I was once on a video call with my sister, walking around the house and getting more and more frustrated as I did so. Eventually she asked me what I was looking for.

“I CAN’T FIND MY GODDAMN PHONE!”

She burst out laughing.

Services I know that have both HTTPS and SSH access have seen all sorts of weird stuff seemingly related to LLM bot scraping over the past few months. Enough to bring down some git servers.

Yummy!

Discourse, not Discord. The accounts are managed through the same SSO that manages Launchpad accounts, so the devs who will use this already have an account.

One of the biggest downsides of the fact that my social circle is mostly techies is that I can no longer get free 3-4 year old “junk” computers.

Yes.

I’m just enjoying how much Ubuntu’s decision to experiment with a different coreutils has resulted in people paying attention to all the stuff the FSF does.

Yeah I’ve got an e-bike and there’s no way those motorcycles belong in the bike lane. If the motor can send you that fast, it’s no longer a bicycle…

A coochie Moya. We are far from the boners of my people…

Because it gets out of my way and lets me focus on the things I really want to do.

I very intentionally have all my code in Personal Projects 🥰 and Work Projects 🏦 directories so I can find bugs in the handling of file paths.

Google were literally one of the three organisations who worked on the standard, and the top contributor to the reference implementation works there.

The best use I have for LLMs is to copy those entire comments into one with a prompt to respond to them in complete disagreement, and then say “really? When I asked ChatGPT it said this” and paste the response in.

The original Sudo is licensed under a complex web of MIT-like licenses. sudo-rs is dual-licensed under the MIT license and Apache 2.

It really varies by the distro’s policies. If it gets into 6.18, for most distributions that means the next release that hasn’t had its version freeze will get it. For Ubuntu and its variants, if there are release candidates of 6.18 at the time of the kernel freeze for 25.10 then 25.10 will probably get it. Otherwise we’ll have to wait for 26.04.

But it felt like 6 months.

Ahhh good ol’ sips. I miss his tightly edited YouTube videos.

I’m pretty sure if they had come out of Canonical they’d be GPLv3. I can’t really blame you though - I’ve pointed that out to a half dozen people, none of them seemed to know.

What I do find ironic is that one of the people who’s complaining about the MIT-licensed uutils is a big fan of alpine Linux and the MIT-licensed musl…

This isn’t Canonical. uutils has been MIT licensed and included in both Debian and Ubuntu for a while. Canonical releases a lot of their code under GPL/LGPL, including the source for canonical.com. They even release some of their stuff under the AGPL.
