Aviation use X400 and X500 which is bank SMTP.

ICAO world is behind the curve yeah but not a century behind.

OPS tech is old protocols like X25 and X400 but on IP, not on serial cables and switches.

Networks are using fiber channels, servers are using VMs, kubernetes clusters and stuff like that. It’s old tech on modern hardware. Even the voice coms went full VOIP (at least for gnd-gnd com) during the last decade.

Yes we stay behind the tech curve on purpose, but FAA lagging so much behind the rest of the world is just another proof of their lack of investment.

I know it’s a rethorical question but from what I’ve seen they updated their “information display”.

In my country our equivalent is an in-house Java software running on Linux thin clients. The software basically shows meteorological information, runways status, airspace status and stuff like that, so it is connected to a network in order to receive those informations.

So I’m wondering why FAA used the floppy disks? Was it to update the information? MET is updated every 30 minutes, day and night. That’s a handful of manual updates to do…

PS: Their brand new "Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS)” is what we do in Europe since, uhh, 30 years ?

Ironic that a non American metric shit ton of those AI posts are made by foreigners living in Muslim countries (or not). They do that because hate brings views and views bring money.

So the old Bob and Sarah are sharing AI slop made by an Indi or Muslim dude on another continent that they’re unable to place on a map.

So, same as last time that led to the Rafale? (aka France saying merde I’ll do my own plane myself)

Indeed, communities like the ones from Star Trek or Star Wars are sometimes very vocal and some people starts insulting actors behind the cover of anonymity. That’s the fracking twitter effect.

What i mean is just if you don’t like it just move on with your life and don’t insult or attack people on internet. Maybe the next serie/film will be better (we went from DIS and Picard to SNW. SNW would not have existed without DIS so I’m glad for that overpowered Crossfield-class and its captains)

No, you can dislike some, like recently I did not like the Section 31 film.

But was I bitching about it on the internet ? No Was I happy to have another piece of the Trek universe to watch even if it was a bad one ? Yes

You give me Trek I’m happy to be able to consume Trek, end of story.

She’s the captain and chairman, she does whatever the fuck she wants. Those losers probably won’t even make it to Starfleet pre-selection.

Also, when you love Trek, you love all of them and are happy to have something new in the IP.

I also think “normal non working” people on earth are closer to The Expanse depiction rather than perfect utopia.

Nothing is perfect, I like calling that a “normaltopia”. The federation might not always succeed at being an utopia but at fucking least they are trying.

Tbh Starfleet Academy makes a U turn on that decision the minute after, explaining that because of the war/burn they were jerks but they regret it and try to make amends bla bla bla.

Academy gave me this utopia feeling, but in 2026 it made me more depressed than hopeful as I finally realized that I will never find a Starfleet Academy on our world, aka a bunch of peoples working together to make humanity better whatever if their skin is pink or they believe in the giant flying spaghetti monster.

I use this for KDE tilling https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite

Edit: It is the active fork of krohnkite, the official repo is dead since 2022.

If I remember correctly it was for the structural organization. Creating channels and topics, marking them done and stuff like that.

A kind of open Slack, more designed for projects or companies organized comms rather than just chatting.

Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.

The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.

Dunno I am not administrating it so I didn’t checked. We got the sponsorship tiers as a lemmy/piefed instance is an open source project https://zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#free-community-plan

I believe Rimu (piefed dev) also got the sponsorship.

I plan on using it for personal business projects (self hosted or not, it is not defined yet) to organize comms and plans in topics. But it’s a small team of way less than 10 and if it grows bigger than that it will means we have du money to upgrade (it won’t be eligible for sponsorship tho).

We moved our instance Matrix to Zulip. It is much better now and makes peoples talk way more than on Matrix.

I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer for 3D and dev on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).

Everything is well made and beautifully built.

As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.

I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization + eventual game server all in one).

As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).

It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.

Keychron has plenty of ISO layouts (I’m on ISO QWERTZ fr_ch on all my 3 keychrons)

I’m not sure of the exact model but it looks like a Q* or K* pro (EDIT: Q6 Pro). They now have the HE series that I really really want for the colors. But NO, I must resist!

Keychron gang joining in 😎

Also, nice puppy!

Yeah, there’s been an article shared on lemmy a few months ago about couples or families destroyed by AI.

Like the husband thinks he discovered some new truth, kinda religious level about how the world is working and stuff. The he becomes an annoying guru and ruins his social life.

Kind of Qanon people but with chatGPT…

I’m surprised your main gripe with places like LA or NY are that they’re too big and sprawling and not that they’re dirty and full of unseemly things like homelessness and drug use

Oh it is as well but I was trying to be somewhat positive.

I think my real main gripe with LA is the immense social fracture between rich and poor. You can see an homeless man with his feet turned black for not having shoes and right next to him a fucker trying to impress girls with his Lamborghini.

Getting to the country side to see normal life and normal people was exactly my goal, just getting to a bar in a small town and making friends because of my obvious French accent. I was there for the social part and the nature sighting (and it was very nice!)
