The failings of the broken windows theory[1] would strongly disagree.

Did you read the article?

In fact I’ve used a 100 foot fiber optic DisplayPort cable that I “just bought” on Amazon, admittedly for a LOT of money (like, I think it was about $100 USD, 3 years ago or so).

Whoa, this sent me back. I cut my teeth on Red Hat Linux 5.2 (pre-RHEL), and I remember when they first added Bluecurve… oh jeez, this means im old, doesn’t it?

You could also create a network for each pair of containers that need to communicate with one another.

Do you think Microsoft understands consent?

( ) Yes

I think the parent comment means that Ladybird is fighting to be an additional browser engine in the current ecosystem of “Chromium and a couple of tiny, unimportant competitors.”

However, on the subject of the other meaning of “diversity,” and whether or not it is in the business models of either of these projects, I think we have pretty conclusive evidence that actually it is NOT a core value to either of them:

As someone directly affected by this sort of thing, I really want nothing to do with either project.

I also can’t help but notice that this “tech-right smell” is about the only thing that these two projects seem to have in common with one another, making me question Cloudflare’s intentions with this.

Netgate are _terrible_ at open source, though — they’re shit at accepting contributions, they’re shit at providing attribution, and they’re shit at providing any support whatsoever to anyone who prefers other hardware (even with their paid software).

So I really can’t say I recommend their hardware…

vendors like Ubiquiti who base their work on OpenWRT anyway

I thought Ubiquity’s firmwares were all based on Debian. Is this no longer the case?

What the fuck up does this do?

This is kind of neat. I appreciate how well it falls into the whole Unix philosophy of small tools that do one thing really well.

One thing I’m kind of curious about from a UI standpoint is why the exponential argument isn’t a double-hyphen flag. It kind of feels like it should be, given all of the other arguments are flags.

Have you ever seen the size of modern OS installs?

These days all of my “Debian” bare metal systems are technically running Proxmox, which I think is a relatively happy medium as far as the base Debian system goes — the Proxmox kernel is basically the Ubuntu kernel, but otherwise it’s a pretty standard Debian system.

I’ve thought about (ab)using a Proxmox repository on an otherwise stock Debian system before just for the kernel…

you can of course guess it most of the time

In what scenarios is a GitHub clone URL ever different from what one what “guess”?

I’m genuinely curious — all of the GitHub git clone URLs I’ve encountered were the exact same format. (https://github.com/$user/$repository with an optional “.git” at the end of the URL)

While I agree that we should have legal codes protecting our online and digital rights, I’m convinced that there are enough Bad People on the Internet that we do indeed still need strong technical protections as well.

You can get used Griffin iMates on eBay from time to time, but you'll want to solder in a new coin cell battery.

To my knowledge, this hasn’t been the case for years, and I’ve never noticed any extra visual glitching on Linux.

I was informed that Podman at least has a `podman image scp` function for doing just this...

The standard is, well, a standard, and that’s why PoE is safe in the first place. Adding per-port fuses won’t stop bad cable from burning, because the fuse would have to be sized for the rating of the PoE switch.

This is why you don’t want “fake” Cat6 etc. cable. I’ve seen copper-clad aluminum sold as cat6 cable before, but that shit will break 100% of the time and a broken cable will absolutely catch fire from a standard 802.at switch.

I’ll definitely check it out if it’s ever published as open source software!

Source available isn’t my cup of tea (especially for programming languages), and I’m not exactly a big fan of Gumroad either…

I haven’t seen the ads, but Oracle Cloud is definitely the public cloud provider with the most generous free tier. That’s not to say you should use and trust them, but I can see why many would.

It’s funny to me that this post calls out Podman-Compose as “not actively maintained” with its last commit being 5 months ago, then turns around to recommend Podlet (whose last commit was…5 months ago) as an alternative.

Podlet can be useful and helpful, but ultimately it doesn’t support many of the features of Docker Compose and doesn’t always provide a clean translation. In particular, Podlet doesn’t support stacking multiple yaml files (e.g., -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml)

As someone with pretty bad hemorrhoids, I’m hesitant to ask my doctor about surgery because I’ve been told the hemorrhoids will come back, without question. So it’s even still just a temporary fix…

I’ve used waypipe for this before. https://github.com/deepin-community/waypipe

This looks like it might work on my ordinary Dell Latitude laptop, which certainly doesn't support QMK for its internal keyboard as much as I wish it did!

The newer hardware is even better, but I have the compact desktop version of this 24-port MikroTik switch: https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-css326-24g-2srm-review...

The one you linked unfortunately only runs SwOS, which is really not very good.

However, current versions of RouterOS (i.e., any 7.x version) do IPv6 natively without an additional package.

That’s whataboutism — Apple slowly has been precluding all of those from getting the latest updates officially (I think the iMac Pro is the last supported Mac without a T2 chip), and they’re ostensibly supposed to go into the landfill too, and that’s also bad!

It’s like using ssh-keygen to generate an SSH key, and entering your chosen password when prompted. This encrypts the private key, which is otherwise completely independent from the password. Not derived from it, just used to lock it.

This was ultimately what I needed to do when I wrote a systemd service that managed some firewall rules. It really was a footgun though, what with having essentially different meanings/purposes for ExecStop whether you’re doing a Type=forking, a Type=oneshot, or a Type=oneshot with RemainAfterExit=yes.

And relatedly, I honestly have no idea when I’d want to use ExecStartPre, or multiple ExecStarts, or ExecStartPost, and so on.
