  • Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.

    The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.

    For example:

    MintPress News said it was a for-profit “regular news organization,” with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress’s anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were “retired businesspeople”, but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was “unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site’s ‘About Us’ page is similarly skinny.”[12]

    The irony of your insinuating I don’t check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn’t we all exercise this caution?

    This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted “ceasefire” in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.

    And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.

    I hope you have a better day.




  • Obviously you should relearn everything. Heck, pick up the Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout while you’re at it!

    That toshy thing looks like the right way to go. Wild that this is such a complex issue.

    I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple) for a bit and ended up remapping the caps lock key to command so I could approximate “normal” reflexive (pinky-based) shortcuts. It did sort of simplify copy-pasting in terminals.




  • Been experiencing random rendering glitches in Firefox since upgrading to 570.

    Before that it was random video memory allocation faults after playing a game for some time.

    And then there was the whole year where Wayland stopped working entirely after finally getting support.

    But I guess you’re right, it’s definitely miles better than when I got the cursed thing 5 years ago.




  • Scrubbing a little demo project I made featuring a web app behind oauth2-proxy leveraging keycloak as local idp with social login. It also uses a devcontainer config for development. The demo app uses the Litestar framework (fka starlite, in Python) because I was interested, but it’s hardly the focus. Still gotta put caddy in front of it all for easy SSL. Oh, and clean up all the default secrets I’ve strewn about with appropriate secret management.

    All of it is via rootless podman and declarative configuration.

    Think I might have to create my own Litestar RBAC plugin that leverages the oauth headers provided by the proxy.

    It has been a minute since I worked daily in this space, so it has been good to dust off the cobwebs.
