   I used to use Lapis for my website, it is a lovely framework. For a long time it was what I reached for when I needed something like Rails but didn't want to deal with Rails. Been thinking about using Moonscript for some Kubernetes tem

   Your notification for the launch woke me up several times last night because you had the notification change hourly for 4 hours.

   Thanks, I've had thoughts about making it a bit more elaborate (possibly involving large language models somehow to help synthesize what's going on into the right format, and so that it's not literally the same thing every ti

   Thank you for demonstrating why I haven't written that longer post yet. I'd just be torn apart and berated for bothering to express nuance.

   They're being satirical. People usually berate my posts because I have cartoon characters for Socratic exchanges to teach people things like Kubernetes, claiming that is "unprofessional" or something. These people are sarcast

   Well, yes. I'm more focusing on user space applications here. This is why that nuance post would have to be so long. People here would probably misconstrue it to be that I want to "kill C" though. That's part of the reas

   I have a longer nuanced post to write out at some point about my feelings here, but here's the cliff's notes: We should not be developing new projects in C, and we should make it politically hard to make new projects written in C

    Realistically, you use models that make it easier to prompt away from greasiness: Positive prompt: 1girl, hacker, laptop, terminal, coffee, green hair, green eyes, ponytail, hoodie Negative prompt: worst quality, low quality, medium quality

    I would call the situation "a complete failure of management" instead of "drama".

    Yes, it runs NixOS and I am too cowardly to bother changing that any time soon. It's got everything on a giant ZFS array and most distros have poor ZFS support.

    I've wondered if that would be possible for a while, but I didn't imagine anyone would actually do that. What are the upsides and downsides of doing this? I'd love to read a writeup of how you did that and what you'll mi

    I'd set up IPv6 on there, but the problem is that I use Flannel (which is IPv4 only) and my 8 gigabit fiber ISP only gives me IPv4 connectivity. I'll look into more details, but I've slightly given up on IPv6 for now. Maybe I

    I really hope that is the case too, but for now Kubernetes sucked all the oxygen out of the room for everything else :(

    I still use Nix to build docker images, part of this is to see how bad the rest of the industry really is. It's slightly worse than I imagined it would be.

    This is why my keyboard lies and makes the numpad look like the number keys above the keyboard. It just makes things easier in the long run.

    The reason they are doing this is so that you can mount /usr as read-only or possibly on immutable storage.

    The problem with 1080p and higher on mobile devices like that is that the chips available for these devices physically cannot give a good experience at that resolution. The main limitation is memory bandwidth. It works great at 720p. Anythi
