  • Why not rsync directly? Why insert a network share to muddy the process?

    Anyways, this is pretty much the “good” use of AI, as I see it. Indeed, if models are more tightly trained to focus on one specific bit of data, such as the manual for an application, a locally-run LLM could transform the help menu into a chatbot that teaches you the app.

    This could be the future reality, if the “throw a firehose of money and a bunch of horrible code at it and hope we can charge people who have no money a lot of money to rent our bullshit” brigade are guillotined.

    I don’t have this book by MWL, but, when I got my first Sysadmin job in 2015, I took over a network almost entirely run on FreeBSD, and I was gifted a couple of other books of his, in particular his ZFS volumes with Allan Jude, and I can say that his work is easy to read and good at giving you the most basic raw facts of the matter. If you really want to understand email, read this book and I guarantee you will get all the information you need.

    I am not his marketer, just a person who was helped immensely by his work. He’s on the Fedi as well, you can search in Mastodon.
