It’s the NFL trade deadline

I have $HOME/src for projects that are executables and $HOME/lib for ones that are libraries/dependancies/etc

“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Stay Safe!

For those like me who are stuck with win 11 on your work computer be aware that KDE makes windows builds for some of their software like the Dolphin file explorer: https://apps.kde.org/dolphin/

It’s not officially supported yet and has some issues but I’ve been using it for a few days now and it’s been quite nice

Some issues I’ve run into are: not being able to open archives into dolphin; issues with not being able to move files to the trash bin (although deleting it works fine)

Also I’m pretty sure that Recall is deep in the kernel so you might not be able to run the explorer shell at all. Unfortunately there really isn’t a good alternative since litestep has been abandoned :(

LISP is consistently good: https://github.com/barak/stalin

Posadist Standard LISP is my favorite flavor tho

I don’t think you have a choice in how many cats you own; you’ll wake up one day and they’ll be another one

Yeah, you would think there would have been someone making a Clojure version at least

If anyone is interested here is a wiki with quite a few of the open source Minecraft servers and clients made through the years.

There have been multiple Java based projects throughout the years. The most advanced one that is currently in development is https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom

Engineering? Universal translator is acting up again; send up Ensign Zork, they speak Zetan right?

I’m not the author of the site so I can’t know for sure but the culture of plan9 puts simplicity first so many sites are http only

It’s a http site not https

Yes you are quite right, unfortunately for me I rolled high in electrochemestry and require copious amounts of proprietary games and CUDA cores so GNU + Linux + Proton is where I will need to be for now.

Nix seemed more focused on marketing and cutting corners to make a working product faster

Yes, this is a big issue in corporate development. It seems like management is in a constant state of barreling headfirst into a “silver bullet that fixes everything” instead of doing things the hard way (which in the long term is almost always better.

expect to either package it yourself

I have not maintained any packages before but I am very interested in learning how, I shall look into this.

Shepherd for its init system

I vaguely remember this was the originally used in Hurd? if so that is cool.

This is very cool!

guix import

This seems quite useful thanks for that.

Setting up Emacs, a local SMTP server connected to your email for git, and a CLI password manager will probably be helpful.

I have been wanting to set up upasfs this may be the push I need to finally get around to doing that.

It appears Guix may be a good choice in the future but not quite yet, I will try installing it as a package manager and/or try it in a VM to start out with. Thanks for the info!

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I shall try this out in a VM sometime. thanks!

Neat! Im not sure to be honest; seems like some people have handheld lora radios the same way some people have walkies-talkies; would be an important thing to figure out

Using scheme would be a big benefit for me as I already know it whereas NixOS I would have to learn their config language. I suppose that if it is easy to create packages and submit them it would be like compiling it myself except that more people could have access to it. I shall take this under consideration.

I do have one related question, during install how do you get an already customized config file onto the system during install? How do I create a config file beforehand?
