I'm looking forward to trying it out; apparently it's still a fairly new project (first commit in March) but I think it has the potential to be huge by picking just the right slice of the problem to solve
it's been hard being someone who's not a fan of the github monopoly and having to pick between gitlab (please don't), codeberg (they do a good job at copying github but I think we can do better) and sourcehut (super fast and efficient but they want you to use email to collaborate)
the idea is that instead of attaching your patch to an email, you ssh it to a service that tracks patches submitted; review on the patches is just done by submitting follow-up patches that put comments into the code; successive fixes that address the reviewer's issues delete the comments and then it's ready to go; you run a single ssh command to get a patch you can pipe directly to git am
when a patch is pushed it updates an RSS file you point your HTTP server at
no account needed, no client software to install; everything is spare and minimal but smooth

Trying to load js code with bigint literals in typescript project, most horrible and dissatisfying programming experience I've had in years. I already spent a few days debugging it and thought that I localized the issue, but we are still not here. Updating javascript parser in transitive dependencies is not enough.
The problems is in the hardcoded javascript standard version in call to parser in one of the bundler plugins, which in case a transitive dependency of another package, which provides dev tooling.
I have a dilemma: I can buy a used thinkpad x13s ARM laptop for 400$.
Pros: - Lightweight, fanless, energy efficient. - Fresh and not falling appart like my current one :) - Can explore and improve the state of Linux ecosystem for RISC architectures. - Good price.
Cons: - No proper sleep, no KVM, PipeWire problems. - I'm not sure that I can use it as my primary work machine => will need to maintain and carry two laptops during my trips. - Migration/setup costs.

@abcdw I currently have the Thinkpad X13S and use it as a primary work machine if you have any questions. It's been great for my use-case. Especially for the battery life and size and such. I use Windows on it and do C++ projects on it and some Vulkan development and use VSCode to do remote-dev to my Linux server as well and basic media consumption if that aligns in any way with what you intend to use it for. https://elk.zone/mastodon.social/@Wunkolo/112515804987865895
@abcdw Nice! Is this a private auction or a reseller? I've been trying to get a X13s (preferably with ISO-UK or ISO-DE) for a long time but it's just ridiciously hard to get for a fair price. Most shops still sell them for more than 1k EUR/USD - in this case getting the brandnew T14s G6 with the Snapdragon X1 Elite makes more sense.
I've just had a chat with @mart_w last week who is running #NixOS on his X13s. Some things are still somewhat broken, but it has become his daily driver.

I am really excited what this demonstrates for #ReproducibleBuilds in #Guix both for a third reference point...
But also that you can enable the build farm without trusting it, relying on the signatures from the more established servers, and download the bit-for-bit identical binaries from the "untrusted" one.
Which is not to say there is any reason in particular not to trust the new build farm... just that you do not have to trust it for it to be useful!

@abcdw Everytime i've looked at LDAP for any personal/friend setups i'm instantly overwhelmed. Is this really a technology we want to save? What alternatives have you considered?
Apparently there's a cool Pango flag that enables subpixel glyph positioning which makes things scale smoother and improves kerning! Thanks Benjamin (the GTK maintainer) for the suggestion
@abcdw the only XMPP group chat I was in was one I was told was a Christian one, it didn't take long to realize it was actually a far-right antisemitic circle jerk.
@abcdw there’s guix(at)chat.disroot.org & with biboumi (an IRC gateway => https://biboumi.louiz.org) there’s also a convenient way to join and use IRC rooms from XMPP clients.
Hi Fediverse, we are NLnet. We support people and organizations who contribute to a free and open internet. We offer small and medium grants to projects that help fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data. We're the lead of @NGIZero a coalition which runs several funding programmes for people who build free and open source technologies for the Next Generation Internet. (Made possible with financial support from the European Commission). We've been stealthily present in the Fediverse behind the NGIZero handle but have now finally set up our NLnet instance. With special thanks to @nlnetlabs for their patience :). Another way we've been involved is we've funded many fantastic ActivityPub related projects. See the image for a visual overview.
Happy to be here and looking forward to meet you in this pleasant space.

@flatwhatson@nlnet Reading the s48 refmanual I notice that the numeric types use double and long, and booleans use char. Could this be configurable in a future implementation?, pre-scheme could be an awesome meta programming tool but the current scheme48 implementation seems too restrictive.
@flatwhatson I am delighted to see that this effort exists! In the early 90’s I built robots that booted to s48. Jonathan Rees made scheme work brilliantly. In the late 90’s I set up a new group of robots with Kelsey’s Kali scheme. On one of my visits to NEC, I asked Richard about pre-scheme.
I think jar called it “a compiler only one person could run”, so I didn’t feel too bad that I couldn’t get it running on my own.
@technomancy That's very nice! Looks really handy. Much simplier than both emailing patch series and sending PRs.
Use of RSS is quite nice too.
