or a compiler that makes the llm sad

c llm code is more readable as it probably trained on better code

i mostly used the ec2 instances and the workflow to make a simple gpu instance from the terminal (terraform) is terrible in contrast to ie gcp.

from the UI it is even worse

also how it is so slowwwwwww

well at least they are not commonly loaded - in like 12 machines i have

what i want to play with is rdma and having a bcache block device with the remote as a backing and a small local nvme as a write-through cache

or just copy the latest kernel to something like /vmlinux and /initramfs

Or use UKI and throw the current kernel to /efi/boot/bootx64.efi; there's plenty of solutions to sane bootloader/kernel management if you're willing to invest 15 minutes into the topic and not act like it's scary and complicated (it really is the opposite).

Grub2 is scary and complicated. Remove grub from the equation, and all the scary goes away.

Grub is really impressive in how it consistently spent the last 30 years focused on improving everything except the UX of the one workflow 99.99% of its involuntary users need it for (boot linux as reliably as possible, and make it easy to debug when it does not).

grub is just a operating system. it is quite good when shit hits the fan

~90% of the failure modes grub can fix don't exist without grub. I can't remember any time when its needless complexity was actually a net benefit compared to literally any of its alternatives (and between gummiboot/syslinux/efilinux/isolinux/systemd-boot/efistub I've used a lot of them).

i like grub, but i also remember pre-0.98 grub

i love HN but also starting to think it's time for us oldies to have our own one: cost of entry, having a distant memory of booting linux from a floppy

My first linux system was a linux-on-a-floppy router that I ran on a spare 386 with two cards to provide NAT for my house, back in the days when internet providers tried to ban people for doing that.

i have the memory of bios being so shit that i had to boot grub from a floppy to boot from a cd

i never got it to work

GigaBASED, FOSS-pilled. Gaben protects

youtube had rss feeds? i built scrapers for nothing lol

They've always had feeds, they just stopped surfacing them properly around the time they killed Reader.

features that are opt in are ok. anti features that are opt out is not ok

fake real one
