Debian Maintainer | A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager.

I'm a hobbyist programmer. Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things.

I’m also a hobbyist graphic designer who mostly designs posters and media content for Debian India

Outside of geeky and nerdy stuff, I play a lot of video games, mostly single player ones.

Profile Picture is Flora Fountain from South Bombay, India.

I will never understand why we looked at modern programming, saw that there is a good bit, which is programming, and a bad bit, which is code review… and decided to automate the good bit at the expense of having to do a lot more of the bad bit.

Gearing up for a baremetal FreeBSD install soon. Turns out that my ThinkPad's realtek network card is now supported by freebsd which is good news because if something like a network card is supported then it's very likely that the other drivers are too!

@niyabits which org?

@niyabits you got into outreachy?

I managed to nuke my entire DE while trying to uninstall sway. In the process of reinstalling the whole OS. I should block r/unixporn at this point, those sway/hyprland setups are too tempting....

@sounddrill You mean Homebrew for Switch? Yeah there is, sort of but for the Switch Lite you gotta solder a physical mod chip to hack the console to load the exploits. Afaik, the OG Switch had it easier.

Homebrew kinda ruins the fun for me because it takes the fun out of buying and finishing games so I never modded any of my consoles in the past.

Back in the late 2000s, it was incredibly hard to find someone with a PSP in India. Only the rich kids used to have it.

Here I am almost 17 years later, finally having a handheld console. I never got the PSP back then but at least I have a switch which is the modern equivalent of it.

@rahulporuri Agreed. The best time I had with programming was when I kept the slop machines away. Undo-ing the slop machine damage on your brain takes a while but it’s worth it

I think I should be spending more time with engines rather than computers. A random shower thought.

It's been 4 months since XMPP worked properly for me. The entire protocol is broken for me across various clients and devices. Can't login to any XMPP service on iOS, Gajim doesn't work on Mac and fails to work properly on Windows/Linux.

Honestly at this point I'm thinking about not using it anymore because its barely usable. IRC and Matrix work flawlessly on the other hand. Not sure wtf is wrong with XMPP.

Finally bit the bullet and installed FreeBSD from scratch inside a VM. Baremetal install coming soon.....

raylib sounds interesting…

The easiest way to make a game w/o an engine is Lua’s Love2D framework but I like C because I don’t want to learn a whole new language for this hypothetical game of mine.

Let’s see if it’s doable in C…..

No this is not an april fools joke but I've been wanting to write an open source video game and license it under GPL. The biggest problem is however, finding enough free time to do this >_<

Tried to tackle the RC bug of python-papermill and almost fixed it but I ran into some issues with patches and I don't have any more time left to work on it. Feel free to take over the bug if you're interested: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129899

Thank you OpenAI and every AI techbro scoundrel for ruining my favourite hobby. You ruined one of my dream purchases. I was saving up money to buy a PS5 and I can't get one anymore to justify the price. Fuck you and your AI.

Today I fixed all issues with python-markdownify for debian packaging. I learnt how to use help2man to create manpages and that's for sure gonna help me down the line for future packages.

@niyabits late to the stream again :P

@thej good doggo

When the senior students said college is gonna get incredibly hectic at the end, I didn't expect it'd be this bad.

I gotta deal with a research paper, thesis, presentation, projects, life chores, hobbies etc. all at once with almost no break.

I can only see it getting worse at this point.

@niyabits damn i guess im too late, missed the stream
