  • So I do HPC installations, and using Mellanox/NVIDIA adapters in Ethernet mode absolutely sucks. First, when you initially install them, they’re named something like ens2f0, where “2” generally corresponds to the PCI slot. Pretty easy, until you install MOFED. Yeah, I know you don’t need MOFED, but the drivers included in RHEL are waaay old. Anyway, after installing the newer drivers, that exact same interface becomes ens2f0np0!

    What’s even better is there’s no guarantee that a PCI Ethernet card in PCI slot 2 will be “ens2…” which I would argue is predictive!








  • Usually trousers (really like the Eddie Bauer Ranier pants and shorts), golf shirt, grip6 belt, hiking boots and good socks. Bose QC35s if I’m in the data center. One customer makes me wear a safety vest. If I’m working weekends, in some data centers it’s warm enough for shorts (I’m not doing hardware installs).

    If I’m working at home, whatever I slept in plus a shirt.




  • The dash used to be how to could tell how long someone had been using tar. If they started with Linux, they probably use a dash. If they started on a UNIX variant, they probably don’t. Either way, the dash isn’t needed.

    Also recently learned that recent versions of tar will autodetect compression. So for extraction, you just need “tar xf “


  • I’m sure there’s something, and I try to remind myself when talking to the kids that they’re figuring out the world around them all the time just like i did when I was their age. It’s really hard getting them to look outside of YT and TikTok for information. Awhile back, the younger one got into the Atlantis mythology and started talking about it a lot. Theories of Atlantean origin are pretty common in white supremacist circles, so that was kind of stressful!


  • Adding to what others have said, Rogan often has, at best, a surface level understanding of the topics covered on his show. His guests often have an air of credibility because of their credentials, even when their views are often seen as outliers or plain wrong in their fields of expertise. Because Joe often doesn’t know enough to press them on questionable or disingenuous statements, his many many listeners are led to believe there’s something to the bullshit they’re hearing.

    Huberman does something similar, but is worse because he often knows better.
