OSI model != OSI protocols

CLNS is not a pre-requisite for Layer 3.

Neither TCP, UDP, nor IP, is involved.

TCP/IP model is Limited and incomplete.

Fibrechannel, infiniband, and many RDMA protocols, just to make a few, don’t fit in the TCP/IP model, while the OSI model fits them just fine.

I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It’s just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.

This is just phrenology with extra steps

Is there any info regarding how old this data is?

To be fair, the github.cum/author/project/releases subsection of a isn’t exactly the first thing that you find, nor is there a very visible link that stands out.

I must’ve stumbled across it at some point as I know of its existence, but I don’t know how to get there so I usually just manually add it to the URL.

One of the first games that went through my CD burner on its way to the seven seas.

Excellent game with and awesome soundtrack.

My previous job needed this sign. The problem was that so many (thought they) needed access to various hardware for various reasons, that it was hard to enforce anything. Too often someone would come along and “You know what, this particular thing would work if I just connect this over here”.

Sure, things kept working, but as the company grew from an office of 10 people to 100 people, it ended up so messy that nobody could troubleshoot anything, and no diagrams or cable lists matched reality. And this server room was supporting remote field operations where downtime could cost millions per day.

It got to the point where my coworker and VP IT went over to the building manager and simply blocked ALL access. Nobodys card would work unless they really needed it and they’d be given an intro on proper rack hygiene. I joined around this time, and one of my first tasks was to help tear out almost everything and rewire it from scratch during a few days of scheduled downtime.

After cleanup was done there was a pile on the floor with several kilometers of leftover cabling. Most of the spaghetti had been replaced by proper use of VLANs, and this way it was easy to let Server A talk to Toaster B by just remotely opening a route between the two instead of adding another cable.

That room wasn’t really part of my job, as I mostly dealt with field hardware. But I had a router stack there that was mine, so I got to keep my access. Rarely needed it, though.

Funny thing is, about a year later the company moved to a different building. When moving was close to finished and our lease was officially out, my card somehow still worked. So VP IT needed me to let him in the day we tore out the final bit of hardware.

My guess is that it was down to the fact that my access card needs didn’t really fit any of the standard “profiles” in that I needed access to the server room, the manufacturing lab, and storage, but not the usual stuff such as cantina and most of the office floors. I mostly worked from home or in the field.

The reason why HL3 is not out yet is because valve is waiting for consumer adoption of 10TB drives

Using Grok to develop Grok… This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.

I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.

The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.

Yup. In addition to the above, “When I spend a Saturday evening adding a shitty perl hack to fix a critical system flaw in production”, it can be illustrated by a UN emergency food drop. It may be 99% rice, but it’ll keep you from starving and it’ll have to do for now.
