"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

Reminder to anyone who needs to hear it, LLMs are not intelligent, they literally need a random number to produce output

Bittorrent DHT implementation work will continue tomorrow at the same time :D

No stream today. However, I will be looking into Bittorrent's DHT protocol tomorrow! Hope to see you then. 0530 MDT.

GitHub - max-niederman/ttyper: Terminal-based typing test. Terminal-based typing test. Contribute to max-niederman/ttyper development by creating an account on GitHub.

A while back I discovered that ttyper (a typing test program for the terminal) can use a custom wordlist. I decided to create one entirely out of words I always misspell. I don't think my WPM will ever recover TT

A nice review of a few cool projects: www.youtube.com/watch?v=32O0... -- I'm tempted to do a "pure (rc)xs bible" as well. Maybe one for rc as well, more as a learning experiment.

I keep forgetting people don't know that many modern tar implementations can auto-detect which -z flag to use. `tar xf thing.tar.zst` will just work.

Speaking of misinformation: apparently the SSPL is based on GPLv3, not the AGPLv3. My confusion was due to it appearing to extend the AGPL's requirements.

Since Upscaler has just reached 150,000 installs on Flathub, I'm releasing Upscaler 1.5.0! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale images locally, securely, and completely offline.

Thanks to @zoeyTheWitch's wonderful contribution, this release [โ€ฆ]

I appreciate that people *really* do not like the requirements for Section 13. That's fine, if that's your beef with the SSPL, then say that instead of spreading falsities. I prefer copyleft licenses over permissive licenses. Some people prefer licenses that allow people to close the source later

The FSF said they'd look into the SSPL and make a comment, it's been a long while and they've been silent on the matter. Claims that the SSPL is not a Free Software license are false. I'm also not making a claim that the SSPL is a Free Software license, because that equally lacks evidence.

The SSPL is based on the AGPL. MongoDB (the company) has a nice little difference PDF that you can read.

The OSI says the SSPL is not Open Source. I understand their reasoning, and that's their prerogative. But I think this call was more harmful than it was beneficial.

Hot Take: The misinformation about the SSPL needs to stop.

If you disagree with the SSPL, that's fine.

But if you argue against what you think what the SSPL is, rather than what it actually is, you are actively harming the FOSS community.

I can't summon any focus today, so I'll have to cancel the stream. I'll stream tomorrow to make up for it. Thank you for your patience, and I hope everyone has a great day.

TIL: ```c
int main(int argc, char **argv {
uint8_t buffer[1 << 25];
// ...
}
```
This code segfaults on entry into main(). I guess it should have been obvious.

For this Sunday's stream, I'll be looking at using cscope's database to help with document generation. Monday I'm looking at two possible means of getting glowing ores (ala Thaumcraft) working in Luanti.

Today I am looking at the code I wrote in my last fit of wanting to replace Hexo entirely. There were decisions made. I am forgiving myself for them, for I understand I was not in my right mind when I wrote them, as is evidenced by the code I wrote.
