@mart_brooks yeah. I’m not aware of a jq-like tool for YAML but I’m sure they exist. I probably should have broken out python. Here’s my WIP monstrosity https://github.com/jmtd/openjdk/blob/templateTemplate/templates/populate-template-community.jq

@mart_brooks I could convert this to YAML (or just round trip it through YAML) but that felt like a trap too

“Maybe I can do this JSON templating work entirely with jq”

Impatiently waiting to change broadband providers. All the prices advertised today are a fiction and if you signed up for a 2 year contract today you’d never once pay the price they are advertising, but 14% more from bill 1. This absurdity points to the ineffectiveness of OFCOM, IMHO.

@cstross @mildpeach @SteveBellovin I was given a yubikey a few years back to help a university test moving to 2fa and I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t used it yet

@liw my Fediverse client truncated your poll options so i couldn’t read them :(

@cstross @mildpeach @SteveBellovin fwiw I’m pretty surprised you haven’t heard of FIDO2/yubikeys. Maybe my circles are more niche than I thought

@znoteer thank you. Got it from the Debian booth FOSDEM. yes it’s Debian tartan! Yep i3

Happily wrote my first hledger patch and it was merged! https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/pull/2000

Bonus question! I need to cover up this egregious Windows logo. What with? Debian diversity sticker too large :( approx the size of a US quarter.
