@Alex P. 👹 Ooooof I felt that blogpost hard.
Today it was literally "the entire devteam is down, but the CEO doesn't like how a document that's gone through three approvals and been in use for two years looks, so that's higher priority".
So kinda the opposite

Forever Knight (1992) was a better show than Moonlight (2008)
But seriously, they are very similar.
I think I like Moonlight better, but I want a LaCroix show rather than a Nick Knight show.
The problem with the Eulogy for DevOps is that the last 20 years has been a series of ways of defining sysadmins away and then having them re-emerge from the muck.
We'll never have DevOps disappear because it'll just be yet another beast.
Sysadmin, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure Engineer, it's all the same thing, it's just that people need to try to put us in new boxes to try to get around the fact that *making your systems reliable* is a hard and different job.

I've been at the same place for the past 4 years. My title has changed 3x. I'm still doing essentially the same thing, just on a different level of abstraction.
What makes it even funnier is that you haven't even listed my current job title: Platform Engineer. What will it be in two years? Who knows, it's all based on vibes.

The two protocols I need better tools for are RSS and IRC
I hate irssi and I don't want a webapp for RSS
@hotsoup RSS to an IRC room would be great, if I had a good rss
IRC over RSS sounds like a bad enough idea for me to take it seriously
I have invented a drink I call the St Lawrence Crossing
It's absinthe with maple syrup instead of sugar. (See - it's a Canadian Ferry and absinthe is the Green Fairy)
It's tasty

My brain just thought the words "Etsy but ActivityPub"
Basically just - do ActivityPub, add a shopping cart, and try to manage the bots - so you can have art and craft and so on focused instances with sales inside them. I... have no idea how to make this work non-evilly.
like this
But ok - if you want to *scale* activitypub with commerce - this means that the question is one of community.
Building a community with a store is really fucking hard. You have all the problems of Ebay, Etsy, and Twitter. This means building spaces like systems for Art, Writing, or whatever. And that means supporting those people. This means figuring out how to discourage advertising and brands, while supporting people who create.
I don't think this is a needle I can personally thread. I should not try.
But someone should. We should try to figure out how to do capitalism without as many siphons in the middle, at least until we can get rid of capitalism.

I just realized that this is literally OnlyFans in a lot of ways. A social network for following creators who can sell things to you easily.
And course that - that immediately got moved toward Sex Work because that's the most tech savvy and mobile group, but I think there's something valuable here.
@Jay Hannah So in this case we're looking at small vendors - so this means that you're probably looking at:
Shipping is going to be integration with the local postal service
API integration with Stripe/PayPal/whatever is pretty simple
If you want to directly take payments that's PCI DSS and also other stuff
But that's all technical detail. I'm not saying it's nothing, but it's all mostly solved problems with very common answers. But the "build a community based on selling without being a hellhole" is not even slightly solved.

This anti-pattern is the thing that makes AWS EC2 the most user hostile IME. I never want to click "Copy To Clipboard", because I often want to *select the text* which is made harder because by clicking the text changes it. I often want to put it into another clipboard than my default - but maybe I have different goals than everyone else.
And I don't want to "Open Address" most of the time. Why would I want to open it on the web! It's a brand new VM?!

@Rye yeah! I'm at the noodling stage
I just my first main cert so feel like people can take me seriously, am dreaming about my next steps because I feel like the company I work for is about to collapse, and I want to do something that feels good
this all adds up to figuring out grant writing, where to look, and more yeah, I just need to, figure that out
like this
watch adb shell wm reset and then start wiggling the cable until the screen unfucks itself.
Asking a bunch of python and JS devs for review on my current project
A bunch of fail2ban rules and a bash script that writes to sshd_config and fstab
Code review is a weird beast
"It's a thousand lines changed because I wanted to keep it small"
I didn't eat for 24 hours, and then I ate a largish breakfast.
Now my stomach is mad at me

Yup. Freezing is a known failure mode for air conditioners.
Hopefully it just means it's dirty or the fan has broken in it. Without enough airflow the evaporator coil will get too cold and freeze.
If the fan is ok and it's not dirty then it could have a more serious problem
@Bee O'Problem yeah, we had a massive spike of plants grow around it and left it for a day, and so I'm hoping that that's all it is.
If it's not that it apparently could be a coolant leak

in reply to silverwizard • • •out of order operation isn't just about changing the order of the operations. It lets you (sometimes) pre-compute the result of future instructions as long as they're not based on the output of the previous ones enabling you to parallelize what would otherwise be a single execution thread. I imagine there's a point of diminishing returns though.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •all the out-of-order execution occurs inside a single CPU
adding more CPUs won't help speed up a single-threaded program
picture a call center
an attendant is like a CPU
the attendant can pay attention to one customer at a time. the customer may issue multiple requests/instructions, and an attendant with out-of-order operation may be able to look into and satisfy some of the requests before other earlier ones
however, adding more attendants wouldn't help this one customer get faster service, unless the customer started multiple calls (threads or processes), or the attendants could pass customer requests and context on to each other (that's not permitted by the call center design; they can only transfer entire calls)
