@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org E.g. ruby — it segfaults on building with - O3.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Does your mouse not feel a little claustrophobic in there? A prime example of rodent abuse, give it some space!

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @coolboymew Depends on implementation I guess. It's like everyone was trying to implement RCS as a database, Linus thought that filesystem-like approach will do a better job. In my opinion the idea was a piece of shit 😅, but as we see, it was implemented really well. Everyone uses git now, it does the job and it does it really fast.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @coolboymew Why would you even want folders on a phone? Folders are just an idiom for representing hierarchies, hierarchies are definitely not the best way to arrange images, audio or video. Tags will probably do a better job. E.g. you have photos of cats and photos of frogs, if you have both on the same photo, you can have both tags. You can imitate it with links/search folders/whatever, but all in all they just do not seem to be the right tool for the stuff you usually have on a phone.

Can you clean the keyboard so it looks clean on a photo?
Spoiler: no, you can't — no fur balls sticking out, still specks of dust and splashes here and there.

@evelyn Wait, what? Do they not actually mean Ally? As in name. 🤯

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Despite being somewhat of an asshole, the man did a lot of great things. Also git.
I still think we'd live in a better world had BSD took off earlier.

@JordiGH Long time ago there was a running joke about OS/2 that the new release would allow you to protect every byte of RAM with an individual password. Now we have an up to that standard level of network security 🤣

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org The community usually picks up the most inexpensive solution, Efika MX was pricey for its time (around €500), the other might have been that it was to early to hit this market. Those were the times when ARM hard float and soft float were still a thing and even the concept of device tree as a level of abstraction for the kernel wasn't there yet.

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org You just don't know how to strike the right balance with devices like this. I think it's pure luck. Efika MX by Genesi came out earlier than Pi and AFAIR had better hardware. As far as community support goes, it failed. There were a dozen of supported distros, but as soon as official support vaned no one did a thing with it. I've had Toshiba AC100 before that. It wasn't a board computer, but a complete ARM-based nettop. It also failed — it had one (!) compatible Ubuntu release.

@ZySoua So, a very fine black gentlecat and a scholar! My cats are not on par with their academic degrees, still, the most reading cat breed in the Eastern Europe.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Does it use hardware at all? I remember having frame rates like this in the nineties with software rendering. Well, not exactly 15 FPS, more like 2 😅

@ZySoua Ей удалось! 👌🏿

@evelyn Don't forget to start a ssh-server on alternative port so you can always have the last word 😈

@wizard If we speak of privacy, I think having companies like New Vector, Proton and Tutanota, Purism and System 76 helps a lot. They both spread awareness and make the privacy-oriented tech more accessible, so when someone thinks: "I'm fed up with Google",— they have choice: should I host my own e-mail server or should I pay for someone trustworthy to do it for me?
Even Google made a lot to make XMPP popular with their (now dead) Google.Talk 😂

@wizard You mean if someone is interested he should get pointed in the right direction? Yes, that is important.
TBH I was a bit surprised when Trump ban happened or when the more recent Elon Musk purchase of Twitter hit the news that *a lot* of Twitter users didn't even know Fedi existed. Even if they are looking for alternative, they are looking for some other site/app for everyone switch to, not for technology that makes interoperability possible 🤷

@wizard But do people in other spaces even want that? It's not like they aren't aware of the fact that people with more obscure opinions do exist, they are just not interested in them. Some people just like to post some lowest common denominator stuff and enjoy that a lot agree with them or strongly disagree and get triggered. Some prefer a non-linear RPG with multiple plot lines, some prefer… Subway Surfers. To each their own.

@evelyn Or act-on-a-whim pad.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Here is a good mini-guide that helped me familiarize myself with xbps-src: https://gist.github.com/Piraty/2e8c9fa86d4eb70f22efb9e0ecdda235
I advise you not to start building everything from source like Gentoo Stage1 and start with xbps-src binary-bootstrap, then build just the critical software. The default CFLAGS are rather sane in fact. Of course you can use xbps-src -N to ignore the binary repos, but some stuff takes crazy amounts of time to build, e.g. firefox, I only do it because it was broken on wayland for 3 releases(!)

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network You can add custom repos for binaries, there is an official repo for non-free stuff. The sources are like this: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages
It's just a git repo with all the scripts and templates in srcpkgs (smth like ebuilds in Gentoo). I use Void on PPC and PPC64 musl machines which are no longer officially supported so I use it mostly for fixing stuff that breaks, but of course you can add your custom stuff, commit, pull the changes from upstream and rebase your custom stuff — easy as that!
