If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

(Not that you should be using dhclient anymore in this day and age...)

@zhenech
So does dhclient, in /var/lib/dhclient/leases IIRC

@brennen
Either that, or they want you to launch it so it breaks and you have to fork over money for repairs.

Do not try to explain by stupidity that which can be sufficiently explained by capitalism.

It's cool that they add 'fire' as one of the proposed uses.

Programming is more than just web stuff though ๐Ÿ˜‰

You know @mjg59 actually got his PhD on gender-related genetics, right? 'appeal to authority' is not the same thing as actually having academically researched in rather intricate detail what you're talking about.

@auschwitzmuseum

One thing I've never understood is why the Nazis kept such meticulous records of the crimes they committed.

Why did they do that? What purpose did they think it served?

I'm sure that without them, the tribunals after the war would not have been able to prove as much as they did...

This is the sort of toxic behavior in open source development that pushes minorities (and especially women) out. It's theft of our work: it denies us the history of contributions to the project and improves their own "standing".

No one,
no one, gets into the nitty gritty of why someone seemingly "hasn't contributed". The more lines of code and commits that are attributed to @Gargron@mastodon.social, the more sway he has in the project. Anyone would just take a look and say "Oh, Gargron committed the most, it's his project".

This is
not "atypical" behavior. Almost every woman I know has had code stolen from them. I've had it happen numerous times at work (which then shows up as a lack of contributions at review time) and for open source projects.

It has real and lasting consequences, both for the community and for the person whose work has been stolen. It's fucked up, it's awful, and Emelia deserves better (we all do).

@zhenech
Ah yes. The forever dilemma of "shall I spend time fixing someone else's bugs " ๐Ÿ˜‚

@zhenech
You can add a step in the role to force handlers to be processed at that point though...

De interessantste serieuze discussies zijn naar mijn mening soms degene die uit een grapje begonnen zijn, maar voel je vooral vrij om me te negeren als het je niet interesseert ๐Ÿ˜‰

Niet super groot nee, maar ook niet verwaarloosbaar. Ik heb in mijn home assistant geen detailmeting voor het fornuis, maar kan op de mains meting wel zien wanneer het fornuis aan staat. Het is meer dan noise.

Inderdaad geen uur aan 5kW, en natuurlijk is takeout duurder dan zelf koken (anders is of je eten shit of worden de koks niet betaald), maar da's een ander verhaal.
@bert_hubert

@stroobl
Alle verwarmingselementen verbruiken ontiegelijk veel stroom. Een electrisch fornuis kan makkelijk 5kW trekken als alles aan staat.

@kinnison
In the world of open source, future you can also happen to be dome other person who gets ticked off enough by a bug you wrote in your 'good enough gor now' script to decide to sit down and fix it. And then maybe do that for other things, too.

And that's just fine!

@tubetime
So what's left is the acitor?

@b0rk
Sometimes it's the right thing to do though. You can run 'less -R' and the colour codes get passed through unmolested. Or you can redirect to a file and see the output as it was originally intended, later on.

Never when doing further processing though, of course.

Belgium did away with their version of TV licences in the mid nineties, replacing it with direct subsidies coupled to various requirements (in terms of market reach and objectivity) as well as having elected politicians on the board of directors

It solved so many issues and made the public broadcaster become actually interesting...

Them: "X happened. You won't believe what happened next!"
Next page: 45 minute monetized YouTube video of pictures with voice over and simultaneous text, making it impossible to get the answer except by forcing your way through it.
Me: yt-dlp for downloading the video, whisper for transcribing the voice over into text, chatgpt to summarize the text into 3 paragraphs. "Okay, so it was very boring then" ๐Ÿ™„
