Anyone running a #Forgejo v14? I want to play with the new OIDC Actions stuff, but neither codeberg, code.forgejo, nor git.gay have it.

i'll speak on this specifically:
indiscriminate use is a relic of a time when technologists held an idealistic view of social and power dynamcis, when we thought that everyone could get along and we just needed more acceptance.
It turns out, though, that antisocial people exist.

I was under the impression that PyCon US was a major fund raiser, which means net that PyCon paid for the PSF.

Ok, what does it mean for AI to "consume" water? Where exactly does it go?
Presumably for cooling, but shouldn't those be closed systems with minimal inputs?
If it's been run through a bunch of computers, is it no longer fit for human consumption?

they do have strongly encouraged 2fa.

Are there any period-tracking apps suitable for trans women (or non-bleeding periods generally)?
Distinctly, are there any open source period-tracking apps?

Maybe it's a server distribution thing

My only critique of the use of "genocide" is that we're not a "a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
Otherwise, it ticks all the boxes (if you take "preventing births" metaphorically)

@npub1wvv…h8te and I are happy to start teasing our newest project: Teahouse
https://teahouse.cafe/
To put it plainly, web hosting. Static hosting for normies. All the benefits of modern web development to those that don't have a clue.
Or, a love letter to our fellow web weirdos (affectionate).
We hope to launch phase 1 in the next six months. Stay tuned!

Today in Python, I'm going to do dynamic class and metaclass stuff. It's going to be hilarious shenanigans.
But I'm having to be really clever, because:
* I want to avoid redundant-feeling declarations (registration decorator and required fields parent class)
* attrs might replace the class with a changeling
* I want static analysis to keep working
So far, I think I need a custom property descriptor, a metaclass, and some dynamic subclassing to make it work.

I'm looking at a 70k job posting, and I know it's low, I haven't worked for so little since 2017.
But how picky can I be?
How does the expectation change if it's fully remote?
How about if the company has a Southern California PO Box?

Wow, working some big valley tech jobs has really left me lost as for salary expectations

Time for a fresh #GetFediHired
I'm a hybrid software dev and DevOps/SRE/idk what they're called.
My last gig was standing up a startup's entire infrastructure--production, pipelines, and all.
Before that, I was a tech lead for an internal service--frontend, backend, and pager holding.
Primarily Python, some JavaScript, and a bunch of other stuff in between.
Only remote, US Eastern

I wish there was a way for us to secretly share locations.
Like, I as a person don't know where you are, but I can say "I'll be in Chicago this weekend" and everyone in that ballpark gets told.

What's the HTTP status for "I've flagged you as a bad actor. Go away."?
