25 years ago today, Google was founded.
On the same day, I wiped Windows 98 off my computer, believing that Debian Linux (which I had been using for a while but still kept Windows on another partition) could do everything I had been doing with Windows until then.

Since that day, many installations of Linux, *BSD, MacOS have graced my computers, but Windows has remained, on a few occasions, only an occasional (unwelcome) guest.

In the spirit of a typical support group phrase, I can joyfully say:
'Hello, I'm Stefano, and I haven't been using Windows as my primary operating system for 25 years.'

Please boost and share your experience!

Täälläkin jotkut jakaa aktiivisesti tekemiään #AI-kuvia ja moni on kokeillut niiden tekemistä.

Mikäli #ilmastokriisi, #elonkirjo ja ihmisten #työolot ovat nekin itselle sydäntä lähellä, kannattaa kuunnella tämä ohjelma, ja miettiä sitten, että onko se #tekoäly llä leikkiminen tämän kaiken väärti.

BBC Worldin #TechLife ssa tätä käsiteltiin, vaan oon unohtanut aiemmin jakaa.

Good evening, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

Today, an unexpected phone call had me rushing out to take care of some matters. There's no rest even on weekends during this period, but I've always enjoyed a bustling life. Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Good morning, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

Today, I'm doing some maintenance on a few servers, migrating a couple of #CentOS to #FreeBSD, and an old #Linux firewall with #iptables (done manually) to #OpenBSD with #pf.

Some users (myself included) have noticed that the FreeBSD Fortune bot tends to repost the same advice frequently. According to my statistical calculations, it should repost the same fortune every 4/5 days, but in reality, there seems to be very little randomization. The output is generated directly from the 'fortune(6)' command on FreeBSD, so for now, I'll let it be. In the end, it's one post per hour, so it shouldn't 'spam' too much.

Have a great day ahead! 😊 #SysAdmin #ServerMaintenance #TechLife #ITproblems #Randomization #RunBSD

“This issue is complicated by it’s complexity”

I can't honestly believe I wrote that. Worse..... I saved that as a comment to a ticket.

Time to go find a place for a nap? Yeah.

time to take apart computers like a mad gürl... and this is how I get my 10Khours in technical expertise.

My hands have built so many a computers from the group up. PowerPC's¿ I gotchur PowerPC right here..

#techLife #IT

So I just setup a powerline AND MoCA based network rather than run cables through my home. Things I learned: MoCa is MUCH faster where you have a coax line. IF you have that go MoCa all the way. Powerline for me limits me to 4 working units (operating at full Gbit speeds) before performance degrades horrendously (YMMV tho depending on wiring). I got a wireless mesh network I'm building out as well however. #Technology #techlife #home #DIY

This is literally my day today, yes, this was a real conversation:

"It's borked."
"The fix also borked the bork."
"Wait, the original bork is still borked so the borked bork borked the borked bork?"

I work in I.T.
