my comfy minimal (almost) lisp machine - hacked a bit on my dwl-guile config yesterday and added a bar that matches the elea-dark theme of emacs :guix:
@civodul would it be too complex for the main Guix repo to break out into specialized official channels for certain categories of packages that are not needed for producing a working system?
@MenacingMecha I use simplelists.com, they're pretty flexible and affordable. Customer support is great too, I think it's the owner responding to all the emails.
@MenacingMecha usually the GC doesn't start freeing things until allocations hit the current heap limit, so it will seem to rise for a bit before it starts to bounce
I'm finding my way back into game dev. Because mental health reasons I can't do bigger stuff. So, I finally listened to a piece of advice I've told other people so many times: Make something small!
If bursts of work is what I'm capable of, small games it is for a while!
Randomly laying in bed and remembered this wonderful coverdisc. My school had a copy of it in the library that we all borrowed. Those were happy days. :)
@thelinuxcast this is a gnome reimplementation of a program called Midnight Commander which itself is a reimplementation of an old DOS program called Norton Commander:
Hard to follow for the first 30 mins, has some great scenes splattered about, but doesn't set up a goal or meat to sink it's teeth into, so you end up just waiting through plot beats until it ends, which is always what you want from a movie.
While everyone else gives a fantastic performance, things are hampered by the protagonist being an absolute unlikable charisma void. I do not care for his plight. He is not interesting or entertaining to follow.
