discovered a cool trick for writing a script that runs some commands in parallel and waits for all to complete while also logging and propagating errors properly

@ErinRose oh my god, i love the little jigs in this

it's time to admit A-tier is mid

been working on a nice new feature for tangara: indexing tracks by filepath. it works basically the same as the rest of the indexing, so playing/enqueing all tracks in a directory (including tracks in nested directories) just works, and it allows for sorted browsing of tracks by directory/filename

@ErinRose *what*

If you're an EGA/VGA sicko like me, you really need to be following @gloriouscow for the epic threads like this: https://oldbytes.space/@gloriouscow/115964676317849290

increasingly convinced the point of AI is to ruin the public sphere with endless spam

@ailurux L + mercutio + you kiss by the book

@hailey wait, no ‘cap production deploy’? we have fallen so far

@miakizz @emily something I played in late primary school, and jeered at because it didn’t have true 3D like quake 1 did

@emily oh hey, that’s the mysterious number on the bathroom wall in duke nukem 3d isn’t it

If you want to know more, here's some good places to start in the systemd docs:

General hardening: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.exec.html#Sandboxing

Network filtering: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.resource-control.html#Network%20Accounting%20and%20Control

+ honourable mention for SHH, a tool I haven't used but looks interesting, which can automatically generate hardening settings for you by observing what your service actually does at runtime: https://github.com/desbma/shh

@rubenerd hi! no idea! all good!

@hailey @whitequark Also yes. It just feels like a bunch of people have never actually experienced a build run that ran quickly, and do not miss it as much as some of us do.

@hailey @whitequark remembering a company rails app that, after a herculean optimisation + parallelisation project, got the build down to 20 minutes. (it went back up to ~40 minutes shortly after.)

remember T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM?

@aeva @gsuberland (I’m going to start with a cheapie panini/sandwich press off fb marketplace first, maybe try to get it to hit a temperature curve like those bodged/converted mini reflow ovens.)

@aeva @gsuberland same.

(and also look over at the GF/CF-enthusiast crowd and look kind of pained)

@aeva @gsuberland In all seriousness, one of my medium-term plans is having a go at heat-pressing the waste (PLA and PETG) and using the resulting flat sheets for model-making and such, a la TeachingTech and others’ experiments.

@emily that is a fucking mood
