I don't know how I hadn't discovered this sooner, but the Gardenhouse project (https://gardenhouse.pinkro.se/) is everything I've ever wanted. The novel systemd utilities reimplemented in a distro (and kernel!) agnostic way and fully stand-alone. Their tmpfiles.d implementation is particularly impressive.

Q: What do you call a hardware developer who plugged 5 V logic into a 3.3 V UART port?

A: A serial killer.

all the criticism has been said, all the takes been had. the only metaphor i have been finding consistently useful for understanding what is happening with people and "AI" is addiction, and specifically gambling addiction.

Having just read this, I'm saddened that this is still the state of alternative input devices on Linux. And the use of the phrase "accessibility maximalism" is utterly depressing. Of course we should want maximum accessibility. https://nocoffei.com/?p=451

@thezoq2 yo dawg

After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

Only the pros know its real meaning:

"Looked. Got tired. Merged."

A brand Manager getting ready for Pride Month 🌈

by Smooth Dunk

8 panel comic

Panel 1: Yellow guy is working on a laptop in the background. In the foreground is a Brand Manager. Yellow Guy: “Sir, shall I put up our rainbow profile picture?” 

Panel 2: Brand Manger snaps his head round and hisses “Cool your jets, Eugene. I’m checking the Profitometer” 

Panel 3: Gonna do my best to explain this. We see The Profitometer. A huge machine that whirs and ticks. A digital display at the top of the machine reads “Supporting Pride equals”Beneath this display is a huge gauge with “Max Loss” on the left and “Max profit” on the right. There is a needle that is pointing exactly half way between the two extremes. 

Panel 4: Close up on Brand Manager’s face. His teeth are gritted. Sweat trickles down his brow.

 Panel 5: Close up on gauge. The needle remains exactly central 

Panel 6: Close up on Brand Manager’s eyes. They are concentrating intensely. Also, more sweat.

 Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit 

Panel 8: Brand Manager screams like a football coach “GO GAY EUGENE”

@rl_dane @navi with any luck Debian forky will ship a usable openRC with fully native services

haters will try to tell you that your backup tool shouldn’t be slop that silently corrupts data

@Diziet @JeremiahFieldhaven would also run the fork if the Debian package does not get reverted

@sunweaver @Diziet @JeremiahFieldhaven I filed a bug for that today.

@rl_dane yeah....
Though I really like openrc, it is like a mature sysvinit. Once that support has landed and the rough edges are done this should be a very solid experience. The major missing services are ssh, dbus, bluetooth, some dns(avahi?), cron.

@rl_dane @benjamineskola @RootMoose haha, no. It still works, but the default is still systemd and most is catered towards that.

@rl_dane @RootMoose @benjamineskola
you'll want https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/merge_requests/11 and https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openrc/-/commits/wip/native. This works for a bare sysinit, but I did not test more than that. Note that this is highly experimental and you need to build your own packages.

@navi @benjamineskola @RootMoose @rl_dane @2something already works for sysinit, but nothing yet I would daily drive. Though I would really need testing of all init scripts that do not exist yet as native openrc service, such as ssh, apache, ...

Two schoolgirl looking black and drawn characters on the left are talking to eachother. "I like Yuri" "I love Yuri too" they're saying to each other. On the right is a picture of Yuri Gagarin saying "Thank you girls" and next to that is an explanation of how he's the first human to go to space.

Are you still only using two factor authentication? I'm way ahead of you with my 7 factor authentication 🔐
