Ugh. I know that feeling. That’s why I’ve blacklisted salt stack.

There’s a particularly toxic combination of ignorance, laziness, NIH and hubris that you need to make a mistake like that, and I want it nowhere near my servers.
Now, I admit, I’m not one to get carried by the drama in the FOSS sphere (still use Gitea)
This is a bit of a “bell curve meme” situation. I’m extremely about the drama, and I’m back to gitea. The forgejo guys are good at branding, but I’m not seeing great project stewardship. I’ll take my chances with the commercial guys for now.
Remember that Twilight Zone episode where everyone is constantly trying to please this omnipotent child?
That’s our billionaire class.
There was something wonky with the mapping of OIDC attributes to user properties, so I decided to look at the seahub source and see if it would be easy to fix.
Turns out, the whole thing is held together with hope and spit. Literal beginner code.
I run seafile, but holy shit do I regret looking at the source code.
Authoritarianism is a loser ideology.
Now we have a choice: focus on identity issues, or do what is right for everyone. Good luck, world.
The trouble with that statement is that it’s always the people in power deciding what “benefits everyone” and what is “identity issues”.
For example, you can make an extremely solid argument that a focus on disability rights benefits everyone, since most people are various kinds of disabled at various points in their lives and adaptations benefit everyone now (curb cut effect). Also, we are still experiencing a global health event that is leaving random people with serious long term health issues.
However, the discourse around it in the media absolutely not that. Why? Because power, that’s why. The people that pull the strings want to spend the money in other ways, so disability rights are framed as extravagant luxuries that only benefit a minority. Meanwhile they keep systems in place that lock disabled people in government enforced poverty while the companies that pay them below minimum wage get tax breaks.
They made the hard choice of where to put the waste and stuck with it long enough to build the facility. They call it “Onkalo”. It’s a creepy marvel of engineering.
The good safety of nuclear in developed countries goes hand in hand with its costly regulatory environment, the risk for catastrophic breakdown of nuclear facilities is managed not by technically proficient design but by oversight and rules, which are expensive yes , but they also need to be because the people running the plant are it’s weakest link in terms of safety.

Unless you are in Britain, where they manage to have a costly regulatory environment and poor safety outcomes because THE PEOPLE TASKED WITH KEEPING US SAFE JUST STRAIGHT UP FALSIFY RECORDS.
Technically? Yes. Well enough anyway.
Politically? Only if you live in Finland.
My good friends Xenon and Samarium.
SMRs are DOA. They have been “the next big thing” for decades now. They need to shit or get off the pot.
Red hat I can live with. The problem is IBM.
It’s really nice hardware. And for some segments of the market, it’s not even particularly expensive compared to alternatives of similar build quality.
She was best known for Inventing the Berkley Horse, a BDSM apparatus used to position the sub in an appropriately floggable position.
So that’s what that thing is called. Good to know, thanks.
I would totally not be surprised to find out literal Neanderthals were better at disability rights than we are.
Please do! I’ve been trying to make it stick for almost a decade!
Ask your mom. Moms always know ;)
