   Upstart predated systemd. I never understand the negativity that surrounds it.

   I wouldn't call it horror. More of a parody of a dystopian future. One of the best point-and-click games I've played for sure!

   If anyone hasn't played Beneath a Steel Sky, I can't recommend it enough. Its humour is some of the best writing I've seen in video games.

   Glad to see Popey lives on in Mimic 3. Does it have a better understanding of beans these days?

   Any thoughts on HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)? I've found it pretty intuitive and sufficiently powerful when needs be.

   You mean the "whale song"? It's just a quirk of the Pratt and Whitney PW1000G series at low power settings. The same engine family is fitted to new Airbus A320neos and makes the same sound. Examples: https://youtu.

    I usually refer to these as "GNU-style arguments", whether or not that's the correct terminology. The fact that Go-based utilities tend to use the `-option` style (with a single hyphen) still bothers me.

    Counterpoint - with GitHub now being part of a large database and cloud vendor (i.e. SQL Server and Azure), surely there are at least some merits to moving workloads to those technologies? Leverage internal knowledge, talent, etc.

    How's Podman's Apple Silicon (M1) support these days? Last time I checked - maybe 3 months ago - it was pretty rough.
