I will present Mirror Hall for the first time at #FOSDEM next month [1], and wrote a guide on how to develop similar home-grown desktop streamer solutions last month [2].

There's only a couple of weekends until then for small improvements to the app, so if you have any particular wishes let me know! 🪄

A small announcement from me that I am now officially able to spend a lot more of my time working on Linux kernel maintainer support duties. It's not a "change of hats," but I will be able to spend a lot more time wearing my maintainer support hat on this year!

How today started: "ah, time for the easy bit of this library, open a unix socket and talk with the codec I've written"

How today is going: posix spec open on one screen, manpages on another, linux kernel source code front and center. One of these three is lying, and by Jove I aim to discover which it is.

I generated a 12-character commit SHA prefix collision with the start of Linux's git history. It took about 6 hours on an RTX 3080 GPU:

@lynnesbian that explains why the RISC-V people like trains so much!

in switzerland you aren't allowed to have a train with exactly 256 axles because of an integer overflow in the axle counting machine

i wish i could fix my software bugs by making it illegal to cause them
