Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It’s the only nerd conference I’ve ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It’s got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: “You are a nerd.”
Well shit. It’s got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
I think my favorite tale from this book is the one with the two belligerent assholes (who confront Luke and then ObiWan), being various forms of belligerent and assholes in other contexts. It’s surreal, but fitting.
I don’t hear about “The Vorkosigan Saga” anywhere near enough for how good it is.
A scientist gets trapped on a planet with only a barbarian idiot warmonger to help her survive.
Eight or so books later and we get to read about the not quite scandal across her space empire when she takes a new lover and her star romping space knight sons can’t quite figure out how to handle their new stepdad.
And a lot of star empire drama, ego, heroism, and compassion in between. It’s so fun, y’all.
Oh hey, thanks! I never particularly wanted any of my apps to route around the VPN, but there the option it is under Advanced, when split tunneling is enabled. Could be handy. Thanks!
If you’re interested in that level of control, it’s time to look hard at GrapheneOS. “Internet” is a permission you can grant or deny for each app, under GrapheneOS.
But I’m not aware of a way to selectively direct phone traffic through Proton VPN, at the phone. Even on GrapheneOS.
Enough skill with an expensive router could do it, but only on your home network, or only while routing all of your phone traffic back to your home network via yet another VPN.
Edit: TIL, Proton VPN supports split tunneling. Sweet! Look under Settings - Advanced - Split Tunneling - then pick your apps to include/exclude.
Edit 2: TIL DivestOS also supports “Internet” as a per app Permission. Very cool.
I assume you mean to check on his often they’re is the breaking changes? :)
Declarative style isn’t perfect, but it’s a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.
I think you’re looking for Ansible. Have fun!
The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a ‘check’, ‘change’, ‘verify’ pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)
Yeah. I don’t know if the ‘follow’ piece does anything useful for anyone.
But as a professional developer, I have found that my GitHub account now prevents me from getting asked FizzBuzz at interviews. So whichever bit is causing that nonsense to stop, I hope they keep.
Incidentally, for anyone who hasn’t typed ‘import antigravity’ into an interactive Python terminal…you should - as Dr Seuss says, “These things are fun, and fun is good.”
Awesome. Thanks!
It’s the year of the Linux desktop! /s
But seriously, I think I’m going to buy a SteamDeck.
That mite bee! I will cheque!
It dosent have any mispelings.
Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?
Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn’t a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.
But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.
A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a “portable app” either doesn’t use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.
If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there’s a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There’s lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.
For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.
.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point…

Yeah. I thought we all agreed that we don’t fucking swear here. What the fuck…Shit. Darn-it. /s
We could form a support group. Maybe the least healthy support group in history, but a support gro up.
In all these replies, this one actually made me wince in pain. I guess I had cleared the term AJAX from my memories.
Yeah. I consider it important to maintain a healthy agnosticism about the possibility of heaven. It’s dangerous to wait to start living as the person I want to be!
But on the topic of hell - well, I’ve needed to make two computers talk to eachother using the XML specification. I know that hell is very real.
And a Python developer is born!
