Much like the fediverse, we’re very early on that technology. We’re waiting for the network effect to take hold in both areas. Once it does, things will improve significantly, IMO.

Amen. I’d love to see Home Assistant start using it. I’m not holding out hope, though, because the guy behind Home Assistant is actively hostile.

RISC-V is an open instruction set, which should be what the Pi foundation (if their open source mission is to be taken at face value) would be switching to if they weren’t just a way for Broadcom to push their chips on the maker community under the guise of open source.

https://riscv.org/news/2024/01/what-is-risc-v-and-why-is-it-important/#:~:text=Unlike proprietary architectures such as,the evolving landscape of computing.

RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), has been making waves in the world of computer architecture. “RISC-V” stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) and the “V” represents the fifth version of the RISC architecture. Unlike proprietary architectures such as ARM and x86, RISC-V is an open standard, allowing anyone to implement it without the need for licensing fees. This openness has led to a surge in interest and adoption across various industries, making RISC-V a key player in the evolving landscape of computing. At its core, an instruction set architecture defines the interface between software and hardware, dictating how a processor executes instructions. RISC-V follows the principles of RISC, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in instruction execution. This simplicity facilitates easier chip design, reduces complexity, and allows for more straightforward optimization of hardware and software interactions. This stands in contrast to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architectures, which have more elaborate and versatile instructions, often resulting in more complex hardware designs. The open nature of RISC-V is one of its most significant strengths. The ISA is maintained by the RISC-V Foundation, a non-profit organization that oversees its development and evolution. The RISC-V Foundation owns, maintains, and publishes the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), an open standard for processor design. The RISC-V Foundation was founded in 2015 and comprises more than 200 members from various sectors of the industry and academia.

They’ve been declining for years. It’s time the community ditched them for RISC-V machines.

Who the fuck cares?

Yup.

I’ve been considering making an open source clone in Typescript since it won’t allow you to use imported text without making you pay.

Why are we seeing this ad?

I feel the same about Hyprland vs. Xmonad. I can’t bring myself to switch even though x11 is near dead since almost no WM can offer the configurability that comes easily in Xmonad.

To teach myself how to touch type on my split ergo keyboard, I typed out Don Quixote in full using some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them. It was fun to see Rocinante randomly peak in from my subconscious when I looked at this post. 🙏🏼

Is docker even declarative?

Yes (though not as deterministic as Nix).

Also you can build docker images from nix derivations

Yes. I know.

Imma let you finish but Nix had the best repeatable, declarative, deterministic dependency management of all times…of all times.

I’ll give you $225 for it. ;)

I’d definitely be interested.

I did something like this a while back when I attempted to create an official Cardano dev/Stake Pool operator machine. I ended up realizing that a whole config is too personal to try an standardize but parts of my shared configs DID help other Cardano devs and Stake pool operators get a rock-solid Cardano dev/SPO setup that could be cloned into a myraid of different types of machines and configs.

I started a fork of Lemmy geared toward inventory called Lemventory. I’m currently attempting to achieve dev/build tooling parity in Nix before I even touch a single line of their code. But that’s just my idiosyncratic way…anyone who actually knows rust and has their tooling ready could jump in and my Nix stuff wouldn’t get in the way.

If you’re interested, it’ll probably be a pretty simple rewrite at first. So, you could branch my fork and explore the conversions that would need to be made to enable it if you want.

I’m not sure since I don’t write any lua. But, I’d recommend tree-sitter if you haven’t used it yet.

Here’s the gist of my idea so far:

stores (or alliances of stores in similar industries) :: instances

inventory items :: posts

counts :: votes

item categories (or entire stores depend on implementation) :: communities

moderators are only allowed to post items to their own community or instance.

comments can still exist (perhaps as item reviews with the same upvote/downvote mechanic).

No actual transactions would be processed over this protocol. It would be solely for inventory broadcast/aggregation (like Shopify in that it houses the inventory of many vendors except without the transaction ability built-in since pub-sub is horrible for that kind of thing).

Edit: if you have any opinions (even “what a stupid idea!”) I’d be open to them. I haven’t even written a single line of code yet and it’s a fresh idea in my head waiting to be shot down by someone less idealistic than myself.

Debate me, betch. ;)

• switched to a split ergonomic mechanical keyboard
• working on a fork of Lemmy geared toward inventory called “Lemventory”
• moderating multiple Lemmy communities that are basically ghost towns (and I don’t care)
• got rid of my Instagram (and all centralized forms of social media except YouTube) and replaced it with Pixelfed and others
• letting my NixOS flag fly much more regularly now
• hexbear defederation only created a Streisand Effect and piqued my curiosity about Marxism. I’m now much better educated about it and have come to conclude that lemmy.world is basically filled with smug, tech-bro, hive-mind, blue maga, chuds that support censorship of simple ideas and subscribe to blind, disingenuous American exceptionalism that wouldn’t even stand up to the most generous critical analysis.

And another classic:

Viktor the director flip a script like Rob Reiner The way a lotta dudes rhyme their name should be “knob shiner” For a buck, they’d likely dance the Jig or do the Hucklebuck To Vik it’s no big deal, they’re just a buncha knuckle-fucks
