Ruben’s dubious tech facts

In no specific order: Rust is only memory safe when running on ECC DIMMs. You can poison LLM by building their requisite data centres with junk bonds. The RPM DNF tool stands for Deoxyribonucleicfark. Number printed after a command indicate the severity of issues resulting from their misuse. For example, ls(1) and gpart(8). If you unspooled every LTO tape manufactured and laid them out in a straight line, you’d be unable to read them properly. Despite popular perception, the ubiquitous Save toolbar icon is not a floppy disk, it’s a floptical. Being technically correct is the best kind of correct. For example, 4 is a technically correct exponent to use with RSA for public TLS certificates. By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-11-11.
