I've been working on getting another major release out for my side project Materia[0], hopefully by or on the solstice. Materia is a GitOps continuous delivery tool for Podman quadlets: it handles installing/removing/updating

That's not how federation works? You wouldn't log into Mozilla's matrix server with another Matrix server's login, you would just join the :mozilla.org rooms with your normal Matrix account. That's the whole point o

Yeah I run my steps as one-shot commands to try to avoid that, but the timer/service split can be very annoying like that.

Should have been more clear: I use RandomizedOffsetSec= to add a random offset to a set start time (usually 4am), to prevent overloading the backup server, not truly random start times.

by stryan 4mo ago
Timers can work with arbitrary units (not just a similarly-named service unit) so they can be surprisingly flexible. I have a timer on my servers that starts a backup.target that fires off a full "restic backup","restic prun

My projects also require Assisted-by attribution as that's what the Fedora AI policy requires and that was the first major org with a coherent AI policy that I found when choosing it. Not sure which came first, that or Claude hijacking

It's a new batch each day, but it's not drank in the same day it's brewed I suspect. Probably a week or two later, going off some quick research into "running ales", a similar English style of brewing.

I'm assuming you're at least overseeing the creation/updates of the Ansible playbooks and have some familiarity with what is being managed outside of that. While I personally would not do that[0], I can see the reasoning behi

As far as I can tell and from some quick researching of the guys previous experience, that's all it is. I think the implication is that LLM's will be architecting and deploying the cluster setups at some point? Which sounds horrif

Glad you're taking it in-stride, I was worried I was a little too direct. Everyone and their mom is making a Discord competitor these days but being Not-Discord isn't enough to stand out. > I see what you mean, if you had a mag

From a normie perspective: - No screenshots on front page, I have no idea what it looks like - no video chat, no screen sharing - No downloadable version isn't a feature. What's a PWA? - "Live audio space" doesn't e

Having the core of your app be written in languages you self-admittedly don't understand is a bold move. I've been a big fan of the ansible-matrix playbooks for a while now so I'm willing to see this play out, but it doesn&#x

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the mindset differences come down to people used to using Docker Compose as a development environment being uncomfortable with managing things on a real/traditional/production/wh

Possibly to avoid conflicts with Nethack4[0], which was a fork of the Nethack 3.x series back when development was stalled. I think the guy behind it later joined the main Nethack dev team. [0] http://nethack4.org/

Glad to hear about the web UI changes, git-bug has been really great for my projects that exist across forges so I look forward to testing it out :)

by stryan 5mo ago
git-bug is great but it doesn't handle PRs nor does it have a method for users without commit rights to submit bugs to the project. I know they're working on the latter (something with the web UI?) but until then you still need so

You can copy physical books for storage/otherwise personal use IIRC so it's not quite as locked down as a DRMd book. Not sure what the legal state of hand copying a book and then loaning it out as it probably doesn't come up

They won't deliver to the house but they'll still deliver to that area. Amazon/etc wouldn't even deliver to the area without the infrastructure of the USPS.

Practically speaking, USPS does a lot of last mile package delivery that no one else wants to do, including Amazon. If USPS wasn't delivering to those locations no one would be. And we're not talking middle-of-no-where-Wyoming loc

Mason installs LSP servers (and other tooling if desired). So if you're managing your LSP servers elsewhere (distro package manager, etc), it's probably not doing much. Mason was always just a package manager for LSP servers. It u

This is satire right? The real lesson we learned is to actually learn how you infrastructure works and don't blindly run destructive commands in prod, AI or otherwise right?

Matrix/Element has video rooms as a Lab function and for a while it had voice rooms too. Not sure what happened to them, but either way with MatrixRTC coming out the technical underpinnings are all there, clients just need to put it al

Steam Group Chats are sort of there; no video chat but text chats and drop-in voice chats like Discord. On the other hand they're basically ephemeral, with messages disappearing from history at some given point. I also can't figur
