#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
@pixellight fellow side project burnout victim here, will be keeping an extra close eye 👀
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 🫠
@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.
Something's definitely off with me, today's the 2nd day in a row where I took an evening nap.
@timClicks if Nell's bunnies do not make an appearance I will be mildly disappointed :P
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?
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 😅
@fasterthanlime Looks like a PR is ~~stalled~~ open https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/17990
Edit: not exactly stalled
@lehtimaeki I don't think BlueSky is a broadcast channel anymore, plenty of people have talked about how they see more interaction on there compared to Twitter and Threads.
I think the people working on BlueSky are earnestly building a product that fills the gap Mastodon leaves by having incredibly bad moderation tools.
My concerns over their crypto funding and no clear plan of sustainability is keeping me away from the platform for now, but I think I would like it when this gets resolved.
Anyways that's fixed now and I'll try to get the release out in a few hours to let the person who reported it take a look

Tried being nice to tablet users with the new Claw UI then promptly forgot to add the navigation rail to it before shipping so they just can't access their saved posts :blobHelp:
Seems like the AndroidDev community has started congregating on BlueSky now, bit of a shame but I suppose it was inevitable.
@luna that's exactly my setup! There's docs on how to set it up correctly https://search.nüschtos.de/?scope=NixOS&option_scope=11&query=boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows&option=boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows.%3Cname%3E.efiDeviceHandle
@phaer Oh I should've linked the docs instead, that's my bad. Here it is: https://search.nüschtos.de/?scope=NixOS&option_scope=11&query=boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows&option=boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows.%3Cname%3E.efiDeviceHandle
TL;DR, yes you need a EFI shell.
@zkat doubling down by saying that this post wasn't anti-union is Some Shit.
Learned yesterday that #NixOS comes with the ability to add dual-boot options for Windows automatically into systemd-boot without needing any manual fiddling with the EFI, immediately switched over to it.

TIL there's a web app to visualize JMH benchmarks, this will be very helpful for my #Kotlin and #Java projects
Finally released a new build of Claw for Lobsters!
Fixes some issues with state handling and adds a new tablet friendly UI (albeit a little wonky but better than the status quo)

@neil @gnome reading that thread is making me reconsider using GNOME altogether if these are the people building it.
@shinmera I've had this on an older phone, it ended up being a problem with the earthing in one specific outlet that was causing current to kinda "leak" to the phone's metallic shell and mess with the touchscreen.
Might be worth trying a different outlet to rule it out.
Finally managed to find a workaround for the #RustLang problem I was having with `cargo publish` picking up files from my gitignore-d `.direnv` directory and complaining about them being uncommitted.
This was the result of cascading surprises: setting `package.includes` causes gitignore to no longer be considered, and `"README.md"` in `package.includes` actually works like `"**/README.md"`' and picks up the READMEs from the repositories in `.direnv/flake-inputs/`.

@shinmera I'm glad I saw this, did not know of Shaun but I already like him!
The fact that this is how I found out that bitching about Hephaestus' wheelchair was A Thing tells me that I'm keeping good company online these days.
In less mentally taxing news the new #KendrickLamar album is a banger
I can't put into words how I feel when attending the weddings of friends who I've known since before I was an adult. It's a weird mix of pride and happiness but also some sadness and regret about neglecting my own personal life and not having anyone to share it with.
Maybe I'll grow to change that someday, maybe I'll come to realise that I've been isolated out of choice and not neglect. That's what I have a therapist for I suppose :D
I don't know how I've managed this, but my PC's #Nix installation is no longer able to do network operations and always fails with a cURL error "Failed to open/read local data from file/application". Heavily regretting my choice to prioritise a clean systemd-boot screen over having older generations I could restore to.
Edit: passing `-vvvvv` to Nix revealed this was actually a cURL regression that was being misreported by Nix https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/15496
Every time I think #ArcaneS2 has peaked the show just hits a new high. Act 2 is incredible and I cannot wait for next week
Circuit is looking to make a stable release and is soliciting feedback on remaining gaps and warts before they commit to a stable API

#AndroidDev
The usual round of broken extensions after every major GNOME release makes me realize that nearly all of my interactions with the DE rely on stuff GNOME doesn't have. Maybe I don't really like GNOME after all...
@lehtimaeki Even without the Elon 🤢 mention this is just so cringe I would not wanna reply anyway
@shinmera I also got this templated garbage about one of my projects which this person had indexed a week after I had officially archived it, truly genius level intellect.
I've been hacking on my #blog a fair bit lately and one thing I've had to do again and again is to diff the built output against the baseline that's already in production. Wanted to shout out @gnome's Meld for being an incredibly featureful diffing solution which made it an absolute breeze:
@AzulCrescent Specifying my age on my website is the only thing that has allowed me to remember it 😅
@JenJen I've had a great experience with Porkbun in the past 2-3 years. Namecheap was also okay when I last tried them 5-6 years ago.
@zachklipp https://github.com/JakeWharton/cite
Finally started using bacon (https://github.com/Canop/bacon) for my #rustlang development and it has improved every aspect of it without needing even a single line of configuration. Using just one key stroke to do any of build/test/clippy/check/run is a massive productivity boost.
Thanks for your amazing work @dystroy 🙏
@misty well...🤦
I completely missed that announcement, thanks for the info!
@misty I follow a bunch of bots that run on https://botsin.space/about, they seem to be nice people
@fasterthanlime usual wave of "Twitter did something dumb" exodus. Hopefully a little more permanent *this time*.
@zsmb13 reading this makes me wonder if there are Gradle users building up an init script of absolutely banal task aliases like how people have a whole thing of bash aliases in their dotfiles...
@lehtimaeki Given the very successful track record of "just one more lane bro" I'm sure this will completely resolve the traffic issue for eternity. 🤦
Finally pulled the trigger on archiving Android Password Store
https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store/discussions/3260
@JenJen Artistic nudity being allowed on the platform got *immediately* abused to hell and high heaven so I can't really say I blame Twitch for going back on it. It definitely is rough being an NSFW artist online, and I fully sympathize with the constant struggle it is just to be visible.
Regarding the ToS update, best I can do is refer you to this ~10 minute video that explains the individual changes very well. The goalposts really haven't moved.
@JenJen FWIW these are not new rules, it's clarifications on existing ones that lacked explanations. Honestly VTubers very frequently tow the line and I for one prefer there being more explicitly laid out examples of what does not fly.
@pixellight finally, some Eva New Technology :blobSip:
Wrote a quick #blog post about deploying a #Docker app to Fly without using Docker itself, mostly because I wanted to finally figure out how. Yes, #Nix is involved ;)

@jalcine@todon.eu I can reproduce the same problem across many sites, it's pretty frustrating.
@samueldr it definitely gets clicks but at some point you have to realize you've recreated the Nazi bar problem without the bartender's awareness.
@samueldr At this point I am fully of the believe that Phoronix actively panders to these people. The title on that post is literally written to bait in these weirdos. The release has far more important things that could've been mentioned but Michael chose to make "don't write deprecated fields into settings" The Big Thing.
