@asrg This is relevant to your mission, but at the same time suspicious due to the author, who is a major player in the current LLM glut.
10x productivity improvements by #AI were already discussed and dismissed in 1986 - and also in 2025 with all the #AIHype, things still do not look very promising. I looked into Fred Brooks essay "No silver bullet" to learn why.
#GenerativeAI #AIBubble
I wrote about my reaction to the #ai #llm flood. In short: I'm not participating, but waiting to see what happens. There are also increasing signs that the bubble will soon burst—which would probably be the best outcome for everyone.

So you hit enter too fast after the dreaded `rm -rf` in the wrong directory but, of course, your backup saved the day. … No? Don't panic; you are not alone and there are tools which can help you out on #filesystem level. In my case, it was `btrfs-undelete`, but there are similar programs for Ext4. Data recovery is cumbersome and time-consuming, but not impossible. And next time, backup, backup, #backup !

Starting 32-bit #Puppy #Linux in #qemu is not as straightforward as for example 32-bit #Alpine. For the latter, using `qemu-system-i386` without special options is obvious and sufficient. The former comes with a 64-bit #UEFI bootloader. That means you cannot use the default qemu #bootloader but need OVMF. And do not fall in the trap of using qemu-i386. You need qemu-x86_64. Long story short: `qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=BookwormPup32.iso -bios /usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.fd …`
#TIL Setting up email notifications when #fossilscm is running inside a chroot jail on your webserver is easy by using a #sqlite database as bridge into the wider system. From there, #sendmail will fetch and send the notification.
