I'm a systems engineer, and not even a good one.

I'm on the fediverse to have fun. So, if what you want to discuss with me is superficial, or boring, don't waste your time.

The LOL;) is the most important thing, down here.

A me piace la Happy Cola!

Contiene anche erbe, che non sono male.

Parentesi: In repubblica Ceca si beve la Kofola, che cazzo è buona! Inoltre ha poco zucchero rispetto alla Cola occidentale.

In ogni caso, voto anch'io per birra. Del vino decente ha davvero prezzi fuori di testa.

GMail:

"Be careful with this message.
This message appears to be sent from your account but Gmail couldn't verify this. Someone might be impersonating your account. If you're not sure the message is from you, use caution when clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information."

I sent it while logged in to GMail using multiple authentication steps from my home network using a secure laptop. What are they talking about? Serious question: how could they not verify it? It's either an idiotic engineering problem on their end or I'm terrified that security is meaningless. Probably both.

Holy cow, as an American, I wasn't aware of the Horizon IT scandal. ~1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, imprisoned, and forced to repay tens of thousands of pounds. 13 of them committed suicide! But it was an IT error! AI will make this worse.

Ok a stopgap solution

My website (and blog) ia back online at:

https://www.abiscuola.com

I did it because breaking people links if they reference your content is never nice.

So, as a good internet kid, the site is back up in a strictly static fashion.

I will not add new content to it for now and also, currently the RSS feed is no more, but given you'll not see articles for a bit, you're not gonna lose your sleep, right?

I'm working on a new project that'll host everything in the future, that's why I don't have time to write.

Plus, ehhhhh....

Crappy mouses are a pain.

I've spent, years ago, some good money on an evoluent vertical mouse 4.

Best money spent ever.

I used to also have some minor pain due to the mouse, but I noticed that it was because:

  • The mouse was always too small.
  • The wrist was pushing down the table, causing pressure on the carpal region.

Buying a good vertical mouse, rightly sized along with a good keyboard made miracles
for me.

engadget article: 

OpenAl's own web browser could arrive within weeks

The company is reportedly aiming to vacuum up more
data from its users.


OpenAl is said to be almost ready to unleash its own web browser, which could be out in the wild within weeks. According to Reuters sources, the company is aiming to more deeply integrate its services into users’ work and personal lives, and the browser is part of that strategy (as is its push into hardware). Naturally, the browser is slated to have a ChatGPT-style chatbot baked in.

OpenAl is reportedly looking to use the browser to capture more user data — a strategy that has worked out to Google's benefit with Chrome.

Darei ancora oggi un braccio per poter scrivere, su un tema di italiano, una frase simile a questa: «In questo capitolo, Manzoni allunga il brodo solo per vendere più pagine. Non serve assolutamente a nulla quello che scrive, né ha un senso particolare.» Ma, naturalmente, non si poteva. E Manzoni – sia chiaro – continuava ad allungare il brodo — più di una qualsiasi serie Netflix senza idee.

Ti eri reincarnato temporaneamente in me quando andavo a scuola e non me ne sono accorto?

Io amavo scrivere già all'ITIS, ma proprio questo modo di fare mi ha fatto odiare la letteratura.

Ricordo ancora in quarta un dialogo con la prof di italiano (avevo già un carattere di merda):

LEI: "Scrivi da Dio, perché non fai il tema di letteratura?"
IO: "Cosa, per ripetere quello che scrivono altri sull'antologia? Manco morto."
LEI: "Fallo, perfavore."
IO: "Noooooooooo"
LEI: "Ti metto due se non lo fai".
IO: "Ma Dio...."

La accontentai, feci il tema di letteratura, direttamente in bella copia e sbattendomene del libro.

Mi diede 8.

io son convinto che mi diede quel voto per incoraggiarmi.

Feci poi altri temi di letteratura?

Manco per il cazzo!

Sono convintissimo che i miei risultati scolastici sarebbero stati molto migliori in una scuola Montessori.

Personalmente, sono guidato dalla curiosità e dalla ragione. Dirmi "fai perché sí" è il modo migliore per distruggere ogni mia motivazione.

"Hi Stefan, [...] I tested E810 on #FreeBSD, it does ~6.4 Gbe out of the box, which is slower than ~10Gbe on #OpenBSD. Great work!"

Huh?!?

This confirms it. Our universe is currently upside-down.
