so, uh, CI. if i were building one, what do you want to see?

where i'm going so far:

• multiple runner support (initially firecracker, but i'm sure there will be others)
• multiple OS support (initially linux, but i'd like at a minimum freebsd since someone's done the work to make that work in firecracker)
• custom rootfs support
• api for dynamic workflow configuration (so you can run a job to determine what jobs to run)
• the usual frontend with output live-relayed and viewing
• RBAC-based security
• cpu and memory limits
• output artifacts
• tarball a directory as an artifact if the build fails

ideas welcome

"Eating locally would only have a significant impact if transport was responsible for a large share of food’s final carbon footprint. For most foods, this is not the case.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation make up a very small amount of the emissions from food, and what (please read 'WHO') you eat is far more important than where your food traveled from."

Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good.

Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”.

Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”.

He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state.

No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

Abolish ICE.

@soatok Couldn't be me, asking my GF to help me feel out the mechanics/positioning for the smut I'm writing.

Do I bend like that? I'd better be able to, if I'm asking my characters to do it.

Professionals have standards, goddamn it!

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

Dear Mastodon friends, Telegram has started to publish their transparency data for Q1 2026. As usual, I am trying to crowdsource this information as it is only accessible per country for Telegram accounts registered with a number for that country. Here is what I have so far, if you have a Telegram account with a number not in that list, please take a screenshot of the @transparency answer and answer here or open an issue here https://github.com/Te-k/telegram-transparency/issues
Thanks and please retoot!

Substack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.

So I went ahead and made a browser extension.

Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.

Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.

Update: If you have problems with `archive.is`, Ghost Archive is now available as an alternative redirect as of version 1.2.1.

Been thinking about this old post where I failed to convince people about the unreasonable effectiveness of randomized testing, fuzzing, etc.: https://danluu.com/testing/

Since switching from hardware to software, I've constantly had people tell me, that won't work for their project because of X.

Now that I've been doing software for a while, I've fuzzed a thing that has X for every X people told me makes it infeasible and they were all easy to do, so I no longer believe comments of that form.

@sundogplanets To give an idea on the data center side:
A regular server rack draws up to 10kW, a few years ago gpu racks started going to 50kW, and current gen gpu racks need 120kW for power and cooling (if you can even afford them). The plan is to increase it further next generation.
Thats the equivalent of an entire neighborhood in ONE rack! An AI data center will have thousands of racks or more.
Its completely insane.

I'm still working on this AI data center environmental effects talk (which, let me tell you, is seriously fucking depressing), but I wanted to share the best article I've come across on this topic, in case anyone else is interested in knowing exactly how much to hate slop-AI* use: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/

(I am using slop-AI purposefully here to mean something you could do with more effort on your part, in a less energy intensive way)

there's nothing quite like the jumpscare experience of accidentally full-screening an application on a 40 inch ultrawide monitor.

like, it's absolutely staggering if your signal window is suddenly taking up your entire field of vision. one could make a horror game out of that, huh?
