What in the flying fuck are these fucking fartwaffles on.

If you don’t want social consequences then don’t be a fucking asshole.

The constitution or “waaa tolerance includes Nazis” doesn’t protect you from finding out when you fuck around.

One year ago, I started a bi-weekly nerdy podcast with a few friends called Linux Matters. The goal was to make a show for our wider circle of Linux nerds who like to hear what we've been up to every couple of weeks. We just released episode 27, where we read and discussed feedback we've received since we last looked in the 'mailbag'. 🧵

@popey Very much enjoy and appreciate the show. Always look forward to new episodes. Cheers! 🍻

Sometimes my motor cortex invents user-interface features completely by accident.

Just now I wanted to edit a particular shell function 'download_foo()' in my .bashrc. So I went to emacs, hit the keystroke to open a file, and before I quite realised what I was doing, my fingers had typed in the pathname

~/.bashrc/download_foo

as if download_foo were one file in a subdirectory, rather than one function in a source file.

Of course it doesn't work. But it might be kind of handy if it did!

Given how Pydantic 2 broke compatibility with Pydantic 1 in a way that's still shaking out - you can't use 2 in a project that has dependencies that use 1 without making changes to those dependencies...

... I wonder what the downsides of releasing Pydantic 2 as a new package called "pydantic2" such that it could be installed in the same namespace as the original pedantic would have been?

Presumably this is how Jinja ended up as "jinja2" forever?

@simon I feel like semantic versioning solves this so long as it is actually used and not just paid lip service

    @ubernostrum I generally run unit tests in a Python environment (pyenv locally, GitHub Actions pipeline remotely). My approach is: if there's something that I need to dockerize for a unit test, then it's probably not actually a unit test (e.g. end-to-end test, etc.) or there's something I'm not mocking that I should be.

    Pro tip: If you lack motivation, is sadly not the cure since it will only alert you to and, worse, focus you on that inadequacy.

    However, coffee may just prevent you from killing the person who points this out to you.

    Amazon needs to take "verified purchase" review requirements a step further with camping gear and require that you have actually used the thing before you review it.

    Nearly everything you would expect to be destroyed in the line of duty if it was made cheaply/improperly is filled with reviews like "I love this thing so much! I haven't used it even once, but it's great." You have to dig around for the few truth-tellers who post "This thing is a flimsy piece of shit that melted in 5 minutes."

    Thinking about how Arch [or Arch derivatives like Manjaro] really do seem to have their shit together but I'd be worried about my system suddenly sliding from a good state to a bad state after one upgrade.

    Is there like… a way to run Arch with checkpoints you can wind back?

    Or is that just NixOS? Like is the thing I just described NixOS

    Seen some grey-beards dogging on using containers to deliver applications lately, and I'm of two minds about it.

    I understand the kernel of the argument, and I don't disagree with it.

    On the other hand, I am currently working on a community server composed of many services:

    • SSH server
    • API server
    • nginx server
    • postgres server
    • redis server
    • proxy/load balancer

    Does this need containers? No. Would it be less confusing/error prone without using them? Also no. Fuck no.

    haliphax,
    @haliphax@hachyderm.io avatar

    All this being said, you absolutely should be vetting your containers with at least an iota of due diligence. If they're curling from a rando's GitHub repo and piping a script into sudo sh, then maybe look elsewhere.

    I just don't think that I need to care as much about the officially-blessed redis container image from DockerHub, etc. ... attackers could pwn me from a local redis binary install just as easily (or easier) given my level of expertise with this stuff (which is ... not great).
