The 'T' in "DevOps" stands for "Testing".

"Comcast customers have stumbled upon a startling discovery regarding the company's handling of Domain Name System (DNS) queries, revealing a policy of intercepting and resolving all DNS requests exclusively through its own servers. This practice [..] raises significant privacy and net neutrality issues. The incident underscores ongoing debates around internet service providers' (ISPs) control over user data and internet traffic."

Attention YAML haters: RFC 9512 YAML Media Type

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9512.html

It could have been done in Rust https://github.com/djanderson/aho

“Correct indentation is very important”

with an example using a proportional font.

People.

I've spent an hour or two going through different notes taken over the course of roughly two years. It's deplorable how many URLs I hit on which are 404 at best, 502, or even NXDOMAIN.

In my next life I'm gonna print out even more than I have in this one, and screw the environment.

Whoever developed this #ansible module for #mqtt was a fool: retain isn't set.

(cough)

Edit: for those who can't be bothered to follow the link: I wrote it. ;-)

Edit: chap actually did a good enough job, but the idiot who's using the module ...

@ronnie_bonkers the backend server doesn't do anything with the Authorization header. Good point though, thanks.

I have to ask, I'm sorry. #fedihelp

We're configuring a reverse proxy using Apache with this config https://github.com/owntracks/quicksetup/blob/main/files/apache/owntracks.conf.j2

All works fine, except two pages that use Web Sockets. They too connect, get their data, but after roughly 60 seconds Safari (macOS, iPadOS, iOS) re-prompt for basic auth credentials. Chrome/Firefox don't.

Using nginx with equivalent config surfaces exact same behaviour. I've read the WHOLE INTERNET and believe it's my configuration fault.

What am I doing wrong?

@feld @shane_kerr ah, sarcasm. I didn’t recognize it as a quote;)

@feld @shane_kerr ZFS no maintenance? I think it’s been rolled into https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenZFS and it looks quite active to me

@shane_kerr why? don't you like ZFS, or am I interpreting your toot incorrectly?

I realize you're all busy at Fosdem and whatnot and that it's Kaffee and Kuchen time, but the first person to teach me why my trivial CSS at https://owntracks.org/booklet/extra.css styles h2 in green but code not in yellow at https://owntracks.org/booklet/tech/json/ wins an honorable mention in said CSS file.

The colors can cause headaches, but it's my way of debugging.

Edit: Gergely Nagy wins:

/*
* My (JP's) thanks to Gergely Nagy for teaching me how this works!
*/

.rst-content code {
color: yellow;
}

McMericans. Always cute.

@feld I’d swear you said “in some US states it's illegal to charge for electricity”; the sun must be frying my brain
