DevOps is bad because for some reason we've decided to invent new programming languages that you can't debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It's bullshit.

"Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end"?

Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of "edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat".

C++, but a very ugly and oldschool dialect of it.

WIP dryer repair part 2: swapping out the heating coil. (lemmy.ca)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Well, the dryer has been disassembled and vacuumed, the dead coil removed, the new coil swapped in, ready to reassemble as soon as the new belt arrives. I was surprised how much of the brown shmutz in the heater was just ash from the coils - it dusted off quite shiny after I replaced the coil.

I'm a little worried about the visibly duller part of the heater assembly, hopefully that won't absorb too much heat - I tried to cluster the coils a bit looser there to compensate.

It's even visible on the reverse side.

Either way, I'm reassembling tomorrow when the new belt arrives.

WIP: Replacing heating coil in dryer (lemmy.ca)

I feel like I have a moral responsibility to attempt to repair anything before making it waste. So I'm trying my hand at the dryer. Sadly I didnt' realize that the whole tub joint pops upwards so I detached the tub from the join and then found the join comes off pretty easy anyways.

Anyhow, everything is made of garbage these days:

But I think I can replace that. But while I'm in there: any recommendations on how to lubricate the tub joint? Anything else I should be replacing while I've got it apart? I noticed the tape sealing up the exhauste has disintegrated so I figure I should replace that with a strip of aluminum duct tape.

Israel calls for all 1.1 million civilians to leave Gaza City within 24 hours in c/[email protected]

It's a war between genocidal terrorists and apartheid colonialist fascists, with a massive civilian body count on both sides. Can't we all just be sad about dead kids instead of being cheerleading freaks?

edit:

Y'know, I though this @ name was familiar and so I figured I'd take a look.

Israel is genociding and colonising Palestine since about 80 years. Ukraine was genociding Donbass for 8 years.

... yeah, I'm not sure I'm really going to take him seriously on his opinion on geopolitics. Blocked.

If India ordered a murder in Canada, there must be consequences in c/[email protected]

Not only that, but Canada has proven its firm hand on this. When China went apeshit after Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada to extradite her to the USA, Canada stuck to its guns. Even after two Canadians were taken hostage by the Chinese government in a retaliatory arrest, Meng stayed under arrest with her extradition going forward, while the rest of the world (including Modi's India) politely looked the other way rather than angering China.

India cannot possibly claim they couldn't have gotten results from Canada if they'd gone through the legal system.

Well, for one, I doubt Canada does it, and for another, the Americans at least have the self-respect to own what they're doing when somebody calls them out on it instead of switching into crybully mode and throw a diplomatic temper tantrum like Modi is.

I don't recall Obama ever pulling diplomats and visas from Pakistan when their government was angry about US airstrikes in their country.

"I didn't do it and if I did it was justified" just looks childish.

We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they're displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.

Hyphens matter. Standards matter. ISO8601 4 lyfe.

How's that one at Samba shares? I use Ghost Commander for that, but Ghost Commander's 2 pane ui is weird.

recommendations for personal and family password management? (lemmy.ca)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but recommendations for personal and family password management?

I finally switched to Firefox on my phone, because Chrome "privacy". And then when trying to find out how enable password storage, I accidentally set up Microsoft Authenticator as password management phone-wide. Realizing this meant cross-app password management, I finally accepted that my old approach of politely ignoring the problem and manually memorizing algorithmic passwords is no longer tenable. I honestly would prefer the anti-privacy approach where every service just uses oAuth and only one provider has my password, but we're not there today, so time to learn the new tech.

So basically, what's the current OSS best-practice for a one-stop-shop password management software? I know "OSS" and "big safe cloud storage provider" are kind of oxymoronic, but imho encrypted-cloud-storage is the best tradeoff between security and convenience.

And, ideally, something I could get my kids onto as well and manage some shared family-PWs as well, since I assume their password management strategies are either "reset every time" or "just use the same PW everywhere and it's a ticking time-bomb".
