    @zwol Yeah, this does feel like a very systemd-style approach, with all the controversy that implies 😅

    I guess fundamentally though: the plain-text databases in /etc haven't been sufficient for decades, people need to dynamically generate answers to those queries, and expecting every process to run its own independent copy of whatever code the sysadmin has configured is the opposite of "do one thing well".

    So really, what's more "Unix philosophy" than splitting these lookups out to separate daemons? 🤔

    @zwol Ooh, tell me more. Do you mean that you'd want glibc to delegate to a service for every call which currently might call dlopen()? I could see that being a sensible policy.

    That could even be an improvement for testing, if you can configure what socket path either end uses. Then you can mock either end without interfering with the rest of the system.

    I am intrigued!

    3) Flags on everything. Flags flags flags. Those chunks in the dip? Flags.

    You've spent your life trying to transmute lead into gold, but can anyone transmute your heart? One down-on-his luck ex-geologist thinks he knows the formula, but it's going to take a pretty strong reagent. Will you let him warm you up with his exothermic charms? This summer, alchemy meets geochemistry in a steamy date-em-up you won't soon forget

    @tindall i once spent a while using my computer to set up a secondary network for the switch to attach to, so it could connect to the internet but all the traffic passed through my computer, to try to modify the page with the compose box in real time to let you type more

    i struggled with it for a while before i remembered that that's called a "man in the middle attack" and it's very good that i couldn't get it working

    Random thought that's popped up a few times recently: the ELK stack (elasticsearch, logstash, and kibana) provides about 85% of an ActivityPub implementation, has a plugin system, and is open source under an Apache license.

    TIL that by default NixOS configures glibc's "Name Service Cache Daemon" but... tells it not to cache?

    Turns out that NixOS uses nscd not for its original purpose, of caching passwd/group/hosts queries when they involve slow LDAP or NIS network requests... but instead just to have one single process that knows where the NSS ("Name Service Switch") plugin libraries are, so that nothing else on the system has to be configured to be able to find them.

    Which I think is both clever and horrifying, in equal measure?

    So this new article showed up on The Register today:
    https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/02/npm_abandons_settlement_talks/

    TL;DR NPM fired folks for trying to improve working conditions and talking about unionizing. Blatantly illegally. Union busting companies don't usually settle with the employees. That tells me this was egregious.

    I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

    This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

    You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!
