LOL. Let me guess “just use Emacs/vim”?
No thank you bruv. Been there, done that. Terrible experience.

All of these emulated only a fraction of the power of IDEs, even after weeks of trying to get them configured properly.
Inb4 “you’re doing it wrong”. Nah mate, IDEs work out of the box and don’t require opening a text file to change settings while going through reams of documentation.
I right click in a file and it shows me the most important contextual commands. No need to find the " leader key", scroll through all the 1 billion commands, I don’t have to “download a LSP and DAP” then “configure treesitter” or whatever the fuck kind of apes are in the editor.
Those editors have steep learning curves and get you productive eventually. IDEs get you there much more quickly. Yeah yeah, they hide complexity and “people don’t know what’s actually going on anymore” but sometimes I just want to get going instead of fighting my editor first. Feel me?
Meanwhile: vim and Emacs users, constantly installing and configuring plugins to emulate a fraction of the power of IDEs, go “just use vim/Emacs”.
EDIT: It does work. My (GNU) libc spits out version info when executed as an executable.
How does that work? There must be something above

Python seems to expose it because a file can be a library and an executable at the same time.
Can someone explain to me how to compile a C library with “main” and a program with main? How does executing a program actually work? It has an executable flag, but what actually happens in the OS when it encounters a file with an executable file? How does it know to execute “main”? Is it possible to have a library that can be called and also executed like a program?
2·1 month agoI’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
My problem isn’t the hardware, it’s that the place I’m moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.
My problem is that I’m moving in the not so far future and I don’t know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it’ll be worthless due to encryption. But if it’s in somebody’s datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I’d have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.
I’m considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I’m not sure they’d be up for it.
How would you solve the problem?
Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?
As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There’s also starlabs byte.
Take your pick :)
4·1 month agoSure, the anticapitalists won’t be anticapitalistic. That’s just an excuse not to vote “they’re both the same”, then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.

Of course I don’t. Maybe I should’ve said “never met anybody obviously like this”. Nobody knows about my political leanings or sexual preferences at work either.
Don’t want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won’t be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.
Oh, my comment was more that compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit. Windows may be the worst to compile on, but Linux is only marginally better.
Rust is amazing though.
“It’s so easy to compile C/C++ apps on Linux”
“Just run make install”
“If it doesn’t work, fuck you, it worked on my machine”
🤣 it hath bean beeholden !
I have yet to meet a furry or trans IT person IRL. Is there just a higher concentration of them across the pond? Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?
I don’t think suckless is full of silicon tower elitists glorifying a dead programming language, the joke wasn’t for you.
That knowledge is gone. Everything is a web app running JavaScript in a browser. We don’t need to be encumbered by pesky things like pages and folders. 😋
