Oh I know it’s better, problem is I host some stuff my friend group relies on so I don’t want downtime while I figure things out. Also, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass to get NixOS set up on a VPS without native support (I’m on Hetzner and I know it’s possible, it’s just a bit of a hassle). It’s one of those projects that I’ll get to eventually, when I got time. Or so I tell myself

NixOS for most things, Debian on some servers as a docker host

Yeah I agree. Although recently I’ve become partial to toml… In the end I’ll use what’s common in the ecosystem I’m developing in

Nothing too major about how it’s usually used, but the yaml spec does allow arbitrary code execution when parsing a file and relies on the parser to have that feature disabled: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Security

That’s why for python, yaml.save_load() is a thing. That’s fine for your local config files and may even be a feature for you, but it shouldn’t be used to exchange information between services.

Glory to the saboteurs!

I don’t buy it

a good approach to Ubisoft games

It has a steep learning curve, but it’s super nice to use once you’re over the initial bump

Man, that’s brutal. The way he keeps on walking for a few steps before collapsing…

I just want Russia to get out of Ukraine and this senseless slaughter to end

rapists are ordinary men =/= all men are rapists

Thanks for the reply! I missed most of the drama, but yes, it was a mess and I can see why you’d jump to conclusions. I still think that rule 5 should either be removed/reworded or at least supplemented by some guidelines as to what constitutes ‘politics’, but I realize now this is neither the time nor the place to discuss that with the nuance it deserves. For now, I’m content with some very non-credible coping strategies for all the clusterfucks happening in the world. Thanks for the work you’re doing for the community c:

I think both @Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone and me very much care about this community and about how to improve it. Since this is a meta post by a mod, talking about the rules, I thought it’s the best place to talk about what we think about certain aspects of the rules, and how they could be abused. This is not an attempt to start up drama or to denigrate any work done by moderators, but an attempt at conversation.

I’m not a fan that that is met with the suggestion to go somewhere else and create a new community. People have grown attached to this community, and I don’t think anyone wins in this kind of all or nothing stance.

My apologies if a conversation about rules and their interpretation is not wanted here, but is there any other place to talk about meta topics like this?

He’s not gonna do well if the Russians get him… I hope he made it

It’s also a legitimate question: what constitutes politics in the eyes of the moderators? That question cannot be answered without bringing one’s own politics into the discussion. Is queer people existing political? Bigots would claim so. Besides, war is just politics though violent means, and satire should also always be political. So being strict on the “no politics” rule is next to impossible, and selective enforcement is often worse than none at all.

The bullet train is wholly irrelevant here. It does not transport cargo now, does it? Build a fucking freight train line. Every time some tech bro suggests a solution involving pods, a civil engineer has a stroke

Build a god damn train
