I just found out about last(1)
and lastb(1)
while wondering about /var/log/wtmp. This can come in handy! The filenames remain a bit mysterious: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/127211/why-are-utmp-wtmp-and-btmp-called-as-they-are
(#snstepa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! Better not mess up with that responsibility. :-)
(#uxaaq5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha, thanks for sharing, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D
IBM has realized itās cheaper to buy Hashicorp than to buy Vault licenses
(#aiqtdda) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, things like that can really make one ill.
(#d5n4myq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I canāt think of a single one. Pretty lucky so far.
@bender@twtxt.net Holy cow, congrats on that title. I do have plugged in the more important equipment in a power strip with surge protection. The weird thing was, that only one of the monitors went black for a second. The other one (both are behind surge protection) remained operational the entire time. Maybe EMP? It was closer to the window than the other one.
(#jnfajzq) I donāt know why or how, but using gtk_window_set_geometry_hints()
has the desired effect (now?). Reading GTKās source code is too convoluted to find out whatās going on here. I canāt find a corresponding Wayland protocol.
Sway gets very slow when resizing such a window, so Iām a bit inclined to think that GTK does some weird trickery to get this to work. š¤
Either way, xiate now sets geometry hints again and floating windows have the correct size now. Finally.
(#uxaaq5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha š¤£ I saw this too and immediately thought
I have to stop using Terraform
š¤£
(#dw6meza) @bender@twtxt.net Oh my š±
(#uxaaq5q) Well, looks like Iāll be using IBM software after all ā¦ š¤£ https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-joins-ibm (We use Terraform.)
(#npqalva) @mckinley@twtxt.net Iām not sure to be honest I think itās just a straight up duplicate post. This actually does happen, itās not a bug, itās a āhuman problemā, but yeah itās annoying, so itās making me want to figure out a way of keeping some kind of similarity db to strip duplicates out like this.
(#npqalva) @prologic@twtxt.net Are they changing unique IDs? I hate when people do that. If I ever do that with any of my feeds, feel free to mock me relentlessly.
Hmmm the feeds service needs some kind of deduping š¤ Slashdot seems to be the most frequent culprit š For example #oc2vksa and #wbx7ioq
(#dw6meza) Oh wow thatās a lot of UPS(es) š¤£
(#aiqtdda) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my god, that sounds just as awful. Yes, that really makes you want to quit. Such a waste of time and energy. Itās really dangerous for oneās mental health as well, burnout is lurking just around the corner.
No, itās not IBM. š I wonāt say what it is. š„“ I donāt think I had contact with any (contemporary) IBM software since around 2010. I love toying around with retro IBM stuff (cause thatās what I grew up with), but really no idea what theyāre up to these days. Even the IBM building in our city is long gone.
(#d5n4myq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oops. Thatās a bit scary.
Hmm, how many hardware devices have you lost due to lightning over the years? š¤ We lost a modem once, but that was it.
(#z4m2yla) Speedy recovery, @bender@twtxt.net! Ouch, @movq@www.uninformativ.de!
One of the Xfce devs tries to estimate how many people use his software and is a bit surprised:
https://alexxcons.github.io/blogpost_9.html
š
After a nearby lightning strike one of my screens turned off for a second. That was the signal to call it quits today.
(#aiqtdda) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Such piece of shit software makes me want to quit. Esp. if it is just for useless compliance garbage that never helped anybody accomplishing any real improvement. Is it from IBM? We once had to build a threat model with some terrible generator and my goodness, you canāt believe what a myriad of hopelessly useless, wrong entries it produced. Thousands of thousands of lines. At least it was markdown. We basically removed like 99% of its output after reading through every single item. Did this once and refused to touch it ever since. All hand-written now and actually helpful.
(#aiqtdda) @bender@twtxt.net It is very proprietary, yes. šš
(#z4m2yla) @bender@twtxt.net Get well soon!
(And thanks for not being one of those āitās just a coldā guys.)
(#aiqtdda) One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.
Even Word 97 could do shit like that ā¦
(#z4m2yla) @bender@twtxt.net good idea š
(#z4m2yla) @bender@twtxt.net Get well soon! š¤
(#aiqtdda) @bender@twtxt.net Oh dear. š
I have months of intense security compliance theater ahead of me and wish for a quick and painless death.
(#l2j5e2a) @bender@twtxt.net A: Yes
(#boe5pqa) @bender@twtxt.net Yup! It maybe should try to detect a pipe maybe too?
(#2v6ranq) And yes @bender@twtxt.net pods will reintroduce old root Twts like this back into active caches š¤£ Just not the ones in/between (old replies)
(#2v6ranq) Funny how well shit works that weāve collectively built š¤£
(#2v6ranq) @jdtron@tilde.team As did I š¤£
(#ujlhoma) @bender@twtxt.net Haha š
(#ujlhoma) @bender@twtxt.net LOL š I tried to even read the blog post, but I couldnāt. In all bluntness and honestly the layout and style of the website is total garbage, not to mention itās written in a language I cannot read, but because itās just so poorly written the translation service canāt translate it properly š¤¦āāļø So point across FAIL
(#ujlhoma) @bender@twtxt.net What is?! š
(#4h6nt7a) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh yea! Iāll setup some CD for it this weekend š
(#ujlhoma) @bender@twtxt.net Hmmm? š¤
(#qf7pavq) @bender@twtxt.net lol š
So you donāt feel a bit weird when you say āWindowsā or āPowerPointā? Itās just a brand, nothing special?
(#4h6nt7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Speaking of broken mentions, do you want to install a more recent yarns version so that my error log is not spammed anymore with 404s? 8-)
(#6axgyza) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Zero progress on mine. :-( I still rely on the official twtxt client to download the (main) feed.
(#lnornhq) Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Hahaha, didnāt think of that. :-D Nah, this guy is not creepy, heās just a melting flower snowman. ;-) Rest assured, he was unharmed on the table, you can see him here: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-21/23.JPG
(#qf7pavq) Jaja, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, immer schƶn aufmerksam der guten SteckdosenprƤsi folgen und im Anschluss in der Exzellenztabelle was eintragen und ausrechnen lassen! :-D Klingt alles recht albern. Ich schƤtz aber mal, dass einem das gar nicht mehr auffƤllt.
@bender@twtxt.net Fenster 11 ā Windows 11; KraftPunkt (or Steckdose) ā PowerPoint; Deppendrehkreuz (awesome translation btw, I had to laugh hard!) ā GitHub.
Ich fragā mich schon oft, wie das fĆ¼r die englischen Muttersprachler sein muss, all diese sogenannten Markennamen zu benutzen. āIch benutze Fenster 11! Das hier ist eine KraftPunkt-PrƤsentation. Den Kode fĆ¼r dieses Skript habe ich vom Deppendrehkreuz.ā All sowas. š¤
(#vwbo3aa) @bender@twtxt.net Makes sense. We definitely need the ability to mute feeds from the Discover feed.
(#nwv3ipq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I remember your solution. Itās very simple, I like it.
Yes, my backup target is my home server. I have a hard drive dedicated to Restic repositories. Itās still not a real backup as I donāt have anything offsite but itās better than my previous solution. I had two very old hard drives I kept plugged in to my desktop PC and I would (on very rare occasion) plug in another hard drive and copy all the files over to it. Luckily, Iāve never suffered any significant data loss and I would rather not start now. Once I have automated backups on each of my machines, the next project is getting those backups offsite.
(#6axgyza) @movq@www.uninformativ.de
If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds?
No.
And Iām also thinking of nuking my pod at some point and starting over. But maybe after we refactor a few important things.
(#nwv3ipq) @mckinley@twtxt.net My process hasnāt changed. (But the Gopher hole is gone. Hereās the file from 2023: https://movq.de/v/72fddfd8fe/2023-05-31ābackups.txt )
What is your backup target btw? This NFS drive youāre speaking of is probably hosted on one of your local servers running in your apartment/house?
(#6axgyza) @bender@twtxt.net š¤£ Bug free code, I wish. š
On a more serious note, howās the adoption of Archive Feeds going? If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds? š¤
(Iām kind of thinking about truncating my history, to be honest. Thereās a lot of twts out there, many of them out-of-context by now. Theyāre of little use except maybe for showing that twtxt/Yarn is an āactive platformā.)
(#vwbo3aa) @bender@twtxt.net I think it comes down to one of the principles Yarn.social was founded on, which is to say, users should have choices and what they āseeā is not driven by āalgorithmsā. The āDiscoverā view in and of itself has utility/value to others, and is otherwise just a āviewā of a podās cache, but I agree with you. It was even getting noisey for me š¤£
(#lnornhq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Itās great to see so much āgreenā. š
The sequence of photos makes it look like you throw this (pretty creepy) snowman to the ground. š
