That’s me! I’m super chill 😎

I’m not an open source guy - redistribution restrictions (as well as restrictions for corporate and commercial use) are non negotiable for me. You’re welcome to learn from the source code, and anyone is free to fork and make whatever changes they want for personal use.

The license history for this project goes MIT > PolyForm Strict > Forked PolyForm Strict to explicitly allow changes for personal use (named as the “Komorebi” license as changing the text of PolyForm licenses requires removal of the PolyForm trademark).

If anyone is interested in the story behind the initial MIT > PolyForm Strict switch, the tl;dr is that I decided to explicitly restrict redistribution after someone did a rename of the project and started selling it on the Windows Store. A lot has happened since then that has changed my views on open source in general.

non-standard

OSI licenses are not “standard” by any stretch of the imagination, and I personally don’t want to have anything to do with licenses which would permit the use of my software in the mass murder of children.

komorebi v0.1.29 - new status bar built in Rust with egui

komorebi v0.1.29 - new status bar built in Rust with egui - Lemmy.World

Hi friends, it’s been a minute since I shared an update here on this project. Last time I posted about building a debug GUI in Rust with egui, and I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to write a status bar for my tiling window manager using egui too! There is a whole live coding video series [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Z5-K05bHs] which documents the creation of the bar, and I think in general the codebase [https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/tree/master/komorebi-bar] has some useful tips on doing things with egui like loading custom fonts at runtime and enabling application-wide theming from colorschemes palettes like base16 and catppuccin. Happy to answer any questions about the technology choices, the experience in general, rough edges etc.

how do you fix an issue you can't reproduce? a case study

how do you fix an issue you can't reproduce? a case study - Lemmy.World

I’m sure most of us have had to deal with issues reported by end users that we ourselves aren’t able to reproduce This video is an extended case study going through my thought process as I tried to track down and fix a mysterious performance regression which impacted a small subset of end users I look at the impact of acquiring mutex locks across different threads, identifying hot paths by attaching to running processes, using state snapshot comparisons to avoid triggering hot paths unnecessarily, the memory implications of bounded vs unbounded channels, and much more

NixOS 24.05 WSL Starter Template Walkthrough

NixOS 24.05 WSL Starter Template Walkthrough - Lemmy.World

I updated my NixOS on WSL starter template [https://github.com/LGUG2Z/nixos-wsl-starter] for NixOS 24.05 and created a fresh walkthrough video. WSL how I first got started with NixOS (and now I use it to manage more servers and machines that I can keep track of!) and I’m a big proponent of being able to quickly spin up a simple flake with a relatively flat structure where people can play around with settings to come up with something they feel comfortable applying to a bare metal machine at a later point in time.

Building a GUI for my Tiling Window Manager in Pure Rust with egui and eframe

Building a GUI for my Tiling Window Manager in Pure Rust with egui and eframe - Lemmy.World

Hi friends, I develop and maintain the komorebi tiling window manager [https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi] and have been posting live coding videos documenting its development for just over a year now. I’m starting a new mini series on building a visual debugging gui tool [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZKjBMt4kZ4] to aid development on komorebi and especially to help with understanding some of the more esoteric edge cases and the interactions between the twm, user-defined rules and WinEvents. I’ll be building this from scratch using egui/eframe, so if you’re interested in what building a non-trivial real-world immediate-mode gui and integrating with other (Rust, in this case) processes via IPC looks like, you’ll probably get something out of this series.

Yeah this is usually the way to go, I think I just got unlucky that this particular service on nixos-23.11 doesn’t have a package override option (but it will have in nixos-24.x releases!)

Selectively Using Service Modules from NixOS Unstable - Lemmy.World

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13113247 [https://lemmy.world/post/13113247] > After learning how to add an unstable overlay to nixpkgs, being able to override individual service modules from unstable was something that I still struggled with until fairly recently. Hopefully this helps someone else looking to do common-but-not-very-obvious operation.
