I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.

This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.

I have also been done in many times by git-filter-repo. My condolences to the chef.

A real shitpost

I agree to some degree but the gnu project doesn’t have a great track record for performative hosting (savannah is very prone to going down for long periods of time.)

I don’t begrudge better hosting infrastructure from a different non-profit.

As a guix user and package maintainer I’m ecstatic.

I’m so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.

If you’re curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!

Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme’s parentheses. :)

On that front: to developers-

Please make sure you include bash completions for your tools

pre installing flatpaks

Did the room just get a bit colder or is it just me

guix and/or nix

Both are functional package managers and manage dependency trees better than flatpak IMO (also the package description languages mean you can manipulate the package definitions at install time much easier)

If you can’t find a package in guix/nix then it behooves you to use flatpak

Some additional nice things about guix:

Everything is guile. The system definition, the service definitions for shepherd, everything.

Shepherd is hands down the best init program I’ve ever used. It’s just incredibly simplistic but because it just runs the guile definition you give it, you can do some incredibly complex things that systemd etc. can do as well.

The OS documentation is built into the distro, with “info guix” you get reams of configuration information for the distro without ever needing to look it up online.

About a year and a half.

To be honest it’s not “easy” to use. The guiding principle behind mainline packages is that everything has to be built from source, so most somewhat unpopular things are missing from the mainline channels.

To use it like any other distro you’re going to need to learn how to write packages fairly quickly. Luckily the main draw of guix is the entire OS being based on guile so once you get a little under your belt you can just read the specs from other channels to see how a package is written.

Took me maybe a week to start writing guix packages.

There’s also The toybox

Guix because I love the idea behind Nix but Nixlang is the most painful language I’ve ever had to type out.

The leadership response to this and the subsequent backlash is starting to remind me of the NixOS debacle from about a year ago.

That resulted in the project being split and like 30% of the community moving off and creating Lix.

I would be disappointed, but not surprised, if we see something similar in the Kernel sometime in the next year or two…

I’m not surprised by this.

The general attitude around R4L is that it’s largely unneeded and for every 1 person actively working against the project, there are 10 saying either “waiting and seeing if it works is the right decision” or “if rust is so good they should prove it.”

So as a R4L developer you’re expected by the community to fight an uphill battle with basically no support on your side.

We will likely keep having developers on that project continue to burn out and leave until the entire thing collapses unless the decision is made ahead of time to cancel the project.

Every time I read any news about Rust for Linux I leave disappointed by the entire kernel community.

I can understand their frustration, having multiple other rust for Linux project maintainers quit over nontechnical rust aversion.

And Linus continues to (democratically?) avoid the subject with this response.

As a rust for Linux volunteer you have to be incredibly demoralized reading this mess almost every other month.

bc

It’s a simple command line calculator! I use it all the time.

I love locate! I have a cronjob that updates the db every night, then I can just find a file without having to think about where it is

Somebody hit the token chain jackpot

What’s great about lawsuits like this is you really only have to prove intent and they have a record of them asking for similar imagery.

Isn’t fusion power not as clean as people say it is?

The Practicalities of actual fusion reactors make this seem a lot less appealing than I think I grew up hearing.

I’m happy to see china continue to pump resources into their clean energy mix, but at the same time it feels like this entire concept might end up being more of a meme than we think.

They can’t form new trade unions because everyone already has to join a registered trade union.
