How is a person supposed to read all of stty's settings on Ubuntu 26? `man stty` shows uutils's man page, which is almost empty unlike GNU coreutils'. Certainly not my first issue with this... I think the rollout of uutils is reckless and premature...

Using CPAN is so wild. I can't seem to do anything without installing a bunch of random modules: Term::ReadKey, Term::ReadLine::Perl, CPAN::DistnameInfo, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS!

Does NPM no longer allow for using an authenticator app as a 2FA method??? I just cancelled my existing one to replace it immediately (old phone broke), but now I'm not sure what to do... If there is a short cooldown period, I should know about it.

Screenshot of npmjs.com website showing "security key" as the only 2FA method.

Am I imagining things or was GitKraken from 10 years ago so much higher quality? I don't remember it being an electron app and having many of those bugs associated with being an electron app. The UI and UX also have a lot of paper cuts.

I'm completely baffled and utterly flabbergasted by Ubuntu's decision to replace GNU coreutils and sudo with Rust equivalents. I understand that 25.10 isn't an LTS release, but I expect things to be more polished. 😬 Right off the bat, I'm hit with bugs for their version of `mktemp` and `sudo`:

Image of running "mktemp -d --suffix -dotfiles" and "sudo -v". First, mktemp does not recognize the suffix that starts with a hyphen. Second, sudo does not recognize the "admin_flag" setting.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell

Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

80% complete. Just have to finish the right side & add the stars! ✨ Also, my Cassiopeia A painting is done being photographed, so I’ll be ordering test prints on Monday. Trying to finish the year off strong with lots of awesome art!

long rectangular canvas on an easel. The painting is a nebula with a lavender background fading into pink and orange (from left to right). In the middle is a dense spire with more browns and oranges.

I just ran the Jest test suite with Jest, and I'm kind of surprised that it told me in seconds - 477 to be exact. Sort of expected the default to be human readable, maybe there is a rational for that decision somewhere

Today I accidentally clicked on a vercel.com link... _Immediately_ my fans roar to life and somehow my the soundtrack I'm listening to skips and lags. Apparently the Linux process scheduler thinks rendering the Vercel website is more important than PipeWire... ? Has anyone else experienced this??

Was really excited to try out @solidjs.com, but devastated to learn that SSR w/out Babel isn't possible h & html assume browser env. packages under `dom-expressions` seemed to be _exactly_ what I was looking for, but that requires browser env as well. github.com/ryansolid/do...

SSR Runtime for `hyper` and `lit` · Issue #148 · ryansolid/dom-expressions

As the title says. Currently hyper and lit only run on browser runtime, so if one were to use these on server-side, users aren't able to use SSR API from dom-expressions
