That's not necessarily true. There is the raw module that executes a bare command. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/...

Yeah, but at that point you've lost a lot of the benefits to using ansible.

Ansible uses this module to configure devices where it is impossible to install python, like network devices, which is one of ansible's big strengths.

Coincidentally I had never heard of KanjiTalk until earlier this week when I stumbled across it on infinite mac.

https://infinitemac.org/1996/KanjiTalk%207.5.3

I'm the nerd that requested this be added to Infinite Mac, as there's a lot of great Japanese software. :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43607153

Wild. There was a Japanese port of Glider 4.0 to Japanese. (Sadly I have only the box and manual, no floppy. I am not sure I ever had it — be nice to find that rare binary out there.)

I have a demo of 4.06 that's probably Japanese. I'll check soon https://www.gingerbeardman.com/mmm/#Glider%204

If you ever find it, folks at https://68kmla.org should be able to help

Having ridden on busses countless times in SF, autonomous busses seem way off. The situations that busses have to navigate can be incredibly difficult, and the vehicle is not as nimble as a medium sized automobile. Still, improvements could be made for the autonomous busses, like giving it a dedicated lane like they did on Van Ness. At that point though, why not have a light rail? Autonomous train systems have existed for over three decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_train_syste...

I thought this was sarcasm, so I loaded the page, and yeah, that is an insanely fast cold load time, and even more impressive once the resources are cached.

I recently read a great article exploring what would change if they were to switch from processes to threads for each connection. Running a connection pooler didn't seem so bad to me after reading it. https://medium.com/@tusharmalhotra_81114/why-postgresql-choo...

I take personal pride in how many of my friends have online avatars that are candid portraits that I took of them while we were out doing whatever, and I have had numerous people contact me and ask me to remove all of their photos. In the past sometimes it was "replace my name in the tags with a pseudonym" but now it's "remove them all." This all happened before AI took over, so you can imagine how relieved many of those people are in the age of deepfakes. Candid portraits are my favorite kind of photo to take, but sadly in the modern age, I've chosen to take down almost all of my portraits. I still have a self-hosted photo sharing software set up that I personally use to look through my collection and can share past memories with people, including lots of portraits I would have previously posted online, but I think most people and I have our guard up against AI crawlers. AI crawlers have made the web much more hostile than it was in the past.

This is what I've been doing lately too. I've taken all apps off my phone that I spent significant amounts of time on. My phone is now something I use for a few minutes, and then stop using, with the exception of navigational apps and music. My goal was to return to pre-smartphone days where having a laptop or a desktop computer puts just enough friction in so that I don't habitually whip out my device and start scrolling or surfing when I feel bored.

Another part of this for me is not going to sites that have infinite scroll. This means that even on my laptop, I will not go to sites where I cannot finish consuming whatever content was there.

For sites like HN where there is a rotating front page, I have an RSS feed of the front page that refreshes infrequently so I can sample what was there without always needing to return to the front page to look for new content. Currently I have this set to 1 hour. This has been a decent mix between missing interesting content and having a feed that shows me way more articles than I can consume. My RSS reader is self-hosted at home, which means when I leave the house I am not tempted to use my phone to read that RSS content.
