  2. @whack It always felt like Windows and Mac worlds had an advantage by not needing to support all the fragmentation, while also having way more money.

    So my policy for #mgmtconfig has been support Fedora x86_64 only. Best effort for Debian. And anything else has to be paid or community patched.

    Why Fedora? Because it's the most clean, upstream, and sensibly put together distro out there, and new stuff landing first helps a lot.

  3. @whack Given the prices you are siting I am assuming you are in the #USA. When I bought my #CPAP I did not have DME coverage. The price was much cheaper if I just bought the thing. So might be worth it to ask the cash price. Also, with CPAP you can get a used unit. Is this an option with insulin pumps?

    Love seeing some mcl! You can also do:

    import "git://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/modules/virtualization/"
    include virtualization.vm("test1", struct{
    #sshkey => ...,
    index => 42,
    distro_uid => "fedora42-x86_64",
    root_password_selector => "password:hunter2",
    seeds => [fmt.printf("http://%s:2379", $etcd_ip),],
    })

    You'll need to set module path stuff though, which is not well documented atm :/

  6. @whack You are an excellent human, and far too kind. If you've got good "Puppet" knowledge, and put in the work to squint, then you can fumble around. But there still a lot of blanks that need filling in and documenting.

    We're on the matrix home server in #mgmtconfig if you want to ask longer questions too.

    If you happen to see some trolls spamming about Brian (many popped up on infosec.exchange), please don't engage but just report them to the server.

  10. CW: violence, blood

    WHACK JOB: A HISTORY OF AXE MURDER, by Rachel McCarthy James, starts out as a pop-archaeology book, shifts to history, and ends up in true crime. (There are cover blurbs from Mary Roach, Daniel Stashower, and Sarah Weinman, which covers this spectrum.)

    The author begins with Cranium 17 at the archaeological site La Sima de los Huesos ("the pit of bones") in Spain, a 430000-year-old skull that's the earliest known evidence of person-on-person violence, entwined with a discussion of flints and hand axes. Next, the killing of the Egyptian pharoah Seqenenre Tao in 1550BCE, followed by the axes in the tomb of Fu Hao in 1200BCE China and the death of the Greek tyrant Stesagoras in 550BC.

    She turns to history with the medieval Vikings and Henry VIII's executions, George Washington accidentally triggering a war and William Tillman taking back his ship from Confederate pirates planning to enslave him. The true-crime portion revisits two familiar cases, the murders of Lizzie Borden's parents and Julian Carlton's murderous rampage at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin, and then covers more obscure but equally sad victims.

    If you straddle both science and true crime in your reading (like me), this book might be exactly in your wheelhouse if you want something light but thoughtful.

  19. Whacking #HeadStart and #JobCorps isn't blind slashing. Like the NIH and NSF indirect cost caps and the broader attack on higher ed, the goal is to end economic upward mobility. #Project2025 in action. Screwing poor people, especially poor non-white, non-straight, non-male, and non-cis people.
