  1. I spent some time today setting up an external diff driver for #meld in a #git #worktree. Then I wrote up a #orgmode document and published it as a #blog post at davemq.github.io/2025/07/11/gi

  2. @komish @davemq Unfortunately, #PodmanDesktop had a different start-up process than I remember. This time there was an "onboarding" wizard that walked through failing to install Compose and Kubectl. The former just failed, and the latter I didn't give it permission to install as root. Also /usr/local/bin doesn't exist in #NixOS. So, I'll probably have to do a little work if I want to install those plugins.

  7. @komish @davemq FYI... I did a #NixOS update today and tried #PodmanDesktop again, and it _does_ start now (with onboarding problems).

    So, this bodes well for the possibility of experimenting with auto-generated quadlets.

  12. @komish @davemq Thanks! That is a much better description of quadlets than I've seen before. The last time I tried to generate a SystemD script from podman I got a depredation notice and a link to some incomprehensible quadlet documentation. I was furious! Why remove something that just works and is simple, and replace it with something overly convoluted and confusing?

    This article clarifies that a bit. Unfortunately the last time I tried #PodmanDesktop on #NixOS it didn't work 😢

    @davemq, you may run the next puzzle, nominate someone else to do so or pass.

  16. The current #HangTrek puzzle has been solved by @davemq. Well done!

    The answer was "I AM KLINGON. THE FIGHT IS WHERE I LIVE" (from Starfleet Academy E104, as stated by Obel Wochak).

    You may run the next round of #HangTrek, nominate someone else to do so, or pass.

  17. We've got a #HangTrek winner! In the 5th round of this game, @davemq correctly guessed

    PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE

    otherwise known as Jankom Pog's preferred technical solution in Star Trek Prodigy.

    Congrats, Dave! You can run the next game or nominate another to do so.

  18. We have a winner. The answer was "And then, flatulence" from Spock teaching Doug about "pull my finger" in the end credits of SNW Four and a half Vulcans.

    @davemq you can run the next round or nominate someone else.

  19. CW: HangTrek Solved

    @gareth
    Correct! If you’re not up to running the next game, please feel welcome to nominate someone. Otherwise, @darth_hideout has offered if I recall.

    In TAS Captain James T. Kirk says “You see, Commander, we do place a value on life, all life.”

    This one seemed an appropriate reminder of the franchise’s IDIC principles in difficult times.

    I’ve lost my bookmark for the quote in my *Offical Guide to the Animated Series* it seems. I recommend the book to all of those interested in the show. It’s very well done.

  27. @FritzAdalis @RuntimeArguments @jammcq @YesJustWolf

    Thanks. I did look this up after I wrote the post. I should have looked it up before. But still, without knowing that history, it appeared the speaker was either confused about and or equating them or something. It wasn't obvious to me that the OpenBSD team *wrote* OpenSSH. That's the way I heard it, might have misinterpreted what was said.

  28. @RuntimeArguments @jammcq @YesJustWolf

    You touched on the -R flag briefly. I've used it, but I don't recall it for the purpose you mentioned.

    I need to check out using certificates.

    I didn't know about password managers being ssh key agents. Another thing to check out, as I use a few 😀

    I also didn't know about ssh-import-id-gh, which doesn't appear to be part of any package in the Fedora repos.

    A better episode than I expected given my long use of .

    I've been a user since 1984, and spent my working life developing flavors of Unix and now . I listened to this episode over the past couple of days. I'm a long time user of One point of confusion and a few points that I learned.

    When talking about the origins of you talked about but didn't explain how it related to OpenSSH . Was OpenBSD involved in the creation of OpenSSH ? It could have used explanation.
