  • Podman Quadlets are so cool

    Jump

  • I'm now running quadlets on Garuda (my gaming/devbox), and Fedora. The impetus for this was needing to host service in an unprivileged way at work on RHEL9, so I got paid to do some learning with my own services.

    My laptop is running Bazzite, but no services there. I'll move the server to silverblue or another image based distro when I finish extracting the rest of my misadventures to containers.

  • I'm definitely interested in your experience and why you came to those conclusions because I'm not sure I can agree on the primary points.

    But I have to give you the note. Root is also user space (if privileged). I've barely ever done anything actually in kernel space, so I guess it's easy for me to screw that up.

  • I used podlet on my compose file. I was a little disappointed in the limitations, as a lot of things like variable interpolation isn't available.

    That said, the output made me wonder why I've waited! It was so much simpler than I imagined. It also helped demystify unit files a bit more.

  • I didn't use that! I had a docker-compose file and used podlet to translate (which took a little massaging due to it not supporting interpolations).

    /usr/libexec/podman/quadlet --user --dryrun was quite helpful though!

  • Or is it pique?

    ... Probably both. Peak pique.

  • TIL about Fedi-Search, an open sourced frontend to easily search the Fediverse with a lot of mainstream engines

    Jump

  • Looking at the very short script that powers the site, adding additional search engines is trivial (though at some point will make refactoring obligatory).

  • Trump really did try to drag his Musk feud into pure revenge territory.

    Jump

  • If that's the assertion you think I made, we're not speaking the same language. Of course we're rightly upset. But this article should have been more than mere ragebait.

    I'm taking issue with the article itself and that it doesn't reach the right conclusion (or really any conclusion). With the notion that it's ok at all for the government to be in a position where the whim of a shitbird, wannabe dictator toward a private person needs to be tempered against their business interests.

    In a way, Trump is right (for the wrong reasons of course) that these contracts should be reviewed. It's utterly unacceptable to be backed into a "too big to fail" corner with a single company, especially when it comes to national security.

    I'm disappointed that an article from Mother Jones didn't rail against this obvious and glaring issue with plutocracy/oligarchy: what the hell happens when the the next bromance dies and there aren't any sanity checks left? Instead, because it's missing, the article effectively further entrenches the notion that privatization of every aspect of government is right and good.

  • Trump really did try to drag his Musk feud into pure revenge territory.

    Jump

  • But it’s the review itself, that it happened at all, that should cause considerable alarm, even if it involves an unsympathetic character such as Elon Musk.

    Why should it cause alarm? It's just more of the same trashing of whatever catches their eye at a given moment as everything else has been.

    Because it's revenge? Like Trump hasn't done a hundred things like cancelling federal contracts for projects out of spite already?

    No, we're well past this pearl clutching already.

    If anything, this should be a wakeup call to Americans about the dangers of being too reliant on private companies for public needs.

  • [No PHPun Intended] "I code in PHP"

  • I thought so too until I recently inherited some asp.net code that defies basic comprehension and has existed since well before vibe coding.

  • 'Jaw-dropping' new numbers expose Trump's 'critical vulnerability': GOP pollster

  • I assume they haven't seen the rundown on the math that gets people rounded up as "alleged" gang members.

    The copium is strong right now and that's major/"legacy" media's fault.

  • Two-step system makes plastic from carbon dioxide, water and electricity

    Jump

  • We're irrevocably dependent on plastic (in the near term), so if there's an eco-friendly (not fossil fuel) path, I can be ok with it.

  • Kristi Noem Accidentally Low-Key Suggested That Trump Might Be to Blame for Deadly Texas Flooding

  • Trump tried to cut NOAA funding by billions over the first administration, but Congress basically kept funding steady.

    NOAA isn't under homeland security, so who knows why Numbskull Noem even talked about it.

    Why didn't they ask her if this was going to affect her ability to meet the arrest quota for illegals? Or if the weather response would take eyes off the border allowing the cartels to use this distraction to increase fentanyl shipments?

    At least give her the proverbial rope to hang herself with questions in her own purview.

  • That sort of thing isn't anything new. My grandpa made my dad burn his baseball cards because he thought they were becoming "idols."

    I'm always amazed that my dad managed to rebuild their relationship later in life.

  • Had a smoke detector going off randomly one night and I pulled it down only to have mama crawl all over my hand as the babies were running around like maniacs, some casting off. Mama still had a bunch on her when I got the smoke detector outside.
