To me, what's different is that the modern republican party seems to think that I'm an enemy of the people. Bush was awful but I never felt like he personally wanted to harm me just for existing. I knew Bush would send emergency aid to a democratic Voting area, no question. The "enemy" was abroad. Now it's within.

I've been here for 14 years and own a stroller. Someone will always help, even in less dense areas. It's common courtesy. I'd guess more people would actually induce a bystander effect. Same thing with asking for directions.

Start local. Where I live we have ranked choice voting for mayor.

I can't speak for Terry Szuplat, but I would think the same rules apply.

How exactly would calling an anti-abortion extremist a subhuman nazi terrorist help anything at all? It might make them feel more strongly in their beliefs. It might make you look bad, and get more votes for anti-abortion extremist positions. It might normalize the language of dehumanization, furthering aims of authoritarians. MAGA lives on victimhood, making it stronger hardly helps. Listening and being reasonable may be hard, but is more likely to be heard.

Regarding tolerance of the intolerant - I see no incompatibility. Vote to ensure their views don't win. Outlaw violence. There's times where civil disobedience is called for. Terry isn't suggesting just give up and let others run things out of fear of offending someone.

If I may offend you now by including Star Wars as a Disney movie, Luke doesn't win by killing his father and becoming emperor. That was Vader's thing. Vader is evil. So is Trump. But I wouldn't go airing commercials talking about how evil Trump and his vermin followers are unless I was aiming to get Trump elected.

The economy works better now and they just released smaller assets for schools, firehouses, more parks, etc. Still no bikes. Performance is better and barely playable on my amd 8700g apu.

Hello, I'm the lead dev of GlitchTip. Fun to see it mentioned here. Source maps are supported. I wish I had time to make the feature easier to use and write better docs. Contributions are welcome. It's very much a hobby project for the little time I have after work and family. Right now all of my attention is on an event ingest rewrite to work with fewer resources.

 

Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn't match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?

To clarify, it can work. But it's a harsh experience compared to say Android. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and PopOS. I've tried a few different headphones, using Galaxy Buds 2 current. Pulseaudio tends to "do as it's told" but doesn't automatically switch to the right (confusingly named) profile. With Ubuntu 23.10, using pipewire, it does automatic switch profiles. Sometimes this works great. But very often, it gets stuck on on a profile or just stops working. I have to reconnect bluetooth to fix it.

Is there some magic combination of things that works or is this just how it is for everyone?

Interesting. The attack involves physical access cold boot attacks and messing with the ram. At that point threatening me with a $5 wrench may be more effective. But I get the idea and a very select few folks probably care a lot about this. Shame we can't just enable S3 in the BIOS.

You're going to hate that laptops like the Dell xps 13 specifically stopped supporting the better, older s3 sleep. Though in some cases linux may work well with "modern standby". It still isn't as good as s3.

You can make a city without private vehicles. There's pedestrian roads and public transit. Early on it looks silly seeing huge parking lots on low density commercial connected to a pedestrian street.

 

I'm curious to know how folks use async Djagno in production. Have you switched a project over? Fully or critical code only? What was your experience like? Was it worth it?

I made an example app to demonstrate superiority in a confined test. I've found it quite awkward converting existing sync views to async. Fetching a limited queryset for json serialization is awkward [x async for x in values]. Some ORM functions, like get_or_create, appear to be just wrappers that call sync_to_async. Django Rest Framework doesn't support async and adrf doesn't support everything.

I'm glad it's helpful to you. I was toying with the idea of converting the backend to Rust. It's easier to write async Rust than Python. I believe that would allow me to distribute a small all-in-one binary - except for Redis and PostgreSQL. I have entertained the idea of making Redis optional. In trivial cases, it's possible to abstract a database ORM and use something like sqlite. But I don't think this would happen for GlitchTip. I'm currently using PostgreSQL specific features like jsonb. Of course contributions are welcome and with enough effort anything is possible.

 

I'm the lead developer of GlitchTip, an open source error and uptime monitoring platform. This release includes port monitoring for internal assets like PostgreSQL. GlitchTip aims to be easy to self-host. We're compatible with Sentry SDKs. If you've found Sentry's backend too complex to run or prefer 100% open source code, give GlitchTip a try. We're always looking for Python, Rust, and TypeScript contributors. I'm happy to answer any questions.
