Janeway to Tuvix.

Do you like... TV shows? Do you like...scary TV shows?

We're also using Forgejo for a small consulting team working on lots of different projects for a lot of different clients.

A couple of our team members who came from a more complex and scaled environment (particularly our DevOps / SRE guy who's worked at such places as LinkedIn and Snowflake) want to move us to Gitlab because it's "more powerful" but I like Forgejo because it's just super simple. Just does exactly what I need, doesn't give me to many more options.

We have

  • Projects segregated into teams, organized by client (so only those working on a specific client's projects have access to their repos).
  • Able to invite clients and put them into the team for their project (we've had a couple clients that want that).
  • Able to automate deployments with webhooks (this was pretty easy to get working).

One of our devs wanted to use Actions. It's hard to get that working and (at least a month ago) there were warnings that Actons aren't mature yet and are probably insecure (looks like that may have changed with the recent jump to Forgejo 8.0). I think it's now a non issue for us though because we were like "Dude, stop trying to role your own CI/CD, that's why we have two infrastructure people!"

*goes and peaks at r/conservative for the schadenfreude .

To add to what Flying Squid said, Andrew Robinson wrote a biography of Garak (and his up bringing in the shadow of Enabran Tain and his education by the Obsidian Order). In that book, Garak is VERY bi and there's strong hints that he could have been in a poly triad with a Cardassian boy and girl in Obsidian Order school... if only their loyalty and duty to the state hadn't complicated everything.

Too complex to explain to anyone who's not a politically / culturally curious intellectual (or who even just lacks a lot of the sci-fi / gaming and science nerd inspired philosophical context).

A lot of these breakdowns of the weird and out of touch thought coming out of upper class technocrats and their acolytes are missing this kind of bridge: a simple way to explain this to anyone who wouldn't read more than the first paragraph of this article. No one like that is going to try to parse an acronym like TESCREAL.

My main thought about this is that "Right" and "Left" aren't even the right terms and using them gives people the wrong impression of what's happening. It's better to say that techno-authoritarians with their heads in the sci-fi clouds are attracting followers from the intellectual and better educated side of the "disaffected young men" pool and are aligning themselves with more traditionally conservative authoritarians for the sake of political convenience. They don't want the government or left wing populism getting in the way of their profits and science experiments, so their support lines up with the party that wants to sabotage the government.

As a security professional, what finally got me to move from Apache to NGINX was OpenResty.

I sometimes still put Apache behind it, depending on my goals.

Socially acceptable in that culture.

Sequel to Cocaine Bear incoming.

Both actors are awesome. But however perfect Armin Shimerman is at being Quark, very few people can beat Sir Patrick at the art of passionate orration.

This exact thing happened to one of my clients. And it sucked because they didn't even register the domains with Ionos, they registered them with some other company that then got bought by Ionos. They were not technically savvy and didn't understand what was happening until it was way too late. They lost about 8 domains closely associated with their business and with their CEO's research.

An apt quote for the current political situation.

12 hours?

8 or 10. Put in my head phones, put on my audiobook, no one's bothering me.
