All I have ever wanted from a machine is to be able to say, “I’m busy right now, but I’ve had a thought; here - hold this for me”…

…without it telling anyone me and my partner’s batting average.

All I need is for them to fix the public collection RSS feed bug where they embed “https,http” in the feed xml if you’re behind a reverse proxy - which breaks parsing

Muppet Treasure Island, and “Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Ep.16 - A Fire Star is Born!”

On VHS, of course!

and has integration for Oxidized, smokeping, greylog and more

They do. There’s some companies that will condition, polish, clean and even eventually rotate out the fuel as part of a subscription.

Between maintaining power supply, backup power and cooling, data centre facilities maintenance is more than a full time job.

Well, apparently Meta’s pixel tracking script was bypassing that VM and SELinux enforcment to exfil tracking impressions for years and doing it by creating webRTC dummy ports, that were chatting with their own apps (Instagram, Facebook, ?WhatsApp?-not sure). So not sure this was a great implementation to begin with.

And this was working despite sandboxing on other browsers

Thanks for the feedback - It was a systemd issue. Something caused it to continue generating slices for espanso until the machine locked up - probably spawned with each terminal. It happened on out of date fedora install 36 (when 41 was out) with gnome on it.

Since then I’ve moved to a window manager for all my machines and would likely invoke it the same way - perhaps now it’s time to revisit!

I used eapanso for a few years, but kept running in to issues with it spawning hundreds of versions of itself.

I really miss it though. Would you say it has matured?

We’re everywhere!

And search.

Ctrl +a and Ctrl +e for beginning and end of line are from Emacs.

GNU Readline is what provides them in the bash. There’s a bunch of shortcuts worth learning in there!

Most distributions I’ve tried use Emacs as the default shell binding style, some of the bindings are even available in things like appliance cli’s like Cisco IOS and clones.

Bash supports vi mode too, you just have to switch to it.

set -o vi

ZSH uses zle (ZSH Line Editor) instead of Readline, but I assume the Emacs style bindings have been copied over to zle for muscle memory portability. You can switch the keymap in zle,

bindkey -v

or set your own!

And bleaching the reefs

Yes. But also, despite having done it literally thousands of times, I still can’t tell you which way round to put the target and the link name for a softlink on the first go.

My first guess is always

ln -s $NAME $TARGET

No amount of repetition will fix this.

Sounds like you have reason to bump it up the list now - two birds with one stone.

I need to do this too. I know I have stuff deployed that has plaintext secrets in .env or even the compose. I’ll never get time to audit everything. So the more I make the baseline deployment safe, the better.

It’s common with rootless docker/podman. Something needs to start up the services, and you’re not using a root enabled docker/podman socket, so systemd it is.

Lots of this is covered in longer form, though still light detail in this video

Quite right, any country will do - that way the post is useful to more people than just me!

I’m not American, I just live somewhere where literally everything is international to me, so it doesn’t matter if it comes from Timbuktu.
