It's fascinating that cURL is becoming a genericized term: - search it on a search engine -> google it - fetch it from an API -> cURL it

Too big to recover.

When I was there at aws (left about a decade ago), us-east-1 was considered least stable, because it was the biggest. I.e. some bottle-necks in new code appearing only _after_ you'…

in Nix it's the same for as long as I remember, both on NixOS and nix-managed home-manager on MacOS and Linux: neovim = { enable = true; vimAlias = true; vimdiffAlias = true; defau…

I've been running jakstys.lt (and subdomains like git.jakstys.lt) from my closet, a simple residential connection with a small monthly price for a static IP. The only time I had a …

My combination for photo hosting is: - headscale+tailscale - immich - syncthing I am not using native immich photo upload due to historical reasons and old habits. I set up native …

Your flake is very helpful, thanks! I cargo-culted tlp configuration, will see how it goes. > and letting powertop run in the background while on battery for a few hours to identif…

You are not alone with both issues. Framework12, i5, NixOS. My milleage is 2.5~3h, but usage is light (vim mainly, often not even a browser). I spent quite some time trying differe…

OK, a Django update from me. I heavily used Django since version 0.96 (2007) until 1.5 (2014) (with Python 3)! Then came a long break with lower-level infrastructure work: linux ke…

I am upset by this. I have used awesome for >10 years now, and the way awesome does multi-monitor support has grown into me. No other WM, wayland or X11, has offered it. I am upset…

Rk3588-based are gaining traction. Upstream support for uboot and linux has been improving rapidly. I bought orange pi 5+ to replace my x86-based odroid-h2+. Will start the install…

One thing that bit and puzzled me was autoloading of the extensions. If you are compiling applications with clang (or zig), some (all?) extensions will not work, because C++ does n…

I was responsible for bootstrapping arm64 at Uber[1] and no longer work there. I am ready to consult companies who are considering or have just started onboarding to arm64 (and run…

> (I used to work on Protobufs, a long time ago.) What and understatement. For those unaware, Kenton made protobufs to what they are today. Protobuf was my first dip into what are …

The language docs are OK: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/ Zig taught me to read stdlib source, which I do at my $dayjob now too. It is perfectly fine to read stdlib sourc…

That's why I use Lenovo keyboards. They have this amazing red thing in the middle of the keyboard . You can't ask more than that.

Hi! No plans yet. In my opinion, it needs a good reason to be picked instead of C (which we have sizable) to overcome the "number of developers" argument. Introducing a new general…

Author here. I am proud what we've achieved. Unfortunately I will cease working on this soon[1], but, if you are interested and location suits you, I highly recommend Uber's Platfo…

Judging from my past experience working with Zig — now it will get many eyeballs, some of which are the best in the field. Allowing API to change, sometimes drastically, and someho…

This interview and the one with Richard Hipp about sqlite[1] resulted me in downloading and listening to all past podcasts from corecursive. I found some other gems there too[2]. A…
