Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign
Does anyone else have experience setting up #git in a #SharedEnvironment? What did you do for #FilePermissions?

Passkeys as successors to passwords. https://thecyberwire.com/stories/cfc959975d84402aa69206d9a2370a59/passkeys-as-successors-to-passwords #Story
I have a recurring problem with multiple users working on the same #remote codebase, in particular with #git. Because git is creating and deleting files at each stage of the game, shareable #FilePermissions get lost each time someone uses git. Any ideas on the best way to manage this?

@worldsendless You're going to hit every landmine PHP has ever had.
Use the latest supported versions; `== No` is no longer possible in 8.0+ https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php https://3v4l.org/I0GqJ
Ensure you're running with https://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting = E_ALL
`php -a` is the closest thing to a native repl, but there's others like https://github.com/ramsey/composer-repl or https://psysh.org/
Or step debugging with https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug
I am enjoying podcasts via RSS readers, but note that #emacs #elfeed does not have #FeatureParity with others but has #FeatureSuperiority . A couple notes:
- easy OPML import/export. Other good readers have this, but not all of them.
- Works without an account in the cloud -- just the RSS and my device.
- Multiple tags per entry. I have not found this on ANY other reader, where ultimately tags = directories. This is silly.
- Super-easy history and search. You would think this would be a given in this day and age, but I do not see it in other readers. For example, trying to find "spooky" in the title of a recently heard podcast was not possible outside elfeed. Further, "Which ones did I listen to this morning?" is hard, also not easy in elfeed. But at least I can search for keywords there.
I use feeder on android, which at least checks the first two boxes about good OPML support and being subscriptionless. Of course, going to my elfeed is a joy, but not when I am on the move and can't pull out my laptop.
#Defn #clojure has a new episode out. Apparently soundcloud doesn't make RSS links obvious for everything, so I grabbed theirs from reversed the URL from Apple Podcasts and plugged it into my readers. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:220484243/sounds.rss

Solution: take the link https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/general-conference-podcast/id1490483249 plug it in to https://www.labnol.org/podcast/ . The result will come out https://psd-podcast.s3.amazonaws.com/XML/1-audio-eng.xml , which you can give to your #RSS app.
The language #Clojure and #ClojureScript languages are so stable, with breaking changes being frowned upon in the culture. But breaking in the (frankly, awesome!) tooling has been my difficulty as I maintain a dozen projects of varying ages. It is a real problem. #cider #nrepl #figwheel #piggyback
Sometimes, randomly, my #Firefox cannot connect to anything. I don't know if it's from my changing locations (wifi networks) or what; other things connect fine. I have to restart the FireFox process. I have no idea why. #Troubleshooting #Error #Problem

@worldsendless
couple of benefits that apply to both #nix and #guix: declarative configuration core to the OS, you can rollback a bad install, or even a bad boot configuration at boot time, you can have confidence your config will wont break for the same version, for example, my previous config is possibly 6-8 months hold, I should be able to just "switch" it and it will work. this is what i've experienced in my multiple migrations :D

Would I recommend #emacs #EXWM as daily driver? No. But I also won't stop living in it. #GlassCannon https://orys.us/v6
It's hard to say how much I love the ad-free, bloat-free experience of #SafeTwitch #twitch . Thanks, #FireFox #LibRedirect #plugin
I just got mildly stung by the fact that #PHP is #DynamicallyTyped. Somehow on one #WordPress site a foreach over an array started choking because its datasource included a boolean, on our dev server only.
