I have a massive theory that the Nuyen in #Shadowrun is Etherium and SINs are NFTs
It basically makes Shadowrunning a lot more viable, and makes security way less shitty in the Wireless World - while also understanding all the corps are run by Crypto Bros who hate each other

People need to understand that "economic growth" is killing us, and we need to oppose it.
It's been a fundamental misunderstanding in much of the left for generations. Economic growth means greater exploitation, always, and that's the problem.

As someone who really dislikes the mega-containerization approach and has been unhappy about it since Docker came in with a splash about a decade ago, I'm happy to see a pretty well written criticism of the idea that conatiner systems like Flatpak, Docker, etc are doing a good job of making things easier or more secure for users or devs. They aren't. https://blog.brixit.nl/developers-are-lazy-thus-flatpak/
So here's me speaking favorably about Debian, Arch, Guix, Nix, etc. And all of those can use Guix or Nix as a userspace package manager.
But lord have mercy. Don't use these mega black box systems. You're just accruing a gigabyte sized ball of technical debt for every component in your operating system if you use those.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only developer complaining about Flatpak. I made a rant some time ago about the issues I encountered as a Firefox developer in both Flatpak and Snap (because you can't really separate the two at this stage).
https://fosstodon.org/@gabrielesvelto/109976029692454638
Funnily while we still have plenty of problems with them that aren't present in packaged versions of Firefox we solved many... by punching holes in the sandbox:

Last week I dunked on #Snap and #Flatpak because I think both formats are more trouble than they're worth, so here's a short thread where I actually make a few arguments against both.
This will largely address why the theoretical benefits of both formats just don't hold up in practice. That is the ability to make a single package that will work across all #Linux distributions, and a safe sandbox for the user to run untrusted applications in. 🧵 1/14
from what I recall of snapcraft, it is a distribution, too, and it happens to be ubuntu ;). You build that on an ubuntu base, and it bundles ubuntu packaged libs into the snap. So you end up with ubuntuized binaries baked in everywhere. It also tries to encapsulate application configs into ~/.snap. This is a problem because when you delete a snap, like say firefox, ALL your configs for EVERY user also are removed.

are we talking about general emails (like direct communication with customers and prospects), or marketing campaign/mailing lists?
If the latter, you may consider using a service that is dedicated to this type of messaging (Sengrid, Mailchimp, whatever). It will have its own DKIM signature and a different origin (of course present in SPF records), and would make human, hand-crafted artisan messages written with love less likely to be blocked by a blanket RBL listing.
If the former, then maybe you don't need salespeople after all. Just an OpenAI API subscription and a couple of scripts.

@bobjonkman @ghostdancer @AntennaPod @hpr In my case discovering #AWK was an introduction to the "Unix Way".

Handling data from the student records system (to make accounts for them) was so much easier than writing compiled programs!

@Dave Morriss @ghostdancer @Hacker Public Radio @AntennaPod @Bob Jonkman AWK always feels like an arcane thing to me - it's something my dad has implemented three times on three systems - and so it's kinda always been a mythical tool. But so has KornShell and that's also my default shell.

We migrated from on-prem to AWS into the LA local zone because it was discovered our app was very sensitive to database latency (previously everything was in Irvine). And because of available EBS volume types in LA, had to go with striping multiple volumes to get the IOPS the clusters needed. The hope was that LA would get volume types available in OR. Now we kind of want to migrate to OR for cost-reduction/simplicity. Striped volumes are a PITA to expand.
