[23:57:41] <chromas> so I was thinking of doing functions-as-a-service for april 1 but I guess it's a real thing already. dangit
[23:48:34] <chromas> is it al most april yet?
[23:48:02] <chromas> api.soylentnews.org/js/leftpad.js?string="Hello"&char=" "&length=42
[23:47:10] <chromas> no wait, each package will be an xml and/or json specifying a url and protocol for the actual service, so everything is hosted
[23:45:45] <chromas> it'll have a package repo like npm or pip, except it will mix languages and encourage packages to do so as well
[23:40:05] <chromas> Hm. new startup idea: Problems-as-a-Service
[23:38:12] <chromas> I find solutions to problems that I make for myself
[23:37:58] <chromas> I should become a web developer
[23:37:21] <chromas> but whatever command it uses for import, it says I need to use psql instead, so I gotta go use my keyboard like it's 1973
[23:36:39] <chromas> well that's basically what it does, but with a mouse
[23:36:22] <requerdanos> go go gadget mysqldump. just sayin.
[23:35:04] <chromas> but it also turns out cheating on the database management with DBeaver doesn't help because it can't import its own exports
[23:33:20] <chromas> it's the ol' XY problem. I'm running arch on the server, but major updates to postgres require manual export/import, so the fix of course is to containerize it!
[23:32:14] * chromas continues to make his network ever more unnecessarily complex

[22:55:02] -!- chromas has quit []
[22:32:17] <chromas> I keep ctrl-Xing to exit and it just deletes the current line
[22:31:40] <chromas> hm I just discovered the editor named micro, which I guess is bigger than nano and pico
[22:28:58] <systemd> Nah it's cool; I took over the initramfs too, so it's never too early
[22:28:05] <requerdanos> an init system joke? Too soon
[22:25:15] <systemd> Distro maintainers like my unit files because they're too dumb to learn how to write shell and just copypasted init scripts from each other without understanding what they did. Not my fault.
[22:21:51] <systemd> I can't help that devs are lazy and depend on my libs
[22:21:09] <systemd> Join me!
[22:20:57] -!- systemd [systemd!~systemd@pid1] has joined #soylent
[22:16:04] <chromas> butt on the plus side, we got pipewire out of it
[22:15:46] <chromas> abandon old thing, make new thing, declare old thing useless because it's not maintained
[22:15:23] <chromas> it's things all the way down
[22:15:17] <chromas> and if I IIRC correctly, maintained the thing that came before the thing
[22:14:24] <chromas> "well nobody's maintaining [thing that came before logind]"...meanwhile, the maintainer was the guy who made logind
[22:14:01] <chromas> I remember the logind situation
[22:13:46] <chromas> that's all everybody else's fault
[22:13:28] <drussell> Nobody seems willing to take the time to write workarounds for many, many things that are now systemd-centric. :(
[22:13:27] <chromas> I'm using systemd right now for nspawn :D
[22:13:03] <drussell> Many things still work, but many features are unavailable due to dependency on systemd...
[22:12:40] <drussell> If someone ever builds a time machine to go back and kill Hitler, be sure to stop by sometime on the way back and take out Lennart!
[22:12:32] <chromas> I can't think of anything that requires systemd to run. KDE can use it but as far as I know runs fine without it
[22:11:21] <drussell> Indeed. Pottering basically single-handedly caused dependency hell with virtually anything UNIX-like. The bastard!
[22:10:15] <chromas> no longer gnu+linux/x but systemd+linux/wayland smithers
[22:09:56] <chromas> it's all systemd now
[22:09:05] <drussell> (Not that I normally use Linux, I'm a BSD guy, but it causes difficulty porting things to BSD due to the infestation of Linux.)
[22:07:56] <drussell> ^^ Now if it would just quit infesting Linux! ;)
