@zhenech that was the one. Thanks!

I was enjoying a blog post on the Fediverse about Canonical’s recruitment process but I only half read it and my mastodon client has lost it. Does anyone know which one it might have been? Thanks!

@lproven @bloor @neil that’s likely who I mean, yes!

@lproven @bloor @neil the Prague-Brno train (the one run by students) remains my best train experience *ever*. Leaves first class uk trains in the dust

Rapidly trying to read up on School refusal :(

@brittcoxon if it’s a wire break (e.g. in the band) it’s likely possible. Other kinds of failure lower chance unfortunately

I've spent *hours* poking at podman behaviour when remapping UIDs (--userns=auto) and weirdness around file descriptors. Good news is it was fixed sometime between 4.9.3 and 5.4.2

Since I'm poking at httpds-inside-containers, I re-discovered Apache HTTPD's abuse of SIGWINCH. Resize the terminal running the apache container, and it dies: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50669

@mhoye the relevant tool is feh, and my script appears to be feh --no-fehbg --bg-fill --randomize /path/to/dir/of/wallpapers

@mart_brooks Yes I lean towards any logging going to stdout or stderr. If a user wants to distinguish error log from access log they should need to configure accordingly, provide a volume mount, etc.

Should a containerised httpd log to standard error/out (and let the container system handle logs)? For errors? For accesses?

@mdione @arrjay @mhoye I do that! But I tend to edit down copied-out history anyway (remove my hostname etc), so I might as well not be doing it

@mhoye I’ll dig them out first thing tomorrow. Sorry for the tease (not near the computer)

@mhoye quake3 on a hot key, configured to a given map, skill level, and 5 minute max match length. Fantastic palette cleanser

@mhoye oh another really good one: adjust the key repeat delay interval from the default (in my case reduce it a lot: something like xset r rate 200 30. No idea for wayland). I think that’s Like being bitten by a radioactive spider

@mhoye a keyboard shortcut to change my wallpaper to a random one from a list

New blog post: Linux Mount Namespaces https://jmtd.net/log/mount_namespaces/ #containers #linux

Spent the afternoon digging into the guts of Linux namespaces and… the horror

Bandcamp's new Playlists seem to be Bandcamp's old Playlists, with a new sharing feature. Odd that their new announcement page leads with all the things you can't do with them: https://bandcamp.com/about_playlists; also a bit perplexing that you still can't access them on web at all, mobile app only 🤦‍♂️ #music

@neil the whole rss versus atom thing (what do we call their category?) reminds me a lot of Fediverse versus mastodon.
