Hugo 雨果

With technology being omnipresent, digital rights have become essential rights. The debate is no longer whether the government can install cameras in your house and cars. The hot topic is about how the private sector gets away with it. Eventually, in the age of computing, opting out of the all-seeing technocracy won't be an option.

Must resist the temptation to write a clone of Notepad (the old-school version) for Wayland.

#foot (the #terminal) is underrated. It's lightweight and resource efficient simple, render ridiculously fast, has a pretty simple configuration format. It implements all those fancy modern terminal escape sequences. And the author is super friendly.

How would you connect wires to this UART (GND/TX/RX) if you don't have a solder at hand?

#askfedi #electronics #uart

@lanodan @eal The same thing bothers me about #openrc. You have `openrc`, `service`, `rc-update`. They don't seem related, and would make more sense as subcommands of `rc`.

#gohugo (the static website generator) perpetually breaks backward compatibility, but also doesn't use semver, so any version can just break any random day.

It also warns about things like "no templates found for categories", on a site without categories. So I kinda end up ignoring warnings, because it warns about the non-existence of templates which are not used anyway.

Any idea if the #clickscommunicator has a locked bootloader or whether we can potentially port/run, for example, #PostmarketOS ?

#askfedi please boost if you’re curious too.

@fasterthanlime #sourcehut and #forejo are the most common ones. If you want a PR-like workflow, then the latter is your main choice. Sourcehut has superb CI.

On #linux, when mounting an untrusted #filesystem (eg: external drive) the filesystem might have executable files with capabilities declared in their extended attributes. This is pretty similar to files being #suid. Is there an equivalent to nosuid so I can #mount the filesystem ignoring those capabilities?

Rewriting #sudo into #rust was a bad idea. The main issue with sudo is its massive complexity and enormous amount for features and settings for a program that’s SUID. A memory safe language doesn’t magically fix this.

If you really want to bring memory safety into this space, then rewrite #doas into Rust.

I got distracted for a few days with some side projects in #harelang

Now going back to work on #rust, I can't stand the slow compile times. It's crazy how I'd normalised them so much, but after using something that's fast for a few days, these long waiting times have become unbearable.

Folks using #msmtp, how do you handle queueing messages when you're offline?

I basically sometimes want to send an email but have no connectivity, so want to leave it for later. But this doesn't seem to be supported.

I know that #asahi doesn't support M3/M4 yet, but does #m1n1 support either of these processors?

Why am I using #chrony when #busybox already provides #ntpd?

My reason for using offlineimap is because it supports IMAP IDLE, but its IDLE support has been broken for years, so I use it with IDLE disabled.

#email #askfedi #imap #offlineimap

#ChatControl is just a precursor to #ThoughtControl

They even kept the names similar, on trying to pretend otherwise.

The #vcard spec allows a birthday to be a time without a date (and it’s even one of the examples!).

Hello, I’m Hugo and my birthday is 08:35.

It doesn’t even have a time zone. 🤪

The main reason that I stopped using terminal emulators with tabs was that I used a window manager with tabs (my first was #pekwm).

Suddenly a single window can have two terminal tabs and a pdf reader as the third tab.

Tiling window managers with tabbed containers are essentially the same concept.

I am testing #Fedora 38 #KDE. I followed the wiki on how to set up #fcitx, but it doesn't work (switching input method is a no-op and typing just types English).

I tried the same thing on Fedora 37 with the same results, and Fedora 36 didn't work at the time either.

I've asked in their forums and plenty of places, and never found a solution.

This is the third major release where following the instructions to set up an input method doesn't work.

#zerocost #async: if a given codebase never waits for more than one event source (i.e.: if all futures are ancestors or descendants of all other futures), then no runtime overhead should exist when compared to a blocking implementation of the same logic.
