@ggtdbz @Hello_there The author actually has a post on this, too: https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/never-click-on-a-link-that-looks-like-that/

(I'm guessing you deliberately avoided it since the person you're responding to would also refuse to click that but I think it's an interesting read for anyone who hasn't seen it)

@knokelmaat @Beachbum If you're referring to the fact that she @ mentioned OP, that's not her specifically trying to call him out. She's responding from Mastodon (as am I) which just handles all post replies like that.

@KillingAndKindess @alyaza B&J's have always been quite principled and outspoken about it - they're also staunch critics of the US prison industrial complex.

@fossilesque Don't forget those of us in the back row because we slept in and got there late!

@snow_bunny Nah, it was Sonos. Which, I guess the app ecosystem is their whole thing - but I didn't know that at the time. I just wanted a basic sound bar, and the reviews didn't really mention that all that extra fluff was mandatory.

In retrospect Sonos sucks for a lot of other reasons too, so I guess it was a bullet dodged.

@SPAUZPiMP @scarabic Oh wow, did he literally say "irreducible complexity?" That is SO blatant lol.

@theangriestbird

“Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?”

It's so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.

@WoahWoah Not to be the obnoxious didact in the room but I do feel compelled to point out that vegetables/herbs soaked in oil at room temp are generally not a good idea unless you like botulism poisoning: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/herbs-vegetables-oil-sp-50-701

Just for anyone who's not aware! Honestly, immediately shitting yourself was not even close to the worst possible outcome lol.

@kid TL;DR: If you have a secret variable in your CI/CD pipeline and it's written to a file that subsequently gets artifacted, anyone who can access that artifact can also read your secret variable.

Feels like a "no shit" moment but I guess I can see how someone could make this mistake in a more complicated setup than the example in the blog.

@shadow @V0ldek > What I’d really like to find is something like a pihole for search, where you have your blocklist, cache of things you’ve searched already (your own mini search engine?), and then a fallback engine (DDG, bing, Google, whatever) for things it doesn’t already know.

I think SearXNG sort of fulfills this, from what I've heard? It's more or less a self-hosted search engine that can combine indexes from various other engines, and I presume that means you can set your own rules and filters and such. There are public instances as well.

@agressivelyPassive @technom That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don't need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren't strictly necessary, but they're very useful for managing that history.

@SubArcticTundra Because the flavor goes into the water! That's why soup broth tastes good. Try chopping up half an onion, boiling for 10 minutes in a pot with enough water to cover them, then taste the water.
