A few years after I quit a job because of a terrible micromanaging blowhard, I was recounting the story to a group …including his brother.

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?

Oh I love this response.

Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

Based is fetch.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot.

Ha! Remember back when there was no fstab fuckery? Good times. But you have a massive init blob slowly eating other services and replacing them with shitty replicants like this embarrassment (ohai root NFS) and all of us Unix people are chuckling in our reduced-fuckery ‘hell’.

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 from the aforementioned cancer.

regularly use windows because we love modding the crap out of all of our favorite games and that’s just not feasible on Linux

Linux isn’t a game.

Policy is not decided by logic and sense, my dude. Sorry you have the same wonks dictating that as I do.

Whatever gets attention, I guess. See? We’re talking about it now.

even though my work laptop is Windows, I do most of my real work connected to a Linux server/IDE.

This has been me for my entire pro career. There we are, working to maintain at&t Unix, but it’s all (then) vandyke, winamp, Mozilla4. Here I am now, at work, corp win11, putty, radiogarden, fucking outlook/teams and all its dreck.

But look at bazzite and Nobara: if we can avoid the snaps/appimages/flatpaks in addition to the venvs and npm and other toxic cult cargo sploit vectors, we have a strong platform with still just enough windows access for fucking teams and the rest of the redmond-based data sovereignty threats.

The coasts will be wealthy and independent. The middle will be poor and warlike. Two coastal countries and a lot of warlording in the middle.

Find and watch the 2010 Jude Law movie “repo men”.

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

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

Imagine trying to read that

Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.

tho

See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code conforms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

softwares

This is still not a word, my dude.

Yeah. Like JavaScript, SMTP and the web itself, lemmy will just go away.
