Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside from the aforementioned cancer.

Yes; and since everything is tastier than tomato soup, tomato sauce will be better too.

Like, what 8 letters are abbreviated between those two Ns? Are we supposed to know?

I see it’s running Ansible. That’s an obvious risk.

The writing in this article is absolutely terrible. It needs some serious clean-up before the message isn’t impaired by the medium.

I go to pixelfed to post my art and view other peoples art. that’s it. I don’t go there to read posts or what’s going on in peoples lives.

Yes but being able to do that is a design goal of the fediverse

Is it? Beause that seems really dumb.

Here’s a radical idea: sometimes, web services are built with features you don’t use. Sometimes you don’t even *value *those features. But, in cases where your preference isn’t in the majority, the decision to include those features won’t match your personal preference.

Sometimes, the ability to share and see content between different sites is even a core value.

Weird.

For more information, search “false consensus”.

You may want to learn how you can configure your own accounts on various services to manage what you see on each one. Because, to some extent, that’s a configuration option.

I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.

The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.

As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

Ha ha ha.

I love how lennart’s cancer tries to replicate fucking syslog and it’s this bad. What a mess the kids worship.

Every part of what you just said can be encapsulated in proper packaging so you don’t even need to care – about pre/post upgrades, or even dependencies and checks before it starts.

The lack of a proper release is the absolute only thing keeping me from using it.

The installation workflow begs for supply-chain exploits. Given this and its oob install, it probably breaks iso27002 as well.

I’ll wait. NextCloud and OwnCloud both have 27002-compliant installs (the latter needs some review), so I need to stick with those.

effect you

This doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Still container-dependent?

OCIS is a modern app that is massively better since its written with modern languages / frameworks

Ah, the sparkle makes it better? I know a guy who made his RAM light up in his plexiglas case, and claims it made the computer faster. Same deal?

OCIS talks a good talk, almost suggesting it’s enterprise and scalable and such, but it still suffers from the same supply-chain risk that all the black-box container miasma does, and the same “just get your kerbal space shuttle launching and then you too can host this awesome simple install” math. The ‘single black-box binary’ isn’t a good fall-back measure.

Now, I realize I’ve cast aspersions on our holy neu-paradigm installation fad, and I get the downvotes. If people don’t understand why validation is an important part of the validation-proves-consistency-thus-reliability of enterprise build/release, that’s okay. Most people don’t know they even need proper releng practice anyway, but may react with downvotes. But we need to do better where it matters; and that’s a line that’s going to seem as arbitrary as a bedtime is to a tween.

This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want something for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.

Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.

What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.

What you then realize is what you DON’T have on your consumer gear.

There’s like 2-3 watchable ‘reality’ TV series. Survivor has been watchable when I would try; the amazing race one as well. But they’re not narcissistic dreck where casuals are trying to be underpaid actors playing the worst people imaginable. They’re just game shows.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune are very affordable reality programmes too.

The rest of them are shite.
