Coworker talking about Microsoft Active Directory, a while ago.

Them: And so this is what the system looks like before being added to AD.

Me: We call those systems BC.

No one laughed. Genius is not appreciated in its time.

@veroandi a more tragic last.fm vs spotify.

I find it insane how little people know about ... 11 years. Heart still aches.

Sam Altman side by side with Aaron Swartz.

I can't stop thinking about it. One was prosecuted by the US for downloading copyrighted data from 1 source for noble purposes, and committed suicide to avoid prison. The other is widely celebrated for doing this on a much larger scale.

I’ll say it again for those at the back:

An ad-blocker is a security tool.

Packaged with , now not just is trivially self-hostable, but also a way to describe your hexes with tables!

Refusing to pick a side when one of the sides is fascism is picking the fascist side.

It's not brave. It's not moral. It's just surrendering in advance.

When Stalin invaded Finland Soviet Union was thrown out of League of Nations.

When the successor state invaded Ukraine, I got a visit from the head of its successor organisation.

@MAKS23 he looks like chyort character from a Gogol's book!

@catsalad it's sifting-through-my-contact-list-to-do-lukewarm-outreach-to-find-customers-for-my-startup-which-I-self-funded-because-I-don't-like-VC-money-and-I-think-that-it's-valuable-enough-for-people-to-be-excited-about-in-terms-of-how-much-money-it-saves-to-them-but-for-some-reason-I-can't-get-my-first-customer-and-I'm-lost,-sad-and-scared time for me

@jonn I'm also surprised that something like "mask-shaming' exists. In my region in France, people wear masks if they want and nobody would ever dare to ask them to lift it off.
Sad to hear that masks could be a problem. In Asia, they are a sign of politeness even if you have only a normal cold. @luckytran

@hazelnot @luckytran omg it happened to me today in , but it was a russian woman, so make of this what you will.

My plan for refactoring for :

github.com/numtide/system-mana — allows to configure non-NixOS systemd declaratively using Nix programming language.
github.com/serokell/deploy-rs — allows to do non-privileged deploys using flakes. Works on non-NixOS linuxes via home-manager.
github.com/getsops/sops — for secret management capability, integratable with deploy-rs[1].

@adron oh, I get it now. I thought you're asking about climbing. You can change mine to "kind of" because putting legs on the table was considered to be a capitalist / Western thing in soviet union, which got engraved into my family during the occupation.

I think it was specifically for tables and was modesty-centric.

I understand that fetchers "set a dangerous precedent" and this is why, say, fetcher or other fetchers won't ever be accepted and shall have that socially privileged status...

But I also want to confess that the existence of fetchers make me so happy.

I really don't mind hosting or mirroring my stuff on because I don't have the time to pick _alll_ the battles.
