Honest question - is GitLab really that different of a vendor lock-in over GitHub?

“ok, now add a metric shit ton of swearing and further belittle parsers who can’t deal with tabs.”

It doesn’t kinda feel that way, doesn’t it?

I found exercise that I actually wanted to do. For me, this started out as cycling. I enjoyed being able to go places and see things. I used to just cycle casually with my family but when the COVID lock downs happened, I would go on 30+ mile bike rides. It was nice to get out, see things and the roads were pretty empty around me so I could go just about anywhere.

The biggest problem with that around here is that it gets really cold during the winter so I started doing a combination of cardio, hand weights and basic exercises like pushups, etc to just get my heart rate going and sweat a bit. I do have an indoor bike trainer but I don’t enjoy that quite as much because it’s just sort of boring compared to being out and seeing scenery.

I was sort of stuck at this weight of around 190, which by the BMI charts is a few pounds overweight for my height. This last fall, I was challenged by my sister in law, along with her other siblings, to run a half marathon. I used to play soccer and I used to run for a good while in my 30s - it’s how I stayed in shape back then and was able to lose a good bit of weight. So I started running and I found it to be really easy, probably because I didn’t have to fight through the getting winded - it was mostly my leg muscles getting used to running. Now I run around 30 miles a week, even in the cold. The only thing I struggle with now is taking care of my knees and leg muscles as that’s the biggest issue I run into that could prevent me from keeping it up. I’ve been running since November and am down to 180 and I feel great.

Now food wise, I mostly just try to be generally aware of going in excess for anything that is just sugar or a food that calorie dense but not providing nutrients. I try to keep fruit around the house. if I think I am hungry, I ask if I am hungry enough to eat and apple or a plum - something like that and will do so if I am. I still snack on stuff like pretzels, crackers, etc. I eat things that aren’t healthy for me but I try hard to not go overboard on anything.

Funny that predictive text seems to be more advanced in this instance but I suppose this is one of those scenarios that you want to make sure you get right.

I haven’t kept up with anything reddit wise but I thought those tools utilized the now inaccessible APIs unless they’ve figured out how to do it without them.

When you came to space dock here, did you notice a sign out in front of my station that said “Dead Romulan Storage”?

I use Gitea myself and when the big dust up about the backing company came up, I didn’t feel like there was a big enough reason to migrate away from Gitea. Just because they could do something wasn’t enough of a reason for me. Sure it’s great that they are running a fork that I could switch to but I currently don’t see a reason to switch as of today.

How does Okta not have systems like support systems like what was breached with the credentials behind a VPN as well? A system like that really ought to be on a secured network. We have so many systems at work that are VPN required and it’s mostly those where sensitive data lives.

I would start by checking for any sort of errors in your system logs, such as /var/log/syslog or using dmesg -w. In my experience, Linux is almost universally faster than Windows.

Yeah, I can easily remember the commands to tail the logs because it’s journalctl -fu and I always think “fuck you” as I’m typing that.

I guess I will continue to use the expanded hard drive space I just moved to for my zfs pool. Yo ho, yo ho… 🏴‍☠️

Maybe I don’t understand the problem but the only time that pinentry pops up for me is when I am signing something. What sort of situations does it just randomly pop up or what sort of specific apps/configuration would that happen at random?

The fields where you can’t paste a password or any other types of data like credit card info absolutely kill me. It’s doing the exact opposite of adding any level of security and it’s just infuriating.

My favorite recently is my company has TOTP 2FA but you can’t paste the 6 digits. You have to type in one digit at a time, each being its own box. Paste fails in every browser I’ve tried. It’s just a shitty user interface.

If a service you use does not offer TOTP but implements their own 2FA through another method, you have no choice to use it though.

I also used to run into this when flying for work I would have paid for wifi on a plane flight but my mobile device isn’t able to get their text or push notification because I only paid for my laptop to have wifi. Used to drive me crazy and then I just stopped working while on flights because of dumb policies.

I use apt cacher ng. Most of my use case though is for caching of packages related to Docker image builds as I build up to 200+ images daily. In reality, I have aggressive image caching so I don’t actually build anywhere close to that many each day but the stats are impressive. 8.1 GB of data fetched from the internet but 108 GB served from the acng instance as it shows in the stats page of recent history.

This site is full of bs spammy ads.

Battery life tends to be the one things I really look forward to with a new phone these days. Instead of paying to replace my battery, I just sell my phone and get a new one.
