Observability is a capability my last employer really fucked up. I would have loved this power.
Trying to figure out wtf is going on with database locks, or celery tasks you can’t find in the dashboard, was like blindfold surgery.
Fat chance that team would use elixir, though. Nothing more esoteric than python.
Excellent - I’m about to install it for my aged mother, because windows keeps moving her cheese.
I want something that doesn’t change the workflows once she’s learned how to do a task, and that local techs can help her with, and that I can VNC to when I have to.
I used a Sidewinder keyboard for years with programmable macros.
Yeah, I had my password as a macro.
Dick move on my part as the macro, I’m fairly sure, is stored in plaintext on the PC. But the convenience was great. I don’t do that any more.
I’m a native English speaker. I can’t understand your comment. I sense that you have a useful perspective, could you rephrase it so it’s understandable?
Think of the lexiconsequences
Maybe not. But that was before he was president for four years - fuck, it’s still crazy to think that happened - and really forced people to acknowledge that yeah, he is a pathological liar who doesn’t give a shit about the country.
A lot of people still suck on the tit. But a lot of others recognise that the hot pain comes from getting burned.
You had all the tea party nutters for years - but none of them became president.
The bit about “secret” whatsapp messages is alarming.
when Steve Jobs built the first Apple computers in his garage
Just erase Wozniak from history huh
the translation step from binary (program) -> text (SQL) -> binary (server)
Your concern about this is misguided. Inter-process communication always has to cross a barrier, by definition.
I take it http also feels wrong to you?
Binary protocols do exist, e.g. gRPC, but they incur costs of their own.
Shame I had to scroll this far to find PRQL
No! Bad dev! No biscuit!
Never merge master into a feature branch. It’s called a “wrong-way” merge and it makes the history fucking awful.
You shit in the face of project maintainers when you do this.
You may not care, in fact many don’t. Also people buy timeshares, read celebrity gossip magazines, and vote for scumbags. They are fucking idiots who don’t know what they are doing. So are people who leave wrong-way merges in shared history.
In fact, wrong-way mergers are worse, because you can’t just ignore them - git blame rubs your face in their shit, so they shit in your face forever.
Just don’t fucking do it, OK? Or I will hit you in the throat with a cricket bat soaked in wasps. As a first warning.
If I were a democrat pol, I’d want to keep Gaetz, and Trump, and all the nut jobs.
They are loved by their base and horrible to work with in the houses, but they are electorally toxic.
Prediction for your next presidential election: Trump will still be on trial on federal charges, he will be the nominee anyway, and he will lose badly. DeSantis will bite chunks out of him. Bullish on popcorn.
Or Trump bites chunks out of whoever they do nominate. The party either gets moderate votes, or Trump votes, or DeSantis votes, but not all three.
I’m getting started with i3, so I get your point now.
Ahhh, thanks! Please excuse my error - I am attempting to perform computation using a kilo of wet squidgy protein and fat.
This is how I torrent over Mullvad. I have no hesitation to recommend Mullvad - but I am not a crypto or security expert.
The main image fails closed - if the VPN goes down, transmission disconnects.
This setup also includes a SOCKS server that proxies your traffic over the same VPN. I use a separate browser (librewolf) and set the SOCKS proxy to :2020 including sending DNS over SOCKS. That’s because my country blocks piracy-related sites at the DNS level. If you don’t need this, you can delete the socks section of the docker-compose file.
On my ubuntu laptop, I install transmission-remote-gtk in order to click on a magnet link and have it added. Otherwise you have to browse to the container’s web interface, which gets tiresome.
I have this installed as a systemd service so it runs on boot. I use the systemd state and credential features as a safeguard against my own mistakes with permissions, but my long-term goal is to encrypt these files on disk. Linux can be pwned - I have read that around 35% of botnet nodes are linux (although these are presumably mostly weak IoT devices). The secondary benefit of the LoadCredential/CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY mechanism is that it doesn’t expose secrets as environment variables.
The p2p.service file needs to be in that path, but you can put the other files wherever you want.
/root/.secrets/mullvad:
123456789
""
For mullvad, there is no password, only an account number. I believe that the empty quotes are necessary. This file should be owned by root and chmod 600; containing dir should be 700. Replace the account number with your own account, obvs!

Substitute “member of an out-group” for the bonus point
Fucking hell, way to perpetuate a society where women are valued only for their fuckability.
They are. If Trump stands, it’ll be a big victory for Biden, because Trump has made himself unelectable for swing voters.
Over here, the tories are heading for a wipeout. They’ve been telling us their shit smelled like roses, and it worked, up until it didn’t.
You are correct, it’s a warm and helpful community… except for the people who like the smell of their own farts.
Lemmy is better. But reddit is lousy with ignorant twats saying bullshit like “Linux is just a superior philosophy”, but who have never written a line of C or C++ in their lives. They know nothing about system design or computing history. They make claims about windows that apply equally to linux, or vice versa. They use terminology in a nonsensical context. In short, smug fools. It’s not unwelcoming so much as unappealing.
The best thing about Windows is that no-one is smug about using it.
