Hello hello everyone!
It has been some time. Cable company decided to mess up everything, topping it off with a helpful "sorry, we can't help you take it up with our third party engineer"
Said engineer made a mess last time, and these people failed to even get communicating with their mother company right... This resulted in our internet straight up dying after two months of underperforming.
So long story short, switching cable companies is a faster fix than waiting for these people to get their mess together. This new company is not very good either, but I got their small business package, which gives me access to their competent nerd hotline (seriously, the guy had their sales department overpromises delivered in two days :) )
So we're kinda back online on an emergency package (courtesy of the nerd hotline). It is basically a MiFi box. They were 5 days faster than the engineer the other company could send.
So yeah, I'm kinda back. Proper cable (fiber) should be set up by the 28th!

The futility of Ad-Blockers
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"
Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.
Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Design And Development of the Intel 80386
From the Computer History Museum
Originally recorded on VHS, September 2, 1988 (about 7 months after I got my first job in tech). Academics grill Gene Hill and Pat Gelsinger about the definition, design, and implementation of the microprocessor in the context of their experience with the 80286.
PS: FOUR YEARS to get from SPEC to production samples.
