the thing about having niche interests and a defined but constantly evolving ideolect is there’s a good chance that indexing your content will make indiscriminate large language models worse, not better

this is par for the course for me when it comes to chastity belt

tried listening to the new chastity belt and it just reminded me of a better album by a better band so i went and listened to that instead

@aschmitz oh i mean i would never give access to anyone i didn’t trust OR put anything sensitive on the server ever OR have any kind of uptime or reliability guarantees, if i were to ever do this, to be clear

for my own purposes, i just run make locally and then rsync. but i think that’s a tiny bit too unstructured to be a shared workflow

i think proper CI/CD pipelines with gitea/forgejo/gitlab/github etc are Fine, but wasteful, and also best to do on their infrastructure and not on a friend’s

i have some good makefiles you can use; this gets you a lot

i think what i actually want is :⁠—

• A GitWeb instance

• A number of users which only have git access, and only to repositories they own

• A straightforward means of getting new repositories (and corresponding subdomains) allocated to users [this can probably just be manual, on request]

• A post-receive hook in every repository which, if the repository has a file named Makefile or GNUmakefile, clones the repository and then runs `make install DESTDIR=public`, serving the contents of the resulting `public` directory from a corresponding subdomain

• Maybe a small amount of allowable additional server configurations besides

i don’t want to operate a tilde town, but i do think all of my friends should have a server they can rsync files to and have them appear on the web

apparently i can process a .5MB TSV with xsltproc extremely quickly with no problems

this xml file is going to end up like half a megabyte and i have a dayjob

@aescling @Satsuma (kartana is same boat, grass fast attack, so really there are only two good bug pokémon)

@aescling @Satsuma no it just learns megahorn and has enough stats to compensate the lack of STAB

no bug fast attack tho, so not ideal

@Satsuma @aescling the only bug attackers with a score above 30 are volcarona, pheromosa, kartana, and xerneas yea

@aescling no cat, sneasler isn’t good, the other pokémon are just bad

@alyssa i think the real problem might be less the pokémon and more the moves; they should make better bug moves and let the bug pokémon use them

@alyssa they should reflect this in the game mechanics and Yet

niantic add Any good bug or poison pokémon to pogo challenge

@aschmitz i am very disappointed in the state of XML parsers as well :Eevee_awkward:
