he thought she loved him for his leather jackets 😢
retirement seems like it can be depressing sometimes. the only person i ever cut off as a bartender was an old man slamming double vodkas in the morning
i love that, for homelabbing, NixOS does a lot of secure things by default. firewall ports are opened explicitly and declaratively and services run under their own user with their own data directory. everything, even on the same local machine, communicates over HTTPS.
also, IMO the way people should have been running agents from the beginning: agents get their own user and a pared down list of tools and specific directories with specific read/write access and their own git clone of whatever code i’m working on (i hate working on the same files as an agent). (running a local Qwen 27B with Hermes)
other than that the normal stuff like fail2ban, random SSH port, VPN for remote access, Adguard, etc.
hot take: Reddit has been a “logged-in-only experience” since i started using it 15 years ago. default subs and front page have always been trash brainrot, and the real value of Reddit has always been in niche communities, ie a curated user-specific homepage.
that said, their incessant insistence on brainrot like AITA and AskReddit got me off that platform years ago at this point.
i mean, it’s a good fit for a utility like this. starts quick, runs fast, small memory footprint… all the benefits of C/C++ but with modern tooling and a sane type system.
my rule is much less strict: more than 3 files gets migrated. large Python projects are a nightmare to maintain, and performance is bad at scale. for quick experiments or data analysis it’s great.
but honestly Nushell has replaced Python for me for the most part, unless i need a specific Python package (and often i can just wrap that in a small runnable script with uv)
record numbers of “how do i connect to localhost from my friend’s laptop” and useless dashboards your devs were too busy to make, tho
it wasn’t the right GPL. pretty sure GPLv3 was a reaction to Linux adopting GPLv2
comparing Linux to Windows is hilarious.
let me introduce you to Richard Stallman, the OG Linux hater. the author and advocate for GPLv3 thought Linux was too corporate, too compromising to corporate interests.
this world of technology is about compromise. life itself is about compromise. if you want to create your own OS, your own programming language, your own set of standards, go ahead. no one is stopping you.
except, you don’t actually want that. you want text editors, browsers, email, and video games. those things depend on standards, and those standards are shared by other interests, whether you like them or agree with them or are morally aligned with them or not. that’s the sacrifice we make to fly on an airplane or drive a car on public roads or use publicly created software.
look into Free Open Source Software. not OSS, FOSS. there’s a difference. you should be cognizant of the tradeoffs.
heck maybe read some Marx/Engels.
i always tell myself this. i crashed my bike during a race, and was like “i’m gonna make a slop bowl of mac n cheese and tuna.” but… i can’t just put the tuna in with the noodles; even if it’s canned i can still sauté it in some garlic and butter. may as well add some of this togarashi for a little heat. and everyone knows mustard makes cheese taste cheesier. speaking of cheese, i got some parmigiano regiano. let’s put some of these green onions on top; first bite is with your eyes. and of course some panko will add a textural contrast…
will recommend. just use Tailscale. you may distrust any of these OIDC providers, but that doesn’t mean they can see your traffic. long term if you’re paranoid move to Wireguard or Headscale, but this is so simple it’s a no-brainer
i mean there’s a ton of alternative Python runtimes. i think Rust and Zig are compelling alternatives to C++, and these projects never felt like cash grabs to me. C++ is being systematically removed from high profile systems software for a good reason: it’s a nightmare to maintain. and Typescript support is much appreciated; JavaScript toolchains are nightmarish. all in all i think these alternative runtimes solve real problems.
i understand the cynicism, but these are software products that have to be funded to be successful.
i got some duck eggs at the farmer’s market with no plan on what to do with them. i thought i’d try them in the purest form to get a sense of the difference from chicken eggs.
my pan is too small for 3 eggs, but i haven’t made a French omelette in a while so i forgot.
the duck eggs were super rich compared to chicken eggs. salt and butter levels on point.
bavouse in full effect
