All this bias against nagels algorithm makes me feel like not enough people grok good systems programming fundamentals 
Sevoris
@drewdevault TIL about Nagle’s algorithm. To contextualize further reading into the algorithm: What fundamental do you think there is a clash with here?
Jonas Vautherin
@drewdevault Or maybe can you elaborate on your thought there? Like is there an obvious solution that people generally miss? Genuinely curious, I'm not a systems programming expert at all.

Any good assemblers and linkers which are broadly GNU compatible but written in C and simpler than binutils?

Snektron
@drewdevault Zig has a self-hosted ELF (and Mach-O) linker. Assembler is still clang, though

Redict 7.3.0 has just been accepted into Debian unstable, and if all goes well, it will land in testing soon 😀 If you haven't heard, Redict is an independent fork of Redis OSS 7.2.4 led by @drewdevault and licensed under the Lesser GNU General Public license (LGPL-3.0-only), "a deliberate [choice] which balances a number of concerns" while "[making] it as easy as possible for users to comply".

Wow so today I learned that egregious labor violations are utterly widespread throughout the yoga industry A friend was describing how they "volunteer" at their local yoga studio in exchange for free classes by working 4 hour shifts at the cash register... of a for profit company... where they report to a manager... and whose owner takes regular expensive vacations and lives in a beautiful, spacious home... Upon further research I found out that this happens at MOST OF THEM

@drewdevault i think there’s some overlap with MLM stuff too, like they may also be incentivized to recruit their students to become the next wave of instructors

Closed access science should have been outlawed the moment ARPANET was online 
Daphne Preston-Kendal
@drewdevault Arguably it was: commercial use of the internet was banned until 1991 (retvrn, etc)

@drewdevault Usually, I think the same, but seeing just how out of proportion the press blows some studies that don't really do more than hint that something should be studied more, makes me wonder.

There are not actually many good games for the NDS, it seems

@drewdevault Which are your preferences? NDS has a vast catalog and I'm sure there will be some you'll enjoy. Some of my favorites:

Comrade Weez
@afif He's absolutely right about everything he says in this. Except for one thing. If Trump wins, there won't be any more elections. Israel will have carte blanche for wholesale genocide, in daylight, with gas chambers. Abstaining, voting 3rd party or voting for Trump all have the same effect. I will be voting for Biden on the least-worst principle.

@drewdevault Sometimes buying is easier than renting in NL. Especially it you're self-employed. You can get mortgages for up to 100% of the property value.

@drewdevault yknow.. U can rent a few square centimeters of my heart AND fuck me~ (My yearning lesbian ass trying to flirt with the hot radically left fedi grils)

I have now received four notices from the IRS informing me that they need 60 additional days to figure out why they overcharged me by $16,000 on my taxes, which is to say, 240 days and counting 
Qazm
@drewdevault They're probably busy figuring out the 34 billion invoice: https://wjactv.com/news/local/pennsylvania-man-receives-34-billion-tax-bill-irs-investigating-taxes-money-revenue-error

Anything else aside, the Hyprland code is *astonishingly* bad. Good luck rewriting wlroots btw

@drewdevault sounds like the perfect excuse for someone to rewrite its features from scratch :blobcatderpy:

@drewdevault I tried to solve the issue where the click event of gtk-layer-shell would be triggered repeatedly, but then I found varxy introduced a bunch of inexplicable special conditions in order to try to solve this problem, but in the end he did not completely handle the click and release events :ablobtoiletflush:

well fuck. telegram decided to sneak in a nazi symbol in their announcement of NFT usernames today, so i guess this is the thing that makes me switch to Signal. edit: @wolfie pointed out another thing, they're highlighting Tucker Carlson in the blog post

Why are there no good domain registrars

@drewdevault I've also been a happy enough customer of gandi for many, many years. I'm sure they have their problems, but I have this far been blissfully unaware of them. Note that I only use them as registrar, not for DNS hosting.
Kristófer Reykjalín
@drewdevault I’ve been fairly happy with namecheap, are there any controversies there I should be aware of? 🤔 I’ve also heard good things about NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, which might be a fine option?
Joseph Szymborski :qcca:
@drewdevault they all suck. Porkbun is often recommended. I've not had problems with them.
Drew DeVault
3rd most active contributor to #nixos drops from the project due to the lack of leadership from the Foundation supposedly backing the project. Everything is fine, I'm sure the arms dealers will compensate the lost contributions. /s

i should have a cake shop make a replica of the hurricane + cogent cake from NANOG 47
alyx (dual-stack)
not to give it to cogent or anything, i just want cake and think it'd be funny to recreate the peering dispute cake 
Paul_IPv6
at this point, that cake is old enough to be in high school and cogent is still not peering. sigh...

@drewdevault Do you have a desktop computer?
Mine (bought new in 2022, MPG X570) just comes with a COM header:
@drewdevault Do you have a PC? There are PCI cards for serial ports. Would that work for you?
@drewdevault
I have an extra X220. Battery is shot... Haha, but that's an easy fix.
