That’s so fetch.

Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

Based is fetch.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot.

Ha! Remember back when there was no fstab fuckery? Good times. But you have a massive init blob slowly eating other services and replacing them with shitty replicants like this embarrassment (ohai root NFS) and all of us Unix people are chuckling in our reduced-fuckery ‘hell’.

Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside from the aforementioned cancer.

regularly use windows because we love modding the crap out of all of our favorite games and that’s just not feasible on Linux

Linux isn’t a game.

Policy is not decided by logic and sense, my dude. Sorry you have the same wonks dictating that as I do.

even though my work laptop is Windows, I do most of my real work connected to a Linux server/IDE.

This has been me for my entire pro career. There we are, working to maintain at&t Unix, but it’s all (then) vandyke, winamp, Mozilla4. Here I am now, at work, corp win11, putty, radiogarden, fucking outlook/teams and all its dreck.

But look at bazzite and Nobara: if we can avoid the snaps/appimages/flatpaks in addition to the venvs and npm and other toxic cult cargo sploit vectors, we have a strong platform with still just enough windows access for fucking teams and the rest of the redmond-based data sovereignty threats.

Like, what 8 letters are abbreviated between those two Ns? Are we supposed to know?

I see it’s running Ansible. That’s an obvious risk.

Imagine trying to read that

Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.

tho

See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code conforms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

softwares

This is still not a word, my dude.

European countries spend too much on their people’s well-being to properly outfit a military as massive and bloated as America’s.

Can we start using “executed foreign nationals in international waters without proof, trial, process or even jurisdiction” yet?

You mean we can charge our cars without risking damage or wear-and-tear to the port? What will this do to the planned obsolescence of the port if we don’t beat it up every day? Will it be pristine like my phone port next to the goddamned headphone jack?

I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.

The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.

As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

I rode a bicycle to the 10th grade when I wrecked it in a non-dramatic fashion. Down the boulevard of a busy rural highway (shippers and logging) I’d ride every day to school.

I’ve never worn a helmet. #gen-x

Not proud of it, but it’s a quirk. I came here more to say that helmets are new for some of us.

Wasn’t there a paper about behavior changes with helmets and how the added safety could be off-set by more risk?

Finally: what’s the helmet situation in other countries, especially around ad-hoc rental scooters? I see scooters and bikes for rent here, but no buckets to wear, and I wonder the legality of that too.
