does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router?

yeah, ansible works very well with raspbian, and just debian in general. openwrt uses like overlayfs and is very limited compared to a normal linux system, so although you could probably get ansible to work (it just needs ssh and python on the target system), it sounds like it'd be painful.

and why did you choose a compute module?

chip shortage, that was the only model i could get at the time. also the ethernet hat was like purpose-made for what i wanted a pi for.

feels a lot worse than february 2020, to be honest. and i'm not even on your side of the pond.

my game theory is that this needs a croutoning

they might still be good

they should make a phone where everything is in reach of your thumb

i think you're wrong about this. anyway, time to read the news.

I dislike that it's tied to a Company

well the good news is that thanks to oci, it's tied to two companies, the other being red hat with podman

the bad news is both companies are in their enshittification stage, paywalling features and trying to sell you crappy ai shit

anyway, in theory i like podman more than docker. like the problem with docker is if you're root in a container, you're root in real life, and podman solves that with some file ownership abstraction thing or something. podman containers also run without a daemon, which is nice.

but when i've tried using podman for postmill development, it crashed, and for deploying services, i couldn't get ansible to work with it. which is weird, because ansible is also a red hat product.

so my take is that ansible will be nicer, when it's fixed.

anyone else reading this in 2025

i think it was a mistake to combine him

need an update on this

i opened this website without my glasses on and misread the title as It's-a Raining Men

he says it a lot in 1, idk if he says it in 2 as well

I had the losing teeth one a few years back, and a few days or weeks after, a thing happened where all the teeth in my mouth felt like they had rotted, and i was in incredible pain to the point i couldn't sleep. i attributed this to my being negligent and not having gone to the dentist's in like 10 years.

i got an emergency dentist's appointment, for which i took a whole day off work for, and they did the x-ray, and my teeth were just completely fine. they did a bunch of 'does this hurt?' tests, and none of them did. while this was going on, the pain subsided, and the dentist became frustrated as she couldn't locate the source of the problem. i was booked another appointment and told to cancel it if the problem didn't reappear before then. which it hasn't ever.

one of the strangest things to ever happen to me, and so fucking bizarre it would happen right after that awful nightmare. but at least i got to know the teeth in the left side of my mouth are ok.

showing this to my mum next time she complains about the 50kg crt i brought into her house that's too heavy to move

play the original sonic the hedgehog. if you enjoy that, i suggest also playing these other 2d sonics:

• sonic cd
  • introduces the spin dash.
  • play the japanese version. they absolutely butchered the american release. sega of america decided that slapping house music is too much for innocent, christian, american children to handle, so they replaced most of it with a bunch of other shit that's thematically unfitting, but left the 'past' versions of the tracks alone because they couldn't figure out how to replace the non-red book pcm audio.
  • this game is easy to beat, but hard to find all the secrets in.
• sonic 2
  • refines the spin dash
  • has tails
• sonic 3 and/or knuckles
  • yes there's actually three combinations. they split the game in half so they could rush it out as 'sonic the hedgehog 3'. then they released the other half of the game as 'sonic & knuckles'. if you stuck sonic 3 onto sonic & knuckles, you'd get to play the whole game as one, so basically it was dlc for the prehistoric era of gaming.
  • very long, stages are quite complex
• sonic mania
  • 2017 game, homage to the old sonics
  • mixes old and new stages

don't play knuckles & chaotix, it sucks. also don't play sonic 4, it's a shitty cash grab.

i also recall sonic advanced being not terrible, which is high praise for a sonic game, really.

i have not. all my raspberry pi projects start with 'i'll definitely finish the project i've set out to do this time', and end with 'ah, oh well'.

happy for you

i used to sit at my computer all day before i became skinny. no problem, even while using a wooden dining chair. now i can't even spend two hours straight sitting in a herman miller.

can't have a fair comparison here until you've touched on the "piss bottle situation"

i really hope he delegates the responsibility and keeps his hands off, but knowing him, he'll probably want to be directly involved in development. we've had disagreements before about technological direction, and now he's in a position to just overrule my judgement.

i am going to cook instant "bali noodle soup" on my terrible induction stove, and try not to spend all evening thinking about it

i hope you found it
