I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was.
  • Best name to call it is to just not call it anything. Don't talk about it. Let it die.

  • c-pipes: draw pipes in terminal window
  • Haven't used the original but I do enjoy letting pipes-rs run on idle terminals.

  • What GitHub alternative do you use?
  • I do use helix but haven't taken advantage of the git integration. Maybe I'm unaware of its power. For fish, I defined my own fish_prompt function with an indicator if there are uncommitted changes. It's just running git status under the hood. I have a TODO in that function to run a pijul diff in the directory if git status returns nothing...

  • Wow I forgot all about this band. I love the comment "Red Djent Redemption"

  • What GitHub alternative do you use?
  • The 1.0 is in beta. There has been a lot of refactoring to get it to this point. I would say there's still many quality-of-life features missing that would stop me from using it in a professional setting but for hobby projects it's meeting my needs (and gets better with each new beta build). They only have a few project backers but the main developer has been working very steadily on it.

  • What GitHub alternative do you use?
  • This is actually why I prefer using pijul. I don't want to commit my secrets to a git repo and nix will refuse to build because I'm pulling in files that aren't tracked. Simple solution is to not make the flake directory a git repo and it won't complain. That's my solution at least. I also prefer using git (and therefore pijul) via cli rather than as a text editor integration so my experience differs.

  • What GitHub alternative do you use?
  • I use it for self hosting because all I need installed is sshd and the pijul package. Then I can set my server's ;p as my remote. The "nest" web UI (the Pijul equvivalent to git tea) is in development and not open source yet, but you can use the hosted version at https://nest.pijul.com/ if you're curious.

  • Wat
  • Upvoting a classic. Watch his other talks too. Entertaining and thought provoking.

  • Git grumpy: Torvalds complains of passive voice in merge commit messages
  • But it's Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

  • What's a good FOSS IRC Client?
  • I used both for years but always preferred weechat with the nicklist enabled and at the top, so that it didn't break urls or selecting multi-line text. Although the nicklist feature is moot for huge irc channels the ui and user experience is overall better with weechat in my opinion.

  • Audacious - An Advanced Audio Player
  • I like deadbeef because it reminds me of the foobar2k days. Very simple interface but behind the context menu is hidden tagging, replaygain editing, a robust plugin system, and all the more advanced features I need to keep my collection well groomed.

  • Can somebody solve this puzzle?
  • problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password's emojis start catching fire.

  • The inmates are running the asylum.

  • Comedy shows have laugh tracks cuz they aren't that funny
  • Same reason tiktok and instagram reels are overlaid with that dumb wheezing laugh track.

  • 13ft: Self-Hosted 12ft.io Alternative
  • Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. "That ladder is 13 feet tall" vs "That is a 13-foot tall ladder".

  • GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
  • Most people here (who didn't grow up in the US 50+ years ago) wouldn't give negative connotations to the software's name. I'm on the side that it is well divorced of an ableist meaning but that's where the disagreement lies and some people are making a big fuss over.

    Should we stop using words like taser and amok as well for having historically racist associations despite being divorces of those meaning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift_and_His_Electric_Rifle

    Our language is littered with more "land mines" that we realize if we want to make land mines out of them.

  • GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
  • Do you have evidence of that? That's not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it

    I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?

    With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.

  • Help transplanting burr oak saplings

    Last autumn I stored several acorns in a 5-inch pot that was filled with potting soil and covered. I took the cover off 2 days ago to discover 7 saplings between 3 and 7 inches long. They are too big for the pot I was storing them in. Are they safe to transplant at this stage? What size pot should I transplant them in? How do I safely move them without damaging them?

    Configuring Xfce4 keybindings

    I found no documentation on how to do this but found this option in the home-manager source code that I might not be using correctly:

    nix home-manager.users.my_username.xfconf = { enable = true; settings."xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" = { "&lt;Super&gt;space" = "rofi -show drun"; "<Super>space" = "rofi -show drun"; }; };

    Any ideas?

    Here is my full configuration.nix file for full context if that helps. I just started with Nix and NixOS this week so I the config is a bit haphazard at the moment.
