Update your git!

also, the desire I've had for some time to see a #rustlang impl of the parts of git in widespread use exist and get significant traction is only increasing. It would prevent classes of security vulnerabilities, and also likely make the Windows install & support situation significantly easier (maybe just expect people who need git hooks to also install msys2). https://github.blog/2023-01-17-git-security-vulnerabilities-announced-2/

I sometimes wish Microsoft would have invested in building Edge on Firefox instead of Chromium when they decided to stop making their own engine. Investment in upstream improvements would help FF, and having each major platform vendor backing a different engine would definitely help preserve diversity.

@emilymbender@mastodon.social @mikarv@someone.elses.computer I’m really not sold on the “no QT” thing. ISTM that the toxic dunking is through “here’s a thing!”, which links + embeds provide. I could be wrong, but it looks like Mastodon has the toxicity-enabling piece (with a bit of friction, to be fair), without any of the useful aspects of QTs.

rant: it's kinda annoying how products go from "simple tool that does the job pretty well" to "Could Thing that has a million features I don't need and may not keep supporting the ones I do".

Current status: looking for a replacement for minio. I don't need a kubernetes cluster or backend store, or to re-implement RAID in userspace. I have a folder. I want exposed via S3.

Glad to see miscarriage and the legal risks around pregnancy-related interests explicitly mentioned in the discussion of Topics. It’s a sensitive topic that system builders really need to attend to. HT @mikarv@someone.elses.computer. @tag@w3c.social

Scotty, do you know where Spock's brain went? Aye, captain. I think it jumped that shark over there.

Scotty's haircut changed from S2-S3. New 'do isn't doing him any favors.

apropos of absolutely nothing: someone should do an LP re-issue of Sheryl Crow's eponymous album. it's so flipping good but never (so far as I can tell) pressed into vinyl.

I’m really glad WBR put this together. I’d also really like to see something like this on the US market! Affordable, high-durability utility bicycles are needed. https://worldbicyclerelief.org/the-bike/

@noleli@mastodon.social the answer used to be ‘run minio’ 😭. I’ve now found an unmaintained Rust S3 server that doesn’t work, CloudServer that I also couldn’t get working, and a couple others whose getting started guides talk about clouds and distribution.

For now, going to just figure out how to migrate my data from my perfectly functional file system into Minio’s single-node store 🙃.

@noleli@mastodon.social it looks like that might be the opposite? exposing S3 as a local filesystem? Unless I'm missing something, I'm not seeing "expose an S3-compatible endpoint" support.

So we agree that the DS9 producers should have let Garak and Bashir be canonically gay.

But if Sisko is Space Dad, they really should have very specifically made Garak and Bashir the Gay Space Uncles that help the ppl get into, and out of, shit that Dad wouldn’t approve. As a team. Avery Brooks definitely had the eye roll and voice down for innumerable “what did those two put you up to this time?”

I remember using ReiserFS back in HS & college. I don't think I've lost more data to any other filesystem, and that includes FAT32. https://lwn.net/Articles/886708/
