If they release them with a fully open driver that supports standard APIs (OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan) and release low-level documentation then NVidia's proprietary trash will become redundant. Even better if they design them to be simple on a low-level so any programmer can just write their own driver/API/compiler. That would upset current software monopolies and the world would become a better place.

COW filesystems like BTRFS/ZFS with btrbk/sanoid are great for this. Only the initial copy may take a while, but after that it only takes the delta between the source and the destination to synchronize. On my main Server I have the OS on a single drive with BTRFS and all the actual data lives on a 4 disk zpool in raidz2. I have cron jobs set up to do hourly snapshots on both and I keep about a week worth of history. The BTRFS one gets synced to an external drive every 24 hours, while the zpool gets synced to another external 4 disk zpool on a weekly basis.

Next their VPS expires and the instance disappears completely. (I hope not). Reminder to any sysadmin to do regular off-site backups in case something like that happens.

Anyone who runs their own DNS can just add a record to their config (for example in unbound):

local-data-ptr: "37.187.73.130 hexbear.net"
local-data: "hexbear.net A 37.187.73.130"

RIP. It will be a miracle if they can get that domain back.

Interesting feature, I had no idea. I just verified this with gcc and indeed the return register is always set to 0 before returning unless otherwise specified.

int main(void)
{
    int foo = 10;
}

push   %rbp
mov    %rsp,%rbp
movl   $0xa,-0x4(%rbp) # Move 10 to stack variable
mov    $0x0,%eax       # Return 0
pop    %rbp
ret

int main(void)
{
    int foo = 10;
    return foo;
}

push   %rbp
mov    %rsp,%rbp
movl   $0xa,-0x4(%rbp) # Move 10 to stack variable
mov    -0x4(%rbp),%eax # Return foo
pop    %rbp
ret

What a load of bloat. NetBSD has a whole guide on diskless booting various machines, none of this shit is new.

If you look closely on the table near the bottom edge is a red cat.

I saw that earlier today! I already followed them.

Only more reason to move to the fediverse.

Destroy every US satellite in orbit and make them rain down on Washington.

Certainly feels like it. I keep seeing subreddits turn into massive hiveminds overnight. One day everything looks normal, next day something big happens and suddenly a majority of users will parrot basically the same talking points (even in threads where they are off-topic) and act extremely aggressive towards anyone who goes against the grain.
