totallywrong··on Gentoo Linux Goes Binary
I remember Gentoo taking more than a full day to compile on my computer back then. It did teach me a lot though, will always have a soft spot for it.
totallywrong··on Did English ever have a formal version of "you"? (2011)
And that depends on the country as well. In Colombia usted can be formal or not, as in parents using it with their children, or among friends, where supposedly tú or vos would be more appropriate.
totallywrong··on Fedora Asahi Remix
Thank you Asahi team this is awesome.
totallywrong··on Pitfalls of Helm – Insights from 3 years with the leading K8s package manager
With Pulumi you really are programming infrastructure in a language of your choice. HCL is a bad joke in comparison.
totallywrong··on Pitfalls of Helm – Insights from 3 years with the leading K8s package manager
That was just badly done as anything can be. The template engine takes some getting used to, specially without Go experience. But I'd much rather have that than a million lines of manifests as in with Kustomize. That said, you need either Argo or Flux and only deploy Helm charts with GitOps workflows.
totallywrong··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
Thanks for the overall contribution to the space, IaC has definitely come a long way. But man don't ever give us another HCL please!
totallywrong··on Xorg being removed. What does this mean?
Xorg is in maintenance mode and has security issues. I can't wait for other distros to follow suit.
totallywrong··on Welcome to the ad-free internet
> Just pay people that create products and services without spying on you.

Sadly this is nearly impossible for digital products or services, at least those worth paying for.

totallywrong··on Welcome to the ad-free internet
For real, that comment made me sad. Whenever I see the web in someone else's computer without adblockers I wonder how they didn't get off the internet altogether.
totallywrong··on OpenBao – FOSS Fork of HashiCorp Vault
I just replaced a clunky secrets manager with Mozilla SOPS and secrets-in-code that we keep in git encrypted and can version like any other file. I like this approach better than any alternative I've used so far.
totallywrong··on Show HN: Winglang – A new cloud-oriented programming language
Pulumi has the Automation API [1] which is a step in that direction.

totallywrong··on My $500M Mars rover mistake
As a young consultant, I was once one Enter away from causing a disaster, but something stopped me. I still shudder even though it didn't actually happen. Nothing of the sort in many years since, so a great lesson in retrospect I guess.
totallywrong··on Daily coffee habits may affect brain plasticity and learning
I've by now eliminated all questionable habits in my life. My morning coffee is the one I'm willing to accept potentital downsides to maintain.
totallywrong··on The Curse of Docker
I do DevOps and never once used Compose in my entire career. Single containers in my machine (in userspace with Podman) and Kubernetes in servers. 99% of the time there's an official Helm chart that installs any dependencies and has sane default, which you just tweak to your needs. This guy is doing it wrong.
totallywrong··on Somafm
Love SomaFM! The defcon channel has seen me through countless hours of intense coding. I donate every year of course. Thank you!!
totallywrong··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
OpenStack was all the rage some years ago, but I rarely hear about it these days. It does seem like a mature, viable option.
totallywrong··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
There's also Lima (CLI only) for macOS which has worked better for me than UTM.
totallywrong··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
Yes, this. I generally quite like RH stuff but RHEV was nowhere near VMware. I think it was the right move to shut it down and push Openshift VMs for hybrid workloads.
totallywrong··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
> I have no use for kubernetes, I will never use kubernetes, I do not want kubernetes anywhere near me.

I never got this religious approach to tech when it comes to work. I have my preferences but ultimately I'll do whatever pays well.

totallywrong··on What has changed in CPU cores in M3 chips?
I have a 2015 MBP with Linux that I miss every single day while using the work M1 Pro with its crappy keyboard and short key travel. The M1 is faster but doesn't impact my work much, and I find macOS really frustrating to use.
totallywrong··on Ubuntu squeezes more performance than Windows 11 on new AMD Zen 4 Threadripper
I've been using an immutable Fedora for quite a while now and it's amazing. I use toolbox and run everything in containers, including GUI apps, so not even using Flatpak which I'm not a big fan of. I think I have like 3 or 4 packages installed on top of the base image. The peace of mind while upgrading can't be overstated. Highly recommended.
totallywrong··on Ubuntu squeezes more performance than Windows 11 on new AMD Zen 4 Threadripper
Have you tried a modern Fedora? I don't know about Alienware but for me in a wide range of laptops (including Intel Macbook Pros) hardware issues are a thing of the past.
totallywrong··on Ubuntu squeezes more performance than Windows 11 on new AMD Zen 4 Threadripper
It's the complete opposite for me. With Linux I'm in control of the OS and can make it work the way I like. Sure, you need to know what you're doing but the learning curve these days is rather easy. With Windows and macOS I feel like they're treating me like an idiot and I always have to settle for 80-90% of the behaviour I want if I'm lucky.
totallywrong··on Early-life stress changes more genes in the brain than a head injury in rats
I can't imagine my childhood with the pressure to maintain an idyllic image on social networks which seems to be the number one priority of kids today.
totallywrong··on FreeBSD 14.0-Release
The problem with FreeBSD is that it couldn't keep up. No containers or VMs (jails and their homegrown HV don't cut it), fewer drivers, etc. It's great for some server use cases but I just couldn't do my work in FreeBSD. I did like it though, the docs and community are great.
totallywrong··on Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO
Let's just skip to the part where the board is gone and Altman back, shall we? It's inevitable at this point.
totallywrong··on OpenAI negotiations to reinstate Altman hit snag over board role
Plot twist: Iliya, Altman and the orher guy fired planned all this to make the board look dumb, remove them, and take full control without being held back any longer.
totallywrong··on OpenAI negotiations to reinstate Altman hit snag over board role
Well played.
totallywrong··on OpenAI negotiations to reinstate Altman hit snag over board role
Come on now, does it sound like Musk to you to leave due to the prospect of profit? Surely there was some kind of power struggle there that he couldn't win, and the mission thing was a good story to tell others.
totallywrong··on I cancelled my Replit subscription
You see that a lot, but the actual idiom is with but, look it up.
