Seven Raspberry Pi 4's and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile "shelves" inside some IKEA furniture.

Ho ho ho

There it is! Thank you! It's a process owned by root called kworker/0:0+kacpid. Any idea what that is?

[Edit 1] Interestingly, I can't even kill -9 it.

[Edit 2] With kworker kacpid to work with, I did a quick search and found this SO page that has some interesting information that I only partially understand, but the following worked like a charm:

# grep -Ev "^[ ]*0" /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe?? | sort --field-separator=: --key=2 --numeric --reverse | head -1
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe09:11131050     STS enabled      unmasked
# echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe09

It's not clear to me what an interrupt is or whether this gpe09 value is meant to be persistent across reboots, or why this only seems to be happening in the last couple months, but if I can make it go away by running the above from time to time, I guess it's alright?

I think what he's missing is that he's approaching the question of "how do I make these people care?" from a liberal position. It just seems like such a weird question to even ask someone who cares about others by default.

If you think of it from the perspective of a self-centred conservative though, you can ask the question as "how can I frame the pain of others as their problem?"

Try talking about solutions in a way that affects them personally:

  • You want transit and bike lanes 'cause nothing reduces traffic other than viable alternatives to driving. Get those other people off the road so you can drive.
  • You want to stop sending weapons to Israel because we're spending your money on weapons for their war.
  • You want to divest from fossil fuels because renewables have better energy security. Your costs don't go up whenever those people start a war over there.
  • You want high taxes on the rich because they're festering parasites sleeping on a pile of gold and we want to spend that money on the poor so they aren't so desperate that they steal your shit.

These people do not (cannot?) care about how many children are killed by our bombs or about the fate of some bird, so constantly appealing to emotional arguments meant for liberals will never work on them.

Just use Firefox already.

Public services aren't meant to be profitable. They're meant to provide a service that serves the community.

There have been some great answers on this so far, but I want to highlight my favourite part of Docker: the disposability.

When you have a running Docker container, you can hop in, fuck about with files, break stuff as you try to figure something out, and then kill the container and all of the mess you've created is gone. Now tweak your config and spin up a fresh one exactly the way you need it.

You've been running a service for 6 months and there's a new upgrade. Delete your instance and just start up the new one. Worried that there might be some cruft left over from before? Don't be! Every new instance is a clean slate. Regular, reproducible deployments are the norm now.

As a developer it's even better: the thing you develop locally is identical to the thing that's built, tested, and deployed in CI.

I <3 Docker!

Ubuntu. They've managed the worst of both worlds: like Debian, everything is old (though admittedly not as old), but unlike Debian, everything is broken/buggy/flakey. It's the old-and-busted distro that I'm routinely told is "the only Linux we support".

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

You should really take your own advice on this one. That "article" was juvenile.

There's a conversation going on in that Mastodon thread where one dude is proposing a static site fueled by a fact-checked list, but that's the only thing I've seen other than BDS.

As a Canadian expat, these sorts of surveys are an embarrassment. Canada is not that great. It has some good things going for it, but "second best in the world" is a laughable statement.

  • The wealth disparity is terrible
  • Nearly every inhabited patch of land is a suburban hellscape.
  • The government is routinely dedicated to accomplishing as little as possible, especially on climate
  • The fossil fuel lobby is embarrassingly strong
  • The cost of living is extreme for many, with little effort to reign it in
  • The country suffers from an inferiority complex in relation to the US of all places.
  • The electoral system is broken

I mean, I love my country, but I've seen a lot of places that I'd rather live. The idea that we're 2nd best compared to even half of the countries I've visited in the last 10 years is just silly.
