@senator whoops :)

xor the register with itself! :)

@senator

@xyfdi@gameliberty.club *women (i think the men here aren't really much better) with warped priorities and zero integrity.

unfortunately those people are the majority, judging by the state of the world ;)

chucho: rather dry description of what isn't working, even making the concession of installing parts of systemd-crap.

jauntywunderkind: sTaHp tHe wHiNinG!

i don't really get why one has to defend systemd, it has won by all accounts. it's as cool as being a fan of an overfinanced sports club who wins everytime :)

i think we have to distance from the thought of free-as-in-free-beer stuff.

paying some dollars for sourcehut every month was one of my better decisions :) the pricing also is really fair for the value delivered. i think the overwhelming majority can spare what amounts to the price of a take away coffee, but iirc they are giving you a free account if you really don't have any money.

it's just the complete opposite of the venture capital startup model and i really like that.

@1iceloops123 if it's at least their own code! flashing ready made images with flashmaster studio 3k (or how this stuff is called) isn't exactly an achievement :) i know everyone has to start small, but that's so small it's almost zero :P

@lain unicode, the system more or less invented to have a unified way to represent all human writing systems, ancient or current. it finally has defined code-points for the symbols of utmost importance, used by mankind since aeons.

@1iceloops123 i really despise the "plug together these 5 prefabricated components and flash this image and you are a mAkEr!11" stuff. it's just like building a pc and installing windows, only smaller 😑

@finlaydag33k i only started using it a few years ago. i think it's really nice for its intended purpose, glue between things and to be embedded into larger programs. it's a bit unusual in its concepts though :)

they have solved many problems other languages still have. the tk toolkit is rather decent (it doesn't look like motif anymore), one can package an application with sdx into a standalone binary, the module system isn't madness like in python or ruby. it's decently optimized. there are manpages for most tcl/tk and tcllib (a kind of extended standard library) commands.

one drawback is that the community documentation is a bit cluttered. there is wiki.tcl-lang.org where much information is available. https://www.magicsplat.com/ttpl/index.html is a good book, and there is some more content available at that domain. in the end it's still in a thousand locations, so one has to search around a bit for stuff.

i can only recommend to try tcl, if only for the interesting way of how things are done there. everything is a string ;)

@finlaydag33k @thor i think the TCL approach described by antirez in "Tcl the Misunderstood" would be nice to have in other languages, but they usually aren't flexible enough for this :)

especially for scripting languages it's kind of weird that just using the language for configuration isn't more popular.

ihr habt ja bestimmt auch genügend kumpels in der bauindustrie die n paar aufträge brauchen könnten. da wird das geld dann auch schnell und unbürokratisch ausgezahlt. wie bei den masken!

@bograt do you use the staging environment for testing? the limits are much higher there.
