@deletescape@notbird.site there was a great flag at the protest on Sunday as well

petition to stop making petitions and do direct action instead

@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.
