`git add -p` is more awesome than the commit split!

Snix

Tell me you have OCD without telling me you have OCD

Nix (more specifically: NixOS) literally fixes this. /etc/ is immutable and is just set to a symlink into a /nix/store path, so anything that breaks /etc is completely reversible

nvim-treesitter is archived now i guess

pls dont be dicks to open source devs :/

add custom syscalls... crash your whole system... corrupt your filesystem... the possibilities are endless!

Calling Nix inside a derivation

learn it?

Anthropic uses Nix?

CISOs when you fail the phishing email test Please commit seppuku by sunset tomorrow.

Prometheus says “hot take” and Greek gods respond “no give that back.”

sed -i @$NIXPKGS_CHKOUT/pkgs@pkgs@

So I did a `git -C $NIXPKGS_CHKOUT log --oneline -- $NIXPKGS_CHKOUT/pkgs | grep 'bazel.* -> 5.4.0'` and it gave me commit `c8bc2f2c0d`.

And now I can get it with a simple `nix shell github:nixos/nixpkgs?rev=c8bc2f2c0d#bazel_5`.

That's so fucking cool man

When I say I love Nix for reproducibility, I mean real reproducibility, none of that "we ship a tarball of dependencies and run in a cgroup and call it a day" BS.

At work, I needed bazel 5.4.0 and I couldn't find a way to get it on my Fedora 43 work-provided workstation.

Every day I am filled with hate because my heart overflows with my love of the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-h...

it kills me that people try to pretend that python is even remotely a good software development ecosystem

python is fucking. BULLSHIT

they don't even have a central documentation platform or framework or even useful types. it's just fuckin a few examples and that's all you get. not worth a damn

what if I need to turn off the remote itself?

Since we’re not superstitious, the 13th edition of KR will take place September 21–23, 2026 (black cats strictly forbidden during this edition — even on a leash… 😄). We hope to see loads of you there!

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.

Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.

Hooman likey squigly lines

USB SUPERSPEED!!!

RAM: you're too touchy

damn this bleach anime is something else huh

Slide showing the $225k grant received by the eBPF Foundation from the Alpha-Omega project and what it will be used for. The slide mentions enabling KASAN, security reviews of the main JIT compilers, checking the verifier-to-JIT integrity, and an assessment of unprivileged surfaces.

At #LinuxPlumbers, @breakawaybilly.bsky.social presented what the eBPF Foundation is doing, where its funds are going, and asked the attendees what should be next.

Proton Pass' CLI in operation, a terminal window sits on a gradient background.

The Proton Pass CLI, which was recently released as a beta, is now officially launched!

Enable faster workflows, reduce context switching, and implement secure automation across local development, servers, and CI/CD environments with this new and secure Command Line Interface.

The users are people who couldn't satisfy their OCD with Arch Linux (me). Nix being always reproducible is the big feature for me. Hermatic builds with flakes are another level of upgrade.
