What makes an "AI datacenter" different than a normal datacenter? Is it just that it's fully dedicated to racks of servers specifically for AI purposes?

Imagine we spent $37.5B on saving American lives rather than murdering Iranian school girls.

@feld nvm. windows laptop decided to switch to another wifi AP. still having issues :-(
Weighed myself this morning. 141lbs. I'm 6 feet and 1 inches. I'm now at the weight at which I graduated high school.
I don't really want to be this weight. I would prefer to hover around 165-170. When we moved to Colorado three years ago, I weighed 195lbs.
I wonder if I have a parasite or something. I typically find myself in the kitchen every two to three hours. I'm eating a lot, but my body doesn't seem to be properly digesting stuff perhaps?
My mom and step-dad received fire evacuation orders. They're headed to our house now. I hope, when the time comes, they're able to return to a pristine and unharmed home.
@feld so THAT'S what they're gonna use to refill the swamp!
Current status: writing a new paper on #libhijack to cover (relatively) recent innovative work. This will be a follow-on piece to my first paper in PoC||GTFO 0x17.
Today, I'm thankful for the combination of these two #FreeBSD features:
- geli-based storage encryption
- ZFS
Before I fly out to help with a family medical emergency, I'm backing up my most important bits to a geli-encrypted encrypted NVMe USB enclosure.
It's ZFS all the way down, so I can do something like:
# zpool import backups
$ zfs snapshot rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27
$ zfs send -vp rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27 > /backups/laptop/home-2026-06-27.zfs
Rinse and repeat for each ZFS dataset I'm interested in backing up, both for the laptop itself and for the ZFS datasets contained within the VMs on the laptop.
@feld got it working: pfctl -F all
stale states suck. ;-)
@feld could you share a (sanitized) copy of your config?
What am I doing wrong here? Just a very basic #FreeBSD pf NAT config, but the src address isn't being updated:
scrub in all
nat pass on tun0 from tun0:network to any -> (vtnet0)
pass all
Anyone know if #OpenVPN3 config file syntax is 100% compatible with OpenVPN2? I'm having trouble locating documentation for the config file syntax.
I'm supposed to start the #HardenedBSD quarterly release engineering process this coming weekend. that work might be delayed. I'll probably ssh into the build VMs and comment out the cronjob before this weekend.
One unexpected benefit from migrating away from self-hosted #GitLab Enterprise to #Radicle : the temperature in the #HardenedBSD server room at my home hasn't reached 70F, even though it's over 90F outside.
TIL mwl is both a #FreeBSD driver and a beloved FreeBSD community member. :-)
@cmconseils what is this thing called "retirement"? ;-)

If we completely destroyed Iran's military, how are they striking targets?
Looks like the #FreeBSD #OpenRsync ports entry hasn't been updated in over a year.
There wasn't much work done on openrsync (even in the OpenBSD src tree) in the past year. This is why there hasn't been a release.
