Running containers for your dependencies during CI E2E tests in the background, without services

Announcing rbb (redis bootleg backup), a tool for backup up redis clusters with only client access. A tool for otherwise reasonable redis administrators backed into a corner and looking to jackhammer their way out.

A messy, real-life example E2E test case for an API I'm working on

If you're into Mithril, have I got the new shiny, experimental, component library for you!

I recently got a System76 Oryx Pro, and despite one initial hardware issue I'm very happy with it. Installing Arch was a breeze, System76's open source drivers were easy to install. Excited to start my long journey with my new daily driver.

Recently while working on a Java project in Emacs, I made some changes to the usual setup
