Wow, I think I compiled the #Linux kernel about 20 times for that #git bisect

But I think I successfully identified the commit that causes my system to freeze: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3868#note_2718234

Haha, oops

I just realised I didn't have MAKEOPTS set in my current shell session, so I was compiling the kernel using only a single CPU core instead of 31 (I like to leave 1 core for breathing room)

I was wondering why this was taking so long...

Here I am, taking a few weeks break from professional software development, and I'm compiling the #Linux kernel (probably going to do this a dozen or so times) to bisect a driver issue

Hopefully, I can locate the bad commit before my toddler wakes up, but I suspect this may be a task that I pause and resume over the next few days

As every free #ContinuousIntegration vendor is feeling the pinch of cryptocurrency freeloaders, they've all limited the amount of free CI jobs/minutes, and I've just run out of mine at #GitLab (for actual software project tests, not disgusting cryptocurrency mining)

So I setup a GitLab CI Runner on the #Kubernetes cluster that I #SelfHost in my #HomeLab and it does actually work: I can push commits to gitlab.com and it'll manage the orchestration of CI jobs running on my own machines!

I did run into a few issues, the main one being that a critical part of this setup is architecture-specific and does not auto-detect, so I had to hardcode the ARM64 image to get jobs running on my cluster (which is a bunch of Raspberry Pi 4 nodes): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/510740

Also, I run some of my test jobs using the "archlinux/archlinux" and "homebrew" images, and they unfortunately (but understably) do not support linux/arm64 , so I'm either going to have to emulate x86_64 to run those containers very slowly, setup a completely separate runner and hardware for x86_64 jobs, or remove these tests from my setup for the time being

I'm trying to get through this vodka before it expires

Gosh, the pricing between the #ProtonMail suite with a custom domain for 2 people (they even have a family plan) is pretty close to #GoogleForWorkspace (no family plan, no discount for an annual subscription)

I'm torn between making progress on my #deGoogle efforts, versus getting the full utility out of the #Google gear and services that we still use

The impending anti-trust action against Google is probably the strongest factor helping me stay on my current course, given that the future utility/convenience/omnipresence of Google's services is probably (hopefully) going to change in some material way

Hehe, someone wrote a paper about the origin of the Nutbush City Limits dance: https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/06/how-the-nutbush-became-australias-unofficial-national-dance/

Status update: 25% through the 4 hour time window where an #NBNco technician may or may not appear

I'm realising now that recent hydration was a mistake, and that I cannot allow bodily functions to interfere with my vigil over the front door

Haha, I just read

"Kubernetes SIG Node hope ..."

Whilst procrastinating doing the personal project coding that I intended to do (why!?), I spent my precious off-baby-duty minutes last night bringing up a #k3s #RaspberryPi cluster ( https://k3s.io/ )

I had intended to limit control plane traffic to just these nodes, but I already had a #firewalld zone setup to constrain traffic to local sources, and traffic can only match one source-based zone

That firewall configuration part aside, the rest of the cluster setup was effortless

This time around, I want to give seaweedfs ( https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs ) a try for high-availability storage, which will hopefully unblock me in terms of actually doing useful things on my #selfhosted #kubernetes #homelab

Perhaps this is a question for @protonprivacy and similar companies?

Has Australia's Technical Assistance Bill made Aussie technology workers unemployable outside of Five Eyes countries?

We're living in a golden age of remote work, but I can't help but wonder if there are many companies that can't afford the risk that we'll be legally and secretly compelled to compromise them from within

I just installed #snyk @snyk today, and I'm impressed with their LSP language server option, which means that in-editor diagnostics for projects are available for users of #neovim and #helixeditor

Usually, it's pretty common for tooling to have VSCode and IntelliJ plugins (snyk has these, too) but completely ignore everything else

Great work, keep it up! <3

Huh, so the new monitor arrived, yay

But now I'm having to revisit my decision to stick with #GNOME until #COSMIC is ready, because GNOME 45 only offers integer scaling for display with high pixel density and 125% / 1.25 is really the ideal scaling for me now

I guess I'm switching my #Linux gaming PC back over to sway again

@thisismissem howdie, I've been meaning to ask you about the moderation tooling / trust+safety work you mention in your bio? Is there any particular project or wiki or something where an interested person might get started?

Wow, I think we've accidentally arrived for the referendum vote at exactly the right time: nobody in line, but a whole bunch of people arriving after us
