It's not the world's most elegant code (I taught myself TS this winter to do it), but as a general reminder: I have open sourced the code that we use for Skywatch automation, for anyone interested in monitoring the firehose and labeling based on rulesets.

GitHub - skywatch-bsky/skywatch-automod: This is the public release of some of our internal tooling.

I understand the optics here but this is also literally why Charles met his end in Whitehall, either Article I means what it says or it doesn't and the Constitution is dissolved

So the Dems need to be clear again that any FMer carrying out direction to implement mil paychecks in the absence of appropriations will be subject to anti-deficiency act criminal penalties, because to be clear even with the reconciliation slush fund BS there is no way to legally so this, period

I've been meaning to talk about this setup for a bit but yeah, this kinda rips!

Ed @ed3d.net · 4h

I installed Ubuntu on a mini-PC, threw k3s on it so it had its own native way to do Helm stuff, jailed it to use ~16GB of 32GB of RAM, installed Claude, and hand it skip-permissions as a matter of course. I rarely if ever run Claude on my laptop anymore and if I do it's to mess with something local.

(yes, yes, not Regency period, but close enough)

Yeah. The mobo is getting long in the tooth but I definitely wasn't planning on rebuilding this machine anytime soon.

Scoiattolo @offline.mountainherder.xyz · 5h

ty!

Scoiattolo @offline.mountainherder.xyz · 5h

Yup. even jiggled the cord a bit, no luck

Scoiattolo @offline.mountainherder.xyz · 5h

For this machine mostly stability and good driver support.

Okay fuck this what Linux distro should I install. I plan to use the Nix Package manager.

At the very least I'll boot from the linux usb boot drive and check the hardware.

The "I don't want my tax money murdering children and families in Palestine" folks.

Well, your tax money is being used to bomb fishing vessels under the false narrative of them being drug traffickers.

Those are fathers, brothers, sons, and uncles.

You mad about that too? Or nah?

Oh interesting, I wasn't aware of this! Ty!

Scoiattolo @offline.mountainherder.xyz · 6h

Definitely already done that, except for the extra internal SSDs/HDs. That comes next but it's annoying bc I need crack the case and the way it's situated on my desk makes that a PITA

Guess we're doing a system reset and I'll have to reinstall a lot of stuff.

I'm this close to installing Linux and calling it a day. Windows 11 updates keep nerfing this machine.

I think I may go this route. Windows is currently reinstalling, but once it's done I might just make sure my personal files are all off the boot drive (most of them are) and start that process. I can use my mac laptop for photo editing and for what gaming I do, apparently linux works pretty well now

Did not plan to spend my morning figuring out why my desktop machine won't boot.

No luck so far.

i think the @react.dev Compiler team could include more of this type of messaging. i'm being a bit inflammatory here (and Haskell may not the best analogy), but the principle of "pure things are safe to move around" is fundamentally simple and has been known for decades. teach it to new generation!

You may not like it, but React is basically Haskell.

The React Compiler works for the same exact reason that compilers for pure programming languages are able to make non-trivial optimizations.

If your code is composed of pure functions, it is safe to re-order their computation, or save the result for some inputs and reuse it for later for same inputs. This is not some kind of a “workaround” or a hack — it’s one of the most exciting consequences of the functional programming paradigm which has been known and used for decades.

Purity and idempotency make it safe to move stuff around without changing the final outcome. Following the "rules of React" is just ensuring your code is safe to move around like this.

One user on Facebook asked Alexandra how she liked an Italian restaurant across the street from where she lives in New York City, a sign that someone had tracked down her address and possibly other personal information.

She posted about Charlie Kirk's death. Within eight hours, she was fired

Alexandra is one of many people who lost their jobs for posting about the conservative influencer's death. She described the online mob that got her fired as "state-sponsored censorship."
