I would like to do some cheap large format (like poster size, not street sign size) printing of poems I like, to put up in my home. Anyone have any hints, tips, and tricks along those lines? Local print shops are great but too expensive for me at the moment for what would just be "text in a pleasing font on a piece of paper, but bigger"

매번 느끼지만 MS에서 만든 앱은 정말 대다수가 쓰레기임... 이렇게 꾸준히 못만드는것도 엄청난 재주임 거기서 일하시는분이 혹시 보시면 화나시겠지만 도무지 칭찬해드릴 포인트가 없네요... MS가 비행기 만들면 정말 3대중 1대는 가다가 추락할것임; 아웃룩부터해서 뭐 하나 제대로 된것이 없음... 엑셀이 과거에는 정말 멋진 앱이었는데 가면 갈수록 망가짐... 왜 그런지 짐작은 가지만 정말 ㅋㅋㅋ...

What I'm listening to today: "Heart's Desire", Awkward McLain
A Bandcamp beatmaker goes in for a bit of lo-fi hip hop and astral projection. Lovely crisp feeling.
The box is SP-404mk2, the most recent of a series of surprisingly incremental updates to J Dilla's favorite sampler, with the main effect AFAICT to add, like, USB and SD card support and the stuff that makes a device actually convenient to use in 2021.
What I'm listening to today: "The Mashed Up Mixes - Diplo of Hollertronix Meets RJD2"
During that 10 minutes of mainstream craze for "mashups", lo-fi hip hop virtuoso RJD2 invited a few artists to make DJ mixtapes out of his his back catalog. There's also a good one by "Haul & Mason", but this mix stuck in my head forever for a segment that strings together Cat Power, Slick Rick and Steve Reich, and later on what's still to me the definitive version of Outkast's "Roses"
💥 It's Changelog & Friends!
Our Changelog & Friends proof-of-concept with Mat Ryer has been remastered! Now with full-length video on YouTube. Originally recorded: 2023-02-08
Mat joins us for some good conversation about some Git tooling that's been on our radar. We speculate, we discuss, we laugh, and Mat even breaks into song a few times. It's good fun.
Sometimes the cringe music just works (apologies in advance 😀)

#Sectigo wirft #GÉANT in marketing mails eine unfaire Darstellung der Situation vor, die zur einseitigen und vorzeitigen Kündigung der Verträge geführt hatte. Sie führen einerseits finanzielle Gründe auf, was sicher auch stimmen kann, behaubten aber in einem verlinkten PDF später folgendes:
"Our decision to step away from GÉANT was guided by our responsibility to remain in full compliance with the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, as well as the
root program policies established by major browser and operating system vendors, [...]"
Spannende Formulierung. GÉANT hätte also, laut Sectigos Darstellung hier, mit ihrer fortlaufenden Nutzung der Sectigo Dienstleistungen gegen CA Richtlinien verstoßen? Oder Sectigo dazu genötigt, das zu tun? Da wäre ich wirklich mal an den Details interessiert. Anyone?

It's funny how `brew switch` still saves my butt on the regular even though it's been deleted from official Homebrew for ages.
I think most people don’t know, but Homebrew can keep multiple versions of a package installed - if you set HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP, when upgrading, the old version will be kept on-disk in an inactive location. `brew switch` was a command you could use to switch which version of a specific version is active, but it was removed awhile back.

We have selected the presentations for the Fediverse track we are organizing at #SFSCon and will send out confirmations shortly.
Thanks everybody who proposed a talk! It's going to be a good mix of technical and broader, societal content.
Looking forward to Bolzano in November!
Saw a Tesla out today whose driver was holding up a cell phone, gesticulating wildly on their call, neither hand on the wheel. Everything else about them being Nazi cars and needing to fuck off quite aside, they're unsafe as hell, and drivers use them in unsafe ways.
The Death of the Page Cache? https://codemia.io/blog/path/The-Death-of-the-Page-Cache-From-mmap-to-NVMe-ZNS-and-User-Space-File-Systems
Notes a newly perceived trend in DB software to avoid kernel caching and I/O, to handle it all in the DB itself.
In reality, DB folks have had this argument with OS folks since at least the 1970s. Nothing new here, e.g. Oracle has used raw partitions on Unix since the 1980s.
If your DB has the entire machine to itself, and your programmers are architecture experts and don't screw up, you can outperform the kernel.

So... someone created an account impersonating me on a PeerTube instance and is uploading my videos in full there. Not cool. https://tube.govital.net/c/jeff_geerling/videos

ugh. so apparently there's also a shitty canadian internet censorship bill because of course there is, so if you're in canada don't let this one slip through the cracks...

sure is strange how every "liberal democracy" suddenly introduces the same internet censorship bill at the same time. such a weird coincidence haha

It’s a sad time of year for me - it’s been two years since I lost my Mum. The overcast autumnal weather has had a big impact as well.
But it’s finally broken and there’s been some sun for an end-of-week bike ride.
