How much money are you willing to personally contribute to Linus Torvalds so he isn't poisoned by the Linux Foundation's donors?
And what will you do if you pay him directly and he still uses LLMs anyway?

Me: hey friend, I have 2x 14TB unused I can mail you for the datacenter (we share storage). There's space for these right?
Him: No need, I'm about to get two retired servers from work with 100TB each

OpenClaw is fucking amazing. This is so ridiculous. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.
I installed OpenClaw on a Debian VM, opened up the web chat, and told it that I want it to build a bridge to DeltaChat to communicate with me as it's not an officially supported integration.
I told it to pip install the deltachat-rpc-server, communicate with it over JSON-RPC, read my blog post about DeltaChat bots to understand how to use the JSON RPC, and to register an account on my server and send me the invite link.
it worked. Fully autonomously. Built the integration, and now I have an AI assistant inside DeltaChat

Hear me out.
We fork Mumble server. We change the chat to be IRC. We use Obsidian IRC (web irc clone of discord) as the client. IRCv3 SASL EXTERNAL will let us auth the user using the same key identity mumble uses. Convert the Obsidian web to Tauri for cross platform desktop app.
That's it. Self-hosted Discord, now just improve the UI and invite people to rewrite in Rust and add storage backends for the chat history and nobody needs Discord ever again.

There was an opening for job at Epic (health) and I was fully or even way over qualified for everything except having no real AIX experience except fixing a couple things at a sawmill whose operations were coordinated via some custom software on a shitty AIX box.
I was doing my best to explain to whoever it was I was talking to in their interview process that AIX is just another Unix and if I can learn Linux, BSDs, and Solaris I can quickly come up to speed on AIX and they were just like "I don't know what you're saying, but the paper in front of me says you must have this AIX experience sorry"
Nearly every time I've worked for a corporation it has been soul sucking. The one exception was Cisco because the team I worked with was awesome and we were allowed to do things the way we wanted because, you know, we were actually trusted

It's good people are becoming aware of these things but we need to open our eyes wider instead of just condemning the current day's punching bag of choice
