Welcome to the server @adam @constance @Snate !
Hello friends, we now have @newsbot which can automatically mirror tweets and RSS feeds for us! Currently set up to mirror Taylor Swift tweets and Linux Weekly News RSS feed. Feel free to message me with requested accounts. Unfortunately they are all under the same account so you can't really pick and choose which feeds to follow.
FYI we now have Taylor Swift on this Mastodon https://snake.club/web/statuses/106112954245881281
You cracked the codes and guessed all the From The Vault titles. ๐๐๐ Hereโs the full track list, my friends.

Also, 100% interested in making content warnings for technical content a more common thing. Prevents nerd sniping and helps people who just don't want to see tech stuff ignore it.

My personal/snake.club infra hygiene is really weird. I use terraform to manage instances, object storage buckets, etc across both AWS and Linode. But then for my actual management of my server, there's no puppet/ansible/anything. Just a git repo full of docker-compose and systemd units, with a shell script to link them all into place.
Also a shell script to configure iptables.
@bentley am I doing it right?
A complaint for frontend devs: no more keyCode for form validation please!

A fun read about blocking filename lookups! It can serve as a jumping off point into the topic of filename lookups in general (the infamous namei function/file). A part of you OS you don't think about much, but is actually critical and complex.
