@zhenech @flann my last experience of certbot but was it falling over if you try to put more than 7 or so hosts on a certificate. In other words It’s still clown shoes

Can anyone recommend cheap co2 monitors which can be easily queried without vendor specific apps? TIA!

the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu, but you shouldn't confuse it with gnulib, which is developed by the gnu project, who shouldn't be confused as the developers of glib, which is the gnome project, in which the g also stands for gnu

@violetmadder @wouter sitting back and watching this shitshow of a thread, I’m astonished we progressives (yes, this includes @wouter who I’ve witnessed do amazing work, inside and outside of Debian, for decades) achieve *anything* with all the own-goal infighting.

I’m still on the hunt for a blog a bit like Sf Signal: covering news and new releases of written SF. Kind of astonished I haven’t found one

It’s all in C++, though if someone hasn’t wrapped it in bindings for Python/Rust/&c. yet, surely they will

Your regular reminder that, when I am dictator of the world, if your word processing software doesn't DEFAULT to having page numbers turned on, you're getting locked in the tower

Incredibly frustrating work debugging task. Some automation is deleting a git branch from my gitlab repository, almost as soon as I push/create it. Almost certainly RHTAP but there's a maddening shortage of logs to check.

Even the backwards track which I always used to think was just filler
