Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
  • In a professional setting, sometimes the cost of developing something more performant in C is not worth it. The velocity unlocked by creating systems in Go is just incredible, after your company has built everything in C[++] for decades. I find myself creating gRPC APIs in Go to solve most design challenges, because it's stupid fast to develop and is fairly maintainable after.

    Pacifier Puppy [Bichon Frise]
  • Looks more like a Bichon Frise rather than a Poodle - but probably an unnecessary distinction, as it is still cute.

    How to detect problems on computer?
  • Are you running them from your user session? If so, when you log out it will stop your processes, unless you have enabled 'linger' mode.

    Those of you that have AmTrak'd cross-country (East-West/West-East), how was your experience?
  • Not cross country but northeast corridor is fantastic - DC to Boston, ezpz. Faster than flight with the BS you need to do on both sides. Also the stations are in the hearts of the city of DC, Philly, NYC, and Boston - get off the train and walk to your hotel or whatever - it's just the best.

    Simple EV cars
  • I was excited for this car that was all about simplicity and recyclability, sacrificing speed and features: https://www.citroen.co.uk/about-citroen/concept-cars/citroen-oli.html

    But of course, they will never actually make and sell it :(

    Gettysburg
  • The word salad is something - but that venue is over 2hr away from Gettysburg, PA.

    Like going to Augusta, GA and saying "Atlanta, oh Atlanta. Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta...."

    Restart Docker Container Without root privileges
  • You could write a script that just restarts your container, make sure unprivileged users cannot edit it, and do one of two things:

    1. make a sudoers entry for your unprivileged account to call just that script as a user in the docker group with sudo
    2. use setuid on the script to have it execute from the docker group even when executed by users

    Do you remember what your first ever favorite song was? What was it?
  • American Pie by Don McLean

    I would listen to it on repeat for what seems like an entire era of my life. Could sing the whole thing at some point!

    K3s+Wireguard(?)
  • K8s has a mild solution to chicken and egg situations for nodes - the nodes support 'static manifests' which can be pods they know how to bring up before ever connecting to the API server. So you could have your wireguard peer be brought up this way. Downside is while those static manifests show up in k8s APIs, they aren't fully manageable since they are defined by files on disk.

    Asus putting solder but not a chip on this spot on its motherboard so you can have a heart attack when you notice it
  • Wave soldering machine - they basically suspend the whole board above a vat of solder, it bonds anywhere it can. So if they don't need that chip on this model, it's getting solder anyway.

    Ohh shit....
  • Sometimes I wonder if in 75 years people will look back on our caffeine use in this generation like we currently look back at cocaine use in products in the 19th century. Until then, I continue to slurp down coffee like that is my actual job.

    Taylor Swift threatens legal action against Florida student who tracks her jet | CNN Business
  • But flight data is available - this guy just labels her N number and filters the data in a creepy way. I get that it's probably causing her danger to have stalkers waiting at the destination for her - but those stalkers always had access to this flight data.

    Seems like a workaround for Taylor would be to not own a plane and charter a different one every time. (Or do something actually environmentally minded :/)

  • Hi Lemmy, My HOA sent out a email saying dogs are no longer allowed on any grass in common areas or front yards including grass between sidewalk and curb which is.... everywhere except our own tiny backyards. The reasoning is some dog urine effected dead spots. Honestly I didn't even notice them, it's 95° here and all the grass looks sad.

    It's a walking town and we are not a gated community, non-residents walk their dogs here all the time, so this rule can only punish those who live here and has no ability to effect others.

    Anyway, this seems like a 'we have tried nothing and we are all out of ideas!' moment so I wanted to see if anyone here had any suggestions I can pass on to maintain a "good" curb appeal ground cover-wise while allowing dogs to do normal dog stuff.

    I can converse with the HOA board in good faith, but this rule is basically banning dogs from the neighborhood - which I super did not sign up for.

    Pertainent info: PA, USA - Town Home style homes - small central common grass - owned for 8y.

    Edit: it seems like people may have glossed over the question part and skipped straight to HOA bashing (which is warranted at times!) so I will rephrase:

    What ground covering or neighborhood solutions to similar (perceived) issues have other communities employed?
