The holiday season is all about going from "wow it's pretty cool you can just whip that up" to "I don't really think anybody should drink that much eggnog" with your wife.

oh I have. You used to have commercials to sustain the networks that your shows ran on and your cable bill was for sevice delivery.
There are no two ways about it: ads in modern streaming are just about greed.

shifting the trust all the way down to what you find acceptable has got to be good enough for you. On Linux systems you could use your own DNS resolver. Pretty sure Fedora was one of the first to do this with DNS Caching. You could maybe set up your own self hosted DNS server. Maybe even on bare metal

I use encrypted DNS built into my router, pretty neat

because the majority of websites either should, or already are secured with TLS?

I honestly don't understand the important differences between GPL2 and GPL3

2025-11-24 18:24:26 UTC

I'm going to write all my Rust in GPL3 because we need to unfuck free software licensing a little bit. Not that anything I ever write will matter in court but the more we MIT the more we get left behind.

One of my favorite misheard lyrics is "Something takes a part of me, you and I were meant to be, a cheap buck for FritoLay"
I imagine John Davis just mangling a bag of chips while going "Da boom baH BADOO BAGH BADEEBAH"

Many of the things that I enjoy/have enjoyed are written in GoLang! My note taking app, keybase, the elvish shell, the GURPS character sheet creator, hugo, etc. It *feels* like Go is the more popular pick here, but Rust is winning this poll in my small echo chamber. Interesting!

2025-09-26 03:04:46 UTC

My last language deep dive was #Haskell. It taught me a great many things, one of which was I don't want to write more Haskell.
I'd like to pick the next adventure.

@npub197g…rlxq is in my top 5 people to listen to in the Open Source/Programmer world. DOOM #emacs, staunch protector of privacy and a remarkable self-starter, #golang sorcereress.
If you need a positive person to follow or are perhaps a woman in tech who needs inspiration, follow her!

want to avoid pickles? Just use half a cup of pickle juice from the jar. Pickles in stealth mode.

I didn't when I got hired, but we're doing a "hardware refresh" and I may get to choose. I'm deep into NixOS in WSL2 for work. While an Apple may feel simpler (especially for Emacs!) I'm worried about losing my very reliable Linux setup

2025-04-24 17:17:10 UTC

As a Linux power user/developer, when you're forced to use a Windows or an Apple machine at work, which do you choose? Feel free to expand your views in the replies.

Sure, and I do that. As a white guy in North America I mostly don't participate in the racism discussion for good reason.
In the case of @npub10fp…jh4m, who is very Jewish, getting bombed in Gaza, they might know something about racism.

the Fediverse has always been a "safe space" for people with emotional damage. If you're the kind of person who is curious and willing to challenge opinions in some attempt to learn something more, you may get lashed out at for being "ignorant" and making "your learning their problem."
Honestly when you catch a whiff of this, let them be wrong and move on. You'll have more peace. If they don't want to be challenged it's their problem.
