@evacide The Russian government drafted such plans in the past, and IIRC even did some rehearsals, during which much of state infra went down due to dependencies on Western cloud services.

@FediTips @tips runs a multi language account (EN and JP), but somehow it allows to subscribe to only one of the language streams. Is it a generic fediverse feature?

@feld When you hold a hammer, everything looks like a nail…

I'm 100% on board with this:

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2

Both that the security theater is that. (In #VarnishCache we could not get a CVE under embargo because we did not have enough bugs calling for a CVE!)

But also that unpaid FOSS maintainers dont owe anybody nothing:

I have got a feeling that running pkg update separately seems superfluous or redyndant as each time pkg upgrade is run it seems to check for updates anyway. Is that right? @_bapt_

I have filled Stackoverflow developer^HAI survey. Apparently they still have no idea BSDs exist.

@joel How is your FreeBSD journey going?

Sometimes OpenBSD drives me into rabbit holes, like when I am trying to find the xterm in its ports tree… 👀​

@Metaph That's not necessarily electric cars, this is an ungenuity of all manufacturers. Brits made a study in early 2020 touch interfaces are worse then texting while driving, and cannabis driving:

What activity slows drivers' reactions the most: 
* alcohol dose within limit – 12%
* cannabis – 21%
* hands-free phone use 27%
* Android Auto voice 30%
* texting 35%
* Apple Car voice 36%
* handheld phone 46%
* Android Auto touch 53%
* Apple CarPlay touch 57%

@feld Here's a statement on +1h after switching away from OpenBSD's Xwindow CWM to Wayland: youtu.be/8E0SOWo-Gsg?t=291

@pertho There is always "sysctl -d".

@feld I believe in his introducing video about Hikari @raichoo claimed longer battery life on a laptop after switching to Wayland.

@lattera The part on OS diversity starts here: youtube.com/live/0DdnAgKLdG8#t

@vermaden First and foremost is the contextual shell history browsing. Ie. I type "doas" and navigate up with ↑ and history completion would only list command lines starting with doas…, if I would start navigating after writing "doas pkill", then only entries filtered by such a prefix would be available. ^R is bonkers, once you use this. @gumnos

@gumnos It's all about sane defaults here IMHO. I have found the FreeBSD's setup to be quiet friendly, while recently after installing OpenBSD and giving it a prolonged use, I was shocked how bare the shell setup was.

I have to admit I tried to convert to zsh few times, but never managed to fulfill my killer features set from tcsh. @vermaden

@gumnos @vermaden Well, I have never written a single script in csh, still tcsh has been my default shell since I abandoned a very slow bash 2.03. 🤣​

Piotr Smyrakpiero@bsd.network

@gumnos tcsh complain on "Invalid null command" in such a case.

And if I am not mistaken @vermaden has a telling % in the prompt.
