1. You shouldn't need to be a professional sysadmin to be able to deploy a basic semi-dynamic website 2. Considering the spike of complaints over the past two years and the fact th…

Nope, just Matrix. Second best option is XMPP with various cobbled together XEPs but that has its own set of problems. For all the (sometimes rightful) grief Matrix gets, it's esse…

Speak for yourself, I love the taste of taurine. Plus there's something strangely satisfying about the taste of a standard diet Red Bull. There's no attempt at natural flavoring th…

> This may be unsatisfying for many people but the impossibility of enforcing fireworks bans in the US captures an important component of the American zeitgeist. It is annoying for…

Yeah that's an unfortunate downside of the daemon-less design. Service management (like dependencies, health checks, etc) are outsourced to systemd since there's nothing locally av…

To be clear, it doesn't explicitly not support Ubuntu or anything, it just doesn't privilege it. Podman doesn't produce packages for any distros.

> but instead to create a bespoke mechanism involving a bunch of tiny files, all of which is insanely system (linux) specific, and therefore completely non-portable. To nit pick sl…

Swapped a few years back (pre 5.0), haven't looked back. For compose files I'd look into using quadlets. For quick conversions you can use compose files directly with podman-compos…

We know they've been kicking the idea around since the first line up and I believe pretty decent leaks saying they were working on it were out around 2019.

I see a lot of people using Komodo for it, though if I had to pick I'd go with Doco CD[0]. You can also use standard Ansible for just cron+bash script to git pull. On the Podman si…

I've been working on getting another major release out for my side project Materia[0], hopefully by or on the solstice. Materia is a GitOps continuous delivery tool for Podman quad…

That's not how federation works? You wouldn't log into Mozilla's matrix server with another Matrix server's login, you would just join the :mozilla.org rooms with your normal Matri…

Yeah I run my steps as one-shot commands to try to avoid that, but the timer/service split can be very annoying like that.

Should have been more clear: I use RandomizedOffsetSec= to add a random offset to a set start time (usually 4am), to prevent overloading the backup server, not truly random start t…

Timers can work with arbitrary units (not just a similarly-named service unit) so they can be surprisingly flexible. I have a timer on my servers that starts a backup.target that f…

My projects also require Assisted-by attribution as that's what the Fedora AI policy requires and that was the first major org with a coherent AI policy that I found when choosing …

It's a new batch each day, but it's not drank in the same day it's brewed I suspect. Probably a week or two later, going off some quick research into "running ales", a similar Engl…

I'm assuming you're at least overseeing the creation/updates of the Ansible playbooks and have some familiarity with what is being managed outside of that. While I personally would…

As far as I can tell and from some quick researching of the guys previous experience, that's all it is. I think the implication is that LLM's will be architecting and deploying the…

Glad you're taking it in-stride, I was worried I was a little too direct. Everyone and their mom is making a Discord competitor these days but being Not-Discord isn't enough to sta…

From a normie perspective: - No screenshots on front page, I have no idea what it looks like - no video chat, no screen sharing - No downloadable version isn't a feature. What's a …

Having the core of your app be written in languages you self-admittedly don't understand is a bold move. I've been a big fan of the ansible-matrix playbooks for a while now so I'm …

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the mindset differences come down to people used to using Docker Compose as a development environment being uncomfortable with managing th…
