We think a lot about optimising CLI UI output for humans - but humans output can complicate matters for parsing by tools like LLMs

I been experimenting with the CLI switching to a LLM format when needed - ie. Markdown

I really enjoyed what R.I. Pienaar is doing with choria-cm.dev and building Config Mgmt system. It's using some existing experience from previous systems, like Puppet but most importantly keeping it simple and extensible. 🚀

This is a great example of the evolution of #NATSio implementations, from simple stateless use to JetStream persistence and work queues.

Thank you @systeminit.com for trusting NATS and Synadia 🥰

Wife got a Cricut maker machine, and wow its the walliest walled garden imaginable.

If you make a design in its tool the only way to get it out is via screenshots of each layer and using Inkscape to trace the layers to SVG

The Iron only works if you activate it in the app etc. Wow.

You can append "/rss" to any #Bluesky profile url to get an #RSS feed of that user.

For example, if I do this with my friend @mentat.za.net 's bluesky url, I get bsky.app/profile/ment... - this will forward to bsky.app/profile/did:... which I can subscribe to using any RSS feed reader!

This kept me from using Bluesky for a long time. You can't change this on the default client, but I know that Skeets has a setting for loading new skeets above that should give you the behaviour your after. I'm really hoping this comes to more clients soon.

I dont even think most people would mind a statement along the lines of spelling out its purely about money - honesty matters, this is just "we think you're too dump to see through our bullshit" level of statement.

Alpha community package availability Well, I’ve got some great news for you. Thanks to hard work by a few volunteers, we have alpha community-built packages up and the starts of a download mirror list, which you can find on the new “down...

There are now first community built packages here overlookinfratech.com/2024/11/13/f...
