Governments never announce that they have become fascist they announce that the antifascists are now the enemy of the state.

Accurate.

They have filed for eviction.
If I can get caught up, I should be okay but yeah. That will mean my kids, cats and I will all be without housing.
Assistance has been denying me.
I need a lot of help.

Shell completion | Optique Learn how to add shell completion support to your CLI applications using Optique's built-in completion system. Covers Bash and zsh integration, custom suggestions, and native file completion.

For a CLI parser library, generating help is a given, why not completion script generation? Argsparse, climate & optparse do (only for bash, zsh & fish).

Well, if you're writing in TypeScript, Optique now has one, and it covers bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, and Nushell!

Pentagon Expands Its Restrictions on Reporter Access

When I was fighting in Iraq & Afghanistan, I needed to know that journalists could ask tough questions to hold those in power accountable.

It's a dangerous moment when our leaders require the press to self-censor their reporting, or face punishment.

Free speech is under attack.

I definitely don't have problems with emoji. They can be extremely succinct when used properly, E.g. Using ✅⚠️❌ as status icons in lists of output. Why do you think all the terminals (and business apps) are adding support for emoji?

No worries, doesn't affect the bit you're concerned with 😉

Right now I'm downloading & extracting to disk, then calling docker buildx.

I'm pretty sure that I can build the tarballs and skip a step 😉

I want to build an OCI server with tags piped through from GitHub api, then generate images on-demand, but that may be too slow.

I'm thinking about packing them into an OCI package...

I have a `feature/oci` branch that can build multi-os/arch docker container images with just base + bin from the download.

But I want a multi-os/arch "installer" that would use the same (last) OCI layer as the source.

Yes to both of those. Most of these apps don't have extra assemblies -- at least the ones I can think of.

Right now I'm just copying everything:

foreach($File in Get-ChildItem $FromDir -File -Recurse) {
sudo mv -f $File.FullName $ToDir
sudo chmod +x "$ToDir/$($File.Name)"

Right, exactly, and on windows that's easy, because I install all the tools to a folder. But on posix systems, I've been installing to /usr/bin —because it's easier than permanently updating the PATH

I've always thought we should outlaw HOAs, on account of them seeing up mini-towns within towns, but this takes the cake.

Yeah, parameter with env variable default would be nice.

I am also using this to install tools in build pipelines (where I don't need to scan things, because they're well trusted stuff like flux, oras, regal), but I think I need a better (more cache-enabled) solution for that.

Could lithium explain — and treat — Alzheimer’s? — Harvard Gazette New study finds deficiency ignites neurodegenerative disease, and restoring it reverses brain aging in mice.

Harvard found that lithium occurs naturally in the brain, and lithium deficit is one of the earliest changes leading to Alzheimer’s.

May lead to better Alzheimer's diagnosis, but better yet, they found a new lithium compound that actually restored memory in mice!

That sounds like an extra function we could add...

Do you often find a new CLI tool on Github, go to releases, find the right binary, download, unzip, put them somewhere ...

Check out FromGithub

Works cross-platform, finds the right binary for the OS where it's running. You can re-run it to update.

PowerShell in CI/CD Pipelines: A Practical Tour of Deployment Options by Blake Cherry, Danny Stutz Explore the diverse ways to deploy PowerShell scripts using DevOps continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines! This session will investigate the options for running PowerShell in CI/CD processes. We'll start by discussing when and why you might want to incorporate PowerShell into your CI/CD pipelines, highlighting the benefits of automation, consistency, and efficiency in deployment workflows. Next, we'll delve into various methods of deploying PowerShell within pipelines, including: • Locally on Build Agents: Running scripts directly on the pipeline's host machine. • Azure PowerShell DevOps Tasks: Utilizing built-in tasks for seamless integration with Azure services. • Containers and Custom Dockerfiles: Exploring available PowerShell container images, considerations for modules requiring authentication, and best practices for creating custom Dockerfiles tailored to your needs. We'll also compare the capabilities of different CI/CD platforms for running PowerShell, such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab. We'll discuss: • Platform Differences: How each platform handles PowerShell execution via pipeline. • Selection Criteria: Factors influencing the choice of platform for your specific use case. • Advantages and Limitations: Understanding the strengths of each platform in the context of PowerShell deployment. Additionally, we'll explore how PowerShell can be integrated with other DevOps tools like Terraform and Ansible, discussing key considerations and best practices for these scenarios. By the end of this session, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the options available for deploying PowerShell via pipelines and how to choose the best approach for your projects.

Georgia was about to retire coal plants. Then came the data centers. Georgia was going to retire its coal plants, but then the data centers arrived. AI is pushing energy providers back to fossil fuels.

“The data center industry is booming all over,” and utilities across the country are polluting more to meet data center energy demands, all when scientists agree that cutting fossil fuel emissions is more urgent than ever.

he's one of the biggest, most-frequent liars in the world.
among other things, he said the same thing last summer, before becoming the largest-ever campaign donor in American history. Yet this post by Baker and the headline treats his statement as true.

don't print lies in the newspaper!

Judge says Trump lacked authority to dismantle U.S. Institute of Peace U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said President Donald Trump lacked the power to terminate without cause the board of the independent U.S. Institute of Peace.

Breaking news: A federal judge ruled the Trump administration exceeded its authority when it dismantled the U.S. Institute of Peace, an independent nonprofit created by Congress.

Microsoft said its recent layoffs impacting 6,000 employees (3% of staff) was due to flattening hierarchies by removing layers of managers. However data provided to the state of Washington shows most of those impacted were individual contributors.

The company’s words and actions aren’t matching up.

From the code example, surely you mean that the number (n) is the (only) input, not that there are n different inputs?
