So Debian adopted a resolution on the use of “generative AI”:

Condorcet spoke: of all the options put to the vote, it must be a good compromise, an average of where the community stands.

How much of a compromise is it really, though?

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.
