This is to announce that I am moving away from X to Mastodon. @CodingThunder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@CodingThunder is where I will be active now, and not here. Also this is probably my last day here. Just logged in to post this #mastodon

systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

@brain_nullptr @schteppe In fact I find it more of Google wanted to make abseil the STL, and so they decided to do anyways. No one bothers about it, and the problems it solves are very Google way of solving problems.. Solves it for them and is a pain in the ass for others

@brain_nullptr @schteppe Ah Carbon, I haven't seen it being adopted at all anywhere. In fact I just checked it's project page after the time I did in it's initial announcement, and the language is still marked as "experimental"

It’s happening, just slowly. Speed up the transition by finding nasty 0days. Keep hacking!

@C11_Otter @schteppe Shouldn't it actually depend on MMU? Since that's what at the end converts the virtual memory address to physical memory address transparently? Or am I not understanding the topic correctly?

@CodingThunder @schteppe It's all just numbers, and the kernel decides what the virtual memory mappings are. AFAIK, there are some actual embedded devices (think like arduinos) that have 0 as a proper useful address of some sort.

C++ lacks a “segfault” keyword

@C11_Otter @schteppe Oh didn't knew that 0 could be usable. This makes sense! Kinda opened up my brain on how things work!

@CodingThunder @schteppe *Technically* any address might be valid on some architecture. AFAIK, even 0 is valid on x86-64 if the kernel decides to make it so (TempleOS?). You'd have to have a syscall or something that probes the page table for an invalid address to reliably create a segfault.

@C11_Otter @schteppe You know you can instead also try to dereference some funny address like 0xc00ffee :) Like true undefined behaviour whether it'll segfault is undefined unless you run it.

@schteppe #define segfault *(int*)0 = 1;

When the time came to oppose stupid laws, seems like the foss community is deciding to bend over. github.com/systemd/system… github.com/flatpak/xdg-de… I don't get why the fuck is this a discussion in the first place

@oxcrowx I too invented integration from the very grounds up in grade 10. Showed it off to my math teacher, he said it's calculus. Was really disappointed none the least, but atleast I didn't go ahead and write a paper about it like my own invention :)

Once a doctor re-invented integration by trapezoidal rule because she did not learn it in school. She received 75 citations for her novel work. She even named it after herself. lol.

Absolutely wild that @Steam releases their CDN statistics online for all: store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ This is surely a lot of data for a lot of people who are hosting CDNs to actually be a threat in terms of competitiveness.

@kayareyouokay_ Will also shit their pants when told to explain how DNS/BGP/any other core internet protocol works. They don't even have a surface level knowledge of the matter

CS students will spend 4 years studying and still not know how to deploy a website.

@vaxryy Nah, don't make it pure lua. Would make the migrations very painful. There are already a lot of undocumented quirks in my config, which are not in Hyprland Wiki, but work, don't want to deal with any of that nonsense in Lua

honestly atp we might just make the config pure lua. Transition period of like 2 major releases, small utilities stay hyprlang. There's so much we're trying to pack into hyprland that I don't think a config language makes sense anymore. Yay or nay?

@Leangphok It's part of BSD, not standard libc. So be careful where you use it. Glibc does provide an implementation but not all libc will

i just found out about strsep() like 2 minutes ago and it's the best function in string.h

@DjMolehill @valigo Well it makes sense considering you need unique memory addresses for different indices of an array of structs. What's wild is they are doing this now, after so many years!

@valigo fr, empty structs being 1 byte is wild

BREAKING: In an attempt to make C even more compatible with C++, C27 will have empty structs be size of 1 byte instead of 0. Our redaction contacted ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 but so far received no response. We will keep closely monitoring the situation.

@MoCA_GoI Nice initiative for carrying of instruments. Really appreciate it!

The Ministry has issued the following directions through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA): 1. Minimum 60% of seats on any flight to be allocated free of charge to ensure fair access 2. Passengers travelling on the same PNR to be seated together, preferably in adjacent seats 3. Carriage of sports equipment and musical instruments to be facilitated in a transparent and passenger-friendly manner, subject to applicable safety and operational regulations. Airlines shall also bring out clear, transparent policies for carriage of pets. 4. Strict adherence to passenger rights framework, particularly in cases of delays, cancellations and denied boarding 5. Prominent display of passenger rights across airline websites, mobile applications, booking platforms, and airport counters 6. Clear communication of passenger entitlements in regional languages to ensure wider accessibility and awareness The Ministry of Civil Aviation remains committed to enhancing passenger experience, ensuring transparency, reducing grievances and upholding the highest standards of safety across the aviation ecosystem. @RamMNK @mohol_murlidhar @samirsinha69 @AAI_Official @DGCAIndia @Pib_MoCA pib.gov.in/PressReleseDet…

Meanwhile in Brazil: Arch Linux has to suspend access from Brazil because kids could use Arch Linux, or something, and something about pedophiles. I actually have no idea what the politicians are even saying anymore. It's all bullshit and it's fucking over FOSS.

@levelsio Haha, the VPS servers I maintain have exposed SSH properly as it's used by a bunch of users and are configured properly. If you can't configure a server properly, it's called skill issue

You should never ever expose a VPS to the entire internet Always firewall it to subnets If you host a website you should only allow port 443 (HTTPS) inbound from Cloudflare's IP range / subnets Port 22 (SSH) only from your Tailscale subnet range That means you create a "tunnel" from Cloudflare and Tailscale (your laptop) to your server's door You still need your SSH key to open the door btw If you don't, ANYONE in the entire world can connect to your VPS and if there's just one security vulnerability and you didn't upgrade your VPS you can get hacked If you do have it firewalled with Tailscale subnet only, it means only if they hack your laptop they could get in via your Tailscale there Another thing is ask OpenClaw or Claude Code to enable unattended upgrades with auto reboot

I hate compiler optimizations for inline functions when I'm debugging. I hate compiler optimizations for inline functions when I'm debugging. I hate compiler optimizations for inline functions when I'm debugging.

@levelsio Use NeoVim/Vim with terminal buffers, should work way better

I hate tmux It's so incredibly user unfriendly The shortcuts make no sense I wish someone would make a better tmux Even just logging into tmux attaching the screen is an illogical hell to type Again I hate tmux, it's so shit

@nmatt0 Uninstall and get rid of that crap. Works really well

I need all developers to understand that I'm going to come at you so much harder if you do crap like this.
