I enjoy: - seamless container logs (journalctl), no weird separate logger - service start/stop/enable-at-boot no weird separate command - integration with system/user slices, trigg…

Podman has good systemd integration, in the form of quadlets. It lets you define a systemd job with some custom syntax and run it as a systemd service, and even stretches to allow …

Yes-anding this to say: For per-user gitignore, one can set the following config in ~/.gitconfig: # System-wide gitignore file # To avoid in-repo repetition for system-specifc garb…

Not an expert, but it seems NASA holds a few magazine publications for just that, it must come up often. One VERY on topic is "ISS Benefits for Humanity", which shows why the ISS b…

I really want to love uv: It's a hair away from being perfect, they just have to find a solution to the "poetry version" (bump) problem = https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/629…

Yeah I'm confused why none of the solutions presented deploy the same TF across the environments: Surely if you have dev vs prod, 90% of dev infra is also needed in prod? Then sure…

I've written mine up as I've noticed I was repeating myself a bit once my opinions stabilized. See https://jiby.tech/post/my-git-worfklow/

Note that the specific naming of hurl.dev is not random: hurl is a wrapper for curl, where the requests are stored in a plaintext file. So hurl.dev didn't roll dice and got hurl, b…

Totally, I describe it as "shorthand for most used commands + lightweight documentation". I made an entire presentation about this[1], trying to sell it to work mates. [1]: https:/…

Yes, and going further, I think you'll enjoy the amazing lib Pytest-cases[1] which enables naming the parametrized tests, listing them not as decorators but as separate functions/c…

answer to which the standard response that _led_ to "code forge" being a word, is: ok but what about all the stuff that isn't just "git on the network"? Pull requests, basic ticket…

NNCP, from http://www.nncpgo.org/ It's a protocol/tool for async file transfer, built for disconnected/intermittent connectivity amongst known parties (trusted friends as p2p), all…

Absolutely, though the default F-Droid repo is a little slow to update (in case of the twice-a-year "Youtube changed their UI, breaking the world" update), so Newpipe team recommen…

Rome ... Virginia, USA.

I'll note that France has a slight variant on that, where it's assumed that any identifiable marker of the ballot could reveal a voter's identity, bad in case of blackmail like "vo…

I'm building Mass Driver[1], a tool to automate PR creation across many (many) repos, building a library of reusable changes via "patchdriver" plugins. The repos can be fed as list…

Very straightforward reason: less capabilities for naughty executables to "live off the land" from. Kind of like the sysadmins removing any scripting languages and compilers from s…

This idea of getting historical data fused from multiple private sources, to be able to remember properly what happened, was at the core of Memacs[1], an Emacs (org-mode-based) dat…

Biscuit has been one of those pieces of tech that makes me re-think the way we organize our stack, with a couple of key ideas that make us more user-centric and enable decentralize…

https://jiby.tech/ I'm a software dev turned devops, and I try to write down opinions I haven't seen written anywhere before. Lots of Unix shell, TDD/BDD, automation, project manag…

I highly recommend using local solutions to this local issue: Zeal[1] (aka Dash[2] on MacOS) Load up the "docsets" of your languages (lightly edited HTML docs for indexing purposes…

Considering the alternative at work was an old Bugzilla instance, and code review feedback was done by email, adopting Phabricator was a breath of fresh air: good engineering-orien…

Very much agree. [small plug] I've just done a presentation at $Work saying just that: > By using Makefiles in your repos, you document and automate common "build" tasks.[1] [1]: h…

Huh, have you heard of the popular pass(1) extension pass-opt[1]? It allows one to get OTP secrets via a simple: pass otp secretname # Add -c for clipboard, as usual And because th…
