you know hacking kubernetes manifests is so much more comfortable in python... is there any drive to get a yaml processor into the python standard lib?

Honest question for white people that don't consider themselves racist:

White nationalists have been vocal about their attacks on DEI. These are literally the same people that talk about Charlottesville, Jan 6th, and ethnic cleansing.

They've laid out exactly how they plan to destroy DEI.

  1. Make false claims that DEI is about giving unqualified Black people an unfair advantage

  2. Work with racist politicians to use this as a pretext to make all DEI programs illegal.

1/n

@mekkaokereke i've been fairly disgusted by the U.S. national media coverage of the Baltimore mayor after the Key bridge collapse. i can't see those attacks on DEI as anything other than racist dog whistles.

i like to think i'm lucky enough to work at an employer that stresses DEI in our business practices, but also through our community practices fostering open source software.

i haven't said those specific words about DEI to my peers, but i have voiced my disgust in a few venues.

i love David Lynch's movie, but there is a minor detail that really cracks me up.

when the guild navigator is leaving the initial visit with the emperor, their giant container thingie leaves a massive puddle of liquid waste behind it.

the other guild attendants give a completely half-hearted attempt at mopping up after the navigator.

not sure if Lynch intended it, but the disdain shown by the moppers totally captures the guild's attitude towards the entire galaxy.

reading more about this wild xz hack, it sounds so complex given the number of system level dependencies that exist. kudos to the people who have found it and are working to protect the community.

    @deshipu imo, there is a distinct lack of "FOSS 201" type content out there.

    as you mention, lots of how to get started, what i might call "FOSS 101", but not the followup parts.

    fwiw, i proposed a 201 style talk for devconf about how to make larger changes to projects. i think what you are proposing also sounds like good material to help folks.

    i absolutely love for whipping up quick automation. i'm doing some cleaning of movie files locally and in about 30 minutes i have an app that encodes my ffmpeg commands with nice cli flags and even doctests XD

    is there a shell that incorporates python as the shell language?

    one thing i really love about silverblue, and the like, is that once i get my /addition/ layer all smoothed out, it feels like rebasing my operating system when i upgrade, and i do kinda like that feel.

    does feel weird to think about squashing my rpm commits XD

    i'm guessing this will just getting better and better, and i'm here for it =)

    i'm super late to the dance between gitea and their community, and the subsequent forgejo fork. test driving now, kudos to the devs for the smooth migration tooling.

    i've been running local git infra more and more, and trying to ditch some of my saas spending.

    has these quarterly "recharge" days and i ,for one, love them. they are almost starting to feel like an internal holiday with people from across the globe wishing each other a "happy recharge" or similar.

    in the grand scheme of workers' rights this is really small and perhaps insignificant, but it makes me happy.

    happy recharge, to anyone and everyone ❤️

    hey fellow kubernauts, i've been doing a lot of investigation around and the cluster autoscaler and i've written up my thoughts into a post comparing the two technologies.

    if you are currently evaluating these two applications, perhaps my opinions might help =)

    looking for some advice. i updated my key several years ago with some email aliases, but now i want it to be more authoritative. is the best option to deprecate the old key and start a new one, or is there a way to invalidate some of the aliases?

    a point of great debate and discussion (granted i am the originator of said conversations) while i have been here is the office coffee machine selection for "irish coffee". not sure I'm bold enough to try it yet, but i think there will be a great taste testing at some point.

    just watched a pigeon "bully" another away from his turf. was wild, puffing his neck up and warbling at the other. then, pecking and chasing.

    same shit, different species i suppose.
