Shouldn't this be spelled "des moins cons" ?

"Let's have a bit of fun. Can you guess how large the Github Actions Ubuntu VM is?"

(the rest of the video isn't bad either, where 'isn't bad' means it's scary as hell.)

"Raivo OTP just deleted all tokens after update and is now asking for money"

I am still incredibly happy with my migration of OTP tokens to have a backup on the command-line; even if 2FAS goes down the drain I won't be in the rain.

Ich frage mich schon lange, warum sich Google als DIE Suchmaschine so lange hält und nicht schon längst was neues, anderes, besseres daher kommt. In der Frühzeit des WWW hatten wir alle zwei Jahre neue Suchmaschinen. Außerdem geht Google Search dank AI in großen Schritten den Weg der Enshitification.

Und jetzt gibt es da die Suchmaschine Kagi. Eigener Index, keine Werbung, aber Bezahlaccount. Nutzt von euch jemand Kagi und hat eigene Meinung/Erfahrung dazu?

(Not quite sure what he's actually saying, and I might actually be a wee bit scared; the last time 'round, k8s/openshift was forced upon us.)

@plaimbock so, will you support that? ;)

@plaimbock my point, really: I’m sure RH couldn’t care less about that packaging

Bored? No idea what to do on the weekend? How about reading a book.

Ulysses

> James Joyce’s most celebrated novel, and one of the most highly-regarded novels in the English language, records the events of one day—Thursday the 16th of June, 1904—in the city of Dublin.

@shaft I too was forced to process "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog" and absolutely detested it.

This one is even worse, though to be honest, I don't think I ever got past paste 2.

rclone with base32768 filename encoding would be good for me as it permits for longer source file names, but I can't do this to myself: I get the screaming heebeegeebees when I see a space, let alone an umlaut in a path.

The movie “Atlas” is unrealistic: when J.Lo talks to her coffee machine, TVs, chessboard, etc. she doesn’t prefix instructions with “Alexa: “

You use kubernetes to serve your modest blog.

That's ok, I'm sure.

So, uh, did anyone already try the Ubuntu 24.04 GitHub Actions machines? They just crash after ~5 minutes, cancelling the workflow :/

@zhenech what I've always wanted to know but never dared ask:

why is Ubuntu used for those things i/o, say, plain Debian in some more-or-less long-term version?

@jpmens@mastodon.social avatar

Look up wherever you are, and you’ll see a Unix/Linux command mentioned

@zhenech that is exactly what I 'read' when I first saw the poster!

Interested in #Ansible's Event-Driven thing and/or in Ansible on Windows?

Saturday July 6th, in Nieuwegein (NL) near Utrecht, Ismail Dhaoui of Red Hat will do a presentation about Event Driven Ansible (EDA).

After lunch Ton Kersten will guide through an Ansible and Windows workshop

https://www.meetup.com/ansible-benelux/events/301290316/

and if I as a non-organizer may add: if you say you'll come, please do. There are typically many no-shows and food has to be thrown away which is dreadful.

I'm curious: have we already seen advertisements or sites which say something along the lines of

"we are not adding AI to our product because ..."

?
