this is explicitly #techPosting but people are really weird about hypervisor OSes

"your hypervisor should ONLY be doing VMs!!!!!"
"right but it also handles literally all the disk stuff, so why can't I just run NFS stuff on i-"
"ONLY VMS11111111!!!1"

I am not an enterprise, I am just a girl. Don't do weird enterprise purity stuff, they suck anyway.

heeeeeey #python cats!

anyone know of a decent multi-language text tokenizer?

To be clear: I am explicitly looking to use it for non-generative-AI and other [slop/scab/labor theft] purposes.

Not sure of the specific terms I need to be looking up, frankly, since I'm mostly just finding Python's built in tokenize library which seems to be focused just on Python code.

Thank you!

#techposting gripe

Stop playing shenanigans with exit codes. Staaaaaaaaaahp.

hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

I also have one #proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

I don't think there's been any change on the #BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

I'm open to #LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

getting back into Python is weird because like every time I do there's a new fresh hotness to theoretically end all hotnessess re: package installation

and then the next time I get back in people are like, "that was such horseshit, this is the thing"

"wheel is bad, but poetry: so good!"
"poetry is shit, something something else is good (I dunno I kinda don't remember the name for this one)"
"we don't need that old one, we have WHEEL!"

motherfuckers

(yes, these are real things)

#techPosting #pythonLang #pythonPackaging

I kinda wanna try out the #guix #guixos but I feel like since I use both #plasmaDesktop and #steam (plus a lot of non-free stuff) I feel like maybe I'm just setting myself up for trouble?

but the idea of one language for everything, including services, and all of it being treated like a first class citizen is really appealing. Plus I'm pretty sick of the #nix community (fuck you, jon ringer, you warmongering garbage fucker).

me: "I'm too exhausted to do the job hunting CV restructuring I wanted to do today"
also me after reading a bunch of silly manga and an ADHD med: "alright, fire up my LaTeX docker container"

sidenote: I don't know how I feel about jetbrain's Fleet yet, except it is pretty easy to convert existing VSCode docker containers to it, it turns out (and so long as you don't use docker compose, it works fine with podman (tl;dr: it seems to have docker-compose instead of docker compose hard coded in and at least on F41, podman only provides the latter)) and it's nice to not have to install VS Code.

#techPosting #jetBrainsFleet #docker #latexSoftware <- does LaTeX have its own hashtag? As amusing as it would be to get this caught in a fetish post, I feel like people following costume/drag/fetish accounts don't deserve to be riddled with tech stuff.

(I mean, no one does).

tired: my regex is bad and I should feel bad
wired: my regex is bad and whose fault is that huh, bitch.

HA! FINALLY! Both the PostgresQL query and MySQL query work and return results to the calling functions! YES. SUCCESS.
