@atoponce I wonder what useful bit of information my brain is pushing out in order to remember this.

@srtcd424 @hambier @brot @kernellogger The btrfs developers really doesn't have to take that imho. btrfs deserves to be in the Linux kernel much more than bcachefs at this stage. The reason why bcachefs has relatively less problems is that it has a *tiny* userbase in comparison and used by people who tend to know that it's experimental.

@unredacted_org Wait what!? Why?

Israel has killed 700 civilians in Lebonon since Monday. Jesus Fucking Christ what's wrong with you people!?

I was busy furiously eating my sandwich and as I finished the last bite, my watch vibrated and very cheerfully displayed "Calorie Goal Hit!" ah good times.

@foone Yeah but at the same time Linux is also getting even more Linuxier. Did you see that the latest version finally has the RTOS stuff merged? Take that QNX!

@nixCraft This week I discovered what a gem lsblk actually is. With "lsblk -J O" it will spill many of your disk's secrets and in a json readable format!

@xjuan @GTK I suggest shipping a NEWS.md or CHANGELOG.md along with the README.md file that contains changes and especially important breaking changes that people should consider when upgrading

@xjuan @GTK Nice! I learned about it recently while working on packaging Cambalache for Debian. Casilda is just waiting on one dependency then all of it can go in.

Ah that's quite cool, I didn't realise that you could potentially do NFS and SMB over QUIC (although it makes sense now that I think about it), Exciting times!

@werdahias @awai It reminds me quite a bit of Calamares although using the Gnome backends instead of KDE... almost like a Galamares :P

@awai Ah nice, haven't seen that one it, always interesting to see how people implement it and what problems they are solving!

Still too early to share anything really, but I have various pieces of vapourware that are evolving to the point where they can actually talk to each other to work together as a system installer. Long-term I think I can put together a better universal installer than Calamares, imho they got a lot of things right, but we need something that's not tied to a specific GUI toolkit and that's more modular. My focus this month is mostly on partitioning stuff.

@CryptoJones @zackwhittaker everything I know about Ohio is from the Drew Carey show and that 70's show

Whoah!

@alexanderkjall @blog Yikes, that talk contains some scary content, I didn't realise Nixos doesn't check uploads and that people can just include anything from Flatpacks to binaries from .debs (even non-free) in their Nixos packages! Sounds like they need something like Debian's ftpmaster team to review packages and a stronger packaging policy!

@LALegault Millennials will never be in charge. The bastards will be older than Mr Burns and still want more money and will sacrifice anything and anyone for it.

@tesfabpel @blog Correct, the Cargo dependencies are packages in source code form, although in Debian, we only have one version of each package (the latest if possible, although sometimes there are complications or not enough people doing the work so it lags behind), so when you have a package that depends on many exact versions of Cargo dependencies, then it starts becoming a problem.
