@bittin @redhat @ubuntu I got a bit sick with a cold too. Get well soon.

I absolutely hate college fests when I’m the organiser. There’s nothing you gain from organising a fest but you lose all of your time and classes making some useless reports that’s of no use.

@bittin @redhat still sick? Like are you fatigued or do you still have other infectious symptoms? Get well soon btw

@badrihippo I hate cloudflare. Almost every website uses it now and it blocks Tor users from accessing the site

Finally found enough time to make some Verilog projects and this time I used free software available in Debian package repositories like Icarus Verilog and GTKWave to compile and simulate the code.

I only learned Divide and Conquer algorithm in class but I'm getting to use it in real life now by juggling between masters admission test, college stuff and debian work by dividing tasks into smaller sub problems and making problems look a lot easier than they are.

Third year of college is no joke honestly. It's just way too hectic.

“ Windows 10 support ends in October 2025. Your computer may not run Windows 11, but it will run Debian for many more years without buying new hardware. Debian supports the End of 10 campaign.”

I got rid of Windows (nuked it) in favour of debian as windows was slowing down my perfectly fine machine. You should too, if windows troubles your perfectly fine hardware.

@keouck @sounddrill @disaster2life @lunarequest I’m sure people would like Pixelfed better due to its similarity to Instagram. The trick is getting people to leave that addictive platform first

@werdahias interesting. I should get that book one of these days. Sadly I think I should focus more on verilog for my job than C. C is fun to write however

SpaciousKarter78 SpaciousCoder78
@werdahias I have the c++ book by bjarne and I haven’t even read some of it yet. I gotta buy Ritchie’s C book too. C is honestly pretty fun to write.

Today was a big day in Debian. I took up a severe RC bug for python-papermill and somehow managed to fix it with the help of other DDs. It was a fun experience working together with everyone.

@disaster2life @sounddrill @keouck @lunarequest glad I’m not the only one with very low levels of Indian-ness

@praveen @fossunited @prav It's time we had a conference based purely on free software principles. Open-Source has become the new buzz word for companies these days to get work done for free by contributors.

I finally recovered from all of the post flu symptoms and I'm back to Debian work. Dark Souls is probably easier than setting up GBP though.

Fixed the memory leaks, covers v0.1.0 is now live! Use it for your C projects if you want: https://codeberg.org/covers/covers

SpaciousKarter78 SpaciousCoder78

What started out as a project to learn C better turned out to be a bigger free software project. Teasing my upcoming free software project - covers, a package/library manager for C. The repository is now live and v0.1.0 is in the works. I'm a masochist so I wrote a package manager in pure C with no scripts. I just need to fix some memory leaks before releasing v0.1.0.

Did a very risky thing with my debian install today. My debian only had 200gb allocation and didn't have enough space to install games so I used gparted to harvest storage from a windows drive and add it to my debian install and safe to say that it went well. It's time for some debian gaming now ;)

After being with the fediverse for about 2 months now, I've decided to make personal accounts on it. No more personal posts on this account.

Follow my Mastodon @aryanfc1 and Pixelfed @aryanfc1 accounts for my future personal posts :)

I'm currently writing an academic paper on open source technologies that use XMPP and IRC and I'm conducting an anonymous survey to receive inputs from the users and what they think about the services.
