So 'closed captions' on is a source of misinformation

That is supposed to be "key city of Bakhmut" and CC writes "Berkeley"

    @jwp distrobox still would need:

    function devbox { distrobox create -i ghcr.io/gbraad-devenv/fedora/toolbox:38 devbox-fedora }

    but distrobox will not work on Windows AFAIK ;-)

    I mostly rely on to set up my environments, and we got this working quite well with WSL2 (I worked on that)

    And they are still absolutely awesome.

    I am so happy I had the opportunity to see them live yesterday.

    @bookwar I got introduced by a colleague when I was working on an intership at a small website hoster/designer.

    Northern Lite is also good. A German band with the same sounds and feel.

    Working on a @tailscale extension for Podman Desktop

    It will be very bare-bones as I only have a few hours/days to work on this.

    Here is a quick test of the VM system container exposing a basic nginx container to a devenv on Gitpod.

    Regardless, instructions to continue this work will be available.

    gbraad,
    @gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

    @crc yes, it will. Haven't been able to test on the OpenShift Local image, but would not see why it couldn't.

    The emphasize will be on a UI that allows to register and see the opened ports. Eventually also want to add serve functionality.

    gbraad,
    @gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

    @tailscale

    Since I need to add some missing functionality to Podman Desktop, I want to make sure the system container is published/available.

    https://github.com/spotsnel/tailscale-systemd

    You need to start this with podman machine ssh or

    podman run -d --name=tailscale --hostname $HOSTNAME-tailscale --network=host --systemd=always --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW ghcr.io/spotsnel/tailscale-systemd:latest

    after this registration can be done with:

    podman exec -it tailscale tailscale up

    gbraad, (edited )
    @gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

    Working version (more of a POC)

    ghcr.io/spotsnel/tailscale-podmandesktop-extension:latest

    It only handles the basic authentication flow. Since there is no markdown description yet for the dialogs, I can not show the QR code. However, after registering you can use the container terminal if needed and the access of local public ports on containers works. Though, you can not inspect a list of available ports for now.

    Added a -based image:

    https://github.com/spotsnel/tailscale-systemd/tree/main#rhel-ubi9-based

    $ podman run -d --name=tailscale \
    --hostname $HOSTNAME-tailscale \
    --network=host --systemd=always \
    --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW \
    ghcr.io/spotsnel/tailscale-systemd/ubi9:latest

    which provides a common base if you already use UBI9 images with

    Thinking about that time I called out internet famous / powerful tech guy for being a total shit to my friend and former Red Hat colleague. No apology or acknowledgement of the mistake; I did get him to delete some of the tweets and block me. 😂

    Another time I called a powerful famous tech guy for making careless sexist comments; he acknowledged the mistake after some reflection + apologized.

    Guess who I have more respect for? Guess who I now view as a grown-ass adult vs. a scared man baby?

    Saturday Confession: I'm a sucker for video game adaptations, especially . I've spent so much time at my friends looking at the static miniatures and reading the army rule books without ever using them that I'm excited every time I see the characters, vehicles and weapons I've come to know so well animate in a game.

    @gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

    @hypolite
    I used to read the WH40K books and the RPG books, as worldbuilding in GamesWorkshop is great.

    It is what still draws me to TTRPG in a way. Love Call of Cthulhu for that...

    so I created bootstrapper for jbang for fun this morning; then realized @asciidoctor allow // as comments too. So is born self-bootstrappable asciidoctor revealjs proof of concept:

    @maxandersen One of the images in the presentation: https://github.com/maxandersen/presentations/blob/main/images/buildruntime-1.png has a transparent background, which prevents it to render in a readable way from a dark github theme.

    Working on a modification to distrobox to be more in line with my expectations of what a devbox is; a development environment with network and process separation, but with easy drive access and web/gui based coding using vscode and vim, with easy access with ssh, proxy, tailscale, etc..

    did some tests and no issues so far.

    Today I had a flashback to 1995: when SATAN ("Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks") was released & sysadmins around the world rushed out to install Perl 5 to try it.

    To my recollection, it was the first sysadmin tool to achieve national media attention.

    One of the authors, Wietse Venema, also wrote the Postfix MTA, TCP wrappers, and The Coroners Toolkit (replaced by Sleuthkit), and contributed to the SLSA spec.

    All things I've used & am thankful for. Consider me a fanboy.

    @thomrstrom sounds familiar, especially the name Wietse Venema as he is Dutch. He now lives in the US if not mistaken.

    I do not understand why you need gnome-tweaks to set Legacy Applications to use Adwaita-dark when the Style has been set to Dark in the settings of Gnome. I don't think anyone appreciates the inconsistent titlebars between, eg. Gedit and the Terminal

    @gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

    @sesivany even if this is the case, you should not need additional, non-installed, tools to modify the behaviour (This is what I argued).

    people called shame when Microsoft released a half-baked metro style. seems in retrospect it is not much better on Linux/Gnome. And if not mistaken, it has been this for years already as I remember having to do this before. (At the moment mostly using text-based Linux as I use multiple OSes).
