Bon... Ce matin j'ai enlevé l'évier pour remplacer un carreau de céramique, puis j'en ai profité pour aller à la quincaillerie pour remplacer les pièces des drains qui fuyaient. J'en suis revenu avec un nouvel évier !!!

Reste plus qu'à retailer la céramique tout autour pour faire passer les attaches, et puisqu'il est plus profond refaire tout le drain en ABS 😅. Oh, et le carreau et ses trois voisins sont toujours à recoller... 😭

i've written a lot of software over my lifetime, and released the majority of it as free software, because i just wanted to be helpful.

there was no point in hoarding it, and releasing it as free software allowed for others to take it and do whatever they wanted with it. sometimes, they send their improvements back to me. great!

well, not so much with corporations. pkgconf, for example, is in basically *every* major corporation's toolchain.

to make pkgconf scale for these corporations, and their complex DAGs, we had to rewrite the solver. fine, i suppose. some of that work was even sponsored, which is nice.

but the reality is that there are a few utilities in this world that exist in the critical path of basically every corporation. tools like pkgconf, curl, etc. if these tools break because corporations use them in new ways, generally we don't get help with fixing them, but we are expected to.

this position is what leads to critical libraries like libxslt being abandoned, and the same maintainer adopting a laissez-faire security policy for libxml2.

Y a t-il seulement moi qui comprend que je devrais passer sur le trottoir au stop ??

#Montréal #signalisation #fail

I used `/proc/meminfo` as a demonstration, I could of course use `exec </proc/meminfo` and get away without the `eval` but the original script was processing output from `xstat_cm_test "$HOSTNAME" 2 -onceonly`, and I don't have any AFS cluster to test with at home 😅

I think I'm seriously going to reuse this for any awk script that parses output from a command, I could even pass arguments from the command line! 😎

Having some fun in #bash and #awk ...

```awk
#!/bin/bash
((0)) && / # / {
eval "exec < <(cat /proc/meminfo)"
eval exec awk -f "$0"
}
/^SwapCached:/ { SwapCached = $2 }
/^SwapTotal:/ { SwapTotal = $2 }
/^SwapFree:/ { SwapFree = $2 }
END {
SwapUsed = SwapTotal - SwapFree
print "Swap used percent: " ( SwapUsed ) * 100 / SwapTotal
print "Swap evct percect: " ( SwapUsed - SwapCached ) * 100 / SwapTotal
}
# vim: filetype=awk

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion.

You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

It's that time again! The systemd v258 release is coming closer. Let's restart the "what's new" series of posts for this iteration! Hence:

1️⃣ Here's the 1st post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v258 release of systemd. #systemd258

As most of you probably know "systemctl start" is how you manually start a systemd unit. Starting a unit can fail, and systemd tracks that for you and tells you this. When you encounter such a failure the next thing you'd typically do…
