Looks cool but it's another one of those exclusive invite-only communities.

Interesting project! I notice the second step under the "First Run" header is "Launch the guided VM creation wizard". Can vm-curator be used to manage an existing QEMU/KVM setup?

His 2008 talk at the LongNow was even more timely: https://longnow.org/talks/02008-suarez/. He wasn't worried so much about a strong-AI singularity but about weak AI that is used by the rich and powerful to take away human agency.

I've heard Postgres described as a "database framework".

New comment by jefurii in "Git Rebase for the Terrified"

jefurii — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:09:44 +0000

I use `git rebase` all the time, along with `git add -p`, `git diff` and other tools. It helps me to maintain logical commit history.

- Reshuffle commits into a more logical order. - Edit commit subjects if I notice a mistake. - Squash (merge) commits. Often, for whatever reason pieces of a fix end up in separate commits and it's useful to collect and merge them.

I'd like to make every commit perfect the first time but I haven't managed to do that yet. git-rebase really helps me clean things up before pushing or merging a branch.

Well yeah, he fired the head of the agency that produces the stats when he didn't like the numbers.

My old Sony Ericsson T616 was inferior to my smartphone in so many ways, but I could tap out SMS messages on that keypad without having to look at it. It was handy to be able to take notes on long drives.

You can use ZFS to replicate your VMs. IIRC each VM has its own ZFS dataset. There's probably a config file somewhere that you also need to replicate.

It's pretty easy to enable things like pip-cache (for pypi) so your machines don't have to hit the package servers for each and every install. We should all be doing this. Maybe the tools could be modified to have caching on by defailt?

Brevity is for the weak. It is pronounced "command line".
