👊🏻 Larian's Publishing Lead Bashes Square Enix for Replacing QA with AI
"AI and automation is clearly integral to QA for any large scale game but the idea that QA people can be replaced at a large scale is stupid because it supposes that the conversations with them can be replaced and they can't. They are a massively advantageous vibe check."

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey
After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.
📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression
That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.
It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.
🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

The tongue-in-cheek premise of the VR game Job Simulator is that all every-day jobs have been replaced by robots, and humans can enter a job museum to learn what it was once like "to have a job".
I don't think there's anything tongue-in-cheek left at this point, with the way things are going...

Earlier this year, I developed "ansible_jailexec", a modern Ansible connection plugin that can manage FreeBSD Jails via jexec via the host (incl. transparent file copy into the jails filesystem). All released under a BSD license.
That way, you can automate FreeBSD Jails via Ansible, even when they have no ssh or network connectivity.
On Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_jailexec
On GitHub: https://github.com/chofstede/ansible_jailexec/
The connection-plugin comes as a single python file (jailexec.py) and comes with Unit tests and internal safety checks.
Maybe someone finds it useful.
Happy automating 
🙂

gave up on feed2toot and have migrated my rss2toot workflow to n8n. This was pretty fun to setup! Except I forgot to limit it to the most recent posts and it dumped 150 items to my bots timeline 😞
live and learn and test before deploying :)

What if artificial intelligence is just a “normal” technology?
｢ Rather than AI stealing jobs wholesale, jobs might increasingly involve configuring, monitoring and controlling AI-based systems. Without human oversight, Messrs Narayanan and Kapoor speculate, AI may be “too error-prone to make business sense” ｣
