sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.

it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

so is dracut and weston.

i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.

technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.

everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.

nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.

just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.

code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.

or mypy

Good book.

Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.

Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.

En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me

Well, Dracula in some form.

And i hope that i finally manage to read Dr. Sleep by Stephen King, because The Shining is one of my favourite books by him.

Return of reckoning is a fan run continuation of the warhammer mmo, that might be something you enjoy.

Maybe it hurds in a good way.

Nah, it’s a kernel it does kernel stuff and does not offer anything a normal user notices compared to other kernels.

It might be interesting for people who work on kernels just to see different ways on how to solve common problems.

Maybe you could afford breakfast, if you would spent less on your fancy attire!

Nope, they said it again during the live stream where they had two people play part of the third act this exile con. Every mtx that effects something that is present in both games will be shared between them. I’d guess stash tabs will be included in both games, so those should carry over.

I guess the biggest difference for users is that nostr relays don’t federate with one another. So you’ll have to query multiple relays yourself if you want to see stuff outside of the relay(s) you post to. The other big difference is that your identity is a keypair. The relays you send to only know your public key and that’s it.

E: someone running a relay could still decide you need to create an account or something, but this account is only the permission to use this specific relay. Your identity would still be your keypair, so moving to another relay is easy.

I’ll steup the morrowind total conversion “starwind” which seems like a really good star wars game set in the old republic era.

Unless a friend of mine buys baldurs gate 3. In zhat case it’ll be baldurs gate 3. I hope it lives up to divinity original sin 2.

If it doesn’t run doom, is it even a computer?

I guess some lessons need to be learned through pain.

• Commiting regulary.
• Following the branch rules.
• writing tests.
• writing tests, that test the desired not the current behaviour
• refactoring your code.
• not refactoring code, you don’t understand nor have tests for.
• actually reading code before merging a pr.
• not pulling in 23 unmantained libraries to solve a simple problem.
• keeping your dependencies up to date.
• that dirty hack will make your life harder.

Yes, all those hurt. They sometimes still do, most of us are not machines that turn caffeine into code and we are never as clever as we think we are.

Eh, if i wanted to i could scrape various instances and do whatever i want. The question is would i be able to pin information to identities without the accompanying meta data or would i only get a big text corpus.

The benefit of the fediverse is that no instance can sell the whole package, because most instances only have the posts of most users and nothing more. Reddit has way more additional data that can be used to track and identify someone.

No, the right to be forgotten is about data that can be used to identify you stored by a service provider. It’s not a right to have every record on the internet purged.

I guess you could force Instances one by one to forget you, but a single provider only has to make sure they deleted the data they stored.
