I've used the Void userspace for a while as my WSL layer and I do really like the package manager.

Anyone actually running Void on real hardware? What's runit like?

I think as long as it's just an installer with an extra repo and the rest keeps pointing to the Void repos then that sounds manageable.

There's about 20 packages in their forgejo instance.

Doesn't mean I would pick it up but if you're maintaining that for yourself and your mates that's fine.

Honestly it was quite a whiplash to go from what looked like a good article to something that seemed completely made up. But I would chalk that up more to my reading comprehension than your writing.

Thank you for spelling it out for me because I thought I was looking at a completely hallucinated AI article...

Right, are any of the things mentioned in the GP really required if you only want this init?

I know they've attached all these projects to the systemd brand because they thought it would beneficial but it's hard not to wonder if we could avoid all those discussions if the umbrella project was called something different...

Thanks I'll give it a shot when I have a free weekend.

I think I may have complicated things by using linuxserver.io images which already require some id mapping trickery on the rootless podman side as they expect to run as root...

I did have a terrible time setting up rootless podman in a proxmox VM with virtiofs.

I just couldn't get the ids to work. But I've not tried the specific thing they do here.

Ooh, I need to look into that id mapping technique.

I attempted to port my homelab quadlet setup to a disposable VM on proxmox with the state folder mounted via virtiofs and after losing a weekend I realised that it essentially wasn't compatible with rootless podman id mapping and I gave up.

But maybe I missed something...

I feel like this is really due to the harness.

Gemini CLI at work has the same issue: it'll prefer hacking your workstation over just asking you how to proceed.

I think the harnesses are setup to have a bias to action otherwise the LLM would just stop all the time when doing trivial task but it also mean they'll keep going when the "obvious" path is to just prompt the user.

They used to have their own "youtube script interpreter" that was kind of fascinating. But yeah as you said they switched to proper js runtimes recently.

For me, and despite the constant enshitification of Plex, the apps are still better. But I'm really close to the tipping point, I've been tinkering with making Kodi not suck but custom themes really seem like piles of unsuported plugins.

What other countries do? A chemical test on the field and a more accurate one when they get to the police station.

Not sure why this is so down voted. I have a touch bar era Intel Mac, I regularly check the state of Linux on it and they are still somewhat poorly supported. Some drivers are out of tree, audio and sleep doesn't necessarily work, etc...

It does have one, we use it at work. https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/remote-mcp-serv...

Yeah the poor Jellyfin clients (on xbox) are what's keeping me on Plex despite all the accumulating paper cuts...

No, Code Weavers do awesome work but I was thinking of the work that Valve has been funding around Mesa, the kernel, etc...

I've really been enjoying the work that collabora (the consultancy) has done, especially around gaming on Linux.

So it's really disappointing to see Collabora Online and TDF behaving like this...

“It should never be a gallery of old boys"

How else would you describe all the life peers who's sole qualification was to be mate with the prime minister at the time?

Wonder if the work being done on the BC-250 helped.

Did an AI write this? Completely missed the point ^^'

Do you still have to pass every args as json/strings or has there been an improvement on that front?

I was on board until I saw that those can't easily be opened from a local file. Seems like local access is one of the main use case for archival formats.

Time to spin up a mumble server again...

Then you're not familiar with software consultancy because that's exactly what they do.

It's still a fun language to play with :)

My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.

Most of my contributions were to the stdlib so my knowledge of the implementation of the type system is limited sadly.

Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.

That's the language I was talking about :)

But none of us have worked on it in a while.

Oh man, as someone who used to contribute to a statically typed lispy language this would be the dream for me.

Yeah I like this layout and it seems to be available on all Linux distros. I only use it occasionally to talk to friends back home though, not sure how it is for constant use.

Using a bool instead of empty struct also means that there is more way to use it wrong: check the bool instead of if the key exist, set the bool incorrectly, etc...

I would argue using bool hurts readability more.

Even better write/use a simple library that calls things that are sets `Set`.
