    @b0rk figuring out where a git config is being picked up from, given there's system, global, and local sources. Having to run `git config get` 3 times is not fun!

    Git on macOS (might be a Homebrew thing) has git-credential-osxkeychain hardcoded as a default credential helper and I had a bear of a time figuring out how to fully replace it with git-credential-oauth.

    This was the first time I experimented with writing a stream of consciousness outline first instead of trying write something blog-quality start to finish and it was definitely a much better experience. I was able to turn this around pretty quickly and I feel the content came together much easier. Will definitely be experimenting more with this method.

    Ugh having to figure out a Mastodon migration is so annoying. The fact that none of your posts carry over is frustrating, and the only solution to that being "run your own Mastodon instance" is not particularly helpful.

    @DiWoWo @Edent @fdroidorg F-Droid always builds their own APKs from developer-provided source code and signs it with their own key, Google Play is not involved in the process.

    The likelier explanation is that F-Droid's auto update machinery has not re-checked this package in a while or there's been a regression in the ability to check for updates against Sourceforge hosted Git repositories.

    #Oracle seems to have silently changed its free tier from 4 Ampere vCPUs w/ 24 gigs of RAM to 2 vCPUs and 12 gigs of RAM without any communication sent to the users of that free tier. If you have an existing instance running that's above the new limits they just terminate it for free accounts and bill you if it's a PAYG one. Feels pretty slimy to be doing this quietly when it can result in data loss, but I suppose non-paying customers are worthless to them anyway.

    @neil @michal I've been struggling with the feeling of being overwhelmed by RSS, and discovering that the problem has been the unread count.

    I categorize very meticulously so news/high volume feeds end up in their own category, but they still contribute to that single unread count and make the "backlog" look significantly more unapproachable than it really was.

    I'm actually gonna go write a blog post right now about how I overcame this :D

    Let Codex/GPT-5.4 take a crack at this and the feature works but the code is so garbage... Feels irresponsible to compromise on code quality when this project only came to exist because I wanted to learn Compose/WorkManager/Glance and much more by hand. Gonna throw away everything except the `api/` folder and churn out some artisanal handwritten slop instead.

    Suffering from success in my @lobsters app because now that I offer the ability to log in, obviously the local-only ability to block tags gets overridden by the server-side filtering options so I unblock a tag from the app and still don't see the posts since I also blocked it on the site.

    Going to work through syncing tag blocks in the app but I also had the ability to do timebound blocks which lobsters doesn't, so maybe that's like my one leg up over the mobile site :'D

    @whitequark pretty sure Spring has been generating executable JARs for a while (the docs seem to agree docs.spring.io/spring-boot/spe) so running `./gradlew assemble` should give you one somewhere inside `<module>/build/outputs`.

    I haven't worked with Spring in a bit so I'm fuzzy on the details, let me know if you can't find it there and I'll set up one of their templates to check.

    I tried using a diff-filter with chafa (hpjansson.org/chafa/) but that didn't seem to work when trying to use the Kitty graphics protocol and just showed me the text representation of the commands being issued to the terminal.

    @dotstdy @seanmonstar that's why it's a pedantic lint :P

    I'm also a frequent violator of `too_many_arguments` who still runs `clippy -Wclippy::pedantic` so I don't really think it's that big a deal to annotate the 1 or 2 configuration structs to ignore the lint.

    In some months we can probably run github.com/dtolnay/noisy-clippy and figure out how the broader community feels about it.
