@algernon I think oracle offer a free tier which includes arm64

@dwm I’d be happy to mentor if you choose to do that

Do a bad job for the Fascists.

A post by laxsara:
the meaning of life is summed up in the story elmer
bendiner tells about how when he was a pilot the
second world war, his plane was hit with a barrage of
anti-aircraft fire from the nazi forces but the crew
survived. and how everyone was saying it was a
miracle until they investigated the shells that got in
the fuselage and found there was no explosive
charges in any of them. in one they found a note
scribbled in czech, written by the person who had
been forced to manufacture the shells, and it just
said 'this is all we can do for you now.

every time i see someone acting tough online about
how harm reduction is pointless and in some
convoluted way worse than doing nothing i think
about that person in some soul-destroying nazi
factory in occupied czechoslovakia removing all of
the explosive charges from their anti-aircraft shells
and writing a note that they must have known would
probably never be read, just to say 'this is all we can
do for you, and we're going to do it. they are trying
to make us kill you and we refuse. i do think that
maybe it's all going to be okay.

@goldmann in 2 days I hit 10 years at fedoraplace. Will I get my puck!??

@elmiko @mattb they’re different!

@pwaring you can also tell find to -delete

Today I wrote: Perl, Lua, vimscript, Haskell, Behave; I think that’s it.

@hyde I didn’t! I’ll take a look.
My plug-in was written as a precursor to another, an alternative to task wiki, which is still in development. Marksman could potentially replace micro wiki

I wrote a little NeoVim plugin to scratch an itch. It adds some wiki functionality to Markdown documents: https://github.com/jmtd/nvim-microwiki #software #neovim #lua #markdown

Poked at a neovim/TreeSitter thing again this evening. Enormously frustrating experience

Missing last tracks on two CDs, bad metadata, no album art: the full authentic classic CD ripping experience

Dunno if sesse is on the Fediverse, but his recent blog post about bcachefs was interesting to me

How quaint! I got a CD! Now I'm ripping it. And the last track won't rip.
