I wish I were a better systems programmer, but I've been working on some interesting problems in C# at $work lately and it's been super fun.

Reading various diffs and explanations on tech@ over the last few years has actually helped my reasoning and understanding of concurrency issues, which allowed me to actually solve some of our problems instead of just masking them.

Just found out (by accident) that #gameoftrees can fetch from inside a worktree, and the parent repo will have its remote namespace updated ​

This makes perfect sense, but when I originally trained my fingers for got, you had to cd to the repo directory, then cd back to the worktree to get the latest changes from a remote.

This discovery will save my fingers much typing! ​

interface cnmac0 { ignore dns }

does what it says on the tin! thanks @florian ​

I made a thing. It's a totally useful and completely cutting-edge server implementing RFC 867. The breakthrough sandboxing technology gives it a level of defense-in-depth heretofore unbeknownst to hacker-kind ​

Anyway, it's called gotime and I think it works pretty well for v0.1

Thanks to the wonders of sndiod(8) and the run(4) driver, I now have music streaming wirelessly to a raspberry pi connected to the sound system in another room ​

In other news, FreeBSD is not as easy as OpenBSD to configure... ​

Turns out that #sndio is not currently available on #netbsd. There was a WIP port a few years ago, but apparently apis have changed enough to where that doesn't work on current netbsd.

Probably some opportunity to suit-up and bang the port into a workable shape, but it's not possible for me at the moment. Guess #freebsd will have to suffice for this particular piece of pi!
