GitOps as explained: You merge your change and the thing’s changed!

GitOps as in reality: You merge your change and about a million lines of code in six or seven distinct distributed systems each take a swing at it and if they all work properly the thing’s changed.

I have made a thing!

I wanted web-based slide presentations that were still good HTML documents, so I made exactly that.

does anyone know where the name HEAD for the current revision came from / what the rationale was? I think that git copied it from Subversion/CVS, but it seems like such a weird name and I imagine at some point in history it must have made sense. Would especially love references if you have them.

(please do not try to explain to me why you think HEAD is a good name today, I'm only interested in learning the history)

@b0rk I always thought (without researching or attempting to confirm) it was a nod to linked lists since making a commit is a little like adding an element to the head of a linked list.

Is anyone out there using fly.io with Python? I was considering using it with some microservices but I haven't figured out how well i works yet.

@major Last I spoke to him about it, @simon was using Fly for a great many Python applications.

I think the bloom is off the rose for me about Mastodon. Between the utterly crap experience whenever a toot goes mildly viral, and the obnoxious HOA-ish attitudes about what "should" be “allowed" on Mastodon, this is feeling less and less like a place I wanna super invest in. Bummer.

@jacob I hope it turns around for you. My experience has been lackluster, too, but for a slightly-orthogonal-but-also-slightly-opposite reason. It feels like the migration petered out before critical mass arrived which makes it feel dead or empty to me. (This could be exacerbated by running my own server but I try to compensate for that by following more folks and always browsing the Federated timeline.)

@frank Who gets to eat my brain once I’ve begun coding? Seems a waste, otherwise. Is that what customers are for?

    @kevbob Was the post edited, maybe? I'm not sure how edits work around here yet, nor the full rules for which posts are broadcast to which servers, so that's a guess. But it seems like a plausible one, especially if the post feels spammy?
