Linux kernel hacker and maintainer etc.

OpenPGP: 3AB05486C7752FE1

@ljs apparently it has this:

-o FILE
           Export all necessary information to FILE instead of opening the browser interface. If
           FILE is "-", the data is written to standard output.  See the examples section below
           for some handy use cases.

meaning that probably the maintainer does not get upset of submitting patches enabling e.g. JSON output json-c, I’d suppose…

@ljs ace! yeah same feeling. i'm so used to seeing these type of "space lenses" as GUI applications that with my limited creativity could not imagine this. did not know that i needed this handy little tool desperately :-)

@ljs no idea i literally spotted this few hours ago. even as just ncurses gui it is gold tho :-) have to get better acquainted with the project.

@ljs this is also useful for kernel testing, CI stuff and alike. I wonder if it could publish the data in structured formats (json et al). have to check at some point.

@zethtren I don't really know anything about where trends and hype is at either :-) I just see bunch of useful applications with emphasis on modernising legacy C software (thanks to robust FFI) and also anything where executable size is critical it seems to have its edge...

@zethtren thanks for the remark! there's other things also that i like, e.g. fine grain control to memory policy. it allows to easily at least mitigate from memory allocation failures, which requires effort in Rust. and I like the way FFI works in zig. that said, not real experience with the language but i think it does deserve its existence :-) it would be interesting see how those ideas mature over time...

this why i got #sitala, for archiving without issues of finding samples. #audio #musicproduction

i hope #zig will be sustainable. i like its way more than #rust. and like in C or even RISC-V microarchitecture, but not so much in Rust and C++, the language definition is compact enough so that it just stick into your head. also, comptime is really cool invention in my opinion. #C #rustlang #riscv

i got more interested on #clap #audio #plugin format as i realized that the SDK is usable with plain C :-) pretty trivial to start experimenting too nice work

@cbleslie dude, you are throwing adjectives as an argument just saying :-) i've tried it, even used a bit professionally, have found uses for it, in other places i don't like it (e.g. in my desktop). there's zero argument here, right?

I know what NixOS's selling points but I just don't like it in the host. And I neither like that there is a declaration/specification that is defined by a community that I'm not involved with to getting in the way. I get it for autonomous nodes, like a data center or something. Does not fit to my workflow or how I work. Great that there are options, right?

@IslandUsurper I use Nix in remote shells with nix-user-chroot :-) So not really trying to put these three great tools in order. For whatever I do I just take the shortest and easiest path, no ideology here tbh :-)

I’ve found #ubuntu #multipass to be sweet-spot for me for creating #development environments, meaning environments with toolchains, project specific assets and stuff like that.

Like if I spin up a new project or whatever, I just:

multipass launch \
	--name project \
	--cpus 4 \
	--memory 8G \
	--disk 100G \
	--bridged \
	23.10
multipass exec project -- yes '' | ssh-keygen -t ed25519
multipass exec project -- cat .ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Totally get #Podman and #Nix but learning them only to do this would be a total overkill…

@oathboundFamiliar @spinach traditional version of this "code of conduct" is that you should look into eye when you meet a new person, associate or whatever. i somewhat get this version, not the serial killer-version really. :-) i mean when you greet that person not continuing to stare like a maniac after that...

fun related fact is that quite many table manners etc, which are recommended still today, inherit from royal courts of the old days, and their function was being security protocols. this way it was possible to mitigate the risk for murdering the ruler with a knife or other weapon at hand :-) not a joke

@monsieuricon @oathboundFamiliar@akko.elysium i fully get what you are saying with the attenuation factor that sometimes there can be language barriers and cultural differences can cause some misinterpretation :-)
