I'd say not important, but in a way important to be able to do it without, just in case. Think of old Borland "IDEs", people used to code in only yellow text with no syntax highlighting. Sometimes the slowing down is benefici

Sorry, thought I had posted, but didn't get through. It's a T480 with the 72Wh and the 24Wh battery running on FreeBSD. Screen has also been replaced with a low power usage screen which helps a lot in saving battery while still gi

Maybe because there are many different set theories. The one taught in school is not a correct one but grokable for most students. Then you got the Zermeno Frenkel set theory, and you got the Homotopy Type Theory one which can yield or emul

I run an old T480 with FreeBSD and get about 17 hours of battery out of it. Sure, it’s a bit thicker but gets the job done as a daily driver.

by rootnod3 11mo ago
In daily practice you don't. Unless you host in a DC with lots of spam. Use small but trusted hosters. But as long as you get SSL/DKIM/SPF and the other stuff right, and it's not THAT difficult, then most hosters will le

by rootnod3 11mo ago
Honestly, get a small VM at openbsd.amsterdam or another good hoster and just do it yourself. OpenBSD has outstanding documentation, standing up SMTPD and Dovecot there is super simple, especially for a single user and not a whole group or

Alright, I see that line, but in what sense is that bad journalism? I could in the same vein call this out as a bad comment.

One could use encryption but most receiving users have not the faintest clue on how to use that. If most people would care, then I wouldn't give a flying fuck about what Google does because they can't read my mail even if they wan

Sorry, but that "doomsday" "alarmism" is exactly what is needed and warranted. But this practice of sneakily opting users in into things they don't want instead of a very clear full on pop up saying "We now use

Of course zones and jails win a bit there, because they get their own native networking stack on the kernel instead of going through bridges. Not much experience with Solaris zones, but FreeBSD jails and their vnets are amazingly good. They

Then at least I'd pick something as a project that you are interested in. Think of your favorite Clojure library and do it in Rust. Or think of specific Clojure features that you would love to use in Rust and get cracking on a library.

Honestly, if you have little interest in the language, then why do it? If it's to see if you might actually like it, pick anything, get a feel for it. Or do it in a language you actually have interest in. Why subject yourself to a lan

Yes, but I also think that the BSDs are the last bastions you will find any AI usage in. And I for one am grateful for that. I like it when my system comes with a complete set of manpages and good docs. But you mentioned Flox, which I didn&

I used to love both, Kubernetes and Nix. But after a few years of using both I felt like the abstraction levels are a bit too deep. Sure, it's easy to stand up a mail server in NixOS, or to just use docker/kubernetes to deploy stu

I open Gimp on a scratch workspace and immediately have my WM jump to it. How is that different from having to scroll to it? If I need a Gimp in every workspace I just open a Gimp in every workspace where I need one. Or even customize my Xm

If I an switch left and right via keyboard, why just not switch workspaces? I honestly don't see the point in the scrolling layout. Switched workspaces I know what is on each workspace, I can switch to it, see what's there. But th

I got good and bad news: my own WM did it Xmonad style, but I have not updated it in years. If there is enough request I might revive it (also X11 though, so not fitting the bill). See https://github.com/Kintaro/wtftw

Trust me, the majority of tiling WMs has on workspace for ALL monitors combined. The percentage of WMs treating every monitor as a separate unit is smaller. And sure, you can send message and commands to Niri via IPC, but that is very very

I honestly do not understand the scrolling WMs. The last thing I want to do is move my hand to my mouse to scroll. I tried them, didn't work for me. So yes, there's still a crowd of people hanging on to old tiling WMs and therefo

Apart from the Haskell fun, xmonad is really really good. Especially how it handles workspaces on multiple monitors. By default, each monitor has one workspace. Not one workspace for ALL monitors. So if your side screen has say documentatio

One can of course add the same stuff to other languages in form of libraries and stuff, but lisp/scheme make it incredibly easy to make it look like part of the language itself and make seem a mere extension of the language. So you can

That is where Lisp or Scheme weirdly shines. It is incredibly easy to add prolog to a Lisp or a Scheme. It’s almost as if it comes out naturally if you just go down the rabbit hole. “The little prover” is a fantastic book for that. The whol

So far it works pretty good. Minor edits I just quickly edit and tangle, otherwise I open the source block in a buffer (C-c '), and from there I can just use the usual C-c C-c shortcut to send it to the REPL. But as the first stage boo
