@rivets thank you :)

@argv_minus_one my general perspective has been to use wireless charging to prolong the life of the phone port, but I wonder about the relative cost difference from the less efficient charging and if that’s enough to offset phone life by some amount

Passed with minor corrections!

@m @mwl yeah. My long term experience is Perl and ruby are fine; python not so much

@neil cheers!

Viva today!

@cameron_bosch @neal the bizarre, idiosyncratic and rich variety of WMs (and other stuff) was what hooked me on Linux, back in the 90s

@m @mwl counter-anecdote: I picked up maintaining a perl codebase last year, after at least 10 years off, and it was refreshingly still-working

I haven’t noticed whatever this big outage is and I feel that means I must be doing *something* right.

@elmiko OMG

@algernon once upon a time one could tune Qt apps to resemble gtk ones (or vice versa). Is that a possibility?

@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
