There’s an LLM called Grok? What the fuck. Seriously. Tech bros understand the absolute most obvious thing from your favorite piece of science fiction, please.
The meaning of grok is in the plain text! We’re not even talking about obvious metaphor, it’s just a made-up word for truly deep understanding and you’re going to name your idiot, fabulist, word generator after it?!

I have a stupid idea, but I'm not quite sure how to make it happen. Modern linux systems seem to be eschewing virtual consoles, but assuming that you wanted to keep using them and also had to meet a requirement to display a classification banner on-screen at all times, where would be the best place to try to insert a banner, agetty?

Dog-walking thought: Does git-grep exist (yes) to allow you to search through the whole of the repo for changes (no, that’s in git-log)?

Bitwarden’s been throwing warnings on my phone telling me to scale back my hashing parameters because they might fail on this device.
Of course, now that I post about it, it’s not doing it so I can’t screenshot it…

I have to go into the office tomorrow. Ugh. I can’t believe they want me to do this.

Upcoming Windows 11 anti-feature:

• automated wireless intrusion in the setup environment. Don’t have an internet connection? Don’t worry; we’re sure we can break into one of these networks!

I have used a git subtree, and while I kinda hate it. I still think it was the right call given the constraints.
This is not a reply because I don’t want to argue with the take that brought it to mind.

If, for some reason, you want to use git subtree, think very carefully about doing so. Reasons follow.

c0dec0dec0de, 8 months ago to ADHD

So, I'm reading about my stupid brain and this is fucking with me. (see attached excerpt from Taking Charge of Adult ADHD) Other people have detailed sensory recollection? My recollection of sensory information seems more like metadata than replay to me. Sweet and sour chicken is good and tangy, but I can't like taste it in my head.
I think this is the first time I've felt really like there's something wrong with me.

Current, unpaid-for projects I want to work on:
A tool to strip out nondeterminism from RPMs
A tool to run only CTest executables affected by a list of changed files
CMake scripting to automatically add all the necessary subpackages as dependencies of the devel subpackage
My headcanon version of git-grep
A requirements tracker website à la UCF, but free; or OpenSSF badge app, but customizable and can be self-hosted
Terminal classification banner
Virtual console classification banner

Ugh. I want to write a blog post to share something but I don't have a blog and I don't really feel like I have enough things to say often enough to warrant really starting one.

Ugh… lack of search is annoying.
I swear @cstross was in a conversation about weird units in UK production, blah blah blah, some clunky cast-iron machine pumping out these cans or whatever.
There’s some truth there. We used to use colbalt alloys because they’re insanely durable machines with cobalt alloy seats and bearings are still in use in places, but we don’t make them anymore except in special cases. See atomically stable cobalt, Co-59, is great. Fantastic stuff.

Reading (and absolutely loving) Ferrett Steinmetz’ Flex. I would swear that @EAPodcasts did a read of one of the chapters a ways back, and it’s what got me to put it in my list to buy.

Ah, Monday. The remote machine I use at work is undiscoverable - and I don’t even know its physical location to tell someone to kick it.

@bruxisma do you have any CMake nonsense for intuiting what tests to run to cover a set of changes?

c0dec0dec0de, 9 months ago to Kubernetes

Walking the dog and realized that it might actually help someone if I wrote a blog post about how I use DuckDNS, LetsEncrypt, and Caddy to get a wildcard domain with TLS without exposing any ports on my home network - and how that can unblock people experimenting with bare-metal #kubernetes.

Mid-life “crisis”: as emphatically not-a-car-guy, I am possessed of a desire to build a car. This is facially absurd. I don’t possess the necessary skills, don’t have a garage to store a partially-constructed vehicle, and definitely don’t have the time or funds to spend on such a venture.
I’m not building a fiberglass facsimile of an ‘89 MR2. But I kinda want to. Maybe make the lines just a touch sharper - and the cabin a touch bigger to accommodate my height better…
No. Silly. Frivolous. Nope.

How and why is Microsoft Teams even installed in this system?! It’s using a whole processor?!

Using git bisect to find where an error was introduced in a project I really don't want to understand.

TIL about Python regex named capture groups and the groupdict() method of the Match class. So I guess I’ll be committing more regex crimes.

Now, maybe you hate Sony. Maybe you hate Activision. There's plenty of good reason to hate both – they're run by creeps who do shitty things to gamers and to their employees. But if you think that Microsoft will be better once it eliminates its competition, then you have the attention span of a goldfish on Adderall.

I hate working with Ansible and Jinja. Is there some set of filters that will take a list of dictionaries like this and work without making Ansible loop and do multiple transactions per host?
