linux devs are great

i think the thing i dislike most about the "anti-systemd" crowd is that such a big chunk of them have such bad reasons for disliking systemd and are so bad at articulating them that they cause most sensible people to just ignore most systemd criticism all together. even the rightful criticisms

yk if i had the time to champion a KDE goal id probably submit this as a goal. of the major gripes i have with plasma this is probably one of the easier ones to deal with technically and somehow doesnt see that much attention from KDE at large?

kinda annoying permanently grappling with the unfair broken tgirl experience of losing out on your childhood yet simultaneously never feeling like you've ever grown up into an adult

yk the more i think about it the less sense putting at-uris in records makes to me. most (URNs being the main exception) URIs/URLs are primarily for human use. its a more human friendly way to describe a particular structure of some reference. but records are generally not for direct human viewing

ran the desktop part twice and it killed off plasma against weird contestants both times (and killed off cosmic against lxqt??) so that parts not fitting my actual choices that well. but the distro part is pretty spot on! ive said before that if not for nixos id probably be on fedora kinoite so

nicole is so autism

🦀 first basic prototype for the diff viewer on crates.io seems to work as planned 😍 and the regular code viewer is now publicly released :) #rustlang

🦀 I did another thing... what do you think? 😄 Code viewer right inside of crates.io that shows the uploaded files ✨ It's still a prototype, but once I've cleaned it up I'll open a PR. Diff viewer next? 🙀 #rustlang

sometimes things happen that remind me just how much of a fucking mess i am still. jesus fuck this is a good show. but also jesus fuck that was a hell of a meltdown

tbh? biggest annoyance with lanzaboote is that they call their stub images UKIs even though they arent. theyre close to being and offer many similar properties, but for nixos reasons they arent. the fact that its not a true UKI is like- the whole reason lanzaboote exists and is cool

wait what nixos pr sponsored by doctors without borders?? thats wild. nixos truly does fix things enough that people who really really need stuff that works and is replicable opt to use it

yk this is the kinda shit that makes me want to do computing history stuff. so many little unknown actors that have ended up forming really core piece of how modern infrastructure works

where *did* the names /usr and /var/lib even come from? /var/lib is a data directory has nothing to do with libraries and /usr is generally speaking for the vendor supplied stuff so basically the opposite of user (ik /usr is technically originally for stuff that can be shared across systems but bwa)

sitting with feet in cold water cause its so fucking hot

til w social client became closed source; a lil concerning since some high level eu officials moved to w instead of eurosky, might be the start of a "big tech but eu" trend from W Social, Public Institutions and the Theater of European Digital Sovereignty by @elenarossini.com

*sigh* knew i was right to have a bad gut feel about W

just found out the zed flatpak is implemented to (by default) literally just call the flatpak portal to escape the sandbox by spawning itself on the host system. thats such a hilariously stupid way of getting around the limitations of being sandboxed also means that the flatpak promise of working

there are so many small additional things i want to add on to this but i think the biggest one is that this isnt just a question of avoiding wasting resources. its a question of whether the general populace of the world can run your software at all or not. far too many programmers seem to

I put pencil to paper and wrote something about programming! Please read it, perhaps I will inspire or enrage you pckt.blog/b/oyster/pra...

plasma is great. i quite love it. but jesus fuck the config situation is *awful*. three bajahillion config files dumped in ~/.config some that seemingly do the same thing but wildly differently. what the deifference between kglobalshortcutsrc and khotkeysrc? who the fuck knows! you figure it out!

alr peeps. whats yalls terminal emulator recs? im decently fine on kitty but it has some ... annoyances. alacritty is pretty close to perfect if not for the fact that it doesnt have ligature support. in order of importance: minimal, supports ligatures, lets me set font with a path instead of name

oh so thats why my zellij thingy doesnt always work ... --layout just straight up does nothing in zellij if the config dir doesnt exist and config is instead passed with --config ... thats ... great ... i should probably dig through the issues and make sure thats reported bweh

god phantom columbina messing around in the background, swaying or kicking her feet, poking at sandorne, climbing walls to look at birds, fucking hell shes adorable

every so often i see people using flake inputs to fetch package deps or sources and it hurts a lil. thats not what its foooooor. the flake is your *nix* entrypoint. its a combo between a cargo.toml and main.rs. flake inputs is the cargo.toml part. it specifies *nix* dependencies of your *nix* code

okay so uh as i keep reading im seeing that this is basically always what a TMB ends up looking like when DPoP is used? as far as i can tell at least. which means in theory just using a TMB would achieve a confidential session that neither the frontend or TMB can use on their own but can together

idk what it is about oauth that makes finding the right spec for something always end up like this

wonder how oauth in practice will be impacted by PQC. given we have like 3 different keys floating about for many confidential oauth clients. and with DPoP on of em is on every single request with its big ML-DSA signatures. idk how bad it will be since for many API reqs its not that much bigger 🤷‍♀️

ref pds account page got a much needed update which is great but it still seems to only show sessions with an active access token which is still very much not great ...

wait no wouldnt keeping the DPoP key only on the frontend largely achieve this? not that thats easy either ... would need some kinda system for the frontend to give the backend a DPoP proof when refreshing an access token but like. i think it could work?

toki pona is like the "i use arch btw" of conlangs

the fact that a single person can have so much influence on a subculture that the phrase "im a bit excited" has such a distinctive meaning in the right circles is honestly beautiful

btw if you havent see this video before watch it. just watch it. its beautiful its been a favourite of mine for a while. especially if you usually dont like maths. watch it.

hmmm i wonder if we can figure out a way to make a confidential atproto oauth client split between a browser frontend and something like a TMB or BFF backend but done in such a way that either half cant actually use the session without cooperating with the other. that would make it both confidental

the speed of light is 1

as an addendum to this in case it wasnt clear: yes that means im of the opinion that if youre making a nix package repo you should absolutely expose some sort of package constructor function. thats a much better alternative to an overlay that still avoids the "1000 instances of nixpkgs" issue

another nix one because im going to indoctrinate you all dont worry

i have like a basic bitch vroid one i made a while ago but yk thats not as fun as a fun one i made myself

what if i learned blender just to make myself a 3d avatar for snek studio and become a vtuber

Would be a fun dynamic where there are three switches and person A is the sub of B, B is the sub of C and C is the sub of A.

im enjoying writing out some shorter design and concept think pieces now that i currently dont have time to do much else atproto and IPFS! nice pairing i think. or at least it could be if we can iron out pinning stuff properly

far from completely setuid-less but thats all the easy ones gone tangled.org/nel.pet/cycl...

hmmm maybe i should try making my nixos config have no setuid/setgid binaries

i kid you not ive been looking for my 3DS charging cable for like. a year or more. and i just randomly found it in my cable drawer cause my dad asked for a cable ...

i know i'm preaching to the choir here, but it's absolutely fucking tragic that ATproto has given us an extremely powerful way to build independent social media, but the developers behind the Flagship App™ have fucked its reputation beyond recovery for all but the nerdiest nerds
