I remember talking with @fanf in the pub about how awesome Ansible was. I am now using it again. I would like to apologise for my previous enthusiasm. Fortunately, I have plenty of time to.

The best way to think of SLS is as a balding guy with a mullet: there are fireworks down below that are meant to distract you from a sad situation up top.

For eight minutes SLS roars into the sky on a pillar of fire. And then, like a cork popping out of a bottle, the tiny ICPS emerges and drifts vaguely moonwards on a wisp of flame.

[It is] a first in space flight, [a] rocket that is at the same time more powerful and less capable than the Saturn V.

i'm experimenting with getting my ssh passphrase out of the macOS keychain using Rust

i did some hacking around with the security_framework crate https://docs.rs/security-framework/ so i can get a debug printout of the query and to add a feature

so the query matches the one used by apple's hacked ssh to get the passphrase

GUESS WHAT

Error: Error { code: -34018, message: "A required entitlement isn't present." }
