This is not how it works for me. When I was unemployed, I was absolutely not bored, having time to finish projects I've shelved left and right, however useless they were. Doing things in the off-hours with a 9-to-5 job is much, much ha

As a side-note, the snap vs flatpak war is essentially canonical vs everyone else. It's easy enough to install flatpak on ubuntu distros, it's harder to install snap on some other distros where flatpak works wonders. If you'r

AppImages are still widely used, it's just that the tooling surrounding them sucks. At the end of the day, they're glorified zip files, not much different to self-extracting .exe files, and you'll have to figure out what libr

The even funnier thing is, Gmail supports standard mail protocols, and can be interacted with using just about any mail client, and Twitter has a billion custom clients for it as well. The problem is that Google is hiding the SMTP/IMAP

Since the 3ds/wiiu, games are signed, and these signatures are difficult if not impossible to forge. This makes it really easy to verify whether a dump is correct, at least for the encrypted portions of a cartridge.

It decodes the content of the packets. The game boy serial port essentially executes a transfer in both directions at the same time, so the other side has to have its data ready by the time the transfer starts. Making this generic over the

From what I gather, _Atomic alone will not ensure that the variable contents are actually loaded every time you load them, and can optimize loops away as a result. You'll often want both.

I'm not sure arch stores it in an explicit file, but pacman -Qe lists all explicitly installed packages, and anything not required will be listed in pacman -Qdt Now, it is nice that "apk del" and such automatically takes care

These days it can be chained with _Atomic to achieve the desired effect. That said, oftentimes you need more serious synchronization mechanisms your library would provide.

I'm not sure how my statements are contradictory. The solutions people suggest to solve a problem aren't necessarily the ones they use. Most people aren't as bothered by the issue as I am, and as such won't need to solve

--buildpkgonly doesn't work for any packages whose dependencies aren't already fully satisfied, including being up-to-date. You simply cannot use --buildpkgonly for a world update save for the very trivial transactions, for which

The commenter might be alluding to how f-droid allows adding additional repositories that may contain proprietary apps. However, that's completely irrelevant since the issue is about including this app in the primary repository, which

On Android, it's often impossible to replace the chrome webview. The only way to do so is by modifying the system's whitelist for webviews. On linux and other platforms, apps get a choice of what webview they use, be it qtwebengin

This is unfortunately the reality, and the primary reason why I prefer ecosystems with a higher barrier of entry to publish your library or program on, like linux distributions. Libraries simply don't get on there unless there's a

ccache is not a suitable replacement for a stable ABI that allows binaries to be reused across systems.

Using key-based auth without encrypting the key with a password sounds like a bad idea, as then any program running on the host can trivially gain root privileges.

Sudo's -i option is able to provide you with a shell in the same state that it'd be if it were a fresh login. I've burned this into my fingers a long time ago. Also, in most configurations you have to specifically whitelist e

The paragraph quoted is about the language choice, too, just that part was snipped off because it's long. It's one ball of a paragraph that goes in all directions, citing debian and gentoo's troubles with rust support[1] and

I said "spotty", not nonexistent. Many distributions patch around the lack of suitable support by vendoring all dependencies and locking their versions, making it hard to see the dependency graph from the package manager, scan for

Or maybe it's because the tooling's lacking, the support in linux distributions is spotty, some architectures aren't supported, is complex to interoperate and integrate with build systems, or any of the above? There's pl
