Will talk about Linux, plants, space, retro games, and anything else I find interesting.
Also mesa@piefed.social over on Piefed.

Most tape drives can do that but they are slow.
Someone can correct me but if I recall there’s many types. So it’s a complicated answer.
Tape drives are pretty good too. I worked at a few places where they still used them in case of disaster.
You are correct.
I’m just wondering as everyone likes to think of what they would do in a post-collapse society…when in reality these tiny drives will probably be much less useful than the knowledge on how to create electricity. Solar or otherwise. I like them though, and the article does an awesome job at stating what their purpose is. That’s great.
Solar has the issue that it’s hard to create the panels themselves, but there’s a plethora of ways to create and maintain electrical systems. A small wind generator could probably be easy to rig up as well.
Back when my state had power outages every other day for long periods of time, we found out what worked and what didn’t real quick.
Wrap em in foil. Boom protected. But kinda moot if there’s no power.
Interesting, I used to help on the bionic side a long time ago.
I thought it was quite heavy on resources? What are they doing on the docker side to help out? Limiting the CPU?
Looks neat. Cant find any good repos though but ill take a closer look this week.
I may have found where all the repos are here: https://app.radicle.at/
Or at least one seed.
Oh this is neat: https://www.radworks.garden/ a UI that runs natively on the system.
Im still not sure where to actually go to get the links to the different repos…but I got the original source code going!
It looks like it works VERY similar to magnet links. You get a link, you have a node that exists on the network that acts like P2P. Some interesting stuff on it.
For those using Ubuntu/PopOS or any linux/mac distro:
sh
and check out the script yourself, it looked ok to me).source ~/.bashrc
rad --version
I was able to get this working after some new updates to the documentation made it much easier.
You can use rad auth
to make an identity. Afterwards you can see the details with rad self
You can run a node here: rade node start
. You may have to open up a port in order to get it working. I had to.
Anyways it looks interesting. Im still trying to figure out where to get a list of repos/projects.
I was able to pull down:
rad clone rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5
Has anyone used it before? Any specific repos that look interesting to you? This is my first time being actually successful bringing being successful to getting a repo.
Imagine it gets into an accident lol.
Who gets charged?
If you thought insurance was expensive before…
yep.
The MITRE Corporation came within a hair’s breadth of running out of its contract to maintain the CVE database
That would have been very bad.
The US traditionally has funded quite a few “for the good of the world” programs and aid. At least until recently. Thats a good graph.
Yep take a look, theres quite a few examples, but they use Github Actions, CircleCI, Gitlab etc… etc…
Most CI/CD that use the above-ish model will use the same kinda scripts (bash or otherwise). Basically if you can do it on your desptop, you can automate it on a server. Make it work first, then try to make it better.
Most of the time, ill throw my Docker/Docker Compose (and/or terraform if need be) on the root of the repo and do the same steps I do on the development side for building/testing on the CI side. Then switch over to CD with either a new machine (docker build/ compose) or throw it all on a new server. At that point, if you script it out correctly, it doesnt really matter what kind of server you use for CI/CD, since they are all linux boxes at the end of the day.
You can also mix it up by using bare metal, docker alternatives, different password managers, QA tools, linters, etc…etc…
But virtualization will get you quite far. In my opinion start with just trying to get the project to build on another server via a script from scratch, then transfer it over to the CI. Then go with testing/deployment.
GL!
Yep we do that at work-ish. Ci/CD is really good.
All it took for me is discord going down for a couple hours a couple of weeks ago. Now about half my friends went to it. All it will take is a small push or down time and they will need their fix somehow lol.
So how would this work with the fediverse? Like we federate all content…its going to be VERY difficult to do anything if political content creators keep being told to take it down.
