ใ Sadly, the project hasnโt been updated since August 2020, and after almost four years without any new developments, it was recently placed in read-only mode and archived just a few days ago. What does this mean? ใ
the existential question ... #linux
I have one little piece of custom platform-specific code in #qXmoji.
Background is that #Qt's QFileSystemWatcher doesn't work correctly on #NFS (and probably other network filesystems). It uses some platform mechanism (e.g. inotify on #Linux, kqueue on #FreeBSD) internally, so exact behavior probably depends on the platform. On FreeBSD, it *seemed* to work, but only when the change to the file on NFS is done from the local machine. ๐
Now regarding this code:
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/master/src/bin/qxmoji/nfsdetect.c
-- I still have doubts.
โช Should it check for other filesystems as well? Which ones?
โช Will this construct checking for 'BSD4_4' in <sys/param.h> reliably detect every OS derived from 4.4BSD (assuming a POSIXy system that *has* sys/param.h)?
โช Should it have implementations for *other* POSIXy systems than 4.4BSD-descendants and Linux?
โช Why the hell is there no standard for checking the *filesystem* a file resides on? ๐ง๐

Reproducible builds - pros/cons
Instructor allowed me to quote his take on Pros and Cons of reproducible builds. Because, i found this very informative i want to share with others.
Original author: Nathan House (Station X)
"Reproducible builds involve a compilation process that generates the same binary or executable output for a given source code, regardless of the building environment. This approach offers various pros and cons when it comes to security, privacy, and anonymity.
Pros:
1. Trustworthiness: Reproducible builds ensure that the released binary is built from the published source code, allowing users to trust the software without having to compile it themselves.
2. Tamper detection: Any attempts to introduce backdoors or malware during the build process can be detected, as the output can be verified against the expected result.
3. Collaborative verification: Multiple parties can independently verify the builds, increasing confidence in the software's integrity.
4. Supply chain security: Reproducible builds can help mitigate supply chain attacks by ensuring the integrity of the code throughout the development, build, and distribution process.
Cons:
1. Increased complexity: Implementing reproducible builds can be complex and time-consuming, requiring consistent build environments and careful management of dependencies.
2. Limited scope: Reproducible builds only ensure the integrity of the build process and do not guarantee that the source code is free of vulnerabilities or malicious code.
3. False sense of security: Users may assume that reproducible builds imply that the software is entirely secure, while they only guarantee that the build process is consistent and hasn't been tampered with.
4. Overhead: Maintaining a reproducible build environment may introduce additional overhead for developers, potentially slowing down the development process.
Overall, reproducible builds can significantly enhance security, privacy, and anonymity in the software development process. However, their implementation requires careful planning and may introduce challenges and complexities that need to be managed effectively."

#qXmoji v0.7 released!

This brings several improvements, mainly in the build system, but the major change is support for localization, with translated Emoji names imported from #Unicode #CLDR. I added a German translation, see screenshot. Once again, I'd appreciate more translations, the process to translate is documented here:

FreeBSD (and Linux), Podman containers and Large Receive Offload.

That is going to be an issue, both from #Ubuntu users and (mostly, I guess?) for downstream distributions like @linuxmint
I like the idea of a firmware-like OS (I'll soon post about it) and more things like a Flatpak, but this is forcing a technology (Snaps) nobody cares about except Mark.
But that's definitely not going to work on the server side.

Do any of you know of such a device? I guess #PineTab2 is not it?

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes.
First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Unified_Core
Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.

This morning, a colleague (a sysadmin who works exclusively on Red Hat) needed to quickly create a VM for a reverse proxy. Among the requirements:
Minimal, only for nginx
Root file system on btrfs (I don't know why, but it's their internal policy)
Be online ASAP
I swiftly installed Alpine Linux for them. With just two commands, I set up the root on btrfs and got the setup running. Within a minute, the VM was up; in ten seconds, nginx was installed, and within two minutes, it was configured.
They were amazed by the speed and lightness of it all, as well as the updated kernel.
Alpine Linux remains, in my opinion, an excellent and flexible solution in the Linux environment.
What kind of open source #Storyboard software are you using on #Linux?
I want to manage my videos better, and also prepare what kind of #video I need for a project. Currently I'm using a simple text in #Obsidian, but that's not really good.

Threads about #immutable #Linux distributions are becoming boring.

OK #LInux my home internet has been down for 30 hours and my ISP #GigabitNow seems incompetent to fix it.
#Networking seems barely alive so I'm hoping if I give you all some details, you can give some ideas of more tests to run or settings to try, so I can help pinpoint the issue to the best of my ability from my side.
Starting a thread!
At 3:41 Eastern, one of my own monitors detected the #GigabitNow network was down, while I was in the middle of a video call.
After rebooting my ONT device and router for good measure, I logged in to check the settings. I have a Synology RT 2600 ac router.
The router was up and detected "Limited Connectivity". The bandwidth chart shows 0.05k going upstream and 0k downstream.
https://projectbluefin.io and https://bazzite.gg will come with ollama ready to go out of the box with a `ujust ollama` command.
This will pull down the right image depending on if you're on Nvidia or AMD and then configure it with a @Podman_io quadlet for management.
Another text for today - " Why you shouldn't run a BSD on a PC"
"Changing GNU/Linux distribution can be done on a whim, as underneath all of that youโve got the same basic operating systems. With BSDs itโs not the same. One should try to understand the downsides, as not to waste the next 20 years exploring an OS that simply is not a good fit."

#qXmoji v0.6 released!
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/releases/tag/v0.6
This brings a *lot* of improvements and fixes, the most relevant being immediate persistence of settings and watching the settings file for external changes. To make this feasible also for restoring the history, a lot of work went into generating static emoji data that can be used efficiently (e.g. containing a hash table to find an emoji quickly).
BTW, this even works on #NFS, so if you have your home shared and you're running qXmoji on two machines as the same user, the history will auto-update in both instances ๐ฅณ
