The best compliment I've had in years: today at the gym little kids were giggling in the corner looking at me whispering "look, gigachad, he-he-he" To be fair: I woke up at 05:00 (am) today and had good worksession (figured out the thing I was working on since Thursday) (breakfast, dinner) and ran a 5km at the gym. So, I am kinda proud. Just a good day. Are there far-far right instances on Mastodon? I'm just curious in sociological sense because it's something that seems very "obvious to exists": opening own instances means everyone finds/creates their place, but I couldn't find any via Google and DuckDuckGo. One of my friends saying that if there are no instances like that, it means Mastodon designed to block free speech and I am trying to disprove him on how it works @shegeley Not sure of any specific instance, but they are out there. Try looking for some of the public mastodon blocklists shared around by instance maintainers and you should have plenty to go on.  @shegeley Truth.Social is a fork of Mastodon, although they probably don't federate... Идея для сериала: в России президентом стал чувак, который 4 года прожил в тибетском монастыре и владеет магией (умеет читать мысли и летать) Sometimes I visit my parents (they live in the countryside) and go mushroom hunting. And when there are no mushrooms I collect garbage from the nearby forest. 🌏♥️🌲 I have a patch for the #Guix itself that changes some of it's packages (gnu packages …). I want to override Guix on my machine with Guix patched by this little patch. Modified «guix-service-type» with proper «guix» field. Won't help. Any ideas? :guix: (an option would be using patched guix with it's channel itself from local machine (with `file://`), I want to know if it's the only way)  @shegeley this is off the top of my head, but the guix-service-type guix is only used as the guix-daemon guix and maybe the /run/current-system/bin/guix . Your user's guix, which unless you have a very weird setup is what you'll be running, comes from your .config/guix/channels.scm at the time you last `guix pull`-ed. The guix that you run determines which package definitions you are using. So file:// might be the cleanest way.  @shegeley Hi! The way to do that would be by pulling from your own “channel” (your own Git repository, containing Guix with your changes.) Found a problem using #guix + #gnome + #gdm. Having a desktop and a laptop and 2 external monitors when switching the output from both of them to the laptop the desktop over time (~40 mins) will go into some strange and unresponsive mode even after switching them back to it: #gdm won't let you log in and even switch to TTY and even ssh login won't work on local network 😨 Found out I am not only one with this problem Had to order cheap external monitor that will always be "on" on for the desktop @shegeley I’m having the same issue, is there a solution that doesn’t require another monitor? Maybe it doesn’t happen with sddm or lightdm… It's +18 Celsius in my hometown today (southern-central Russia). I just came home from a walk wearing a t-shirt and shorts. 🤯️ I don't remeber anything like this before. But I like it. After Lisp (even Clojurescript) programming all Node + Typescript frameworks and "new fancy stuff" about it seems like a joke to me. Ken Tompson wrote Unix in 3 weeks when his wife was on vacation with kid. And modern frontend typescript developers spend 2 weeks to fix some form-validation bug Which doesen't mean I am smart enough to write and OS in 3 weeks. It's just something smart enough person in IT can't brag about all the mainstream bullshit. If you smart enough person and have been into the software industry for quite a while you will most likely notice the ugliness of it and recognize the beauty of not-so-mainstream "experimental" languages and tools, some of them you might enjoy a lot. Is it a good idea to mention it on a mainstream-tech job interview straight ahead or is it better to act like you love the mainsteam (Java/NodeJS/PHP/Python (etc)) and think it's the best language/tool out there?

 @shegeley I think it's best to be honest, but also not to decry the mainstream too much just because it's technically inferior to some other technology. So you can say you think Haskell is superior to Java (for instance, I jest), but that you appreciate the need to maintain, for example, Java applications and work with the limitations of the language (which you could then briefly elaborate). Your willingness, or otherwise, to work with the mainstream should be understood. Thanks for your adequacy. I'm just having big issues with my current workplace and don't know what to do. I'm just feeling kinda stuck and stupid about my current job + financial situation. On my current job I had kinda the same experience ("k, might be ugly, but we has to work on it, nothing matters") except tried to introduce to cljs [that can work on Node.js as a platform, so could be applied]. |
When the war just started my older pro-putin relatives argued that if Putin wouldn't start it Belgorod and nearest cities would be bombed by Ukraine and NATO in a few days.
2 years later: Belgorod is being bombed. 😑
@shegeley well sh&t. I hope you'll all be alright.
@shegeley
Sorry about your father. Stay safe!
