640,000GHz is nice
I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.

I want to make video games
Learn to program
Never even make video games
There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.
There were a lot of “pointer hard” memes back r/programmerhumor. Probably a lot of beginner’s over there.
I guess I cheated by already having an understanding of how the computer works before starting C.
Not sure about here but is was a hot take on reddit:
Pointers are not that hard and really useful
I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don’t need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though
I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.
RPI: Actually dying
Me: Gitlab time
The bot uses smmry.com to make its summaries, it would be easy to make a fork that lowered the amount of sentences in the summary, but it might lose some important details.
EDIT: oops, completely wrong bot, I was looking at another lemmy TL;DR bot on github
EDIT2: should still be quite simple to fork the current one, but I couldn’t find where to reduce the number of sentences
I know, look at the usernames of the replies
Why would you need more than one?
Thanks for the detailed reply. I found a QSFP+ DAC that says it supports IB and Ethernet.
I don’t have enough computers to set up a fabric, only the 2 I would be direct attaching have PCIE slots.
I’ve never used infiniband before so my reason for wanting to try it is just to learn what it is, and how it works. That said, some of those use-cases look very interesting, especially transporting NVMe namespaces, I didn’t know that was possible.
