When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

I know these are crazy people, but I love the casualness of “having surgery and/or performing blood rituals” 😛

Whichever.

Someone could format it into essentially static pages and publish it on IPFS. That would probably be the easiest “decentralized hosting” method that remains browsable

That would be Toronto’s Pearson Airport! Often ranked the worst or nearly the worst in North America, depending on the survey. It’s not great…

YYZ is a pretty great song though!

Ugh, my bank does this. But they fucked up so bad, it’s on the client side and so slow that the page loads, and I go to click the login button, and then it moves out from under my cursor and I click the register button.

I don’t know who decided this was a thing people wanted, but they should have their UX license taken away…

Everything local, I assume, means no upload? My dad does house inspections and so there’s like 4 or 5 pdf forms he fills out all the time. If he were using this, would he upload the template every time, or could he upload it once and then fill it out multiple times?

I assume also that it wouldn’t keep a history of each finished file, and it’s all ephemeral?

Maybe not a teen thing, but among children I think “because 789” could bring 789 into the discussion.

If instead of a giant omnibus torrent they put a folder structure on IPFS, it would be essentially a fully available streaming Spotify clone with the ability for people to “pin” tracks or albums or artists to have them stay locally on their device…

Just saying…

I don’t know what this pic of Ron Perlman has to do with anything. Maybe he’s one of the good ones!

I mean, pushing pennies up my nose is a transferable skill in that I could push pennies up anyone else’s nose, and I could even make a whole TV career out of a show where I push pennies up people’s noses on the street.

So I’ll instead amend my statement to say that guile isn’t a common or often sought after skill. 😉

I fully support this correction, and I’m glad I know more than I did before. Thanks!

NixOS (and GuixSD) is a whole operating system. But base guix and Nix is a package manager that you can install into any existing distro and use for as many or as few packages as you want.

So you can give it a shot in roughly no time, is what I’m saying.

The main difference between the full system ones and the package manager ones is obviously that it manages system level packages and the kernel, but also that they have configuration systems setup to run daemons and manage system config. But other than that it’s just the same paradigm as the package manager version.

Yeah! I was just coming here to recommend GuixSD or NixOS! Not because they’re normal, but because they’re not, and you have an opportunity to screw around 😅

Fedora and Debian are different but also pretty similar. Arch or Gentoo are more different. The atomics like bazzite and silverblue are even more different. And then there’s NixOS and GuixSD that are basically a completely different paradigm of how to setup a system. And that might be frustrating if it doesn’t work for you, but as a test computer go wild! Heck, try NixOS and GuixSD to experience their differences from each other!

The only other thing I might recommend for a challenge is something like Linux From Scratch where you don’t have any distro and you just build everything yourself. Definitely not recommended for normal people! It’s a project rather than something you can just try out for a weekend. And it may be frustrating, who knows. But if you’re into that kind of thing it may be enlightening!

Listen, I use guix so I’m not against you, but claiming that Guile, or even any scheme / lisp, is a transferable skill is a stretch 😛

As a software developer for 20 years, configuring guix is the only time I’ve encountered guile. And the only time I’ve used any kind of lisp is when I forced myself to during a coding challenge or advent of code thing, just for interest’s sake.

So again, I know what you’re saying, but for me, deep in the industry, guile might as well be a bespoke language for configuring guix 😅

All of her facial features are a bit bigger on the left, like her nose. I wonder if it’s a focal length thing like this dude?

I might even recommend naming it or tagging it with your name or something similarly identifiable, like ‘local/whatever’ so that 18-month-from-now-you will remember you built this one locally and to update it yourself from source, rather than being like “where the hell did this come from and why can’t I find it now!? Did they remove the repo? Why!?”

I’ll admit I don’t use dockge, so it’s possible I’m misunderstanding…

But I think if you have a source folder on the box, separate from the one you keep your compose files in, you can run:

docker build -t someName:someVersion .

and that will build the image. Then in your normal docker compose folder you just specify the image as matching whatever you built it as, and docker won’t pull images it already has, so it’ll just use the one you already built.

So yeah this source folder is different from the compose folder, but you don’t have source folders for all the stuff you didn’t build, so this shouldn’t really be that different. And the compose part doesn’t care where the images came from once you have them.

The “where I live” part is key. Because very likely this person is in SF, where they cannot buy a luxurious house cash with that money, and where cost of living eats surprisingly far into that stupid high number.

But notably, this is why all the normal people who don’t make a half million dollars a year can’t live in SF! 😅

I always assumed the name was more of a reference to audio Master Recordings.

It’s the original tapes or whatever that all copies are derived from. It’s also where the term “remastering” comes from, as in “we went in and rebuilt a new master from the individual tracks, and this is the new master now”, versus just making another copy of the master for a re-release.
