Anything helps, I'm over here every day working my ass off. I started dollctl from scratch earlier this year and it now has all the makings of a production-ready devops platform. I'm on my way to finishing the first chapter of Polycrisis, now averaging 2 pages per week. I live in a van, I don't drink, and I don't eat out, but money is unfortunately still necessary to make shit happen.

Brut is a POSIX shell script for building command-line programs composed of many small executables. It is small (~120 lines), but features thorough literate documentation for those of us who still appreciate the value of readable, understandable code.

Programs written with Brut can run entirely from source with no additional dependencies beyond the standard POSIX utilities, which makes them easy to audit and embed.

(sigil has basically the same versioning scheme as dollctl but dollcmd has no versioning yet as it doesn't yet have feature parity with sigil)

all this to say, i have a private IaC repo triggering pipeline runs which automatically rebuilds and uploads a service ^^

zip.NewReader: gzip: invalid header

useless library is useless

Who should I thank? My so-called "colleagues," who laugh at me behind my back, all the while becoming famous on my work? My worthless graduate students, whose computer skills appear to be limited to downloading bitmaps off of netnews? My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit "fooling around with computers," go to med school, and become a radiologist? My department chairman, a manager who gives one new insight into and sympathy for disgruntled postal workers?
My God, no one could blame me---no one!---if I went off the edge and just lost it completely one day. I couldn't get through the day as it is without the Prozac and Jack Daniels I keep on the shelf, behind my Tops-20 JSYS manuals. I start getting the shakes real bad around 10am, right before my advisor meetings. A 10 oz. Jack 'n Zac helps me get through the meetings without one of my students winding up with his severed head in a bowling-ball bag. They look at me funny; they think I twitch a lot. I'm not twitching. I'm controlling my impulse to snag my 9mm Sig-Sauer out from my day-pack and make a few strong points about the quality of undergraduate education in Amerika.
If I thought anyone cared, if I thought anyone would even be reading this, I'd probably make an effort to keep up appearances until the last possible moment. But no one does, and no one will. So I can pretty much say exactly what I think.
Oh yes, the acknowledgements. I think not. I did it. I did it all, by myself.

bad news- i have been awake since 3

i'll take it i guess ><

its not like people like me are ignoring this aspect (capitalism as designed, it isnt rocket science), its that we see that a better way of life is possible and that there is value in investing in it now, not just waiting for the rest of yall to come around...
