarm for delivery drivers yapping too much next to the door over and over so security can haul me away and he can get back to his philosophical discussion over lunch with Claude
