@gavininny You coming to L&F tonight?

@skulegirl XCode is like the most developer hostile IDE I have ever experienced. It will randomly decide that it will upgrade itself and your build tools will fail because you now need to reinstall a bunch of its components.

@gavininny @SamUpstate yeah.

@burgerbecky did you test for C19? This sounds a LOT like when I had C19.. that cough especially.. it just won't go away. I had to test _3_ times every other day before the 3rd test, after 6 days of symptoms, finally tested positive

today was rough...

@burgerbecky I love when that happens, so productive.

@dvl double booting from USB stick 🤮 I hadn't followed closely enough that, I though that was just to do an update step, not a forever thing

@dvl If you need assistance with FreeBSD UEFI/GPT boot I can help, I am an expert here, I wrote my own FreeBSD UEFI secure-boot setup :)

@dvl I found this. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/tcp2rz/dell_poweredge_r730_boot_from_pcie_m2_device/

It is a disaster of a set of instructions, and I doubt you need all of it. Some of the takeaways that seem to be important in my researching is that you may need to use GPT and UEFI booting if you haven't tried it yet, and you may be able to get UEFI/option rom 'platform firmware' for the SSD itself, thus it won't need BIOS support to boot it will have its own firmware.

@dvl I do know that HP has their BIOS PCI ID locked to not boot other people's NVMEs.. so maybe dell is doing that here?

@dvl Isn't NVMe just SSD connected to PCIe? (via the controller chip?) That is to say NVMe *is* PCIe.

@dvl https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/howto-speeding-up-poudriere-build-times.69431/ ah, found it. I was off a bit.

Tutorial on speeding up poudriere.

> Have 96GB of RAM
> End tutorial

😆

@dvl 342GB of RAM.. yikes. There was a post years ago about speeding up poudriere builds and someone was commenting theirs was just fine and someone noticed their machoine had like hundreds of gigs of ram and just commented akin to "how to speed up poudriere, 256GB of ram, thank you for coming to me TED talk"

@dvl Can you get a network sniffer on this? my guess, is that it is not listening on HTTP (migrated to HTTPS?).. or HTTPS and they changed their crypto with a new cert with a root cert it doesn't support, or crypto algorithm it doesn't support (SSL, TLS1.1, etc)

Maybe moved their files and paths.

Can you download locally and self-host?

@darkosubotica IIgs! awesome, I have one right next to me right now running!
