In arguing about Macaulay Culkin's wrong opinion with @theladyfiasco, I have talked myself into the position that "Die Hard" is *more* of a Christmas movie than "Home Alone."

I’ve been following what Justin Searls has been doing with his blog for some time. He’s been leaning into the “POSSE” (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) philosophy more and more. In practice, this looks like building your own version of a single-serving social network on your own site and exposing RSS/Atom feeds to other services to consume. Justin recently released POSSE Party which makes this easier by cross-posting to various social networks. I’ve complained for a while about (anti)social networking so I’m always up for new ways to use social networking less.

I have been gainfully unemployed for exactly one year. Spending today exploring the north of New Zealand, then after Xmas seeing friends in Melbourne, finishing the year on a beach in Thailand. I wonder what 2026 will bring? A bit of FOSDEM for certain and we've got Interrail tickets booked. But *work*? Hmmm… we'll see!

New video on updating container images with Renovate. The demo uses the Renovate GitHub Action but pairs it with Octo-STS so you don't need to create a PAT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0hWRMtdUyI

I stumbled onto webrings and, for a moment, accidentally fell back into the OG internet

Stumbled across webrings this weekend; it was a little nostalgia trip into the weird, human-scale web I used to love <3 https://darylcecile.net/notes/rediscovering-the-internet

I've recently been using (again) @\renovatebot for keeping my demos up-to-date and I'm still amazed how good it works. ICYMI, please read Renovate, a Dependabot alternative https://blog.frankel.ch/renovate-alternative-dependabot/ #fromthearchives #devsecops #continuousintegration #build #github #gitlab

@andrewnez@mastodon.social nice! are you planning on doing the same for renovatebot PRs?

I want to see “handicapped play” for political debate where one side is directly impacted by the decision, and the other isn’t, but *is* opinionated. Something visible, like: always be touching your nose & hopping on one leg if the debate is over school lunches, but you went to a private school.

When it comes to Christmas movies, it's hard to beat Home Alone.

I maintain a sorta-popular open source package, and I want to prevent big corporations and "bad guys" from using it. I want feedback on how to do this.

Shocking everyone, that Black Friday sale that was DEFINITELY only available for a limited time at store XYZ, has now been EXTENDED! Better act fast!

Accidently referred to a pork pie as a "porked" pie and my mum said she doesn't want any of it.

Dependabot vs. Renovate: Dependency Update Tools

Every other Devopsdays in the world has some seriously stiff competition. Only Wollongong has given me an opportunity to hang out with QUOKKAS

"folx" appeals to the sickos-yes.jpg part of my brain that also enjoys censoring the wrong word of compound obscenities, i.e. cocks*cker, m*therfucker, but I realize this is socially unacceptable and I'm trying to quit
