As you mention it explicitly, EDIFACT is a big standard, but the documentation is excellent and machine parsable to generate schema/code. Years ago I wrote a library to enable an ~80 person record (vinyl/CD) distribution company

Ha, I remember this from an old Open University TV lecture. They suggested looking at the spin of a particular particle. So eventually the alien arrives and it goes to shake hands/tentacles, but it’s not holding out the right one as it

If it’s not transparent and strong enough to build a whale tank then I’m not interested.

Indeed, easy enough to get a serial device on Xen. Another possibility could be to implement a simple protocol which uses the xenstore key/value interface to pass messages between host and guest?

As Go only emerged in late 2009 then it can’t really be more than 15 years too late, can it?

Then why buy a Pi5 if you don’t have the juice? I can get a 1GB Pi3 model B shipped to my door for £27 which will run off of any mobile phone charger from the last five years (heck, I just plug mine directly into the USB socket built into t

I have written a similar server (per-device client cert required which gets you mTLS to a logon page which uses OIDC the authenticate the user and enable the tunnel) but the client is the tricky bit. I have written one in Go for the Mac whi

> cutting corners while getting paid the same and pocketing the difference. It’s not even just that. They have borrowed £60billion(!) and given it to shareholders as dividends. People should be in jail.

Quite - one makefile rather than dozens of scripts which all do practically the same things.

I build .tf files from parameters for each host in the Makefile (and script which knows the vSphere topology) for one-shot execution (it only creates the VM, it doesn’t manage the lifecycle) and also template config that needs to be done be

If scripts need particular arguments the make is a good place to record them. I use it quite a lot for automating deployments - if you want to Terraform up a VM: make colo1-fooserver01.vm Then if you want to run Ansible against it:

I live just up the road from the former Beckton gas works. Also the original Max Headroom (see username) adventure series British feature was filmed there. It amuses me.

Stating facts does not require some kind of counter narrative. Eventually you will die: What is the alternative that you envision?

This seems entirely reasonable to me. I built an application which gets used by the network team and consumes a JSON config file. The team edits a simple YAML file which is then heavily processed/checked and emitted as JSON. I’ve been
