We have our next load test scheduled for two weeks from now.

Feel free to join us to break our previous record and test our latest stable release!

Basis is an open-source framework for social VR and games.

Had fun code golfing last week, while working on #basis account "Recovery Kit". I started out with a library size of ~2.5MiB and got it down to ~512KiB, or ~256KiB if I use some nightly cargo features. Also supports no-std. TBH its still larger than I want, but I want to ship this thing already.

Took today to teach my friend some nixpkgs stuff for our NixOS VR rigs. We are both going to try and package various VR software thats missing from nixpkgs. I guess my first Nixpkgs contribution will be for OscGoesBrrr 💀

SteamVR working on NixOS (nvidia 3090, wayland). Its amazing it worked at all. Frames were too jittery to be playable though. My friend who has an AMD GPU had the same thing happen.

Monado unfortunately errors out for me, although its likely something the community can solve.
