Rather than write on my blog, I’m considering changing it from a static site back to a wordpress site. That’s probably a better use of my time right?

mike, to Vivaldi
@mike@fosstodon.org avatar

I know people complain about @Vivaldi being not fully open and being based on , but you just can't beat when it comes to features. I read a lot on the Internet, but sometimes I just don't have the time to do it right now. Vivaldi has an integrated which I can just add my current page to with relative ease. To make it easier, I created a to add the current tab to the Reading List and then close it. I put that chain on my toolbar with a custom icon.

sudoedit,

@mike @Vivaldi I’m a Firefox die hard, but I did recently download Vivaldi. The interface is a little overwhelming for me, but I do see the appeal of having so many things built into the browser itself without needing a bunch of add-ons.

It does have a really good reader view which is something I absolutely love in Firefox.

After hopping a couple of distros my Alienware A7 desktop is running PopOS! with nvidia support and it is a pleasant experience

sudoedit,

@machias I'm also a dropbox user, but I always download the deb package from the Dropbox website.

This took a VERY long time, but I finally finished putting together my entire watch collection on my site.

sudoedit,

@kev I assume you wear your watches on your right hand? Me being the dumbass that I am saw the first few pics and said, “Damn that dudes got huge forearms, that get narrow quick!”…. but then I realized it was your hand…. 💪

“The Imminent Enshittification of the Internet”

Generative models are an existential threat to aggregators. Y’know, the same aggregators that are pouring billions into making said models. https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-imminent-enshittification-of

sudoedit,

@baldur I actually like the term enshittification. In my mind it definitely captures a lot of the problems with modern products and technology. Has it become overused? Probably.

Is anyone aware of a fork for Terraform so it can remain truly open source? It switched to a Business Source License.

sudoedit,

@adamsdesk I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about this pop up on mastodon today. I had never even heard of the BSL before now.

sudoedit,

@adamsdesk You could probably over flow an ocean with the things I don’t understand 😂.

Link Post: SUSE, the German Linux company, appear to be deeply anti-semitic https://lunduke.substack.com/p/the-time-suse-the-german-linux-company

sudoedit,

@andrewducker @baldur I’m always a little hesitant to take things Lunducke says at face value. That said,I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the upper management of a tech company is dominated by giant douche bags (par for the course really).

sudoedit,

@alda @baldur @andrewducker That seems like a reasonable position to take.

    @grueproof I just voted this morning and there were more people at my polling place than I’m used to seeing.

    I’m not getting my hopes up that issue 1 will be defeated though.

    I've been enjoying Debian 12 on my laptop for a little while. My only real complaint is that only firefox-esr is in the standard repo. To install the current version you have to extract the tarball, which isn't really that bad, but it would be nice to have it available for apt.

    sudoedit,

    @RL_Dane I might try it out. I don't usually consider flatpak's, and I think I tried the Firefox flatpak a while ago and it wouldn't work with 1password (the flatpak sandbox couldn't talk to 1password). Maybe that's changed.

    sudoedit, to python

    Ok guru's.

    I'm working on a very simple csv reader and I can't get the value from the first column.

    I've got a csv file like this:
    Last Name,First Name
    Smith,Joe

    and then a short python script like this:
    import csv

    with open("test.csv",'r', encoding='utf-8-sig') as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)
    for row in reader:
    print(row['First Name'], row['Last name'])
    print(row)

    if I remove row['Last Name'] from the print statement I get the first names.

    sudoedit,

    @kleaders I realized the n wasn't capitalized about 10 seconds after I posted that.... and I'm embarrassed to admit how long I was looking at this before I saw it...

    Thanks

    People putting meetings on my calendar at lunchtime “because that’s the only available time” should be punishable by giant woden paddles.

    sudoedit, to Ansible

    I wonder why doesn’t use the parallel-ssh python library by default? It’s so much faster than the system ssh.

    sudoedit,

    @dustinrue There is a project called mitogen that I think uses ParallelSSH that has an Ansible plugin. I’ve used it in the past, but I don’t know if it’s still in active development.

    I know you can specify an ssh-client in the Ansible configuration but I’ve never really messed with that myself.

    Ansible becomes insanely slow when you start trying to run playbooks against thousands or even hundreds of servers at a time. As I understand it a lot of that slow down is due i/o blocking in ssh.

    has anyone used sd (https://github.com/chmln/sd) as a sed replacement? curious about how it holds up in practice

    (also if you're interested in trying new command line tools, I have a list here: https://jvns.ca/blog/2022/04/12/a-list-of-new-ish--command-line-tools/)

    sudoedit,

    @b0rk I use it on my laptop, the syntax for search and replace is dead simple.

    "An contributor (who was formerly an ArchLinux user) was so fired up by our community that he now maintains over 600 Fedora and Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) packages, including some widely-used ones like certbot, brotli, iperf3, imapsync, and countless Python libraries, many of them as the primary contributor maintaining them for the greater Fedora and Enterprise ecosystem. EPEL is tremendously important to both Red Hat and users."

    https://almalinux.org/blog/our-value-is-our-values/

    sudoedit,

    @vwbusguy This can't be true, because I was told by big red that "rebuilders" give nothing back.... Or perhaps there's no value in maintaining those packages and the dev should stop wasting their time?

    So every argument against Rocky and Alma does not apply to Oracle? Oracle somehow adds value to RHEL?
