This breaks things like Whoogle that used the JavaScript-less api to pull search results.

I do not know who I am. I do not know why I am here. All I know is that I must kill.

Mostly infrastructure as code with folks installing software natively on their windows host (terraform, ansible, powershell modules, but we also do some NPM stuff too). I’m trying to get people used to running a container instead of installing things on their host so I don’t have to chase people down when they run commands using the wrong version or something.

I’ve been really trying to push for more usage of dev containers at my org. I deal with so much hassle helping people install dependencies and deal with bizarre environment issues. And then doing it all over again every time there is turnover or someone gets a new laptop. We’re an Ops team though so it’s a real struggle to add the additional complexity of running and troubleshooting containers on top of mostly new dev concepts anyway.

To deploy a docker container to a Windows host you first need to install a Linux virtual machine (via WSL which is using Hyper-V under the hood).

It’s basically the same process for FreeBSD (minus the optimizations), right?

Containers still need to match the host OS/architecture they are just sandboxed and layer in their own dependencies separate from the host.

But yeah you can’t run them directly. Same for Windows except I guess there are actual windows docker containers that don’t require WSL but if people actually use those it’d be news to me.

I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

I upgraded to a new GPU a few weeks ago but all I’ve been doing is playing Factorio which would run just fine on 15 year old hardware.

Are there people actually defending Windows for development? In my experience it’s usually like this:

Developer on a Mac: Macs are the best.

Developer on Linux: Linux is the best.

Developer on Windows: My employer bought this computer for me and it sucks but they pay me $150k a year to put up with it so I do.

Okay.

Same.

I’d been starting to get into it when the Android release dropped and then I was cooked. Now between Steam/Android I’ve always got a run going somewhere.

But expanding executive power helps break legislative gridlock! It’s not like Americans will ever elect an unhinged criminal lunatic to the Presidency.

No shade to my Ace friends intended. Totally possible to be horny for art or rock collecting or whatever. Doesn’t have to be a sexy thing. I’m horny for none of the above is totally valid.

The default should be “I’m horny” but unless I specify you have to guess who I’m horny for.

I did computer work in an old hospital and there was a secret bathroom in the basement near the server room but it was terrifying because it was used to store CPR dummies so if you wanted to poop in there you’d have a dozen open mouthed elderly torsos staring at you.

Debian + Containers is definitely the way. Literally so stable it’s boring.

Perfect beautiful lies folks. Everyone knows it.

The more I learn about Valve culture the more I realize they definitely have teams just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I bet there are some really wild prototypes that we never get to see.

Running games at 800p targeting 40fps is a lot more viable than I would have expected just looking at the numbers. It looks great for a display that size and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

I get why people using it as their primary gaming device would want more power but as a secondary device for me it’s stellar.

Bazzite works so well out of the box that I don’t even have to think about drivers.

Same here. I love DuckDNS but after the third DNS outage taking down all my services I migrated to Cloudflare and haven’t had a single problem since.
