if you have a computer you no longer use, consider donating it to your local Linux Creature.
Linux Creatures must install linux on a new device every few months in order to survive, and you may end up getting a useful computer out of it to boot.
(if the Linux Creature decides to hand it back to you instead of keeping it for their silly little experiments)
This gives me a fun idea that I will never have the time to develop so someone else does it:
A bot called "Fedi installs Gentoo" on an empty virtual machine with a Gentoo iso where on each command input it posts a poll on what to type next.
The "reinventing trains" crowd when seeing a bus:
> hurhurhur yeah and maybe also connect those "pods" to be more efficient, oh and maybe also put them on some kind of tracks so that they don't need separate drivers.
It's peak internet activism when the loudest proponents of the mode of transportation based entirely on the economy of scale don't understand the economy of scale.
Now hear me out.
Is Microsoft aware of the X11 protocol? Maybe they just needlessly trying to reinvent the wheel by screenshoting your hent^H^H^H^Hvery serious documents while there's a very mature and sound way of spying your desktop.
I mean, they could take over the maintenance of Xorg and make happy all those grey beard people who don't wish to switch to wayland.
I propose the following #Kanban board stages:
- TODO (requested)
- NO GO (blocked, cancelled)
- FO SHO (doing it)
- OH NO (testing)
- YOLO (released)
Last year I started a company, Workbrew, to provide the missing features and support for companies using Homebrew.
Workbrew is now available in private beta. It provides MDM integration, fleet configuration and remote brew command execution.
All our customers get hands-on bespoke support from the longest-running Homebrew maintainer (me!).
Happy to answer any questions here, via DM or book a call with us https://workbrew.com/demo
Please boost or share with anyone who might be interested. <3
This looks interesting
Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.
Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, #REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

You know, in the 80s people often said things like "in 40 years, everything will have computers in them", and while they weren't wrong, they severely underestimated the situation.
Our computers have computers in them. Those smaller computers often have even smaller computers inside them.
We didn't get a "everything is a computer" future, we got a future with fractal computers. The fuckers have metastasized
