According to election theory, a dictatorship is the only perfectly fair voting system: the only voter wins the vote, every time.

As long as it isn’t github.

Publish that puppy. It can’t hurt.

Don’t do it in github, though. Sourcehut is better; or if you crave that cluttered, JS-heavy feel, Gitlab.

Maybe! How is it better than keeping a README?

If it’s just a command, I put it in a readme. If it’s a series of commands, I put it in a shell script. What would your tool bring to the party, and if I’m going to turn to a third party solution, why shouldn’t I use Salt or Puppet instead?

Alligator. Venison. Duck. Butterfish. Trout. Mussels.

Offers the police a refreshing drink when they arrive.

And I believed them. I was responding to the comment about not understanding the hate for AI generated images.

Harder to encrypt though, so I question “more secure.”

Become homeless, I suppose.

Can’t get into my bank? Work won’t let me in because they don’t recognize me? Nobody’s going to hire me without ID or a background check. So I guess I’m a bum now.

Folks here hoping to reclaim their identity: how, exactly? No birth certificate, no drivers license, no passport… how, exactly, are you going to prove you’re you?

We started with plain text. Then everything got more complicated, and everything came with its own incrutable DB. Now we’ve come full circle: todo.txt, calendar.txt, plain text markup documents^[1].

Some things don’t need to be more complex than they are.

There are communities for AI generated images. The presumption for photography communities is that submissions are taken pictures.

I had a roommate who had a python of some sort. It was 6’ long-ish.

I wouldn’t say it was affectionate, but it was fine with being handled. It’d just get comfortable, hang out, and watch whatever was going on. Sometimes it might slither around, but it always seemed to me it was just finding a place to get comfortable. It seemed to spend most of its time sleeping. It didn’t seem to care who it was hanging out with; I never saw it demonstrate a preference between people, even its owner.

It was a really easy pet to keep, all things considered. The worst thing about it was feeding it. It refused to eat dead things, so my friend had to go get live mice from the pet store, put the snake and the mouse in the bath tub, and then leave them alone for an hour or so. It was such a fussy eater - sometimes, it just wouldn’t, so we’d sometimes also have a pet mouse for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t interested in watching it kill the mouse, but my friend said it just wouldn’t eat if anyone was in the room watching it. Thankfully, it only needed to eat once every few weeks.

Honestly, I never saw the attraction. It didn’t do much, you couldn’t do much with it, it didn’t seem to seek out contact with people, didn’t seem to care one way or the other about being pet. I think it mostly liked being held because it like the warmth - but it’d be just as happy on its rock under the heat lamp.

Oh, shedding was cool. Once. After the first time you watch it, it’s kind of like watching paint dry.

But, some people really like snakes, and that’s cool.

If you do, use the -k option - it locks access to the rook service to only the user session. Rook works without it, but is more secure with it.

Have you ever used OwnCloud, before the fork?

I hated administrating OwnCloud, and that’s kept me away from NextCloud. OwnCloud was a big, resource hogging, hot mess; did NextCloud do a huge refactor and clean it up?

I think the situation is that people who have hypolycemic attacks can go into a fugue where they don’t know what they’re doing.

I once had heat stroke (after PT in Panama). The guys said I just walked out of formation, ran into the Sargent, and then fell flat on my face. All I remember was standing in formation after a run, getting tunnel vision, and then waking up in the clinic.

The bubbles around her head as she’s walking indicate something’s going on. Although mine wasn’t blood sugar, I feel this comic.

You misspelled “sketchy.”

MacDonald’s cheap fried food was a large contributor to America’s obesity epidemic.

Shamelessly shilling my OSS project, rook. It provides a secret-server-ish headless tool backed by a KeePass DB.

• Headless server
• Optional and convenient integration with the kernel keyring (on Linux), for locking the server to only provide secrets to the user’s session
• Provides a range of search, list, and get commands
• Minimal dependencies and small code base make rook reasonably auditable

You might be interested in rook if you’re a KeePassXC user. Why might you want this instead of:

• Gnome secret-server, KDEs wallet, or pass? rook uses your (a) KeePass DB, while most other projects store secrets in their own DBs and require (usually manual) sync’ing when passwords change.
• One of the browser secret storage? Those also keep a bespoke DB which needs to be synced, and they’re limited to browser use. Rook supports using secrets in cron jobs or on the command line (e.g. mbsync, vdirsyncer, msmtp, etc, etc).
• KeePassXC? KeePassXC does provide a secret service that mocks Gnome secret-service, but you have to keep KeePassXC (a GUI app) running even if you only rarely use the UI. Rook can also be used on a headless machine.
• The KeePassXC command line tool? That requires entering the password for every request, making it tedious to use and impractical for automated, periodic jobs.

Rook is read-only, and intended to be complementary to KeePassXC. The KeePassXC command line tools are just fine for editing, where providing a password for every action is acceptable, and of course the GUI is quite nice for CRUD.

It bothers me that that’s almost certainly Bing Crosby, but he’s being called Frank. Sinatra was roughly contemporary with Crosby; maybe if he was being called Geoff or something the cognitive dissonance wouldn’t be as bad.
