@grifferz @alexhudson this, combined with the recent kerfuffle on lkml about inappropriate patches in the freeze cycle, are really disappointing

So: I've left nginx as Internet-facing, purely reverse proxy; lighttpd was doing some private CGI stuff so I've reconfigured it to be LAN only. Apache it seems was superfluous (pulled in via smokeping, I've since added that to lighttpd)

@mart_brooks that was what motivated me to move my personal stuff to lighttpd 10 years or so ago: In particular the relative ease of configuring fcgi

@noodles I think I've now largely forgotten the intricacies of configuring apache, perhaps a skill I should have kept sharp

@algernon heh, that's a project too far at the moment :)

Nginx is the “main” one which is mostly a reverse proxy for containers. Apache is for smokeping. Lighttpd appears to be configured for smokeping too

I seem to have nginx, apache and lighthttpd on my NAS. Perhaps time for a cull. Which should survive?

@SuperDicq @drewdevault @newt @philbetts @rahulsiddharthan the grass is always greener and all that but I'd like to see a more BSD-like split between Debian the OS and everything else ("ports" in BSD parlance) and (hopefully) work on quality particulary for the OS bit.

@SuperDicq @newt @drewdevault @philbetts @rahulsiddharthan Flatpak is just one; there are others. It's nice you feel Debian has good quality control. I feel it suffers, precicely from trying to package the universe.

@SuperDicq @newt @drewdevault @philbetts @rahulsiddharthan not at all. we have a plethora of other repositories today. Flatpak etc etc

@newt @SuperDicq @drewdevault @philbetts @rahulsiddharthan IMHO, one (perhaps the only) valid reason to package .NET Core in Debian would be if something else wanted in Debian needed it. (And wrt this hypothetical downstream dependency, there's an open question about, what *should* go into the OS layer?)

@newt @rahulsiddharthan @drewdevault @philbetts @SuperDicq I agree with most of what you are saying, but I don't agree with the premise that Debian (or any other distro) should package up the whole universe at all. It was useful in the 20th century when bandwidth was scarce. Now it's wasted work imho

@broonie thanks! Their fandom seems to be a bit more broad—minded than some older ones I’ve experienced

`Inode 4755297 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>?`

pffft of course! stupid question. Who wouldn't do that?

@drewdevault the Microsoft announcement doesn’t use the phrase “donate”. It talks about stopping being stewards and wine taking over as stewards.

Pondering this a little more: it’s Twitter thinking, shaped by the timeline being more of a torrent, where you can’t reliably find a tweet you had open if you switch apps. Instead of lists and stuff, perhaps the timeline could be browsed by time: “show me toots from lunchtime PST yesterday”

I’m curious as to how Taylor Swift fans treat the original recordings of her stuff now that the “taylor’s version” re-recordings exist. Would you be frowned at (or cancelled) if you bought one of the older ones now? Or admitted to listening to them? I wonder if all the b-sides and stuff have been reproduced.

On my Fediverse todo list: fetch lists of whom I follow; make an attempt at figuring out their time zones; add to private lists by TZZ. Rationale: the further from my TZ, the less I’m likely to see their posts. Intended as a corrective measure

@jwz @calutron I hate this too. The situation is much better on the Nintendo Switch, but still far from perfect.

Overheard: “explain it to me like i invest in crypto”
