🪷 28 Aug is #RedWineDay: Here's a really old vintage! It's the world's oldest bottle of wine. This Roman red wine is 1,600 years old. German experts are hesitant to #decant it. Toxic fumes?

At some point, Docker finally added this thing that I have wanted for a decade: `host-gateway`. I can now (with a simple matter of manually fixing every single Dockerfile I've ever written) do --add-host=my.host.internal.example.net=host-gateway to both run https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/run/#add-host *and* build https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/buildx/build/#add-host and automatically *share my local DevPI cache* with every container-based build

Abstractly I admire the practice of making such donations anonymously so as to avoid the motivation to donate merely for personal clout, and I can tell just from timing that some of you must have done that. But even as I appreciate that in principle, when I see mutual or follower names I recognize in the donor list they immediately and permanently go on a mental list labeled "Real Ones". Thanks to everyone, especially the ones I don't know I'm thanking ❤️

Wait. It's "malice aforethought"? I've been saying "malice of forethought" this whole fucking time. Welp, there goes my conviction rate. If I had one. And was a murder lawyer of some sort.

hey remember that RAM that tested bad and that we removed from our laptop in january?

turns out memtest86+ has a mode that outputs the linux memmap kernel parameter one needs to mark the bad memory as reserved!

this param tells the kernel not to use these 8 bytes at address 0xa3195e670 for normal memory allocation
neat!

I have really not wanted to self host a password manager because it feels like too risky a thing to fuck up, but the time may finally have come…

Which one offers the closest to 1Password’s experience and has a no AI-use policy?

I finally got around to reviving an old source distro of the addictive double deck solitaire game spider. It had been written in K&R C and most of the development was completed around 1991. I probably started playing it around then too.

Shame on 1Password.

I am a long time user, i like the product, but ever since their first crypto partnership I've been nervous about recommending them. Apparently not nervous enough.

Every company that snuggles up with DHH and writes a check is either fully supportive of DHH's hatred/bigotry, or they're under the naïve and misguided belief that technology can somehow be separated from the people who make it (and profit off of it). In either case, I won't have anything to do with anyone who has anything to do with Omarchy.

Omarchy is a honeypot for organizations that lack a conscience.

the tech industry fervor over Omarchy is so fucking confusing to me that i'm honestly starting to wonder if it's just money laundering. over TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS for a fascist's dotfiles and bash scripts is patently insane

I'm working on phase 2 of Project Improve Git's documentation and I need beta readers! Here's a signup form: https://forms.gle/swn1jhCULndnCxG87

The first topic is going to the docs on merge conflicts.

I'd love signups from anyone who uses Git on the command line and who would be interested in reading the current version of some man pages and leaving feedback about what's confusing. Especially if you're not 100% comfortable with Git!

"And then, of course, there's the human-gun gestalt, or the 'gun-man'. Putting a gun in a person's hand radically changes how they see the world and the range of potential actions that they have available to them and that might seem good. You can see that, most dramatically, in policing in the USA. When you have a gun, you're predisposed, as part of the human-gun gestalt, to look for reasons to shoot."
