@forestjohnson yeah it's such a docker thing really...

NixOS solves this super easily, you can just use builtins.toFile <filename> <contents> which makes sure that string is available as a (config) file to the program you're running

@forestjohnson it's iffy for authentication in env variables (which are always iffy imo), but all software should print the rest of their config on startup tbh

I generally don't like the "computers suck" defeatism but tonight is a real "computers suck" evening

one thing I really hate about environment variables as config is there's no way the software will tell you you misstyped a variable name...

really annoyed though, setting up loki was going to be the one """productive""" thing I did today and even that didn't work out

@vy yeah im absolutely just going to write this as json, but I don't even understand what Loki wants from me
wtf is "cannot unmarshal !!map into []interface {}" this shit is so poorly documented

COVID Frustration 

Lots of people talking about the pandemic like it's over.

It's not.

If you have a kid under the age of 5? Still unprotected. Kids between 5 and 12 are just getting within a week of the second dose.

This. Is. Not. Over.

Look at the numbers in Europe. Watch the numbers in the states in the coming 2-3 weeks.

It will be a long winter.

This is NOT a bummer post. This is a reminder that we are NOT DONE.

STAY ALERT.

We released Synapse 1.47.1, a security update based on last week's release of Synapse, patching a high severity issue affecting Synapse installations 1.47.0 and earlier using the media repository.

Adminstrators, please update as soon as possible.

imagine every service having different config files in different formats instead of one consistent global system config that orchestrates everything
