  There’s twonthings at play, here:

  • installing dependencies without checking
  • a framework that will allow this

  Both are absolutely the fault of the user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  identity first workflow and is used specifically so that they can route different people to different login [hamster wheels]

  The one thing MADE for JavaScript and no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I worry that

  • ICE now knows where she is
  • they have a quota
  • their boss is a Russian asset and wants a pat on the head

  Can we get her to safety before they grab her and ship her back to Vlad?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I love this response.

  Yay! Now get people to never say ‘app’ when they mean ‘shitty DB web front-end’ .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where’s the Bazel people at?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  CI compatible to GitHub actions

  Ugh. More yaml?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still yaml shit though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you manage your home server configuration?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

  All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

  There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside the aforementioned cancer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto: Game creator sacked us for trying to unionise⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to force toxic work schedules without extra pay or downtime. Because #dotcom

  And probably no benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Parisians will never stop complaining about québécois.

  Because Paris French has a group keeping it consistent, whereas Quebecois has no regulation and it’s just driven by vapid famewhores making idiot memes popular (just like English).

  I worked with someone in Ottawa who was from France. She went to Gatineau (Quebec), and tried to order a cheeseburger. They could not communicate effectively in French and had to both switch to English. The struggle is not imagined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they kill oracle, will that kill the last Unix after IBM stole the parent OS of Solaris and put it into Novell’s oubliette to reduce competition?

  deadspace

  That’s two words, my dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you using n8n for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like, what 8 letters are abbreviated between those two Ns? Are we supposed to know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Umami is compromised - upgrade immediately⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see it’s running Ansible. That’s an obvious risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That may be regional. I’ve never heard those two words together in this area. Fluff used to mean padding or excess in 1970s ad-lingo, if I remember it correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People have been speaking with punctuation since language was invented. If you only now realize that pause is an em-dash, that’s on your schooling. :-p

  Sorry guys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The writing in this article it absolutely terrible. It needs some serious clean-up before the message isn’t impaired by the medium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I go to pixelfed to post my art and view other peoples art. that’s it. I don’t go there to read posts or what’s going on in peoples lives.

  Yes but being able to do that is a design goal of the fediverse

  Is it? Beause that seems really dumb.

  Here’s a radical idea: sometimes, web services are built with features you don’t use. Sometimes you don’t even *value *those features. But, in cases where your preference isn’t in the majority, the decision to include those features won’t match your personal preference.

  Sometimes, the ability to share and see content between different sites is even a core value.

  Weird.

  For more information, search “false consensus”.

  You may want to learn how you can configure your own accounts on various services to manage what you see on each one. Because, to some extent, that’s a configuration option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.

  You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.

  Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.

  As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replace your boss ... before they replace you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This website is a blank page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I highly recommend journalctl-desktop-notification⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha ha ha.

  I love how lennart’s cancer tries to replicate fucking syslog and it’s this bad. What a mess the kids worship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every part of what you just said can be encapsulated in proper packaging so you don’t even need to care – about pre/post upgrades, or even dependencies and checks before it starts.

  The lack of a proper release is the absolute only thing keeping me from using it.
