Deebster, to linux in Fish rewrite-it-in Rust progress: 100%
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Large parts of the rewrite came from contributors who had never worked on fish before.

That’s pretty useful alone.

And there’s this:

Thread Safety

Allowing background functions and concurrent functions has been a goal for many years. I have been nursing a long-lived branch which allows full threaded execution. But though the changes are small, I have been reluctant to propose them, because they will make reasoning about the shell internals too complex: it is difficult in C++ to check and enforce what crosses thread boundaries.

This is Rust’s bread and butter: we will encode thread requirements into our types, making it explicit and compiler-checked, via Send and Sync. Rust will allow turning on concurrent mode in a safe way, with a manageable increase in complexity, finally enabling this feature.

Deebster, to selfhosted in Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Oh yeah, that looks much better than any of the included themes. Nice work!

Could you share a screenshot of your final result?

Deebster, to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Can it still be a favourite if I haven’t touched it in a decade? I still love Gentoo but I have enough shiny things to burn up my time.

Deebster, to selfhosted in Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Self-hosting email is not at all easy, and I’d recommend paying for hosted email from a service that lets you use a custom domain. Most will let you have multiple inboxes, although this may cost extra.

Then, just buy a domain (NameCheap is fine) and point your MX records at the email provider.

Deebster, to linux in Thoughts on this?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Huh, that’s weird: when I posted, I saw your your comment as a top-level comment but I now I see it as a reply. Maybe it’s a Lemmy bug; I’ll keep an eye out in future.

@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, that one is annoying.

What one?

@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Well yeah, if you allow cheating!

Deebster, to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

It is far too confusing what to use - even as someone who uses Linux on various servers, a media centre, WSL and used to run a Gentoo laptop I still don’t know which distro to use, let alone which of KDE/Gnome, X11/Wayland, init/systemd etc.

I like it, and I think the simplicity means it’ll be quite flexible.

Death by patent troll 😞

Deebster, to lemmyshitpost in Back in my day
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

We had a “kids tape” that had countless things recorded over each other. The second half was just a collage of the tail end of various cartoons and shows. When it got to the Abba-soundtracked documentary about a carnival it meant you were at the end of the tape.

Is there such a thing as a non-shit mullet?

Deebster, to risa in Why even listen to Klingon if it isn't punky or acidic?
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Yup, they made the first commercial synthesizer. Moog rhymes with Vogue, despite what you might think from the spelling.
