I am testing #copilot (claude opus 4.5) and am creating an #ansible role.
I start to get the distinct sensation that it would be faster for me not to use it. There is a lot of waiting, and there is a lot of tweaking afterwards, and it does tests poorly.
Also, I feel strangely alienated from my own code.
Is it just me, or does
#RogersCommunications have more major outages than the other major telecos in Canada? I may just be biased because my ISP
#Startca uses their infrastructure so i notice it more, but they do seem to go down across a broad region disturbingly often. Also wish start would make a Mastodon, or at least Bluesky account rather then solely one on the hellhole that Twitter has become.
@ash good luck! Bit of a learning curve, but you'll figure it out. You can move /home to your other drive by editing the fstab file in /etc (just be careful!). I'd recommend adding your other drive to the fstab as a separate mount point first, and just making sure it works, before changing the mount point to /home.
New strategy--I'm only deploying images to run qemu/libvirt anyway, and they're all based on cloud-init images from the distro provider (nothing too obscure going on here). There's literally no reason that I can think of why I need vagrant rather than just building an iso with a cloud-init config file and then using virt-install to spawn a bunch.
Well, turns out it's the debian/bookworm64 box. They even mention it in their documentation--although I feel it implies that you can switch to rsync (which I haven't been able to make work).
I know people love Debian, and I keep trying it wanting to love it myself. But I can't--every time I use it they've made some decision for me which isn't what I want. I'm being pushed more and more to team Redhat (or in this case, Alma).
. . . vagrant, I have `config.vm.syncedfolder` set to `type: "rsync"`. I have `config.nfs.functional = false`. I have `config.nfs.verify_installed = false`. Why are you still failing to create my VM because you can't find NFS on the host. I know. It's why I disabled it in the Vagrantfile.
I really want to understand Ansible and the love people have for it--but superficially just starting to learn it, I keep thinking "this would be easier as a bash script." I'm assuming Ansible scales better, but oh man am I just not "getting" it right now.
Man, it's getting hard to tell between cellular company cold calls and scammers. Whomever is doing the run around my region at the moment though needs to check their script, as I in no way sound like a "ma'am" at the point in my life. Going to assume it was a scam somehow, but then again, having an outsourced
#rogersmobile CSR tell me to go to hell for declining their offer isn't that outlandish anymore. I'm going to start answering the phone in French I think.
Vaguely ironic that the somewhat privacy-friendly Firefox setup I'm using seems to be making it impossible to login to the infosec matrix via Firefox, desktop Element, or Nheko. We'll see later if I'm motivated enough to figure if it's an issue with cookies across containers or something else.
Heat pumps are great! We should try to get heat pumps in most houses that can take them, they're way better than natural gas and oil, and somewhat better than electricity C furnaces. That said, if you're in an area that gets down to -40, you really should consider a centralized system to augment their output.
