My house burned down right after building my first raid array. It hadn’t even been put into use. The plan was to move all the data from assorted servers, desktops and laptops in my house to the array THEN backup that volume to something offsite. /sigh

The funny thing is agg. battery is a felony in Illinois which means he would lose his right to vote.
Yes, it is huge in the history of Palestine since the UN partition plan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/UN_Palestine_Partition_Versions_1947.jpg (note that the city of Jerusalem was given to neither side) I would wager that “after the fall” of Jerusalem, Bibi turned his head towards Gaza to “finish the job”. Golan Heights/Lebanon will be an ongoing genocide beyond Bibi’s and even our lifetimes.
Etcher itself has advertisements for https://www.balena.io/ products while your USB drive is being written.
Not all linux systems are running a desktop GUI, for example…most servers. /edit to add or expand/ I use Etcher on my laptop but I use the command line with my server in the closet…plug in the USB, go back to my laptop and do everything remotely.
Also, as a linux user/admin for 25+ years I’ve seen these apps come and go. Inevitably the app gains so much popularity that the dev wants some money for it… so they add advertising to the app. Then some other app comes along to replace it, rinse and repeat indefinitely. If your shell commands are POSIX-compliant, they’ll last for decades or more.
which will suppress this warning
“I’m going to be annoying you until you do something about it” It is recommending that you take some sort of action, that choice is up to you as the user. In fact, the older way of disabling the warning was called
advice.defaultBranchNameAFAIK git is still Linus Trovalds’ project and one thing he is known for is “you dont fuckin break user space”. That is acknowledged in the pull request https://github.com/git/git/pull/921
“will minimize disruption for Git’s users and will include appropriate deprecation periods”.
Linus is also a fuck-your-feelings kind of guy so deprecation_period == linus_date_of_death. No, I’m not implying Linus is racist/bigot, just that he feels that strongly about breaking user experience.
Git in of itself doesn’t give a shit about.
You’re right…and that’s why its unbelievable to me how some people are still (it has been nearly 4 years since that PR above) resistant to change this one little thing. This is just the initial branch that we’re talking about here. Git doesn’t care if you:
git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/xxxxxx/tmp/.git/ touch foo && git add foo && git commit -am "foo" [main (root-commit) 9c74dd1] foo 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 foo git branch -a * main git checkout -b bar Switched to a new branch 'bar' git branch -d main Deleted branch main (was 9c74dd1). git branch -a * bar git log commit 9c74dd18d493fec727e6ce9e4ba71ed356dd970d (HEAD -> bar) Author: Butters Date: Thu Aug 22 00:14:44 2024 -0400 foo
I just used the most popular/known example. Personally I haven’t liked GitHub since Micro$oft bought them. I’m ol’ school, 25 years in the biz so M$ really really leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth.
I’ll answer your other question in the other thread.
…but recommended to be changed every. single. time. you git init. https://lemmy.world/comment/11895670
No shit? Let me guess; you’re still using git like Linus intended it to be, decentralized, by emailing each other tar.gz’s
…which you get a multiline message telling you to change your ways (Linus doesn’t break UX)…every time you init…weird.
$ git init hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call: hint: hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name> hint: hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command: hint: hint: git branch -m <name>

unfair treatment.
We’re talking about slavery here.
sick of having to relabel
It’s not that hard…to be accommodating.
divorced from the social issues
from your point of view
the code doesn’t care
You’re right. Call it a controller and agent. I know naming is hard, but we’re smart enough to apply our lexicon.
never use the words master or slave ever again? What’s next??
Ah, the slippery slope fallacy.
We still use master over main
The default for new repositories on GitHub has been main for awhile now. You would have had to put in effort to change it to something else. You’re a stick in the mud.

Check out Anonymous Pro. Same spacing between words and distinguishable letters (I fuckin hate Il1 or 0Oo) but a bit smaller kerning (space between letters). https://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro It’s intended for programmers, just like Source Code.
I definitely appreciate your words and completely understand what you’re saying. I finished reading your blog and like your “raw” perspective. You should update it with an “where I’ve been, where I am and where I’m going” post. It feels like a short story, over the span of several years, but you have a bit of a cliff hanger there 😉
I had a bunch of other stuff written but I removed it because it was scatter-brained and all over the place. I may in fact reach out to you for conversation. While our bearings might not be the same, I think there’s a lot to learn and I like your style.
After 25 years in tech I’m starting to look for my “out”. I have a ton of experience with electrical (signals/rf too), plumbing, mechanical, woodworking, finishing, engines, etc There isn’t much I can’t fix. As far as nautical experience goes, I’m a novice but I recently went through a small boat certification course and planning on being a “trailer sailor” for a couple years or more to build up experience. I grew up near Charleston SC harbor, and I think the ocean is calling me back.
A couple of questions; how do you find work or how does work find you? Do you have a home base where your tools are located or are you doing these jobs in “random” ports you travel to? (You can message me if you don’t want to share your industry secrets publicly 😉 )
/edit Found your blog so I got some reading to do.
Ear diapers.
Alternatively, you may run the projects using the Docker warrior instance without the VM appliance. For further info, see our GitHub repository for Readme instructions. If you have any issues or feedback, chat on #warrior on hackint.
Learning a programming language , is pretty simple (didnt say it was easy)…its memorization. Maybe less so now with the advent of things like Copilot/AI assistants.
Understanding what you’re trying to accomplish is possibly the harder part. I would rephrase your statement: “I want to learn how to build an application”. For this you can butter toast…with instructions.
Pretend there are two people, one is the instructor and one is the toaster/butterer. There is a wall between them so one cant see what the other is doing and the end result is buttered toast. There are a couple resources; bread, butter, knife, toaster, plate.
1st attempt the instructor says: Pick up bread, put it in toaster, take out bread and put on butter. Result: Untoasted bread, butter on hands
2nd attempt the instructor says: Pick up bread, put in toaster, push switch down to toast, take out bread and use knife to put on butter. Result: Loaf of untoasted (did you check if toaster is plugged in?)bread with butter on both sides sitting on the counter (remember the plate?).
See how specific you have to be about certain things? I would call this functional programming. Object oriented program takes it a bit farther in that the toaster is now classified with things like; browness level, electricity/plug state, slice/bay current occupancy, toast switch etc.
