You'll find CI/CD automation probably needs to be updated. (Triggering different actions when merges to the default branch happen, or perhaps just deployments.) These are the kinda local …

It's hard to have the complete thing since they wrap around my forearm, but I made a post just for you (due to the road-runner reference, he's included along with Coyote!) https://…

I have a child, and I got a sleeve made up of various things that he was obsessed by over the years. So there's a Moomin character (Little My) because we're in Finland and he loves them, the…

Tim Hunkins is a treasure, and I love rewatching his Secret Life of Machines series every few years.

Honestly unless you're working in low-level fields, such as embedded hardware, or optimized code generation, those are real-life scenarios! (Thinking more of license-checking, and serial-number g…

Sadly it seems the blog post that was released in the past is no longer available, but the wayback machine has a copy https://web.archive.org/web/20220303135439/https:/&…

There's no federal entitlement to being paid if you're sick, so companies come up with their own policies. So companies often have a strange concept of "sick days", a specific numb…

Pies is eshewing systemd?

From the site guidelines: Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that&…

I got a Pikachu tattoo a few years ago, and after agreeing the design/placement the artist held up a series of coloured inks and made me do a binary-search, saying "This one, or that one?&qu…

I had the same thought, and similar disappointment when I couldn't find anything referencing Trogdor and his burninating ways.

100 years is nothing! I mean my local pub, for many years, was built in the 17th century. This is probably one of the European vs. American divides though.

Edge cases have probably slipped past my memory, but back in the day I iused to use qpsmtpd as an incoming SMTP server for processing a decent volume of mail. As you'll see the core of qpsmtpd wa…

30 days. Finland. Generally I'd get one extra day off for my birthday, one day if I moved house, and unpaid leave is easy enough if you suffered a death/bereavement/similar. Sick leave…

I'm sure the volunteers behind those drivers will accept your bug reports. Don't forget to be as detailed a possible.

That's the only extension I have installed too! I used to have tree-style tab, but now firefox has got native support for vertical tabs so I don't need to install anything extra. Installing …

Here in Finland there are a lot of people brought to hospital due to heart attacks whilst shoveling snow. I didn't expect that, though I can't claim to be surprised by the number of elderly …

I had meant to say that you update the system when security updates come out, automatically. But upgrade to the next stable release once a year or so, when one becomes available. (Be a point release,…

> You are getting too worked up about this No. I just see the same person in this discussion making multiple posts saying "Fedora is modern, fedora is good, stable Debian is broken, old, and …

The current "stable" distribution of Debian is version 13, codenamed trixie. It was initially released as version 13.0 on August 9th, 2025 and its latest update, version 13.3, was released o…

I read a story recently, which to be honest sounded fake, but it involved a guy donating a book to the children's hospital once every week. That helped one person, chosen at random, in a way that…

It's a business park "out of the way", so it's not really prime real estate for local people at the best of times.

Back in the day I used livejournal and for a couple of years in a row I setup a matchmaking site that paired users up. You'd login to my site and see a list of all the blogs you followed, then yo…

GitLab is no improvement over github, their features are frequently half-baked, their site is slow, and outages are just as common. I used to like Gitlab, and I've self-hosted enterprise versions…

If you're considering moving away from github due to problems with reliability/outages, then any migration to gitlab will not make you happy.

Yeah here in Finland the archive site seems to come and go on a monthly basis.

I suspect, for many, that implementing a forth is more interesting than using a forth. Once you start writing really complex programs the system gets painful and hard. But trivial things are easy, an…
