  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Run your networking over IPX on that LLM

    [–] kamen@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    Not sure if satire or an actual question.

    [–] notthebees@reddthat.com 2 points 8 hours ago

    Very much satire

    I think Debian needs at least 64 megabytes of memory to boot? Or at least Debian-Installer needs that for its ramdisk? (I remember doing some convoluted jank to get Debian crammed on a machine with 32 megs of memory once.)

    Dunno how factual this is, I haven't checked in a while

    [–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

    a trixie netinst iso says it needs 320mb to run the installer and that's in lowmem mode where you have to pick and choose every installer component you want to load. and then it'll still look like this:

    [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 38 points 16 hours ago

    Probably the LLM cosplaying as an ethernet card. Everything else should work fine with Debian.

    [–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 12 hours ago

    Missing potato?!

    [–] mech@feddit.org 48 points 21 hours ago

    That's odd, Debian should run on that without issues.

    [–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 22 points 20 hours ago

    they obviously didn't RTFM, specifically section 6.4. Loading Missing Firmware

    but actually I'm not sure where to find the TNT drivers for Linux anymore... https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/riva-drivers/ has them for OS/2 and BeOS but no Linux πŸ€”

    edit: ok so https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/21931/ has it for i386 Linux, OP can probably just ask their ethernet LLM to port it to rv128

    ZFS RAID2

    I assume they mesnt RAID-Z2 but I'd like to think they actually meant a ZFS array built on top of an obselete RAID 2 of cloud accounts lol

    [–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago

    Definitely meant the second one because it's way funnier

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    Idk, I just tried it on a similar set up (I don't have networking per se, just two pigeons with flash drives).

    Works perfectly.

    Maybe check the stability of gerbils in the PSU.

    Having trouble installing IPoAC stack, don't want to manually copy from USB all the time. Did you find the solution?

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    The solution was magnetic serial ports, birds have innate desire to charge up on power cables anyway so not much training was needed, it also minimised the exposed network attack area, ... but doesn't do much against aDDoS attacks (a single mf with a handful of seeds will fuck up my coop-rig for hours).

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

    I see! Thanks for sharing, will try to raise a link. Will see what I can do about protecting the communications from seeds, though

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 13 minutes ago)

    Seed-boxes, ultimately one can't live without them.

    I was searching for a funny pic, but til there was a Mike Tyson cn show with a pigeon.

    You just gotta love the "do not hallucinate" part of that prompt, which is like taking a person tripping balls on LSD, and telling them "now hear this, I want you to only tell me facts, and I do not want you to hallucinate!"

    Good luck with THAT.

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

    Clanker equivalent of telling an angry spouse to stop overreacting.

    [–] hayvan@piefed.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It's like telling a six sided die to roll 6 before rolling it.

    storage: ZFS RAID2 array of three hundred free icloud accounts

    I bet somebody's been bored and/or psychotic enough to have done that, booted a Linux machine from it, and played DOOM on it.

    [–] notabot@piefed.social 97 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I had planned to do some productive work tomorrow, but this is calling to me. I must be strong...

    There was a brief fascination with gmail-as-a-drive when it came out and offered people 1GB of storage. I remember someone wrote a driver that cut your data up and stored it as email attachments.

    [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    Back when I was on reddit, I remember finding some obscure subreddits that only had one approved poster and every post was filled to the brim with nothing but hexadecimal.

    In theory, any website that allows you to post things could be used as a storage drive...

    [–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Hex is somewhat curiously an extremely poor encoding when you have access to unicode

    [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

    Maybe reddit's formatting could interfere with using full unicode. Some of it could get interpreted as formatting marks, which could introduce bugs when trying to read it back.

    Like, if your binary file translated into unicode happened to have {1*xF9*u in it, it would then read as {1xF9u when you go to read it back, and now you're missing two bytes from your binary file. But since none of the hexadecimal symbols are used as formatting marks, you're safe when using hex.

    I'm sure I saw something like that a while ago, but it was mostly a joke project. Can't remember its name or anything though.

    For a more exciting FS, there is: https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 11 points 1 day ago

    i prefer this one because it has metadata https://github.com/philipl/pifs

    Someone had a filesystem using gmail once

    [–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

    GmailFS provides a filesystem using a Google Gmail account as its storage medium

    The joy of FUSE is that anyone can make a file system pretty easily.

    I've got the same setup but I found the issue wasn't the hardware but a driver conflict with my Nintendo Gameboy Printer. I was able to rollback and get it working fine.

    [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago

    Giving the error so much attention is collapsing its wave function. Try ignoring it for a few days and see if it doesn't sort itself out.

    [–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 13 points 21 hours ago

    I'm sure this is funny.

    [–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 113 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I've been unable to replicate this issue.

    I have the exact same build except my network card is an official Playstation 2 network adapter. Try replacing the LLM.

    How do I get the ps2 to respond to prompts?

    [–] farmgineer@nord.pub 6 points 19 hours ago

    Apple sauce is not a universal replacement for eggs! ... huh? Oh, force of habit. Also, the requirements clearly state Apollo-era core rope memory.

    [–] mvirts@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

    yes, the problem is you did not sacrifice a live goat while mercury is in retrograde and github is down, as is custom for digital magic and necromancy.

    Must be a bug on Debian side. That's all common hardware, so you can just rely on someone else to report it and you'll be back up in a day or 2.

    The Riva line were absolute bangers tbh. Mad props to the driver developers who were always playing catch-up on the hardware (mad props to the hardware designers implied) but always delivered the goods. I honestly hope they're rich AF.

    Don't let your dreams be dreams
