Say what you will about #AI, but in my humble opinion the AGENTS.md file is what CONTRIBUTING.md file should have been all along.

It amazes me how often the CONTRIBUTING.md file is overlooked for onboarding flesh and bone contributors, but people will write the most intricate AGENTS.md files that will explain every detail of their project down to the expected commit structure.

Anyone in Salt Lake City for #GOOD2026?

PSA for my #HPC cluster operators out there. A new CVE was announced for #MUNGE, a popular authentication mechanism used in #Slurm

We're at FOSDEM!

Does anyone here use the #Slurm `nss_slurm` extension?

I see in Slurm's documentation an example of how to enable the extension, but I can't find any examples of the referenced /etc/nss_slurm.conf file anywhere...

The source code of the extension seems to indicate that it is very simple file - e.g.

```
NodeName=<nodename>
SlurmdSpoolDir=<dir>
```

but I just want an example to ensure that my assumptions are correct 😅

I feel like in 10 years Computer Science /Business students will be studying the downfall of #github, and how it became the Sears of the tech industry
I feel like "budgetary framework" is a fancy way of saying "we want free beer"
