EatFlamingDeathon Asahi Linux Progress Report: Linux 6.19

SSDs can be resoldered, but it's a PITA and I haven't seen it becoming popular or inexpensive.

EatFlamingDeathon Gh-actions-lockfile: generate and verify lockfiles for GitHub Actions

I feel like at this point we should just abandon GitHub Actions altogether.

EatFlamingDeathon Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions

Hey man, that's not fair. They cannot enshittify what has always been shit to begin with.

EatFlamingDeathon Are touchscreens in cars dangerous?

Thanks stranger, for speaking up for all of us that hate voice control. Sometimes I just want quiet.

EatFlamingDeathon Why our website looks like an operating system

This is why we can't have nice things...

EatFlamingDeathon Playing with more user-friendly methods for multi-factor authentication

Yes, for the love of god and all that is holy, just let me use TOTP for MFA. I absolutely HATE that some banks use SMS as a method of MFA. Sometimes it's a mix of 8 character numeric password with SMS as MFA.

EatFlamingDeathon OpenFLOW – Quickly make beautiful infrastructure diagrams local to your machine

What a terrible take

EatFlamingDeathon Bypassing GitHub Actions policies in the dumbest way possible

I've been saying for years, GitHub Actions is alpha software.

EatFlamingDeathon Military grade sonic weapon is used against protesters in Serbia

Can you guys shut up about Trump just for a second? This is not about the United States.

EatFlamingDeathon Xcode constantly phones home

I sincerely don't understand how devs that use macOS put up with this crap. I remember getting a Macbook M1 from the company I used to work for and the battery life was amazing, but as soon as I needed to install Xcode I just gave up. It's unbelievably bad, fuck that.

EatFlamingDeathon Venvstacks: Virtual Environment Stacks for Python

Dependency management and imports (without a proper namespace solution) make me angry beyond reason. I love and hate Python.

EatFlamingDeathon Wazuh – Open-source security platform

Seriously, this is getting out of hand in the cybersecurity space. SAST, DAST, SBOM, WAF, SOAR, TPRM, NGFW, MSSP...

EatFlamingDeathon How do you deploy in 10 seconds?

Exactly. I mean, I understand that 45+ minutes to deploy something that takes less than a minute to build is obnoxious, but the pipeline is not always there to only build the app. Deploying in 10 seconds means no safeguards and that you can send broken code to production. And pipelines are about automation too. Having a sane pipeline that will check formatting, linting, test, build and deploy quickly to a server is not that hard. Well, if you don't care for production being down for a couple of minutes, fine, do the "10 second deployment". But, at least for me, even in really small projects, it doesn't make any sense.

EatFlamingDeathon Microsoft is introducing hidden APIs to VS Code only enabled for Copilot?

Oh my sweet summer child...

EatFlamingDeathon Perfectionism – one of the biggest productivity killers in the eng industry

This or the manager wants it perfect but complains when it takes longer

EatFlamingDeathon CRIU, a project to implement checkpoint/restore functionality for Linux

Can this be used for something like Steam Deck? It would be nice for when you are running a game and needs to stop but will resume gameplay later.

EatFlamingDeathon Glish: A version of English where every word is only one syllable

Few words do trick

EatFlamingDeathon Garbage collection for systems programmers (2023)

Thanks for the detailed response :) Sounds like I'm gonna be experimenting with Nim in the next few days. Creating CLI executables with Python is always a pain, you cannot propely create a self-contained executable without going through hoops.

EatFlamingDeathon Garbage collection for systems programmers (2023)

How's Nim in production? I really enjoyed working with the language and I've been bitten too many times by Python's package management. Do you think it's suitable for scripting too?

EatFlamingDeathon Blender 4.0 release notes

You're welcome :) I would totally watch it if they created an animated series out of it.

EatFlamingDeathon Blender 4.0 release notes

The short movie is looking amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9lj-c29dxI

EatFlamingDeathon Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data

Podman Desktop is getting really good. But the only thing preventing me from using Podman right now is the fact that Docker has BuildKit, and BuildKit has some really nice features like Secret Mounts, Cache Mounts and SSH Mounts.

EatFlamingDeathon Valve says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS not happening, there aren't enough players

iPhone? Who tf cares for iPhone gaming? Are you gonna play CS2 on an iPhone? And it's the same Apple that was barely mantaining OpenGL (an outdated version) and REFUSED to support Vulkan for their Metal Graphics API. If I remember correctly Valve helped or asked the creator of MoltenVK to open-source the project, so they could work on it as well. Yes, Apple didn't care about PC gaming AT ALL. Now they release a modified version of Wine and hope that everyone starts using it.
