Some people in the comments didn’t take it as tongue-in-cheek as I did. 😝

I thought this was really funny. That’s a good collection of toe stubs.

There is a lot of stuff to learn to be good at python but I still love it.

I really like Bottles. I also tried Lutris for Battlenet which worked really well.

I don’t know all the differences between them though.

I’m running Grafana Loki for my company now and I’ll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.

I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.

I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.

Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it’s been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.

Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.

Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.

Spot on!

I was really turned off by the aesthetic but the game is awesome and it’s grown on me.

Do you post any writing online? I’d like to hear more. Your quotes and analysis were pretty poetic.

Amen ✊😔

Roborock S8+ with the dock is awesome. It’s a straight upgrade from the last gen flagship Roomba.

Way better mapping and battery life.

Since Lemmy.ml is still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear I see their posts and comments pretty regularly.

That’s why I’m aggravated that I see people complaining about those groups but haven’t seen the rhetoric their accused of. 😔

I genuinely want some links to examples. It would make me sad but I can accept if I’m wrong.

I joined Lemmy before the mass exodus, when the three major servers were Lemmy.ml, Beehaw, and Lemmygrad.

What do you mean by pointing that out?

I’ve seen more than my fair share of Lemmygrad posts and comments.

I stand by what I said.

I’m happy to look at any links to comments you dissaprove of.

It gets thrown around a lot by people who don’t know the first thing about Marxism.

I’m a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I’ve yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.

It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they’ve written about socialist philosophy.

Edit: Just to be clear, I won’t tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I’m always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I’ve just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don’t want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

Thanks for this!

That sounds like a good idea. I’ll take another look at GitHub settings. Thanks!

Since we were on the platform team we were all GitHub admins 😩. So it all relied on trust. Is there a way to block even admins?

At my current company all changes have to happen via GitHub PR and commit because we use GitOps (ex: ArgoCD with Kubernetes). Any changes you do manually are immediately overwritten when ArgoCD notices the config drift.

This makes development more annoying sometimes but I’m so damn glad when I can immediately look at GitHub for an audit trail and source of truth.

It wasn’t InfoSec in this case but I had an annoying tech lead that would merge to main without telling people, so anytime something broke I had his GitHub activity bookmarked and could rule that out first.

Man that Time’s article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn’t finish it.

It’s just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.

I thought that quote satire. Nope it’s real. JFC. 😩

I’ve used Ubuntu on many occasions but tried PopOS since last week.

It’s surprisingly good. Lots of ergonomics over Ubuntu. They have a version of the iso prepackaged with Nividia drivers.

Most surprisingly, after some install busted my sound devices (they stopped showing up), I discovered PopOS has a system refresh button that saves your home directory but reinstalls the OS to a fresh state. Very convenient.

Praise the Sun

It means “I feel the same way you do and would have said it myself, so I acknowledge and applaud that you said it first”.
