I love BSD in any flavor, but weird to see someone say zfs is developed Linux first. Is this really the case?

What's the opposite of someone skilled at prompt engineering? "I'll ask ChatGPT why I might impl AsRef<T> xor Borrow<T>" I thought. 15 minutes later it's lied to me, apologized for the lie, and then told the same lie several times. I'm giving up and reading a Rust book. Written by a human.

@ahl that has been my experience with Rust and chatGPT too, it seems to be a lot better at Python

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to containerize a command-line tool packaged as a Ruby gem. Maybe I should take a look at distrobox to help with this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

Who else out there is using distrobox?

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe I haven't started to use it yet, it's in the plans with move to NixOS but my understanding is that it's Podman running a more full fledge container, ie full OS inside, which makes running your tasks easier I guess. I'm surprised you can't get you Ruby gem going using an Ubuntu container + the ruby-dev package. I can have a look but I have doubts that if you didn't manage it, I will. Anyway the offer stands

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe I will have a look, no judging ๐Ÿ˜€

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe I'm not sure what's broken, it seems to work, I can run na from inside the container. Any more details?

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe You can just replace CMD by ENTRYPOINT, then alias the na command in your shell with docker run &lt;container-name&gt; -v &lt;shared volume or file&gt;.
I would also suggest to change the default user, it's currently running as root and is going to mess your permissions.

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe What's the error message?

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe I did something like that for Python scripts quite a few years back, I just need to remember how I did it ๐Ÿ˜…

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@scottslowe So I went the ugly way and created a shell script called na--cli.sh containing:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bundle/bin/na "$@"

Then I used an add command to the Dockerfile (and a chmod +x)

Then set the entrypoint to
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/na-cli.sh"]

With that, I can call the process and pass parameters like --version but it doesn't seem to fully work. It doesn't help that I don't know that tool, I guess, I get some "No database found"

What I'd like to see is a TV show like Grand Designs, but posh people who decide to build their own web app.

Kevin McCloud appears halfway through the show in his hard hat, shaking his head sadly.

"Unfortunately their decision to use Kubernetes has led to a very problematic deployment. Meanwhile, their offshore React contractor has left for another job, leaving Jocasta and Tarquin trying to write the JSX themselves..."

So, this internet is great, but the government created it, and some governments have already neutralized it as an organizing tool for their dissidents.

One thing I know the tech people are into, is freedom, so...

What do we do if they lock it down where we are? Do we have, you know, mesh network firmwares for routers?

It's not at all far-fetched to think they could take this away, so how would we keep doing all this, if they do? We oughta be, you know, developing that now.

@jpaskaruk Signal has a circumvent censorship mode, I guess you'd need to use Tor. There are a few peer to peer messaging apps on F-droid.

Does anybody have experience with zipgrep? I'm trying to run a regex with alternation but for some reason it's not working. I run:

zipgrep -E "(wordA|wordB)" file.zip

on a zip file which I know it contains bot words within its files, but it returns nothing, if I uncompress the file and run egrep, it works fine ๐Ÿคฏ

Edit: fixed the command again bc apparently I can't type

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@j3j5 isn't zgrep for gzip files?

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@j3j5 I just add a quicklook and it seems that zipgrep is just a shell script wrapper around unzip and egrep, I think it's just unzipping and grepping anyway, you could maybe replace it by some faster combinations using unzip+ripgrep maybe?

The iPhone 13 mini is dead, leaving small phone lovers in a lurch

One-handed phones are a dying breed. It makes sense, but it's also a bummer.

I gather from all the comments that Apple have dropped the mini. Sigh.

@sil @bigcalm I'm betting on a new design for the iPhone SE in March that will cover that market

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@sil @bigcalm I think the only "small" recent Android phone at the moment is the Azus Zenfone 10 but they are not great with updates, and also their notion of small is like a Pixel 5 so still bigger that the iPhone mini

My current phone's screen refresh rate runs at 90hz.

Would I notice a downgrade when switching to a phone that runs at 60hz?

I don't play games on my phone. I just read news articles and use simple apps like calendar, maps, etc.

fmo,
@fmo@hachyderm.io avatar

@realestninja I would, it's particularly noticeable while scrolling

Edit: you can probably test by disabling 90hz mode in your display settings

I wrote the first linux hwmon driver for a composite USB HID device. I tried to justify why it had to not return errors on the other HID interfaces (because they would then not probe the generic HID driver). The hwmon subsystem maintainer only had a misinformed, dismissive rant as a reply. I am not contributing to this subsystem!

@soller I've been working in IT for over 30 years, I would say a few things, please keep in mind that IT people are not the best at communicating in the best of cases, add the fact that English is not their mother-tongue plus a sprinkle of cultural differences, and you can get easy upsets. I'm the manager of international team and I see it all the time. Please give people a chance before jumping to conclusions ๐Ÿ™
