Here's a different kind of workflow engine with a proper DSL. It turns out config management is the same problem as workflow engines, if you use my modern definition of config management. https://github.com/purpleidea&#

This will just force them to build in some sort of revenue extraction model. Pass! Git and copyleft are fine as is.

Microsoft Azure has always been a clown show. I've found so many obvious bugs. The quality is not there and never will be. No serious companies rely on it. Use virtually any other vendor or host it yourself.

What's the chance this will even work on Linux with GNOME?

The thing I don't understand is why it isn't a felony for the police the disable the surveillance cameras! That alone should be a crime. I get that you need search warrants and protections, but you shouldn't be able to suppre

Heathrow is still a bullshit airport: 1) Bodyscanners: body scanners are a scam 2) They took away my 100ml contain that clearly had less than 1 cm of liquid in it because it wasn't clearly labelled as "100ml". Any idiot could

How is the technical block done? Just a bot closing issues or is there some github setting for this?

I was surprised too, that I had to check the docs, so I assume the user was misinformed.

by purpleidea 10mo ago
Have a look at https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ and tell me what you think. We don't have enough docs though. Tough being an open source thing that you want to keep open.

> Using a copyleft license can add friction that reduces the amount of value your software can create in the world. That "friction" is by design. It prevents someone else from screwing over the users. The people that oppose cop

This is great work and good news, however if you want to guarantee a long-term public benefit, use copyleft without a CLA! A more well-funded company can fork this and make the new work proprietary, meaning you did all that initial developm

by purpleidea 11mo ago
Nobody is interested in proprietary editors. People only accepted vscode because most of it was open source. AIUI this is a fork of that, but seriously, push out the changes or pass.

The cool part of this adventure is that the author was able to write this DLL patch purely in rust! Good testament of how far it has come. Can't wait to see more C code ported to either Golang or Rust!

They have the same problem the U.S. EV's have: sketchy spyware software. Make everyone honest and open up the code / let people write their own code, and then let the true market rule. U.S. don't want the Chinese cars collect

I had heard something about some sort of counter being incremented in the passport when it's read, which was meant to dissuade you from messing with it, since the next check-in at a border crossing would report this information... This

The unfortunate problem with eSIM is that you can't swap it between phones.

I'm the main author of https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ and we use a lot of graphs. (Mostly DAG's actually.) In particular we'll have a DAG and then add nodes and edges to it, and then remove som

Nah this trick is crap, it's just stooging. Kind of disappointing they let it on.

I honestly don't quite understand what your offering is about. I have an RTSP (TLS) camera, which streams to my phone. That's end to end encrypted, what am I missing?

Hey, please get signal to release all the infrastructure automation code so someone could audit all of signal's infra and even fork if we ever needed to because of U.S. laws or so on. There's no reason to keep it secret and no rea

by purpleidea 1y ago
The signal org does some sketchy things. Like for example, why won't they release all of their infra automation backend code. There's no reason this and all the other tiny bits should be kept a secret!

This is neat work. I noticed on your software page some patches you had to make to get those things to compile. Have you sent those upstream? Eg, I noticed a simple 1 line bash change for example.

Honestly, I have serious FOMO about this. I am never going to run a Mac (or worse: Windows) I'm 100% on Linux, but I seriously hate it that I can't reliably work at a coffee shop for five hours. Not even doing that much other than

Maybe make the announcement after you've actually released code? Today I'm announcing I've cured cancer. Well not yet, but coming soon hopefully!

I've been playing with it, and I've been generally not impressed. There are both obvious annoying UI bugs (which should be easy to fix unless they vibe coded the whole thing) and the output of the tool isn't very good for any

Building sovereign systems management with low overhead is an incredibly important goal. For this I salute them for pursuing that path. However their mistake is that it's a hardware problem. It's actually almost entirely a softwar

I'd like to know about this product, got more info? Not a bot, just a cyclist who's fed up of drivers who don't care about my safety.
