Unix hacker. I do obscure and cursed things.

I hack on Darling, SerenityOS / Ladybird, GNU Hurd / glibc, wl-clipboard, Owl, etc.

I use GNOME, and contribute to freedesktop / GNOME projects sometimes (systemd, PipeWire, GLib, GTK, etc).

I like Rust and dislike Docker.

How fast can you type? Find out with my new app, Keypunch!

I've worked on this for the last couple of months, and it's finally out. Keypunch lets you practice your typing skills with automatically generated pseudo-text in your language of choice. Alternatively, you can supply it with your own text, such as song lyrics, Wikipedia articles, and quotes. Get ready to accelerate your typing speed!

I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.

So I started working on one myself :blobfoxfloofcofe:

0.5.3 has been released \o/

As a reminder: is the session manager and therefore the "brain" of . The later is intentionally kept simple, not handling anything policy related.

The version has one fix I'm particular happy about:
Fixed camera device deduplication logic when the same device is available
through both V4L2 and libcamera, and the libcamera one groups multiple V4L2
devices together.

Auto complete coming to Workbench 🛠️

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.

Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

Wanna watch my friend Sergey @bugaevc live code the Hurd tomorrow, Saturday
June 1st at 2pm UTC!? His goal is to update the Hurd port to AArch64 AND
to code a simple trivfs translator live. What cool simple trivfs
translator do you want to see him code (and run on AArch64)?

If you want to come, then at 2pm UTC, just point your modern web
browser at https://jitsi.member.fsf.org/Hurd-code-jam and we'll
have some fun! If there is a password, it'll be HURD. We will record the session! See you soon!

A lot of fork discussion is just “gotcha” people who show up to remind you that what you did is deeply unsafe because your process has threads, and of course fork only clones one thread into the child, which is both inherently obvious and also obvious to cause problems, duh

saagar,

So even though they aren’t using threads, someone library they use might be doing it. But they don’t use any libraries…except the system libraries, which just exist quietly most of the time, might be using threads. Now you’re just scared of anything and everything.

saagar,

Why doesn’t fork just copy all your threads over. Like, there is probably some dumb legacy reason for why fork(2) can’t do it. Why is there no threaded_fork_np(2) that does. I made it (should I release it?) and it seems to work for the most part. So, like…we should fix this?

C library functions are always like: "SYNOPISIS. This function converts foos into bars depending on the user locale. ARGUMENTS. src and dest pointers must be distinct; it is undefined behavior if they are not QPU-aligned. RETURN VALUE. Returns the number of foos converted. A zero value indicates failure, or that zero foos were converted. A negative value indicates that the final foo was only partially converted (function got tired). Check errno global to find out why."

@typeswitch it sounds bad BUT you can target this code to not work on multiple platforms in multiple distinct ways

just landed the last MR needed to make the + camera stack work on the and by default, using the new software ISP shipped in libcamera 0.3.
So if you have such a device: just update and go install apps like Snapshot, Warp, Decoder etc. You can even use it with Firefox and - very soon - Chromium.

Note that this does not replace or - those continue to be the default camera apps.

rmader,
@rmader@floss.social avatar

Note that with all of this in place, camera support on a lot of other devices is in close reach. For example the and should only need kernel patches enabling the camera sensors. The softwareISP should then - at least in theory - "just work". Well, fingers crossed :)

P.S.: the one device where this already worked is the - but until recently it broke audio. That was also fixed in the process.

Spotify with CSD, anyone?

Spotify has gotten an update to its desktop UI, and I'm once again going to argue that it would look so much better on a general basis if it used an integrated header bar on Linux systems. The app is practically begging for it.

Concept illustration of Spotify with CSD. The close button has been integrated into the header bar, and the app has gained rounded corners.
