Everybody switched over to Pansexuality when it released in 2010.

There are a couple of features in the BitTorrent specs for updating torrents, like embedding a signed RSS URL in the torrent file itself, or using mutable DHT entries, but I’ve never tried them out and I couldn’t tell you which clients support those features, and you’d have to manage signing keys since those features are completely decentralized and use public and private keys to ensure authenticity. Definitely worth looking into, but I apologize I don’t have anything concrete to link for you, I’m just aware of the features in the spec.

I think most clients also support pulling torrents from plain RSS feeds containing links to torrent files. Some sites like showrss do that.

I like Rust’s style. It’s simple and it does everything you need. As much as I love Elixir, which I write at my day job, it has alias, import, use, and require, which each import things different, and it can get a bit confusing.

I can agree with this, mostly. More recently I’ve been trying to become aware of how much knowledge I’m encapsulating within functions, preferring to hide more stuff in them rather than less, and avoiding shallow functions that just, say, wrap a single line just passing along the arguments. I’ve realized over my career that I’d prefer a longer function that I can just read straight through rather than jump between a bunch of shallow functions trying to piece things together.

I remember printing out directions from Mapquest back in the 2000’s. Time is a flat circle.

Seconded, I’ve been using Ente for a couple of years now and I still love it. I pay five bucks a month for 200 GB.

Fun fact: one of their redundant data centers is in a bomb shelter. Just in case, y’know?

There’s a game in Jackbox Party Pack 11 where you make sound effects: https://www.jackboxgames.com/games/hear-say

The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being.

When I’m Russian, there’s no time for Stalin.

Birdwatching goes both ways

I’m running Prosody and it was easy to set up and the docs are good.

That’s fair

Matrix is an option but it’s slow and breaks all the time. I’m a big fan of XMPP myself but good luck convincing anyone else to make an account 😔

I host it as a docker container and the maintenance has been painless

I self-host https://woodpecker-ci.org/ and I love it. It was easy to set up, and I never have to worry about CI/CD minutes.

It’s been continued in another repo https://github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox

Homebox is great, I bought a usb label maker specifically for it

There are always more cool tricks and great plugins out there, have fun!

Also I’d recommend Neovim, it’s exactly like vim except it supports Lua scripting, so there are lots of powerful plugins that aren’t available on vanilla vim.

I’m not familiar with btrbk specifically, but my backups all send a ping to https://healthchecks.io/ when they start and when they finish. healthchecks.io works by getting a simple curl request, similar to ntfy, but if that request doesn’t happen after a certain amount of time (or if you do a start request and a succeed/fail request and the job is taking too long) then it will notify you. It can use ntfy for notifications, but it can also send emails or use any of a number other services.

This release introduces a variable called MIX_OS_DEPS_COMPILE_PARTITION_COUNT, which instructs mix deps.compile to compile dependencies in parallel.

That’s a real gem on big projects.
