For those who (like me) have never heard of this distro:

aerynOS (“erinOS”) is an independent Linux distribution being built from the ground up with its own tooling. We are developing an atomic operating system which supports both declarative and imperative system management approaches, and offers rollback capabilities that help reduce the risk of system failure from unsuccessful or interrupted updates.

and here’s part of their blurb about moss:

moss looks and feels a lot like a regular package manager, however it actually manages the entire operating system via content addressable storage. Every single file from every package is deduplicated via a hash-based addressing scheme in the moss store, allowing us to produce new system roots on the fly.

omg, I never realized that kitty and calibre were maintained by the same person. I’ve avoided each one independently because the dev is a dickhead, and boy howdy am I even more sure that I’m never going to use either tool.

oh my god

i love this idea so much. I’ve been doing networking for 13 years now and I’ve never considered a dynamically addressed gateway

I’m just happy that we have more DSA members and progressives in congress. They’re still a smallish group, but I’m hoping that there may be enough of them to push truly progressive policy.

It also looks like Alaska kept its ranked-choice voting in a ballot initiative. I’m really hoping that we start to see that spread. There were also several independent candidates that did really well, which might be a sign that people are more willing to listen to 3rd parties. Fucking Chuck Schumer is already vaccilating about universal healthcare, and I’d really like for him to go get a nice swirly and then shut the fuck up.

I’ve found that the quality of code produced by my team has dropped significantly since my org pushed everyone to use LLMs. “Let me throw an agent at it” usually means “here’s another headache of a PR for me to review.” Engineers with decades of experience are writing such utter fucking crap now, and it doesn’t matter how many docs I write for their fuckass agents to ingest, the quality doesn’t seem to be getting better. They can make their agent loop on it for functionality/bug and hallucination squashing, but that usually just means I get a bloated fucking mess to review. It’s miserable and it makes me want to go shovel actual hog shit.

Sincerely,

a very sad and tired senior dev who used to enjoy his job

I bought those fancy knipex auto strippers and I Will Not Be Parted From Them™. Shit is so good.

I’d argue that humanism is a bit different from, say, Christianity. It has ancient philisophilcal roots, but it’s not like humanists are following texts from some crazy asshole tripping balls in a desert 2000 years ago.

I host an instance for my own personal use. It lives on my local network and nowhere else. I just use wg-tunnel on my phone to automagically VPN home when I’m out. It’s just not worth the headache to expose it publically IMO.

Exactly this. My troop had 50 boys and 100 adults and was all the better for it. The adults let us choose what we wanted to do and then helped to ensure it was done safely and with discipline. Parents should deffo get involved.

I think that scouting helped me in a lot of ways, although the whole “help people with a smile on your face” has caused some major difficulties in my life w.r.t. self-care. I did OA stuff, Silver Moccasin one year and then followed up teaching at the next year’s event, and submitted my Eagle paperwork on my 18th birthday (late 2000s). I was openly an atheist, but my scoutmaster and many of the other adults in the troop (we had 50 kids and 100 adults) were very understanding, and I was able to pass my eagle board of review by talking about how I was still a spiritually active person.

I had a pretty ideal experience, and I’m glad I participated. I still use stuff that I learned, and scouting helped me discover that my limits were much further than I thought.

I’m sad that something which had the potential to be helpful turned into a nightmare for so many kids. If I had kids I might still look into some of the local troops, but I’d have to be heavily involved in order to feel comfortable.
