**I have a job now!**
I'm a Chinese shitizen, but I generally don't post in Chinese to avoid being suffering from other Chinese.
I'm physically a male, but I don't care how people think about my gender. I can be male, or female, or cat. But if you ask, I'd prefer to be referred to as male. Also, I support LGBT+ people, and I'm a copyleft. I don't think I'm too aggressive in arguing things, but sometimes I do. You should handle it with care.
I post about programming (most time is Java and Kotlin, unless I have a new love), and some random things I find interesting. I also post about my mental health, which is in a stable state of instability, thanks to my parents and Chinese society.
Anyway, if you want to follow me, I'm glad to see you. And, have a nice day.

Nice! Elin, the successor to Elona, got released on Steam! It is a huge open world roguelike style game with lots of freedom. I hope it's just as quirky as the original game.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.
A thread, with links:
Chirag Shah and I wrote about this in two academic papers:
2022: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3498366.3505816
2024: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3649468
We also have an op-ed from Dec 2022:

鼓励型友好工作环境至少能让效率提升一倍，不要想去改变他人，要去选择他人。不要想着去适应环境，要去选择环境。
适应环境是个很大的消耗，你在不停的对抗不友好的话，用在真正做事的精力就会变很少。妈的换了个同事工作环境简直天壤之别。

The JetKVM is an inexpensive, small IP KVM with a new twist on an old idea — full remote control for any computer.
I've been testing it for a couple weeks, here is my review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pYfHedjjgw (note: it's a Kickstarter, standard Kickstarter caveats apply!)

I have been reading those comments, and they are quite interesting.
Hackers in the 90s: - Phreaking - Hackers manifesto - Fuck "The Man" - I wrote a kernel because IBM sucks - I pwned the CIA - Fuck closed source so...

Some Clarity On The Linux Kernel's "Compliance Requirements" Around Russian Sanctions
Just a notice with my alter account:
Several days ago I hosted my own mastodon instance on masto.host, which I don't know what to do with it.
Now I decide to use it as my alter account. In case it's confusing that seeing someone looks like me is following you again, this is my alter account: @skyblond@m.skyblond.info

The reason I don't want ECC is the cost. I have already blown up my budget with ASUS TUF Gaming motherboard and brand new intel 13th gen i5 because I don't want to gamble on cheap stuff.
I do plan on using those cheap stuff until I saw the comment saying it's frustrating when you have to going back and forth with the customer support team.

My Twitter account had been locked for something like 2 years.
It is now gone.
And aside from the occasional in-video references to it, the links have been removed from my YouTube channel.
I'm planning to build my own NAS and now decide to use Unraid instead of TrueNAS because ECC memory will be important to ZFS compared to other filesystems. (I saw this from a lot of discussions)
My question is why? I know ZFS rely on RAM for caching, but why ZFS is more vulnerable to memory corruptions? And why other systems like unraid and btrfs are not as emphasize ECC memory?
It's quite interesting to see two major voices. People from TrueNAS side suggest you must have ECC memory if you care about your data. But people from unraid side said ECC it's not worth the money.

I also think if I keep a list of hashes when I back up my data, then ECC might not be nessary at all.

I guess the best way to protect the Linux development community is bow your head to US government and start licking Biden's boots?
