"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

Reminder to anyone who needs to hear it, LLMs are not intelligent, they literally need a random number to produce output

Bittorrent DHT implementation work will continue tomorrow at the same time :D

No stream today. However, I will be looking into Bittorrent's DHT protocol tomorrow! Hope to see you then. 0530 MDT.

A while back I discovered that ttyper (a typing test program for the terminal) can use a custom wordlist. I decided to create one entirely out of words I always misspell. I don't think my WPM will ever recover TT

A nice review of a few cool projects: www.youtube.com/watch?v=32O0... -- I'm tempted to do a "pure (rc)xs bible" as well. Maybe one for rc as well, more as a learning experiment.
Oddly useful Linux tools you probably haven't seen before

I keep forgetting people don't know that many modern tar implementations can auto-detect which -z flag to use. `tar xf thing.tar.zst` will just work.

Since Upscaler has just reached 150,000 installs on Flathub, I'm releasing Upscaler 1.5.0! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale images locally, securely, and completely offline.

Thanks to @zoeyTheWitch's wonderful contribution, this release […]

Hot Take: The misinformation about the SSPL needs to stop.

If you disagree with the SSPL, that's fine.

But if you argue against what you think what the SSPL is, rather than what it actually is, you are actively harming the FOSS community.

Anyone have recommendations for a low-dependency (preferably written in C) screen snipping tool?

I can't summon any focus today, so I'll have to cancel the stream. I'll stream tomorrow to make up for it. Thank you for your patience, and I hope everyone has a great day.

TIL: ```c
int main(int argc, char **argv {
uint8_t buffer[1 << 25];
// ...
}
```
This code segfaults on entry into main(). I guess it should have been obvious.

For this Sunday's stream, I'll be looking at using cscope's database to help with document generation. Monday I'm looking at two possible means of getting glowing ores (ala Thaumcraft) working in Luanti.

Today I am looking at the code I wrote in my last fit of wanting to replace Hexo entirely. There were decisions made. I am forgiving myself for them, for I understand I was not in my right mind when I wrote them, as is evidenced by the code I wrote.
