@csepp@merveilles.town

Mostly doing #guix #programming and #lowpoly #3d #art . Interested in learning stuff. Many stuffs.
Also likes: running, dogs, running with dogs, and headpats.

If you're wondering why I faved but didn't boost your art, add an image description.

csepp, to demoscene

Following the #demoscene tag is quite nice except for all the AI art crap. :)

Phanpy is fricking awesome and makes me wonder what the heck the Mastodon devs are doing and why the web UI is still so blergh.

csepp, to guix

Consider: #Guix / #Nix shared hosting where the cost of storing a store item is shared between the users that depend on it.
Maybe with the new Shepherd on Goblins integration a shared guix-daemon could work.

csepp,

@shtwzrd Yeah, it definitely should not be turned into another cryptocurrency.
Spot-checking builds is a good idea though.
Offloading doesn't make sense in a shared hosting environment, since the provider already owns all the compute resources. But sharing compute costs for builds could work.
I've been trying to figure out how to do that though. Maybe bill users at the end of the month and divide the cost a build among the users who requested it.

Q&A sections of conference recordings are like Jeopardy. You only know the answer and good luck trying to figure out what the question was, because I guess passing a mic to the asker is not something anyone plans for.

Ooooh waking up to happy news is great: Voyager 1 is sending usable data again!

Super cool – the whole chip responsible for data encoding was a goner, so they separated the code sections out into other free memory. (22.5h is hell of an input lag.)

csepp,

@rixx I love reading about programming heroics like this.

csepp, to guix

Could or be modified to not require ever greater amounts of storage? Like, maybe just using shallow clones, or Merkle logs instead of linear git histories, or something?

csepp, to debian

Just when I switch my netbook to #Debian I find out that they too are going to drop 32 bit support. :sadlinux:
Do I take my chances with a community supported Debian port or do I distro hop?

csepp, to firefox

I enabled "always underline links" in and it un-fucked so many websites.
Take note folks thinking about not underlining links and only using color to distinguish them.

csepp, to debian

with Flashback is actually pretty damn cozy. Firefox ESR runs surprisingly well too, on a nonetheless.
I think I'll make this my low-effort can-actually-get-work-done-on-this setup.

csepp,

I might add the Regolith repos to it later, if they have a 32 bit repo, that is. (They damn well should, none of their software has a good excuse for being amd64-only.)

Tired of this: "learn C so you can understand how a computer really works."

So much of modern computers is not visible from C (pipelining, virtual memory, branch prediction, cache misses, etc).

I guess what they mean is, "you learn about pointers and consecutive memory locations"? How is that helpful for programming in other languages without pointers?

C teaches you an abstraction of computers based on the PDP-11. It's interesting, but it's not essential.

@shauna @agocke @nedbat @f4grx @pkhuong Re: unknown unknowns: it's hard to write efficient code if you don't have at least some idea of lower layers.
See frontend devs who only know React and have no clue about standard HTML elements.
You might not need C itself, but you should know about how native code is executed and how the kernel works. You can get that from Rust or C++ too.

csepp,

@shauna @agocke @nedbat @f4grx @pkhuong Sadly it's all too easy to keep lower layers shrouded in mystery if all you care about is supporting a narrow niche of users that are similar to you.
If you want your code to run on lower powered devices or to be accessible to others, you need to dig into lower layers.

The Intercept: #OpenAI quietly deleted its ban on "military and warfare" applications from its permissible uses policy in a revision this week #AI

csepp,

@exador23 With Peter Thiel being so invested in the company, this was 100% inevitable.

Consider: implementation that uses the same filter lists but works as a streaming HTML parser/serializer.

Hmm... actually, @alcinnz how easy would it be to use your Haskell CSS selector implementation with a lazy larser to implement this? 🤔

Since the PinePhone is still not reliable enough as a phone I'm considering buying a repairable smartphone, but I think I'll just keep using the PinePhone alongside a dumbphone, because I know that having a convenient smartphone would mostly just be a distraction.

Thirty years ago, I used the holidays to rewrite our in-house 3d tool from scratch, based on specs and design I worked on for a year. On January 2nd 1994, the first version was running!
I'm incredible proud, humbled and impressed of where it went. Happy 30th birthday :)

csepp,

@tonroosendaal Blender continues to be the most impressive copyleft software project in my eye. UwU
Thanks to everyone working on it and answering questions on forums and making tutorials and assets. :flan_cheer:

csepp, to mastodon

My least favorite feature is how images are often smaller in the lightbox than on the timeline. :flan_facepalm:
Is there any fork / patch that fixes this? 15 year old websites have better gallery viewers.

csepp, to RaspberryPi

Welp, my Thinkpad refuses to power on (hopefully just a charger issue) so now I'm using my 3 B+ as a desktop, because my actual desktop draws way too much power.
It's okayish, the biggest performance bottleneck is probably its HDD, but a bigger issue is that sometimes half its USB ports don't come online at boot, including the one connected to its Ethernet port.
I don't think I'd buy another Pi.

csepp,

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of the setup, I only used hardware I had lying around and it runs Alpine with a full Gnome (Wayland) desktop.
The HDD is connected through a disemboweled Western Digital external HDD's SATA-USB board, I had to hack the initramfs to wait for it to show up at boot. The HDD itself was scavenged from a machine that was headed to a landfill.
I hope to add another/a bigger HDD and use it as a storage server for my family.
