For my fellas in #DevOps task (taskfile.dev) recently released an update to their cross-platform shell interpreter to include some builtins that translate very common shell commands to Windows. Like cp, tar, mv, mkdir, find, and so on. I've been building and shipping my apps with taskfiles instead of powershell or bash or ash scripts. Just a single yaml file with clear commands.

Any of my fellow sysadmins pay for RHEL? Do you feel that it's worth it? Sometimes you have to pay for quality, and support.

This past week I released vnlib v0.1.2. It's still in it's infancy almost 6 years after I started it. vnlib itself is just a collection of utility, and server libraries for .NET and native. When glued together though, aims to bring a totally different architecture that challenges ASP.NET and many other projects.

Update on the #vgpu guide situation. I haven't finished it because I'm _still_ fighting with drivers on linux. I thought i had it working, but alas I do not. It appears that using a much older and similar kernel version between your host and guests is ideal. Which is a problem since I prefer Fedora which uses bleeding edge kernels. Also just because the driver builds and loads, does not mean that it won't fail in mysterious ways later.

For those of you who use #jumble are y'all on mobile? I still personally don't like it, on desktop. I still like the power-user-ness of nostrudel I guess. Even performance, old #nostrudel still does it way better on my rig.

LinkedIn became my enemy once they told me I needed a smart phone, their app installed, KYC with my credentials, pictures of my government ID, and a selfie upload, if I wanted to participate on their platform. Heres the help article if you don't believe me

I think centralization partly happens when the cost to compete in the market starts to increase rapidly. In the case of nostr, reading dissenting opinions on nostr's decentralization status in particular. It's very cheap to compete in providing relays for users, and very cheap for users to simply swap their relay provider. So long as that's the case I don't think we really risk centralization to the degree it affects the promises of nostr. You will never be extreme enough for some, and too extreme for others. As long as your getting both opinions you're probably in the sweet spot.
