As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?

Awesome. Perhaps now there will be some renewed focus on screen reader support?

We don't use X, and we don't use Facebook, and I'm not even close to feeling sorry."

Love it. Subscribed!

You may want to promote this in /c/solarpunk.

Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn't see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.

This might be fun to write actually. Basically you need a central server you connect to via a websocket that would plot points out on a map (maybe with leaflet?) on receipt of notifications pushed via said socket.

The trouble of course is that with a central server, you tend to incur costs, so you'd have to pay, unless some sort of P2P mesh could be established between participating parties. That'd be a fun problem to solve for sure.

Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.

Very cool trick. I've never been comfortable with how Python package installation is effectively arbitrary code execution. It's also a nice reminder that installing packages into a Docker environment is generally safer than going bare ~~back~~ metal.

Very slick. It looks like a thin wrapper around some pretty powerful tools, and I'm impressed that they're still useful on such a low-power device.

I wrote an assistant a while back before Whisper was a thing, but now that I see what you've done, I'm going to have to go back and refactor.

That's an interesting thought. There's a lot of cases you see where people have stripped a comic's name from the bottom of the image, but that's not really what this project was designed for. Aletheia will guarantee you that the person/company sharing the media is who they say they are, but critically it won't prevent infringement.

The example I give in my talk is that InfoWars could take a BBC news story and say "we made this", but it wouldn't let them modify that story and claim that "the BBC made this". The goal is to be able to re-connect what someone is saying with the reputation of the person saying it, with the hope that we can start delegating our trust to individuals and organisations again.

I'm working on a some materials for a class wherein I'll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we're including a section we're calling "foot guns". Basically it's ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers.

I've got the usual forgetting the . in lines like this:

$ rm -rf ./bin

As well as a bunch of other fun stories like that one time I mounted my Linux home folder into my Windows machine, forgot I did that, then deleted a parent folder.

You know, the war stories.

Tell me yours. I wanna share your mistakes so that they can learn from them.

Fun (?) side note: somehow, my entire ${HOME}/projects folder has been deleted like... just now, and I have no idea how it happened. I may have a terrible new story to add if I figure it out.

His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.
