@sampo I've been like this all day! (Tho I think it's largely appetite after recovering from a few days with a cold so I'm hungry b/c of that. I'm seriously lacking inspirational delicious things to eat in the house rn tho...)

One thing I'm wondering lately: one of my (home) servers seems to rack up the memory use slowly over time, growing slowly. Its essentially running three main/heavy services: mysqld, phabricator and httpd(apache). I'd love to know how/where to interrogate the system to understand more about memory-use-over-time to see just how/why in the initial state the memory use hovers at a certain level but then slowly climbs #mysql #archlinux #htop

@Cat I've been wondering what to do with my 2008 model Macbook also... currently just gathering dust still with OS X. OS X got far too heavy-weight for its hardware so it's a real drag, but also the battery no longer works without PSU and can't get replacement batteries for that model (thx a bunch, Apple mofos).

@Cat Yeah would be cool to find a use. I'd like to tbh. Could be a home-server but electricity use is a bit high compared to some other alternatives. idk :o

Is this a bad idea? I'm hosting a GIT Repo on a home server for dotfiles across my machines (two laptops, the server itself (in case config files change) and a second server). Previously I was syncing each device with a separate repo (important as some have v.distinct config files, e.g. .xinitrc) but now I've switched to just using branches off one repo. Is this a bad idea?#git #archlinux #RPI #RasPi

Extremely new to GIT so learning the etiquette/best practice as I go. But rn I'm thinking: as long as I just make sure I'm using the correct branch, and continue these branches indefinitely, this is fine, right?

@tomasino zero collaboration: these are only ever my machines. I just wanted to check in case I perhaps didn't understand branches. I mean I understand trees and from any tree I've ever seen I've never seen a branch return to the centre of the tree (which would be the only fear here) so based on that logic, if Git follows it, I believe i'm fine.I think I was just looking for external assurance (such as yours; so thank you!)

@tomasino Thanks so much for the reassurance! I'm glad to finally be using git. The more I look into it it does seem fascinating, particularly considered within its own historic context and the *need* for it to develop when it did as a VCS. Would quite like to master it in future.

@tomasino I downloaded that the other week. Looks like an epic undertaking in itself, but yeah maybe I'll see if I can crack on into it:)

@cosullivan zappa would have voter registration at his gigs. That was cool. He was a republican tho surprisingly...I love the album 'make a jazz noise here' which is largely a mixed set of recordings from tours.Childhood friends with Captain Beefheart - producer of Beefheart's Trout MASK Replica.

@Cat @nonlinear this is a big mood, I'm forever searching for the right rad name. Elected instead just to use multiple random naming and hop from one to another as time goes on. Seems to work OK actually...

I'm a total newbie re web design. I was wondering: is it such a bad idea to have a static website with no CMS (not even pelican)? If the site is just updated now-and-then so can be pushed to easily by git, etc.I haven't yet come across the 'best practice' for turning sites (HTML/CSS/JS) into something digestible by a CMS whilst retaining the design in this way (or is this actually possible/easy?) #webdesign #web #bootstrap #html #css

@tomasino you are an endless source of useful support and info, tomasino - thx so much for the reply! I also like how assuring you are re my own 'DIY' approach to these things. I often do them a certain way thinking to myself "I'm sure it can't be done like this in industry..." but likewise thinking "...but this solution seems the simplest and most effective for my needs" so I'm constantly a bit torn between those two tensions - but you help reassure me to keep it as simple as I need.
