I said Hey! What’s going on?

.NET framework has been discontinued for years now with .NET platform being the official successor. It’s no longer called .NET core. If one started with framework, moving over to platform is very easy as it’s the exact same language. If thet were on framework still, it would mean they haven’t updated in years, which would be weird and not recommended.

It makes no sense, .NET is fully supported on Linux and has been for years. There is an official SDK and it’s capable of creating full standalone executables, or smaller ones requiring the runtime libraries to be installed on the target system. As far as I know good packages exist for just about any distro. .NET is fully open source and not just worked on by Microsoft, but a large community.

Creating a Linux executable from any .NET code is as simple as running a single command, it supports cross platform compilation as well. With support for a range of architectures and OSes.

The only caveat is all the code needs to be properly managed code, any unmanaged code is most likely not cross platform compatible and is thus not recommended. It can even break as drivers or the OS is updated for example, so it’s a bad idea to have unmanaged code and usually not needed.

No I don’t think so. It think that specifically points to that specific image. The other images are from the final result, which was done by an artist as the author states.

I think they are just from testing tho, not a real situation, to show the different configurations.

I also don’t think the article was LLM written. It might be assisted by LLM, but I see some human patterns in there.

Holy shit, it’s 21 degrees out and this dude is rocking the wood burning stove till it’s hot as balls inside the home. No worries tho, the aircon is on in the bedroom. Holy shit it’s set to heat at 26 degrees. Dude must be a lizard or something.

It is very revealing how the people rebelling against Flock isn’t seen as the people opposing mass surveillance and data being made available to all the cops without cause, due process, oversight, restrictions or consequences for abuse, but instead as the people being against Flock specifically and the same system with a different label would be peachy.

Either they are monumentally stupid or more likely they are corrupt as hell and/or evil.

The stick wouldn’t work. It’s just a cosmetic thing to make it look like a real stick, so it can be sold as such. Once the consumer gets the stick it wouldn’t work and they would return it. But the seller might not have an option to return it. Or it might be sold through one of those ebay/aliexpress/amazon stores that evaporates within a few days.

If you have a working stick in your DDR5 system, the chips are fine.

I also wonder if this is really that wide spread, seems like a lot of trouble to make not a lot of money.

How are there still idiots falling for crypto in 2026? It’s a bullshit waste of energy and time, only designed as a pyramid scheme. These days they don’t even go through the whole process, it’s just pre-launch buying, release the coin and instant rug pull on all the dumb smucks who put their money into it. It was dumb 10 years ago and has gotten dumber since.

It was also a highly political move, so I understand people blocking everything political from their feeds missing this one.

One of the things I need the most memory for is actually memory profiling. Running high memory usage workloads, combined with the profiler and all the debug information adds a huge amount of overhead. For profiling workloads of around 24GB you need 64GB in order to comfortably do that.

Budget PC builds? How’s about fucking all PC builds? Who’s willing to pay that much money for a relatively small amount of RAM?

I was looking at upgrading my system to 2x48GB early 2025. It would have cost me around €300 back then, maybe €350 depending on the clock speed and timing. Which is a lot of money for memory, but a good amount to have for the future. With 32GB becoming the norm and 64GB as the premium option in the DDR4 era, upgrading to 96GB or even 128GB for DDR5 seemed like the next natural progression.

I had some other expenses and I felt my old system was doing just fine, so I postponed the upgrade. It’s not like computer hardware is going anywhere right? Wrong as it turns out, the same upgrade would set me back at least €1000 today and might be around €1500 depending on clock speed and timing.

This 3-5x increase in price is crazy and has absolutely killed my willingness to upgrade. I hope my old rig is good for a while yet, as it looks to be possible my last system for a long while.

Last time I had it not boot after an update has been years ago, it just works these days.

Step 1: Sell data to AI companies Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit

They are now finding out step 2 is getting absolutely destroyed by AI not sending people along to their platform. And the profit in step 3 is for the AI companies, not for them.

These CEOs are so shortsighted it’s beyond belief. Sure Google paid hundreds of millions for the data, but in turn it’s a death sentence for the platform. But hey it was money in the short term right?

Did you read the last commit on the source? It would have told you exactly what you needed to know instead of wasting all of our time. It’s called common courtesy…
