An sh script is a series of things that almost any developer who uses Linux can understand: command line statements. We use them all the time. Suppose the complicated declarative model you've made doesn't work one day and the pers

It just hides the complexity in some yml files instead of in a deploy script or a sysadmin's head.

Because everyone chases the newest, shiniest thing in tech, and it's not cool nor fun to make boring old stuff in C then copy one binary and maybe a config to the server.

I very much enjoy art like this, thanks for making something fun to the site creator. There's too many "check out my framework or saas company" here and not enough of this stuff.

I've become skeptical of everyone's narrative, if anything, but why would a person realize the official narrative is usually a lie, and then go on to trust someone else or some other group blindly? My guess would be binary thinkin

All search plus some form of spaced memorization scheme for pages or blocks within pages would be nice, I wouldn't have to actively structure my notes that way. I hate structure, I'm always refactoring, so I prefer just saving thi

I think stashes are tagged with the branch name somehow? When I do a `git stash push && git stash list`, I get something like `stash@{0}: WIP on {branch}: {hash} {commit message...}`.

Or you get enough vehicles running 24/7 that you can get the customers to come get the package: "Free delivery if you can come pick your package from the van between 545am and 555am on the 24th" and then you can notify the cu

My dell died recently and I wasn't sure why, since all the components that I could check were working. It seemed like the thing just had no power. I sent it for recycling after stripping some parts, but now I wonder if this was the iss

I wish we had a world with zepplins ferrying people around, land trains with several gas turbine engines, and nuclear powered aircraft. I'm bored of the same Material design web sites, phones that look the same, every apartment is the

Ah, sure, that makes more sense. I have to retrain myself to think of "car batteries" as something other than a heavy, plastic box of acid.

Looks like I found that "home server" to replace my over-use of cloud resources that I've been looking for!

I am very glad that I sent you all a rude message requesting my account deletion a few years ago, this is an awful response to a huge issue. Good luck with the recruiting business when no one trusts you!

You can't discharge and recharge a lead acid car battery very many times before it loses capacity.

In the last week both my laptop and gaming PC died. I replaced the laptop easily (system76, first one) but finding decent motherboards and video cards is really hard right now. I'm trying to get the newest stuff, but i think everyone e

The restaurant owners aren't knowledgeable enough in this area to understand the harm from the contracts, they're not dumb, but they don't realize the power they give to the company. That's an unethical practice, to take

Yes, the unethical part is stealing the Google search results, taking the tips from the drivers instead of distributing them, etc. All the stuff you heard about over the past years. If they had an ethical business, we wouldn't be readi

This software is gross and I'll live on the street before I install it on any device I own. If my employer wants to use it on my laptop, fine, but I'll be looking for another job after I setup mouse wigglers and GPT2 models to typ

I'm interviewing with a company that's taken a month so far with 8 different calls and still 3 phone calls to go. I keep doing it because they have never been less than honest with me. Everytime I ask a hard question, like what&#x

Prisons are horrible places, we need to treat prisoners like humans who made a mistake and can be redeemed, not like cattle to extract resources and value from. In the USA, at least, prisoners are almost literally slaves and are basically t

I've been rejected because i use an .link domain, so it has 4 characters and they theft emails without 3 TLD characters! Luckily I also have an .com in that case.

One Fastmail alias can be "(asterisk)@domain.tld", by the way, so you can send and receive emails to every address possible. When you send an email from the (asterisk) alias, you can type whatever you want in the from address box.

I don't have anything other than to say this is really cool! Congrats to the creator, I love useless, cool shit like this. I prefer seeing this kind of awesome stuff instead of another boring "How we upgraded our server" blog
