So for quite some time I've had this plan to make an app for live demos on stage that's basically a nested wayland compositor but with friendly buttons to mirror it to a projector but today I got up with such a perfect vision for the UI including the greatest design crime yet and I already did a mockup in workbench and I can't wait to share this aaaaa but I really don't want to share just the mockup so I have to actually build the app now oops!!

lobste.rs needs to automatically move all vibecoding links to a spinoff instance called slopste.rs

@filippo @matthew_d_green still looking for a billionaire willing to bet $2³² against my one Dollar that there will not be a cryptographically relevant quantum computer by 2029.

Welp, I got laid off. RIP futurewei OSS rust team.

If you know anyone hiring systems engineers lmk.

New blogpost! This time we're fixing VRAM memory management for VRAM-constrained GPUs, especially for 8GB VRAM and lower!

I've been working on this for a while, and it's finally in a state where others can try! If you run into issues where game performance ends up degrading over time due to your GPU running out of VRAM, this should provide a really noticeable improvement.

Absolutely hilarious, can't believe it actually happened… I went to read @expede 's great article about a deadlock prevention library and it uhhhhhhhh deadlocked my Firefox??

Clearly Mozilla should look into adopting surelock 🙃

(Well idk if it's specifically a deadlock but it freezes. One time it actually crashed and I sent a report to Mozilla.)
