Refreshing my homelab
Recently, I have bene doing some upgrades and refresh to my homelab rack. Some of these updates are just getting started, but several of these are completed already. Snce we moved to the new house, we have 10G internet. So, I upgraded the networking on the rack to be 10G network. This means, two 10G switches and two 10G NIC (Intel) on the firewall server. I also installed one 10G NIC on my desktop computer to get 10G internet. I plan to upgrade the other two servers to 10G ethernet in the nex...| Blog blog("Baptiste Wicht");

Your executable is a SQLite database
Your executable is a SQLite database Farid Zakaria describes a neat Linux pattern for creating a SQLite database file that can be directly used as an executable binary.The trick sets the SQLite file format's 4-byte application ID (68 bytes into the file) to SELF, standing for Structured Executable & Linkable Format. The various components of the ELF executable format are then arranged into a number of different SQLite tables, using this schema. Their self-exec interpreter (C code here) can th...| Simon Willison's Weblog
Quoting Linus Torvalds
And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work. I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it. I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am. But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit w...| Simon Willison's Weblog

I turned Unix talk from 1983 into the interface for my AI
