When things look gnarly they pull out root.

And careful with those unix systems. Every time someone compiles Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum shaves a raccoon’s ass.

Pretty well. I did have to create an “old-nixpkgs” variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case…

How’d your 25.11 channel migration go, fellow Nix-enjoyer?

Gary Bernhardt’s old talks are a classic. Wish there were more people still doing humorous introspection in the programming landscape like this.

“I read your book!” “I didn’t watch your videos.” Brutal.

Are you looking to just replace GH Pages or Github altogether? netlify is a nice step up from GitHub Pages. Once integrated with github or gitlab it will autodeploy changes from whatever branch you tell it. As a bonus, you get preview links on every pull request before merging and rolling out to your live site.

I prefer the term slot machine coding because you keep thinking you almost have a jackpot but there’s one lemon in there so you get that rush to keep pulling the lever and expecting different results.

Nah, this guy is clearly riled up about lifetimes.

For brotli compression, first check if nginx/angie has the correct modules (brotli and brotli_static) (nginx -V). If not, you can install it like so: https://www.getpagespeed.com/server-setup/nginx/brotli-static

Then create your brotli bomb by modifying the original author’s fish command: fish zip_bomb.fish | brotli --best > bomb.html.br

UB must be Undefined Behavior.

These microservices are fun to look at, but the legacy side actually gets the job done.

On the tower defense, upgrading the Laser Tower (to Beam Emitter) breaks the game.

Took me a minute. And for good measure… ;
