Swimmers as they were.

This. I use pihole as just a DNS server with blocking off since it was too much to have to deal with the random broken pages.

The real pros don’t even link or connect them. You have to know the others exist.

There was something like

# sleep for about a second on modern processors
math.factorial(10000)

After it was found we left it in the code but commented out along with a sleep(1) for posterity.

At least at my Costco we never had sauerkraut. We had the onion dispenser thing before COVID. Now if you ask, they give you onions.

Sauerkraut is one of the reasons I enjoy Sam’s dogs more.

Yeah I hate when I read through a unit test and realize it doesn’t actually test anything other than itself.

I’ve thought about this wrt to AI and work. Every time I sit in a post mortem it’s about human errors and process fixes.

The day a post mortem ends with “well the AI did it so nothing we can do” is the day I look towards… with dread.

If you buy every single combination of numbers for the lotto, you can’t lose.

If you get annoyed at captchas, try this game: https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/

I’d venture some Linux folks refuse to upgrade because of fears of compatibility issues.

The nice thing is having the choice.

Special shout out to the person who committed a gigabyte memory dump a few years ago. Even with a shallow clone, it’s pretty darn slow now.

We can’t rewrite history to remove it since other things rely on the commit IDs not changing.

Oh well.

How do I insert myself in this triangle?

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

What if it’s a network mount inside the container? Doesn’t the mount not happen till the container starts?

I have a couple pis that run docker containers including pihole. The containers have their storage on a centralized share drive.

I had a power outage and realized they can’t start if they happen to come up before the share drive PC is back up.

How do people normally do their docker binds? Optimally I guess they would be local but sync/backup to the share drive regularly.

Sort of related question: in docker compose I have restart always and yet if a container exits successfully or seemingly early in it’s process (like pihole) it doesn’t restart. Is there an easy way to still have that restart?

In what way? Anything on the public internet is likely being used for AI training. I guess by using free GitHub you can’t object to training.

Then again anywhere you host you sort of run into the same problem. You can use robots.txt, but things don’t have to listen to it.

Something that may help:

Why doesn’t GitHub Pages fit your use case? It’s nice to get free static hosting from them.

There used to be a scary logo animation for National Amusements that used to scare me as a child. It gives me the creeps now still.

It was all neon and then there would be a creepy screen to show you where the exits were.

(Not directly related but this reminded me of it.)

For something end-user facing: I could understand this argument.

In this case they were more or less just calling a C function that had an unsigned long long as the parameter they were setting negative.

The whole ‘bug’ was that the other side of the function call was seeing a positive number no matter what.

The real situation was a bit more complicated, but that’s the gist.
