Oil was effectively plankton and other sea stuff.

Coal was forests.

Nice.

NetBSD.

Though for all we know it could be running on a potato.

Virginia isn't the south anymore, it's a dem swing state partly dominated by DC.

I'm talking about the deep south TN, AL, MS.

I have a few 4x2.5gbe and 2x10gbe, and I think one is 8x2.5 + 1x10gbe.

Theyll get better, networking is actually easy to sku once you get going, they've just enjoyed the premiums till now.

And again, wifi was considered the main connector, which is why we got 2.5gbe in the first place, it fit 802.11ac and most of ax.

I actually love the theory of the Mach nanokernel, I just also think Apple went their own way with it, defeating the purpose entirely.

Lived there. No it wouldn't.

What were tasting in the US now? Still absolute heaven compared to China.

You should consider Taiwan instead, if you have a career they want.

And this is how you escalate a traffic stop into attempted murder of a cop.

You're right, but rax is amd64.

I think there were a few early amd64 systems with genuine ps2, and I think you can still get one, but it wasn't common, and honestly it's probably usb->ps/2.

To be a pedantic asshole: mov eax, ecx? Unless you're commenting on the insanity of interrupt driven i/O in the modern age of high performance, deep-pipelined superscalar OOO cores.

I do not think this is the affirming story you think it is...

Basically it strips federal judges from forcing compliance with injunctions enforced with contempt citations.

They're using an unaffordable tax cut to end all judicial oversight.

I got my family out, I'm sorry the rest of you are fucked :(

Meh, after all the post-iw shit that tried to pretend anything still had meaning (except loki, that was cool), dp3 was nice and chill.

The 'big, beautiful bill' ends judicial contempt, so courts won't be able to enforce their decisions and injunctions anymore.

They won, and idiots will vote for it for the tiny tax cut they get back.

Realtek Freebsd drivers are 'ok' now, but that was a long fight.

Outside of wifi (I mean Jesus christ) most of freebsd networking got fixed a decade ago, but you still need to stick with common-ish gear.

Freebsd on kvm though, that's a game breaker, especially with sriov mellanox.

And fucked it up by releasing the 8169 with a stepping change that added power management.

The kernel driver didn't know this, so links would silently not come up, and you wouldn't know why till you googled and learned you had to rebuild your kernel for your new motherboard.

That'll be a while, there isn't much push yet (1gbe is still pretty fast) and you can do 2.5 if you want to push, they're basically starting to replace 1gbe with 2.5gbe as a drop in.

WiFi kind of screwed everything because it's 90-95% of all user clients, so if wifi can't handle the bandwidth, the bandwidth is considered 'commercial' and they charge you through the nose.

Excellent!

Now if we can only teach realtek how pci device id's work, so they don't use revision id's to control power management, and links silently don't come up if your kernel driver doesn't support it properly.

I know this was a decade ago, but yeah, I'm still pretty damn pissed.

Qnx is certified and has (hard) rtos baked in.

But montavista and others give most of that by now for less and are more maintainable anyway.
