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! 🪄

I’ve posted an end-of-year update for my GCC translation validation tool, smtgcc, to the GCC mailing list:

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:

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

Friends, today is the day before Thanksgiving here in the US. Friday is also a holiday for many people here so that we have the day off to go buy stuff that looks like it is on sale but really isn't.

What does that mean to you? It means that it is time. Time to push that code to production. Push it like it's never been pushed before. Use all the git flags.

Testing is for people who are not confident in their abilities, and we don't have time for that sort of negativity around here.

Today is your day.

Tomorrow, and beyond? That is ops problem.

Elon Musk just confessed to tampering with the X content algorithm so people will not read the news, effectively creating a platform where unsourced claims get prioritized, and statements with links to documentation gets pushed aside.

X really is the platform of dumb.
