@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool!

Also, I think the EU is doing a great job with the recent laws regarding Microsoft and Apple! (Uninstallable default apps, sideloading and USB-C for Apple Products)

What do you think of Typescript removal from Rails?

Actually, it’s outputting bullshit most of the times.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m porting https://github.com/kyx0r/nextvi to 9front.

@prologic@twtxt.net They suck bad! Artificial stupidity as I said. Real problem with ChatGPT is to discover when it’s actually outputting bullshit because it’s outputting it in a very convincing way, but in the end it’s still bullshit. Maybe that’s why they call it “intelligence”, because he’s good at lying to us.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I so wouldn’t want to delete this :

view, layout

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was theming gtk 2.0 apps in OpenBSD.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m really happy with cwm.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

(Nope, that’s not Twitter.)

lol

Lol, just visited https://www.gnome-look.org/, I believe I haven’t been there in more than a decade! :D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

My XDG_STATE_HOME directory doesn’t even exist, no program has created it.

$XDG_STATE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific state files should be stored. If $XDG_STATE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/state should be used.

The $XDG_STATE_HOME contains state data that should persist between (application) restarts, but
that is not important or portable enough to the user that it should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME. It may contain:

actions history (logs, history, recently used files, …)

current state of the application that can be reused on a restart (view, layout, open files, undo history, …)

I don’t believe it’s a good idea to wipe it.

$ cat /etc/fstab
...
swap /home/adi/var/cache mfs rw,-s512M,noatime,nosuid,nodev 1 0

and https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-12-15-openbsd-mfs-persistency.html for XDG_CACHE_HOME.

@mckinley@twtxt.net What “annoying” software packages specfically? :P

Stumbled on this on lobste.rs:

https://github.com/focus-editor/focus

focus

Can’t run it tho.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

export XDG_DATA_HOME=~/share
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/etc
export XDG_STATE_HOME=~/local/state
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=~/var/cache
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=~/var/run

@prologic@neotxt.dk Yeah I believe the “I don’t have time” excuse it’s just sweeping the dust under the carpet.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I believe the “works on my machine” problem is solved by understanding why it works on my machine and not on another.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I’m not a big fan of docker.

@markwylde@twtxt.net

My outgoing mail will pass the basic checks at Gmail, namely SPF, DKIM and DMARC, which are more than enough to get your mail through.

It’s in the article.

@markwylde@twtxt.net It’s not that hard https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Joke aside, I remember enjoying Ubuntu with Gnome 2, now it just seems bloated. Most Linux distros seem bloated.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just go with the solution that sucks less.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d just go with radicale or kcaldav în this situation.

@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe install the server and a separate web app of your preference. Or use Gmail as a client if it works?

@prologic@twtxt.net See https://www.sogo.nu/, it looks it has an web app.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, I personally wouldn’t want a web app, just use whatever client you prefer.

@prologic@twtxt.net Other options https://kristaps.bsd.lv/kcaldav/, https://www.sogo.nu/ or https://sabre.io/baikal/ PHP, I wouldn’t use.

@prologic@twtxt.net Have no experience with it! :(

I see this recommended as solution for calendar and contacts https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2023-04-23-calendar-and-contacts-with-radicale.html

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly! :D

@prologic@twtxt.net

What Calendar and Contacts?

I have no experience with calendar and contacts, just email, and it’s really good.

I think we have very different ideas of what “operational complexity” means.

Maybe, what’s your definition?

@prologic@twtxt.net Just use Gmail as an email client, lol “operational complexity”, just configure the thing one time and have it run for years!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I belive Linux as a desktop sucks more now than in 1996! :D

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I have no experience with F-Droid! Is their app inventory decent?

@prologic@twtxt.net

Google/Android garbage

@prologic@twtxt.net https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/ I skipped the rspamd part.

@prologic@twtxt.net https://www.opensmtpd.org/ for email! I’ve been running mine for more than an year!

@prologic@twtxt.net What’s the solution to Google/Android garbage?

@prologic@twtxt.net To having to buy a new phone every year for instance?

I wonder why people didn’t settle on XDG_CONFIG_HOME as ~/etc. Makes so much sense!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Let’s say that for me personally it’s an option that sucks less.

Self as in the user repairs his own phone.

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s the new model of Fairphone? :D It’s self upgradable and repairable, not sure about the upgradable part.

I remember as a teenager thinking of Republica as the other Garbage :D

Oh btw all, Fairphone 5 is out https://www.fairphone.com/en/, I remember @jlj@twt.nfld.uk was interested in it! :D

@prologic@twtxt.net

Trying to 😆

Ah, the subtle difference between “trying” and “doing”! :D

Also, I’ll never take responsibility for other people’s expectations! I do what I do, work as I work, am as I am, never do what should do, work as I should work, be as I should be.

Ok, broke off my relationship with the guys I developed the driver for. They’re using a C framework which I find super crappy (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) and I do plain C.

I developed the driver in plain C.

Not sure about the licensing tho.
