Happy New Year everyone!
Public · 2024-12-31 19:13+00:00 Public · 2024-12-31 16:37+00:00 Public · 2024-12-31 16:36+00:00 Watched my first HoloCountdownLive today, absolute cinema.
Public · 2024-12-31 08:58+00:00 @david_chisnall Reading your original post finally made me realize I too was not getting anything good out of the "free" Copilot, so off with it.
Public · 2024-12-31 06:53+00:00 I have today and tomorrow off work and not the faintest idea what to do with myself
Public · 2024-12-30 11:02+00:00 Since I'm gonna be using this full time I decided to stop being lazy and updated my #Nix package for Phanpy to build it from source
Public · 2024-12-30 10:17+00:00 Switched to a self-hosted instance of #Phanpy after many months with Tuba. The convenience of a native app is great but I just prefer Phanpy's UI much more, and the catch-up feature is unparalleled.
Public · 2024-12-30 08:52+00:00 Achievement unlocked: wrote my first arguably pointless #RustLang macro
Public · 2024-12-29 14:11+00:00 For example, here's how you would configure this for #zed
Public · 2024-12-29 14:10+00:00 TIL: #Git has its own version of $EDITOR - $GIT_EDITOR - that it looks up with a higher priority, which means it is possible to optionally set a different editor for your Git commit messages/rebase to-do's than everything else.
One specific place where it's useful is integrated terminals inside IDEs, which often allow you to inject additional environment variables and thus you can set $GIT_EDITOR there to edit commit messages from the IDE while using the Git CLI

Public · 2024-12-27 19:40+00:00 @uncenter that's so much better, thank you!
Public · 2024-12-27 19:16+00:00 @chirpbirb Mozilla is "neutral" on it which they've defined as
`neutral - Mozilla is not convinced of the merits of this work, but does not see any significant negative potential.`
I wouldn't hold out hope.
Public · 2024-12-27 18:50+00:00 Realising now that this was a little _too_ quick and won't handle booleans properly, for now you can just encode them as strings yourself to sidestep the issue and I'll try to remember to fix it in the morning 😅
Public · 2024-12-27 18:30+00:00 @chirpbirb the old reliable "nerds can figure it out themselves" distribution channel
Public · 2024-12-27 18:28+00:00 · edited 2024-12-27 19:52+00:00 Decided to try out #Ghostty for a while and put together this quick home-manager module for any other #NixOS users also interested in it.
Edit: updated to a simpler and more robust version thanks to a suggestion from uncenter@fosstodon.org
Public · 2024-12-27 07:13+00:00 cargo-release has an `allow-branch` configuration option that can help if you use it.
Public · 2024-12-26 17:48+00:00 I need to work on getting my exercise consistency back up, it's been a little too lax the past couple weeks...
Public · 2024-12-24 19:49+00:00 Merry Christmas!
Public · 2024-12-24 12:46+00:00 @botteaap yeah in my own experience with Copilot both GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 struggled similarly with stuff I was asking, Claude just seemed to more consistently generate plausible looking code.
Public · 2024-12-24 08:11+00:00 So many ideas and no drive to work on them, what a shame
Public · 2024-12-24 08:04+00:00 Some days I feel like a spectator of my own life
Public · 2024-12-20 10:28+00:00 I think I like Flatpak...
Public · 2024-12-13 11:27+00:00 #Nix might be the only language where I've had to read the documentation for a toString function because I would never think that booleans would be handled by false returning an empty string and true returning "1".
Shout out to my one hour of debugging basic shell comparisons for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/364871
Public · 2024-12-12 20:24+00:00 @pixellight fellow side project burnout victim here, will be keeping an extra close eye 👀
Public · 2024-12-12 13:10+00:00 I hate the winter so much, the bed looks so cozy and I instantly fall asleep as soon as I get in. For this whole week I've gotten out of bed in the morning, gone through the morning routine then settled back in for an extra couple hours 🫠
Public · 2024-12-10 20:07+00:00 @yosh only if it can be overridden during build with something like an environment variable, but for reproducibility by default yeah it's not a good idea.
Public · 2024-12-10 15:54+00:00 Something's definitely off with me, today's the 2nd day in a row where I took an evening nap.
Public · 2024-12-10 10:54+00:00 @timClicks if Nell's bunnies do not make an appearance I will be mildly disappointed :P
Public · 2024-12-09 13:41+00:00 Stayed up gaming till 5AM for one night and 3 days later I'm still feeling the ruin in my sleep schedule. Am I old already?
Public · 2024-12-07 14:59+00:00 Started a running log of random #NixOS related stuff I've learned over the years, will try to keep it reasonably up-to-date with my Logseq graph but no promises 😅
