An American friend of mine thinks beans on toast is disgusting. So to all none Brits (as we find it delicious)…is it disgusting to you?

Side note - I find it astonishing that someone from the country that invented “cheese in a can” can find this “dish” disgusting. 😂

All the people disappointed with NixOS right now should consider putting their energy into Guix instead.

I would describe The Guix project as "allergic to corporate entanglement."

Everyone knows I'm a watch geek, but I've now taken it one step further and added a watch wearing log to this site.

Im thinking about replacing my NAS with #Glusterfs. But I’m not sure about one usecase. My NAS serves NFS storage to a KVM host. On the NFS are qcow images. The performance isn’t great but perfectly acceptable for what I do. Would that still work with Glusterfs or would the constant sync of data in the background be too much?

Isn’t someone out there working on a modern version of #lispMachines?

I’m reading over and over that companies and people would like to solve tomorrows problems. What about solving today’s problems first? Or even yesterday’s problems? Quite honestly we’ve got a humongously huge backlog of problems to pick from.

Dear #Rust folks, the this-cannot-happen-in-Rust toots have been fun in the beginning. But now they get a bit long I the tooth. Sure, you are right and we get it. But some software is even older than you and is allowed to order the hard stuff in a pub. You can’t just rewrite that on a weekend. Also it starts to look shitty on you. I’m saying this, because I like you folks and I’d like to see more stuff written in Rust. Just don’t be the kind of people others don’t want to have around anymore. ☮️

It's nice that Scarlett Johansson can hire a legal team for that. Meanwhile the rest of us just has to live with all of the things they've created being used to train those AIs without seeing a cent.

Lisp Badge LE, the Arduino based self-contained computer that runs uLisp, has gone viral on tech sites:

This Lisp machine in a pocket is pretty cool but the product listing of the preassembled unit is missing key information, the price:

Oh boy, I’m starting to get really angry at those #mediumBlog|s with the „Read the full story with a free account“ half way through the post. What the heck? No, I’m not gonna register. I’m only getting angry at you, your blog and medium. Go figure out how to use Hugo, Jekyll, or WordPress. It’s not that hard!

There are some #gnome projects/packages in need of maintainers since people need to refocus: https://www.hadess.net/2023/08/new-responsibilities.html

TIL that you can restore deleted projects in the #openSUSE Build Service by just creating a new project with the same name. OBS is then asking if you'd like to restore the project. Neat!

It's funny how some people obsess over the theoretical efficiency of a language used for apps that run in data centers, while we burn through years worth of resources for the blockchain, crypto currency, and AI. 🤡

If the #EverGiven has shown us one thing, then it’s that today’s interconnectedness without buffers can be a huge weakness. It’s also not unthinkable that something like this could be done deliberately with trade wars on the rise. Let’s have #TheITCollapse as a #ThoughtExperiment. No new chips for several years. Your country starts chip production from scratch. But first they do dumpster diving for hardware. What would be your #bedrockOS? Something that scales well from embedded to datacenter!?

"Rethinking Window Management" for #Gnome

https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2023/07/26/rethinking-window-management/

That's some really interesting stuff. I know it is also kind of controversial, but I absolutely adore the animated mockups! Really cool!

brejoc, 7 months ago to react

Folks, please…! Before you drink the #react Kool-Aid, take a look at #htmx or any other framework that let's you extend your current server side application without buying into a whole new ecosystem. You can have interactive websites even without react. You can have a specific UI/UX without react. I'm not saying react is bad, it's just completely overblown for most use-cases. And chances are high you underestimate the downsides. Stay small, stay lean!
