FWIW it looks like this addresses the pipe error behavior: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/16449

I can answer for me coming from the same boat... exactly zero risk to try, given how easy it would be to rebase back onto silverblue. I didn't have to worry about the codecs Fedora couldn't legally ship so I could remove an overlay, plus I figured bootc was the future and I wanted to see it working.

I'm a little surprised that an LTS product is based on CentOS 10 stream. Doesn't that have the shortest support?

I used Obsidian for a while, but for some reason https://silverbullet.md ended up resonating more with me.

I've used https://github.com/vi/websocat in the past and had very good luck with it.

It sounds like you and I are thinking along the same line: https://github.com/joemccall86/cap5600-project2.

I am also taking AI this semester and was considering expanding upon something like this for my masters' capstone project. The application of machine learning to this type of situation is going to be very interesting to say the least.

Just wanted to say good luck!

joemccall86 — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 14:18:40 +0000

This will probably get buried, but this story had me shudder at the possibility of being locked out of my 1password vault in a similar scenario. In case anyone is in the same boat:

* My airplane-mode test passed both on my mobile device and browser (1password X).

* The team is aware of the situation with LP and wrote a very thoughtful response: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/544136/...

* From the response above, 1password is SOC2 certified, so availability is taken very seriously.

Works with my media keys too. Nice work!

If you are on a unix system with vim installed, fire up "vimtutor" and learn basic vim usage. At worst you become at least more productive on the de-facto editor installed on most unix systems. Personally I find myself incredibly more productive using vim over most other text editors.

joemccall86 — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 09:42:04 +0000

One thing I'm keeping my eye on is the fargate virtual kubelet [1]. It seems to offer a way to use the familiar kubernetes tooling with a managed "clusterless" offering like fargate.

Looks like a neat concept. Would anyone here with experience managing this in production care to comment? Seems like it could be interesting if you need to reproduce the exact same software/OS on several machines as deliverables.

Interestingly, the logo is a direct copy of UCF's academic logo: https://www.ucf.edu/brand/brand-assets/logo-identity-system/. I wonder if there is a connection.

Absolutely! There's a big 4.0 release happening soon as well that includes micronaut integration. Furthermore, there are profiles you can start with today that let you create a react, angular, or vue SPA app powered by the grails back-end. Add the fact that it's a spring boot app as well and you get an incredible library of resources available to you. We've been running our app in production with relatively few developers.

This would be immensely beneficial, and long overdue in my opinion.

Is the conventional wisdom to still avoid self-hosting? I'd like to adopt k8s but managed hosting isn't feasible in our aws region or on-premise.

I'm curious if Crystal was considered given its speed and similarity to Ruby.
