@nprofile…8m52 @nprofile…euty wdym by "worth it"? I think constraining code optimization to file boundaries, while it may have been practical to save resources, doesn't make a lot of sense conceptually. Letting the optimizer operate on everything is a no-brainer and an easy win imo. It might've uncovered some bugs in the past but by now all linux distros and modern languages enable it by default (in release mode).
I've seen it remove parameters and inline the entire program in some of my projects. It's crazy.

@nprofile…8m52 @nprofile…euty I'm not sure how useful I find compiling+assembling being separate anymore seeing the massive hacks implemented to get LTO to function.

@nprofile…euty @nprofile…8m52 There's no reason for a C compiler to not compile straight to machine code. Popular ones doing so is an implementation detail and a bit of unix heritage - now you have to define the instruction set in multiple places *and* a language to interface with the assembler.
I do agree it helps with debugging and make implementing asm() statements trivial, but I've seen commercial C compilers skip the assembler before (providing a disassembler for debugging instead).

In the den. Straight up "jammin to it". And by "it", haha, well. Let's just say, keygen music.

@nprofile…8m52 I would've loved a gentoo install CD that's just a stage3+portage tree+enough sources to build kernel+KDE, that goes "insert source code disk 3" during install, lol

2026-07-06 20:25:20 UTC

TIL portage supports installing software from CDROMs, complete with an "Insert next CD and press ENTER" prompt

@nprofile…csf7 @nprofile…8m52 You guys might be on to something, this sounds useful.

Every time someone suggests that dynamic linking or ABI stability isn't necessary, I want them to consider that they're making me deal with things like a python package that pulls and builds the entirety of v8 as part of its build procedure.

@nprofile…8m52 Yeah, while he was everpresent in the MLP community, after dropping it for contractual obligations he peaked even harder with his FNAF stuff, and is ever so popular nowadays, so I understand when people go like "wow it sounds like an FNAF song", but still like come on why are people so shocked and defensive about it. I've seen comments about being ashamed for liking it because it's MLP like you'd see back in 2012 or something, I thought we were over this.

2026-06-09 09:10:12 UTC

Surreal feeling looking up the song "Discord" by eurobeat brony (and the vastly more popular TLT remix), and finding comment sections full of people shocked to find out it's an #mlp song.
Apparently it's been used in some FNAF animation, and specifically in the spanish-speaking internet it's associated with the "ben drowned" creepypasta. Also some people associate it with the chat app for some reason?
idk it's wild seeing people speedrun the 5 stages of grief over this.

It's crazy how back when I bought my A485 (AMD brother to the T480) thinkpad back in 2019, everyone was clamoring about how lenovo had fallen off, how the price point wasn't worth it (I got it for slightly under €1k), and how the old thinkpads were so much better.
Fast forward 7 years, dozens of incremental upgrades and repairs, still daily driving it, and now I'm seeing people call it the last good thinkpad, with lots of upgrade options. I think I made the right call :)

@nprofile…8m52 I disagree with unison being manual lol. It's meant for bidirectional sync but you can easily create a config for unidirectional sync and trigger it from cron.

@nprofile…8m52 I was going to suggest Unison but that's written in ocaml...

Just saw an IRC client implementing tiling chats exactly like a tiling WM would and I want to scream on the top of my lungs.
Worst part is I can't just tell people to not reimplement the features BeOS shipped in its window manager over 20 years ago in every single application, all with different shortcuts and behaviours, because they'll go "well if you don't like it don't use it :)" while making it hard to open multiple windows of the app or split out the chats list into its own window.

@nprofile…wvdg I couldn't find it in the man page under either --pretend nor --fetchonly. Did I miss it?

2026-04-10 15:11:19 UTC

#gentoo #portage feature I learned about today by accident:
emerge --pretend --fetchonly (shortened as emerge -pf) will print all the URLs it'd use to download the various distfiles, instead of listing the results of the dependency resolution (as --pretend would usually do).
Caught me off-guard, I don't think this is documented anywhere. Glad to know portage still hits me with surprises after using it for 7 years 😅

@nprofile…3q9y At least the crates were being downloaded individually. Many rust ebuilds nowadays will pull a "-deps.tar.xz" tarball with all the crates inside, created by the ebuild author, on a "trust me bro" basis. This is because listing all the crates in each ebuild alongside their hash turned out to bloat the repo size and they want to keep it manageable...
Managing rust deps with portage at least lets it link with some system C libraries like openssl, instead of bundling their own.

Killing the network or ssh service on a machine I was using remotely is up there in the most annoying #linux blunders alongside that one time I accidentally uninstalled glibc on #slackware (trying to upgrade glib2)

@nprofile…32m9 The situation can be vastly improved by standardizing the build procedures: Rust and Go have source-only package managers, Python can do both, and that's just the few I know. In the land of linux distributions there's a few source-first package managers, like NixOS, and Gentoo, and even with the binary-first ones it's trivial to rebuild existing deb or rpm sources.

The :Sex command in #vim is actually rather useful.

@npub1p45…89jz I think it's interesting that only 1/5th of the authors had their work fully replaced. I wonder how many of those are drive-by oneliner commits.
