Did I spend 90 minutes today adding random trips to my @viaduct_world account? Perhaps.
Will I get a cool #rail coverage map tomorrow? I surely hope so!
But this one is cool too.

A green partial railway map overlaid on map of Western and Central Poland. Around the major nodes of Poznań and Wrocław many green lines emerge radially. The railway lines south and north of Poznań are often criscrossed; further away they usually split into a few leaves. Some stations are marked (mostly major nodes and endpoints). The journeys reach the sea to the north and the western borders; they are also quite close to the southern border of PL. There are a few lone lines going eastwards.
@viaduct_world@mastodon.socialOhh cool! I knew about https://traewelling.de, but not about this, thanks!

New on blog: "How we incidentally uncovered a 7-year old bug in gentoo-ci"
"""
“Gentoo CI” is the service providing periodic linting for the Gentoo repository. It is a part of the Repository mirror and CI project that I’ve started in 2015. Of course, it all started as a temporary third-party solution, but it persisted, was integrated into Gentoo Infrastructure and grew organically into quite a monstrosity.
It’s imperfect in many ways. In particular, it has only some degree of error recovery and when things go wrong beyond that, it requires a manual fix. Often the “fix” is to stop mirroring a problematic repository. Over time, I’ve started having serious doubts about the project, and proposed sunsetting most of it.
Lately, things have been getting worse. What started as a minor change in behavior of Git triggered a whole cascade of failures, leading to me finally announcing the deadline for sunsetting the mirroring of third-party repositories, and starting ripping non-critical bits out of it. Interesting enough, this whole process led me to finally discover the root cause of most of these failures — a bug that has existed since the very early version of the code, but happened to be hidden by the hacky error recovery code. Here’s the story of it.
"""
I have the—perhaps incorrect—impression that the Gentoo project depends on a lot of custom (an sometimes legacy) software, and is suffering from decisions made decades ago...
Well, that and the fact that some components of it are incredibly complex (sob Portage <3 sob).
But maybe I'm missing the point here... -c-
@me, maybe. But then, so far every "established and externally managed" solution turned to complete utter shit (cf. GitHub).
Technically, there are alternatives like #Forgejo or #sourcehut, which tend to have most of GitH*b's features, but without the enshittification.
No idea if it'd be worthwhile to use them for Gentoo, though.
I've only used both for personal stuff, with the exception of hosting Forgejo for my group of friends.
I haven't been involved with Gentoo's infrastructure enough to tell :p
@me, sure, but there is always risk. If it's not enshittification, there's the risk of them going out of service, suffering DDoS or alike. But then, we are running our own risks too…
@whynothugo @me, we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources on our CI when we have the hardware at hand. Also, zero time to actually learn and set up a new CI. Also, it is very important for us that it's lightning fast.
we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources [...]Agreed. Both services I mentioned are designed to be self-hosted, which would be expected from any large project.
Furthermore, according to https://sourcehut.org/pricing/
All users who host projects on sr.ht are expected to pay according to their means [...]and
SourceHut is 100% open source. If you have your own infrastructure, you can run it yourself. Head over to installation docs to get started.CC: @whynothugo@fosstodon.org
@whynothugo, I was specifically thinking of Codeberg — but the general idea assumed we'd be running it on third-party hardware and not on our own.
It's such a small gesture but it speaks volumes about the community and the love the developers put into it.

Terminal output produced by the fortune(6) programme upon login to the FreeBSD operating system. The text says: "You can delete a range of ZFS snapshots (a-z) in multiple ways. The following will delete d and all earlier snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@%d To delete d and all later snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@d% To delete all dataset snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@% Make sure to let ZFS perform a dry run (-n option) first and display (-v) what it would do to confirm that the delete operation is removing exactly what you intended. -- Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org>," followed by the system prompt "`u@frost ~ %`." Huge thank you to Benedict for submitting these <3
