Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.

All public and I regularly link people to my bash functions. Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi. If I need anything more complex than chezmoi for these I’ll probably give up syncing them altogether.

It’s astounding how many lowlifes are using commit counts to measure impact. It’s just throwing bisectability out the window and promoting stupid tactics for quick returns.

I use them all the time, but that’s just because of Yocto and the need to keep at least the 3 major LTS builds hot in the event something breaks.

The problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.

Edit: clarify point

I wish more distro’s packaged librewolf. I know there’s an appimage and such but I prefer native tested packages where possible.

The most useful quote to those familiar with the linux boot process:

“An attacker would need to be able to coerce a system into booting from HTTP if it’s not already doing so, and either be in a position to run the HTTP server in question or MITM traffic to it,” Matthew Garrett, a security developer and one of the original shim authors, wrote in an online interview. “An attacker (physically present or who has already compromised root on the system) could use this to subvert secure boot (add a new boot entry to a server they control, compromise shim, execute arbitrary code).”

If an attack needs root then it doesn’t matter. Your box is toast anyway. If you’re using http boot without verification then you should have seen a MITM attack coming.

Something akin to haveibeenpwned.com password hash partial match? Can that even be done with this data?

Edit: You goofs know you can calculate the hash locally and submit it for review without actually exposing your password to them right? That’s how bitwarden does it’s check. https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-version-2/#cloudflareprivacyandkanonymity

Ah, but Mozilla isn’t even trying to do anything cool like that. They just use onereap and those fuckers look shady. Quotes from their privacy policy: https://onerep.com/privacy-policy#what-data-we-collect-and-how-we-do-that

The bastards

I’m still trying to figure out good nftables rules for ipv6 prefix delegation…

I don’t think configuration languages should be turing complete. At that point you’re just writing an extension.

The above leans heavily on the idea that the political spectrum is a loop and swaying to either side too heavily incurs bias that eventually warps the initial intention

Because things weren’t already confusing enough

Remember, no snares or entanglement devices

Am I the only one who didn’t want another background service so I just wired a local Feedpushr instance to direct entries to my existing Gotify instance?

I mean, it works fine until some asshole puts HTML that their parser can’t understand in the content section but then you just need to read between the tags…

Well, when the game is essentially running in a virtual machine with an address translation layer that scrambles the backing memory every few minutes you’re lucky the game even runs. Good luck trying to decipher that hell. A few guys have done it, I remember the one dude ranting on Twitter about trying to crack Borderland’s 3 back around launch.

And then the follow up which was that Denuvo was basically adding a ~30fps overhead to the game and everyone was initially blaming the devs for releasing unoptimized garbage.

Gabe had it right, piracy is a service problem. And my motto has always been if the game has some garbage like Denuvo, then you couldn’t even pay me to take a copy. Not worth the headache.

I had a professor that did that exclusively to piss people off. It worked.

Probably not, most of those sensors work by shining an LED light through the skin and monitoring reflection/scatter as a cheap form of photoplethysmography. Anything capable of absorbing that light, like the pigment used in tattoos, will prevent it from working correctly (at least out of the box, there may be some way to adjust for it but I do not think it would be very accurate).

An infrared sensor could work, depending on the ink type. Unfortunately those are more expensive.

I kind of get it. Note apps are normally horribly cumbersome data serialization ecosystems you have to invest a lot of time into before you really feel like its doing anything more than a standard text editor could

This is where someone tracks down an upgrade path chart you didn’t know existed and points out some goofy intermediary release, not an lts for some reason, that you were supposed to upgrade to first…

FOAM3R can be used to produce multi-functional foam structures for a wide range of applications, including aircraft cabins, in-car air filters …

Auto shops hate this one simple trick

I need a better programming specific search engine. DuckDuckGo seems like it’s gotten worse at code/project searches and will now just assume you misspelled some common word.
