Perhaps, and that's not unreasonable in and of itself. But to do so in such a user-hostile manner? That's a bit over the top. A new minimal package, advertising it, and only then eventually making it the default would have been fa

In a way I'm glad it's not mentioned. As a FreeBSD user, nothing is more disheartening than to find a cool and interesting project written in a great^1 language without any packaging or distribution method other than "here&#x

Rammed earth is the one that I find fascinating. But I've not seen or heard much about it's use in the Midwest where winters tend to wet.

Except I cannot `go run ~/that/project/over/there` as the use of go modules means I have to change directory to be inside the package first. I'm not sure why that is exactly, but it's always been a nit I'v

I ran into this on FreeBSD when cryptography started using a rust core for its work. Suddenly my jails needed a full rust build environment just to install this one package. It was a frustrating day. Every time I upgrade that jail/venv

I've tried creating diagrams of this nature (not realizing this is a thing) but I chose them for documenting the system to others that weren't already familiar with the project so it felt necessary to layer it all together. Those

GNUCash is great, it definitely had a learning period for me. My biggest gripe is not with GNUCash but with the damn banks. The fact there isn't any API to download.u transactions is infuriating. My bank makes me go through so many cli

I wonder how full it'll be. The python bindings aren't complete. For instance it's impossible to add scheduled transactions. Which I'd investigating doing for tax depreciation on assets. I did eventually find the scheme

Their website is pretty crap. But. You haven't seen anything until you use their mobile app. It is definitely one of the worst thing I've seen. I mean Subaru's Starlink was way worse, but IDC it's a car and I don't

Yes, this is 100% possible with the core ansible toolkit. I don't have a copy of any of our playbooks on this as I'm at home and it's late. But it's basically just a couple of tasks. Check out `ansible.builtin.pip` to se

Agreed, as far as I could tell the thread border router is designed to be opaque to traffic traversing it. I have a huge issue with this. The fact that zwave/zigbee cannot connect to the internet is why I have so many in my home and I&

Not gonna lie, UUIDs are awful and I agree with that being a requirement. My personal favorite is actually Amazon's ID system. The fact that at a glance I know what type/class of resource something is phenomenal. Looking at you Az

I purchased in the last year or so an Intel Core i5 processor. You know what came? A cardboard box that looked like an Intel box, but was filled with four packs of Chinese playing cards. When I called to request a WTF? The nice lady insiste

If I were to guess, reloads triggered from config changes. Consul-template writes a config and then does an action. In the case of nginx, I would assume the action is to send a SIGHUP. I think haproxy would have also been an option here, it
