Only one generation knows how to fix tech...

Locked down, sure.
But compared to generations before where a calculator* was rare? It's fine. Interested nerd will still consume knowledge on the good bits and the cycle will continue.
*"You can't count on always having a calculator", the teacher said, obviously not clairvoyant.
Calculators weren't just rare, they were banned.

Hehe, llvm is a compiler framework, basically provides all the utilities for processing an AST.
ASTs have various flavors but they're all the same thing an intermediate representation for a program that optimizers and linkers use to create binaries.
The network stacks meh, 6 or 7 layers depending on what protocol you use but in brief: physical, transport, application. More and more functionality has moved into the transport in the name of efficiency, see quic. But in general not worth worrying about most of the abstraction was nonsense anyways.
And you missed out compilers was one of the most useful classes in cs circulums since it teaches you how languages work.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I KNOW! My biggest mistake in college was worrying about my GPA and that worry keeping me from taking harder classes. But I did learn about ASTs.

Millennials are supposed to be the generation that ends the capitalist age tribalism propaganda

lol. My dad’s a retired engineer and my mom was a computer programmer. Literal actual baby boomers.
I work in IT. Gen-X. Which you forgot because you’re bad.
My daughter just got her degree in Cybersecurity. Millennial.
tl;dr: STFU with this stupid inter-generational tribalism, it’s wrong and stupid.
I'm a xennial or whatever you wanna call us and I can't stand the generational cold war that takes place in our society
-
Utter BS. I’m on the old end of Gen X and I’m still building PCs for people and troubleshooting their shit when it breaks. I have yet to meet a much younger person who can do it as well.
Your also on Lemmy so you're the exception not the rule.

I have a Proxmox server with a random assortment of hard drives and SSDs of various capacities {8TB, 2TB, 2TB, 240GB, 240GB}. I want to create a CephFS filesystem spanning them, using erasure-coded pools in order to maximize capacity (kind of like RAID 5 except without requiring same-sized drives). How do I configure my CRUSH Map in order to accomplish this?
Lol, you lost me there. I've read up on the various RAID configurations. I've heard about CephFS. I don't know much about it, but I get the sense it's the new kid on the block.
I actually have a RAID question for you. I want to setup a little RAID array starting with 2 mirrored drives and add more drives later. But it seems there is no easy way to migrate RAID versions? Let's say I want to start with 2, then 3, than 4 drives as stuff fills up. I always want some level of redundancy. And I don't want to use any additional drives aside from the 2, 3, then 4 in the array. Is this possible? Either with RAID or with CephFS?

Depending on definitions, I'm either a millennial or gen-z. Some of my team mates are awesome and know everything there is to know about computers. Others have knowledge gaps that make me question whether they went to uni. They're also the same people who commonly don't know how to find answers to things. They're also the people proclaiming the loudest about the greatness of Gippers
Gippers?

At this point I’m happy to let someone else do it. Being everybody's tech support sucks. I can just tinker with and enjoy my own setups in peace.

To my fellow Gen X’ers…
Shhh!
Let someone else deal with the inept on the other end of the phone. Be happy we’re being ignored again.

Man Cody/Katie/Wormbo from Even More News look like they got put through the early 90's prime time TV show filter.

I saw this as a millennial and immediately thought to myself “did they forget GenX built the internet?”

I'm not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem
I spent 25 years without remembering that, you sonuvabitch! :-D. Sorry, the PTSD takes over sometimes. Goddamned supra winmodems and hot-glued ISA cards in overpriced junk RadioShack/FutureShop computers....
Right?
How about jumpers on hard drives while figuring out interrupts and hard drive/controller card matching (I forget what it was called, but there was something about figuring out the interleave, etc).
I'm about to have some awful flashbacks, dammit.
-
I think what's happening is Millenials are starting to get the "OK Boomer".
Yep it's just a phrase now and people don't know what boomer was.

Eh. Genx understood how to work a VCR and deal with the rat's nest of cables behind the TV
Computers are millennials
wrote last edited by [email protected]Very late Gen X or early millenial no. We came through VCR DVD it was a wonderful change. Also Torvalds would be Gen X.

Damn, you're good. Enjoy your lifetime of trimming Satan's pubic hair!
Hahahahahaha, omg that's a brilliant read. Thank you, I will be sharing it with my technical friends (any kind of technical will get it, one friend is in hydraulics and boy, the stories are so like mine in IT).
-
It’s funny how bubbles can change so much. In my personal experience, most Gen Z people know their way around computers and how to fix stuff. I regularly help my millennial sister with stuff like that.
No generally Gen z is not afraid of tech but doesn't know how it works.

My dad is close to 80. He's been PC savvy since the super early 1980s and he still is, although he is stuck in Windows because he's a monster in the astrophotography world and most of his software isn't supported in Linux etc. I dated a girl in college whose dad was one of the founding creators of the internet. Unlike Al Gore lol.
I taught my younger brother how to program in basic and pascal in the 80s. He's now a super successful programmer. I'm pretty poor but I like to build fix and upgrade people's computers as a hobby. I am gen x.
I am Gen X
This sounds like a commercial (fellow GenX here), haha

Bullshit. If her dad was one of the founders of the Internet, you'd know that the Al Gore meme was a Republican smear campaign.
I worked for Vint Cerf in the early 90's. This is what he wrote to defend Al Gore against the Republican smear campaign:
Al Gore didn't need a smear campaign for his nonsense. I was there too, we were laughing our asses off at the shit he said.

Gen X seem to be either computer people or totally unaware. Millennials seem to be generally much less knowledgeable than the former and much more knowledgeable than the latter. Obviously there are millennials who are computer people, but my conception of them is more people who got computer science degrees than the person who lives in a shack in the woods and builds his own robots. Boomer computer people are even more formidable.
I’m not saying that’s true, but it’s the stereotype I have in my head.
Well put.

If you all didn’t want to be the New Zealand of generations you would’ve had your mom give birth earlier or later duh.
Just like New Zealand should push itself closer to a continent if it wants to be on maps.
Also as a dum millennial I am always amused when my brethren ask me about social media etc and say I don’t know about tech cause I don’t got an ig account or watever. Bitch please, I have worked in kernel dev I know all the lies we present as a file. I get angy when people that can’t read x86 assembly tell me I’m not technical.
Hahahahaha, take my GenX upvote
