Dr. Bruce SimpsonI had already started a company sign-in with my real details from checking out some Alveo FPGA stuff. It's totally "AI"-pilled, I just want CPU docs... I was then patterned into signing up separately for devcloud which requires a separate signup, so I've been tricked into signing up for two sites full of promotional garbage which seems to be more about selling training courses, cloud compute, and overpriced TPUs.
I smell another big fat UK ICO GDPR Right to Erasure action coming on.
otheorange_tag@DianeBruce Does bsd have /dev/fb0 access? some kind of quick shared access for 15,000 clients all scribbling? I can do this on linux but it literally takes 10s of hours to coerce linux to not drop to 4 frames/sec and keep it up to 60-1000 frames/sec

New post: Monitoring our FreeBSD Mastodon instance.
burningboard.net runs as a stack of Bastille jails on FreeBSD, so I watch it from a separate box with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki. The interesting part is the FreeBSD-shaped gaps: no native ZFS metrics, nothing for the Mastodon API or our S3 media bucket. A small textfile collector fills all of it.
This is how I keep an eye on the very instance I'm writing this on:

@DianeBruce Thanks for letting me know. The original image in the post has alt text, but the automated system that posts a toot somehow omitted it. I'll look into it. Meanwhile, the image here now has alt text.
One of the disadvantages of being a local for BSDCan is the transit in this city. I carrying photography gear each way and end up too tired at the end of the day to stay around much. Used to be one bus from a short walk from home to right in front of DesMarais. Now it's two trips and a longish walk each way.
I am considering biting the bullet and paying for some parking next year although I am in favour of transit.

Pause AI in BC Schools"We need to teach them to use it ethically."
It is built on stolen data, it is not possible to use ethically.
"If we don't, they'll just use worse tools at home anyway."
So if students use drugs at home, you give them clean drugs at school? If they cheat at home, you let them cheat in school?
