What do you call the group that loves cops and unjust laws?

Neat!

NOS germanium transistors are still highly sought after(and therefore expensive) for music gear such as guitar distortion pedals and pre-amps. They impart a lovely ‘gooey’ quality that modern transistors just can’t do.

Could you expound on using matrix for long form content?

I host a synapse homeserver, and feel like I’m not using it to its full potential.

HashiCorp Nomad[0] can do scheduled periodic tasks across a cluster of machines. Much lighter weight than Kubernetes, but a shotgun flyswatter when compared to cron.

Well played. The “think of the children” trick is almost always effective and difficult to counter.

That tweet seemed more like espousing a belief or opinion than a direct call to action of any sort.

Do you have any citations you can share?

One of the cool features of SSB is making actual P2P a first-class feature. It works just as well on an isolated private adhoc network as it does over the web.

I wish more dencentralized/federated services operated this way.

Why does it need to compete with YouTube? Is it really a zerosum situation?

Imagine how catastrophic a wildfire could be to people who live in the areas that are burning.

In my experience using the userspace daemon on both BSD and macOS there was increased cpu overhead and slightly higher network latency compared to Linux with a module or built in.

I’ve dabbled with OpenBSD and FreeBSD for personal projects for a long time, but have never had the opportunity to use them for anything “serious”. I am trying hard to figure out a path to change this.

ZFS, Jails, VNET, and the stellar security track record are very enticing. In-kernel wireguard support was the last missing piece for me.

The elegance and simplicity of the BSDs are becoming increasingly apparent in contrast to the Linux world.

As an example, compare the jails UX to say, LXC/LXD…

There would be no YouTube if this were on the books back in the day.

Are Postgrex/Ecto usable with cockroach now?

I’m about to start a new project, and would very much like to utilize an existing cluster.

Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?

A few key points from the seeking alpha article that seem to not get the attention they deserve:

- “over the last decade, as the Federal Reserve and government have pumped more than $36 trillion into the economy”

- “for each dollar of economic growth since 2008, it required $12.67 of monetary stimulus”

- “during the last decade, economic ‘growth’ was a function of population growth“

Is “1 computer livestock” even possible?

After your single cattle is murdered, the next one has to be raised right?

State has to come from somewhere. Downtime has a cost for most businesses.

Consul[0] and Nomad [1] by HashiCorp both use raft.

TIL! Thanks for that.

It’ll be DOA at the senate.

Right. I still prefer terse help text from the command line, and more in-depth in the man pages.

I find commands with copious -h output and having to pipe that into a pager or using scroll back a far worse UX than just opening up a man page that’s easily searchable / scrollable.

This is a great resource, thanks for the effort.

I strongly disagree with the “ Don’t bother with man pages” advice. It’s extremely annoying when tools don’t provide a manpage. The overhead of opening up a browser to reference command is cumbersome and highly annoying.

There are tools such as pandoc that make generating manpages from various source formats very easy.

Perhaps it is just my grouchy old man syndrome…

I’ve ran the latest kernel with latest openzfs git since around kernel 4.x, currently on 5.9.11. I build inkernel as opposed to a module.

There have been a couple cases where I had to wait a week or two for compatibility fixed to get merged into zfs git, but otherwise staying up to date has not been a problem.

Prompting to connect to a remote server, insert a thumb drive, enter an encryption key, attach a backup drive would all be useful.

Pinephone doesn’t solve the carrier problem.

Curious why you don’t use the sync that ships with Joplin?

Daemonless and rootless are killer features.

The lack of filesystem isolation and volume support are the last things keeping me from jumping ship.

Even if they developed the server tech, it seems they’d be more likely to just use it internally to power their services as opposed to trying to reach a whole new market that historically they aren’t very good at working in.

Same!

As a super skeptical grouchy old man, something feels right about it. Not just from a technical perspective, but also the chances of it actually getting some traction and being a viable alternative to the js-laden corporate web.

Possibly working on specific frequencies and boosting/cutting those in addition to compressing transients. Sometimes referred to as “Multiband compression”
