I’ve had a really hard time figuring out how to get cloud native pg working 'cause I couldn’t get longhorn working for disk space.

So instead I went with a separate Raspberry Pi that isn’t part of the cluster to host a single Postgres instance.

It’s inelegant, but has worked for years. Still, I’d rather host a separate pg instance for each project… I just have to figure the above out first.

I’d settle for not aiding the cause.

Ferengi rule of aquision #285: “No good deed ever goes unpunished”.

As Trudeau once said: “I’ve been called worse things by better people”.

Neat project, but it appears to be using (L)GPL code in a bunch of places while being licensed under MIT. That’s a big no-no.

This reminds me of an excellent video I saw about “AI” the other day: “We are so deeply steeped in bullshit that we have forgotten that there used to be such a thing as ‘truth’”. It’s long, but maybe you’ll like it too.

There’s no grey in the science. We’re burning the world, and attempts to sound enlightened with platitudes doesn’t change that.

Social media is great for kids or adults when compared to the monolithic groupthink alternative. The problem isn’t social media, it’s the companies behind it, driving engagement through hate and outrage.

This is a big reason why nonprofit, fediverse options are healthier spaces for everyone: no one is profiting off of making you hate anyone else.

Yes, if you go looking, you’ll definitely find content that’s unhealthy or even dangerous, but (a) federated systems tend to protect against this with defederation, but critically (b) it’s not pushed into your eyeballs by a third party motivated to do so. In this way, nonprofit social media is a lot like real life: sure you can meet Terrible People, but that’s just existing in society.

We’re not grading on a curve, and simply having reserves doesn’t obligate us to burn them.

You can’t call yourself a “leader” on the climate when you’re routinely winning “Fossil of the Day” awards during international climate talks. That’s not a champion of the climate, it’s a villain.

Being the best of a list of villains (and we’re not even that) doesn’t make you the good guy. We’re burning the world. We’re the bad guys. The only area we’ve been leaders is in obstruction of progress, though we often have to fight for this title with the US.

It’s a lack of education combined with willful ignorance. No one wants to accept that the Canadian way of life: monster trucks connecting suburbs masquerading as cities, massive energy waste combined with fossil fuel underpinning the economy – is in direct contradiction to a habitable planet… so they pretend it’s not a problem.

Source: my whole family lives in the Okanagan. They all think like this, regardless of their political spectrum.

Canada was never a climate leader.

Sure, we had a tiny carbon tax, but any honest assessment of the facts would include the billions spent on fossil infrastructure at the same time.

Carney has merely done away with Trudeau’s pretence of climate responsibility. If we wanted action on climate, we wouldn’t elect Liberals.

I’ve already responded to this once, but I watched a short YouTube series this week that has really helped me understand some of the social barriers to being the person I want to be in the world the way that it is, so I thought I’d share it:

It’s a short series about activism: the different kinds, how they can all be helpful, how to engage and grow in your own role as antagonist to the status quo. It’s really quite excellent. I think you’ll appreciate it.

Stopping short of admitting they were moving too fast or too far, the government said that it would extend the public engagement period until July 22.

Yeah this sounds more like he’s going to allow the plebs to yell a bit more so he can later run through whatever he wants claiming he “consulted”.

He’s already got the CBC running headlines suggesting that this isn’t just a meaningless pause. Don’t fall for it.

Wow, Markdownr is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

I couldn’t abide such a wall of text, so I reformatted everything into a Markdown table:

This feels oddly specific, like there’s a famous map out there with Carter and a rabbit. Anyone know what he’s talking about?

Edit: I found the Wikipedia article about the incident, but no map yet.

I have Arch on my desktop, and all my laptops, but all of my servers run Debian. If you want your machine to have all the latest stuff, then Arch is great. If you want it to Just Work™ all the time without any concerns, Debian is great.

More of this please. They should be hounded everywhere they go.

Cool stuff! For future projects, you might want to check out Typer, as it’d save you a bunch of the boilerplate and supports things like tab completion too.
