@ttyS1 @highvoltage I’ve been meaning to look into that. Do you not use something like rEFInd either?

@davidgerard for the last ten years, in-place upgrades of Debian. I’m due to do it again soon, but I’m considering the method you outline this time to get away from some technical debt. In the general case I’d probably attempt in-place updates for Ubuntu, assuming it hasn’t wandered too far from debian’s legendary stability

I wrote a work blog post about using OpenJDK's jlink/jdeps modules tooling to build really small java application containers for OpenShift: https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2025/04/17/jlink-integration-openshift-tech-preview-release

@JoshuaACNewman @mcc I have a PO-33, a Korg Monotron Delay and a Kastle v1 doing nothing. I have/had fantasies of designing and 3d-printing an itty-bitty eurorack-style enclosure/stand to house them, and to aid in hacking on them: common power input, expose more controls off the PCBs, etc.; in my head this started to resemble something from Ghost in the Shell

@mcc periodic reminder (to me) to dig out my Kastle (v1) and have some fun

@david_chisnall @GoblinQuester @jenesuispasgoth @futurebird “the lathe of heaven” is fantastic. “The left hand of darkness” is good, too.

Randomly remembering wetrix, an underrated puzzle game from the n64 era. There was a sequel but I’ve never played that.

My toolbox is overflowing, not with tools, but with screws, nails, nuts, rawl plugs, etc.: where do you keep those things? How do you organise them?

@hyperreal I’ve not played it but I was struck by how similar it looked to No Man’s Sky. I expect the similarity is mostly surface level but the optics of that (billion dollar studio ripping off beloved indie) put me off it at launch time.

@jwz not on your list, but “allow signal to [insert thing here]” -> No -> “we’ll ask you again later” is still a thing.

@stilgherrian web forms not accepting ‘+’ is still a problem even today. Worse, companies whose sites accept it one day and reject it later on (after you’ve signed up)

Is it time to buy the dip yet?

@algernon there is such a list, apparently. John Gruber blogged recently whinging about being on it

I continue to believe that Bitwarden's recent UI changes are objectively worse and I'm still grumpy about it.
