Imagine debugging a cool problem.
You've finished stage 1, now you need to take a break, think through the information you've gathered, and decide on the best approach to narrow down where the issue is.
And it so happens that it's time to go to bed, which is great, cause you'll be able to continue in the morning, right?
WRONG, in the morning you'll have to go to WORK and deal with much less interesting but more stressful problems, until you forget what you were debugging.

casually reading man systemd.exec again
> If DynamicUser= is used, and if the kernel version supports id-mapped mounts, the specified directories will be owned by "nobody" in the host namespace
ffs...
the idea behind "nobody" was that it's a user that *doesn't own anything*
and now systemd wants to make it so that configs and data of all services running as DynamicUsers will be owned by "nobody", so that any process running as "nobody" in the host namespace has access to them?

btw if you have multiple computers in your LAN, interacting with each other:
Set up NTP.
You don't need a GPS time source or a good connection to some Stratum 1 server. Just set up some ntp daemon (ntp, chrony, or whatever you have handy) on each of them, pointed at your distro's default NTP pool.
If you feel fancy, add them as each others' peers.
The goal is to have them within 1 second of each other. Which you won't get if you set the correct time once and forget it.

I think that part was already done.
But to the server, all pads are the same.
So when I enforce no-anonymous-creation on the server side, it handles regular pads fairly well. But it breaks account registration.
So I needed to understand how registration works on the client side. AFAIU it runs entirely in the secure iframe, but some requests go through chainpad, and some outside of it, there's never just a fetch() or XHR directly in business logic...

2025-05-05 12:59:52

- reply

@nprofile…mj4q @nprofile…quyg also, in the client, everything is defined 3 times and it's quite confusing to me how these things are layered / how the requests flow through the various wrapper objects and which layer is responsible for registration

2025-05-05 12:57:40

- reply

@nprofile…mj4q @nprofile…quyg there was no server-side enforcement, I troed adding it, but thay broke registration (with invites), because a user is also a pad (or two)...

Emoji are ideograms. Their value is derived not just from their appearamce, but from repeated use of the same emoji by many people in a particular type of situation. This can only work if there are FEW EMOJIS. Why the hell woulf they think infinitely many emojis is a good idea???!

- Nowa Lewica - as leftist as you can imagine. They think PO is not leftist enough. Also obsessed with bringing PiS to justice.

@nprofile…mj4q nah, the problem with them is that they (Konfederacja) are an amalgam of 4 smaller parties that run in the elections together. 3 of them are turbo-nationalist proponents of status-quo-ante, the remaining one is anarcho-capitalist. The thing they have in common is being for a small government and against welfare.
What I meant by pro-Russia is that they're against any support for Ukraine, and IIRC they repeated some of RUS propaganda.

@nprofile…mj4q here it's more about the politicians intentionally subverting the process of appointing judges, effectively creating a hard fork in the legal state...
and because the polarization isn't limited only to the political class, but goes vertically throughout the society, there is little public pressure to bring the split chains back in sync, and politicians who propose to do that don't get many votes :/

IME all government money comes with some strings attached. Sometimes it's possible to structure the strings in such a way that they do not introduce a conflict of interest, but it's difficult.

The best and worst thing about devops is that there are so many systems you're dealing with, you can't know all of them.
You have to be able to dive into a system you don't know and figure out why it doesn't work, and then work around the problem (and possibly propose a fix upstream if you have enough time and the company allows you).

It's not that important for Ukraine, but also costly for Russia to keep long term without a land connection with mainland Russia.

Yes, it is unfair that billionaires get to do that and you don't.
But I think a reasonable reaction to that is "everyone should be able to launch rockets into space".
And figuring out how to make it affordable, and how to regulate it such that allowing general public to launch things into space won't cause any issues.
