it kills me that people try to pretend that python is even remotely a good software development ecosystem

python is fucking. BULLSHIT

they don't even have a central documentation platform or framework or even useful types. it's just fuckin a few examples and that's all you get. not worth a damn

what if I need to turn off the remote itself?

Since we’re not superstitious, the 13th edition of KR will take place September 21–23, 2026 (black cats strictly forbidden during this edition — even on a leash… 😄). We hope to see loads of you there!

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.

Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.

Hooman likey squigly lines

USB SUPERSPEED!!!

RAM: you're too touchy

damn this bleach anime is something else huh

Slide showing the $225k grant received by the eBPF Foundation from the Alpha-Omega project and what it will be used for. The slide mentions enabling KASAN, security reviews of the main JIT compilers, checking the verifier-to-JIT integrity, and an assessment of unprivileged surfaces.

At #LinuxPlumbers, @breakawaybilly.bsky.social presented what the eBPF Foundation is doing, where its funds are going, and asked the attendees what should be next.

Proton Pass' CLI in operation, a terminal window sits on a gradient background.

The Proton Pass CLI, which was recently released as a beta, is now officially launched!

Enable faster workflows, reduce context switching, and implement secure automation across local development, servers, and CI/CD environments with this new and secure Command Line Interface.

The users are people who couldn't satisfy their OCD with Arch Linux (me). Nix being always reproducible is the big feature for me. Hermatic builds with flakes are another level of upgrade.

dancing with the devil, are we?

I use GH actions because well, free, and environment doesn't matter since my code is built with Nix. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"I'd pin you in my lock file forever" lmao

Yes, the only real Go targets are

linux/amd64
linux/arm64
darwin/arm64
windows/amd64

(“Things you should be very concerned about the crypto maintainer saying,” if you deploy to any others 😬)

Wait until you read Nix

Not saying its good, but it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's because attrName can be a string and the interpreter has no way of knowing weather you want to treat the quoted string as a variable name or to evaluate its contents.

I like it. Having used Nix for some years, I've realised that I use flakes for hermetic benefits. And IMHO, it should be that way. Side rant: you don't need flake-utils or flake-parts.

Inspired by another recent post on ATProto I signed up for bsky, but all I see is endless American politics. I relentlessly click "less like this" but it doesn't seem to budge. Is this just what the platform is like? Being constantly barraged by the same predictable takes on today's bizarre overseas controversy is not very conducive to mental peace...

imagine how much more appealing Bluesky could be to people all over the world if it could fix this single problem

Try getting the values for true and false using builtins.toString lol

So what's the firmware stack like?

wth happened?

NixOS on Lenovo because they don't sell Frameworks where I live

You could call it... the string theory

Been on bsky for months but haven't set a pfp yet but I never fail a nix flake update everyday lol
