(I did the answer as a separate toot: it's Firefox, which as of 63/64 now needs it for the build process.)

Great, it's apparently a dependency of #firefox 63. Guess I'll have to keep it.

So I'm doing a @world update on #gentoo and it wants to install nodejs. I don't know why, so it's time to find out.

@loke I don't really give a damn about losing 'cred'. It's more about the other side.

I've really fallen off the #mastodon wagon huh?

Took a random look at the licenses for the SkyHD box. Apparently as of 2016 it includes #freebsd 'file management software'. Wonder what that is.

great i've got mr bloom's 'meet the veggies' stuck in my head

@dr1ft wait what really?

hacky #linux #server thing of the day: server can't connect to letsencrypt over v6. add a hacky /etc/hosts entry for v4 and it works.

@bhtooefr @arcans @TheGibson not having a functional left wing must suck

man, this totally doesn't sound like anything bad or similar to things that have happened before: 'Dressed in their uniform—a black polo shirt with yellow piping—the Proud Boys can be seen stomping on a person on the ground near Third Avenue and 83rd Street on the east side of Manhattan. '

sometimes pgbouncer has weird DNS problems and needs to be kicked. Today was one of those times.

apparently EA are intending to make a remaster of #commandanconquer - yay! They've even pledged to have no microtransactions and hopefully they'll be no other shit involved.

today in #heartsofiron: I used a Cold War mod and had the Republic of China win the initial Civil War. In that game it's now October 1956 and WW3 has started over two unrelated events in Albania and Vietnam.

@taoeffect @sir don't think it supports HTTPS?

TIL the #yoshi #island theme is eerily similar to the Soviet anthem when played alongside each other.

@directhex as someone who has a few boxen that'd be nice to link up I wish there was a LDAP alternative that was simpler and not badly flawed like NIS.

@directhex i hope you'll never be excited by LDAP though

@directhex kerberos is pretty nice though

today on hypocrisy: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/brexiteer-hard-brexit-eu-passport-buy-malta-christopher-chandler-single-market-customs-union-a8185336.html. 'A New Zealand-born backer of a think tank advocating a hard Brexit has obtained an EU passport through Malta, it has been reported.' Hypocritical bastard, buying his way into rights he wants to see removed from other people.
