I self-host https://woodpecker-ci.org/ and I love it. It was easy to set up, and I never have to worry about CI/CD minutes.

It’s been continued in another repo https://github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox

Homebox is great, I bought a usb label maker specifically for it

There are always more cool tricks and great plugins out there, have fun!

Also I’d recommend Neovim, it’s exactly like vim except it supports Lua scripting, so there are lots of powerful plugins that aren’t available on vanilla vim.

Do It Yourself is comfy as hell

For project-specific secrets, I’ve been using https://mise.jdx.dev/, with a local mise.local.toml which is gitignored. I’m also looking into using https://fnox.jdx.dev/ for encrypting secrets. I’m open to giving yadm another try, since I like the “alternate files” feature and some of my dot files are a mess of conditional statements.

I’m not familiar with btrbk specifically, but my backups all send a ping to https://healthchecks.io/ when they start and when they finish. healthchecks.io works by getting a simple curl request, similar to ntfy, but if that request doesn’t happen after a certain amount of time (or if you do a start request and a succeed/fail request and the job is taking too long) then it will notify you. It can use ntfy for notifications, but it can also send emails or use any of a number other services.

I’ve tried chezmoi and yadm before, but currently I’m using stow and I think stow is my favorite. I don’t need git integration when the regular git CLI works just fine, and I’ve never ended up using any of the other tools’ advanced features like bootstrapping scripts. Stow just makes symlinks and that’s good enough for me.

Assassin’s Creed 2:

“It’s-a me, Mario!”

This release introduces a variable called MIX_OS_DEPS_COMPILE_PARTITION_COUNT, which instructs mix deps.compile to compile dependencies in parallel.

That’s a real gem on big projects.

I like to think that, at the very least, open-source projects are less likely to contain malware. Only a single person needs to find something alarming and raise it to the community, and it can be immediately verified by others. To me, then, open-source software is more trustworthy than closed-source. Being able to look at the code myself is nice, but I rarely do. I assume that someone trustworthy is looking at the code, but “anyone who understands the code” of an open-source project is a lot bigger group of potentially-trustworthy people than “just the developers” of a closed-source project.

As for the quality of open-source code, it’s nice that open-source projects are generally hosted on platforms where you can submit bug reports. Whether or not someone has the time to devote to fixing it is another issue, given how underfunded many important open-source projects are, but it’s a category above closed-source projects where you’re lucky if you get an email address to send complaints to.

Hell yeah same

Not to be a Linux shill or anything but Wilds has been running flawlessly on my Linux machine since launch

It absolutely isn’t but that doesn’t stop certain idiots from pretending like it is. Same with cis people who don’t like being called “cis” because they want to believe they’re the default and any language that identifies them as otherwise is offensive to them.

This whole channel is gold

It’s less stable than the LTS at least, and right now 25.10 is still in beta. It’s scheduled to release on October 9th.

This is the point of a .10 release, to discover these bugs and get them fixed before the LTS release.

Ha ha this is so me…. ladies

I’ve used it for at least a year, it’s great.

They kinda have to replace some coreutils like find from scratch to be compatible with their philosophy of piping data tables instead of text. It’s super cool and ends up being really powerful but yeah it’s a whole new ecosystem which makes it pretty much impossible to be a drop-in shell replacement.
