There's a vibe coding thread where developers are having an epiphany: maybe they should keep old versions of their code around, just in case their latest inspired hack turns everything into digital spaghetti.

Congratulations—they've just discovered their first professional software delivery practice: Version control. That's from 1972.

Next week, they'll revolutionize development by inventing "testing" after their app crashes in production. Again.

I discovered this very useful and cool crate that does exactly what I was looking for. And the documentation in README.md is amazing! https://github.com/hecrj/sipper

Nick @ The Linux Experiment Jul 10

We're seeing a lot of initiatives across Europe and the EU to replace Microsoft services with #Linux and #OpenSource solutions.

This could be massive for Linux and the entire community, so I'm sharing my thoughts on why this is happening, why it's great, but also why it could still very much die down very quickly:

Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft: why it's happening & why it could fail.

whoa. NixOS has an option to register an emulation binfmt which also configures Nix to support those systems.

so, you can just like, run aarch64 binaries as if they were native binaries. with this one simple trick! test your cross-compiled stuff locally, with ease!

i also notice wasi and windows in that list, but not darwin. curious.

wait, what? windows? what the fuck? how does that work..??? as a binfmt?? how does it pass through filesystem & such??

... it's based on lib.systems.elaborate

... which handles Windows by setting the emulator to an appropriate wine

wow. that's pretty cool. and if the host platform can already execute this platform, you just get exec.

wait so does this mean i can run Windows programs in the Nix sandbox? i mean, "duh", of course i can, wine will obviously launch in the sandbox...

...but now i kinda wanna write something nontrivial for Windows and build it with Windows-Wine-Nix

Makes me happy! Worked with my local neighborhood HOA to do a computer donation drive.

Curious how this will go!

@latenightlinux on bios locks: gross. Non-profit I'm with just got a bunch offloaded 10th gen intel laptops from local college. USB boot is locked out, but if I image drive externally, it boots secure boot shimmed bootloaders with no qualms. A major pain.

After watching @thelinuxEXP 's podcast this week, I immediately installed Packet. https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.nozwock. Packet. It worked really well and I can see myself using it a lot. I would recommend this to all Linux users who have an android phone and a Bluetooth capable Linux device. It's definitely more reliable than KDE connect and should look really nice in gnome.
