I like to have also one Mac at home. It is pretty good for comparative testing e.g. with syscalls and also compiling ARM kernels (and testing them without having to use SBC's). To add, I don't want to focus on configuration when I make music and Linux is anyway my construction site. Nobody wants to spend 247 at work I guess :-)

I even had one Windows machine at some point but it required more maintaining than my other machines, NAS, network router etc. added together so I gave up on that... And Windows has also worst audio stack of the industry: the native one is pure garbage so there is proprietary ASIO stack that everyone uses from Steinberg, which results a trainwreck system overally.

Why people say that Linux audio sucks had nothing to do with kernel, it was just that low-latency audio was not well supported up until the uncrowned genius of multimedia Wim Taymans fixed the issue with Pipewire. Today in kernel/middleware level has hands down the best audio stack that there exists. I mean even in macOS you have to install 3rd party proprietary product called Loopback to be able to route audio like you can do with Pipewire.

this is more like workflow optimization than being geeky :-) pretty much same tools every single day and probably many years to come and dedicated computer for work.... also it is nice that if you ramp up a new system i can also deploy my desktop configuration along with other dotfiles fast.

In my work (or more like home office) desktop I started to use #sway (#i3 #wayland replica). Works for that really well, would not put it to my casual/studio desktop tho (which is mac mini anyway). i.e. you can use it make your console like you had your power plant or something :-) my friend tuomo.wrote the original #ion3 window manager, which influenced this and few others back in the day.

more direct ion3 derivative also continues to live on as https://notionwm.net/ and i've heard that there is also wayland replica of this.

@wamserma i give up for the time being and continue from this some day. without going to details got somewhere but still something is glitching :-)

for #thunderbird it would be a nice addon/feature if it could play the role of IMAP/SMTP server itself. and at the same time sort of "corporate safe" way to access. and (almost) zeroconf

@monsieuricon did you cc already btw? did not see anything but that said no rush. i had troubles to do a kernel tree to github :-) only way i managed to do that was to first fork linus' mirror and then push the delta from my tree but yeah i have a tree ready.

i stick to nasm because of incorrect terminology and no use for assembler as dso i guess. i would get multiarch support as a reason for rewrite but dso is not very interesting feature.

"Yasm currently supports the x86 and AMD64 instruction sets, accepts NASM and GAS assembler syntaxes"

I only know Intel and AT&T syntax, never heard of NASM and GAS syntax. I learned and enjoyed first Intel syntax with Borland Turbo Assembler when still using MS-DOS, and in adult age I have had to suffer from horrible AT&T syntax that kernel uses (and more widely many of the core'esque open source projects). I still have hard times with AT&T crap...

so yasm vs. nasm? :-) confusing, i was aware only of latter and that's what i've been using in the past (not very recently, mostly just gas).

@ssundell vähän ihmetytti se tossa keississä, että varoituksen saa, kun ei käytetä "talonpoikasjärkeä" vaan sen sijaan toimitaan ohjeiden mukaan... ja samasta syystä voi menettää vielä apulaiskaupunginjohtajan luottamuksen.

Do not know much about #oauth2 but I wonder if I could extract from #Thunderbird the login certificate and re-use that in #aerc?

@escape If you only deal with source code that is written with Rust then I guess there’s no issue because you need to anyway pass clippy but otherwise conventions can be varying. And as said getting .helix to every possible upstream project is not really a feasible solution for this tbh.

I’d wish helix also had a formatting action that can format text that it does not know syntax of, i.e. something that is not “treesitter-aware” such as this text I’m writing right now because I response dozens of emails each working day.

Not saying that helix is bad if it works for you. It is just not very capable at this point of time, if you need to contribute to upstream projects.
