A question for any #sourcehut users who submit builds to the builds.sr.ht service via its git.sr.ht integration (https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/#gitsrht): are there any tricks to having a persistent main branch .build.yml file in place, whilst trying to minimise the load on the build service?

I know about git push -o skip-ci, but I'm definitely not going to remember to do that on every push to (or config of) each non-build-worthy branch.

Any ideas/tricks/etc?

Which of the #emoji in this list would you use to mark the start of a distinct step in some documentation? ":step:" isn't available :-( https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/master/README.md

I know this'll be unexpected, possibly unpopular; and it's a big, big decision, but ...

I've decided to change my standing desk layout so the screen's in portrait mode.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

@sarahdal Heya 👋 So I recall your XLS-shouldabinnaDB problem, and I noticed that @simon posted this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37199041) in a (🙄) HN discussion of Datasette, his open-source-but-also-SaaSy data-thing - and his comment stood out to me as something you /might/ be able to use to help convince your, er, colleague that using something DB-ish is a positive, & not the loss-of-control that I infer from your toots that you believe they might fear!

Does anyone know (or could point to) the theoretical or practical limit on the number of deployed #AWS #Lambda functions that an account can contain? I can't see the question answered anywhere.

Not concurrent executions; not provisioned capacity; not create-function-requests-per-second; not function versions ... but the number of uniquely named functions that can be deployed, possibly sitting unused, ready to be invoked, in an AWS account ... 🤔 #serverless

#linux people: what are your favorite #tui apps? I use #ranger all the time, I prefer #weechat for #irc, #emacs for rss reading, #tig to quickly look at a #git repo. #htop for system monitoring. That kind of thing. Any other great #tui apps out there I should be using?

I know that asking an AI something-or-other to take the logos of a couple of #FOSS projects that I'm glomming together, and to generate a picture of their half-human-half-logo personifications getting hot and steamy would be wrong ...
... but would it be wrong wrong? #NowKiss

I’ve lost my house keys. For the first time in over 30 years, I have lost my set of keys. But they must be in the house, because /I’m/ in the house. I’ve looked everywhere - even in the fridge, in the bin … but no sign of them. I genuinely think I’m losing my mind 😳😳😞

The few times I’ve used #Hugo the #StaticSiteGenerator I’ve rapidly become bogged down in off-putting low level detail. I just want to write words, select a theme, run a command, and push the resulting nice-looking site!
What #StaticSiteGenerators can I check out that would give me a closer-to-hosted-Wordpress level of “choose theme; type words; have website” initial effort (even if that absolutely implies a low degree of customisation/flexibility)? #SSG #Websites

Can #deaf kids take part in #SpellingBee competitions? If so, how do they find out which word they need to #spell? Genuine question.

Today I walked a round trip of 13km: up Shotover hill, down into Wheatley for a coffee, up past Wheatley windmill and down into Horspath. I peeked though the windows of the primary school that I last attended a third of a dang century ago, and went back up and over Shotover country park. It was a fantastic hike, made even better by the wood absolutely bursting with bluebells! #Headington #Oxford #Shotover #Wheatley #Horspath #hiking #walking #bluebells #woods #nature #forest
