eBPF is a great tool to use for debugging this kind of thing too, e.g. [bpftrace]( https://bpftrace.org ) has an [execsnoop]( https://github.com/bpftrace/bpftrace/blob/master/tools…

https://explore.openelectricity.org.au and https://www.nem-watch.info/widgets/reneweconomy/ are a bit fun to look at to see where Australian power is coming from :-)

We've had success using Flowbite :-) We're using it with React and occasionally find the docs lacking (and go looking in the component source for the answers), but otherwise have b…

One common suggestion is to not set Bash/shell options in the shebang because if someone runs the script with the interpreter explicitly (e.g. `bash my_script.sh`, rather than `./m…

You're looking for [strict tables]( https://www.sqlite.org/stricttables.html ) and they do already exist :-) Added in 3.37.0 (2021-11-27), apparently :-)

There are alternative C libraries that are worth considering, e.g. Zig (which is what Bun itself is written in, afaiu) supports using [musl]( https://musl.libc.org ) as an alternat…

We do - and have found it very reliable and I really like it :-) One of the members of our team finds it more complex when it comes to diagnosing why things aren't running/starting…

OpenSSH also supports using a script to get the password if using the `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable, and being invoked under a non-tty input e.g. { echo '#!/bin/sh' ; echo 'ec…

In Australia you can buy pasteurised egg whites in the refrigerated section at the supermarket, could possibly be useful as an alternative :-) (Not sure if it would be available wh…

> they get declined if your account is empty too AFAIK but haven't tested it ;P Not always, at least some banks will allow you to go into overdraft and then charge a fee (e.g. $15 …

When we first got it, I used one Easiyo sachet to make one container of yogurt. From then on, I've used 1 heaped tablespoon of the last batch of yogurt and then just milk powder. M…

We have an [Easiyo]( https://easiyo.com/collections/frontpage/products/black-yogu... ) that cost ~$20AUD, and we use one tablespoon of existing yogurt and ~150grams of milk powder …

I believe probonopd is maintaining that fork as part of their work on AppImage - so it does have an active user group, which is great. (The AppImage docs suggest using zsync as a m…

(iirc) It was originally slid.es and the slides.com domain was added later, I know it's not an answer to your exact question, but slid.es was a pretty good start point too :-) (It …

LXCFS can be used with Docker as well (although the integration is manual) which can be quite helpful (eg we're using it with docker-compose and find it very helpful)

Yes it does, but it's very transparent - until you run into a few things that make it obvious, eg if you disk-image size limits, or memory limits. I work with a few people who beli…

`readlink -e /proc/$$/exe` would be a simple solution on linux -> /proc is such a fun treasure trove of process info :-) (Not sure it macOS has as much info in /proc?)

The useful thing I've found from this is that "AEG" in Australia is the same as "RIDGID" (orange) in the US and the batteries are compatible. So I've been able to buy tools that ar…

I didn't know the `CTRL-x * ` expansion; it appears to work in zsh for brace expansion: $ touch asdf-{gh,jk}-l # CTRL-x * $ touch asdf-gh-l asdf-jk-l

What is the reasoning for implying that Japan are handling the problem more effectively than others? A friend of mine living in Japan thinks there's a "burying their head in the sa…

It would be an acceptable reason for cancellation coverage with a lot of travel insurance (ymmv, but I know of less-logical reasons for cancellation that were covered).

My favourite technique for remembering this is to say "it is an apostrophe" (because it's is "it is", and has the apostrophe (in case that isn't clear :-) )).

I would also be genuinely curious whether the water usage numbers have reduced as the east cost (the majority of the population) has been impacted by long droughts since that resea…
