@josch yeah no worries :) recently I was more succesful getting new contributors to work on packages for Debian. I also probably should maintain less...

@josch nice setup!

@highvoltage Damm straight.

Still didn't get that?

You're welcome!

Sent a pull request to Audacity fixing a crash bug I'd been running into frequently. The cause was an out-of-bounds memmove. Classic C++ areas.

Anyway I got a fucking copilot review on my PR which left two comments, both completely wrong, one of which suggesting I reintroduce the out of bounds memory access. I'm furious!

Just finished porting my nvim config to 0.11 and making it modular, and damn, it's nice to have LSP support even more integrated. Just define the LS in a "lsp" subfolder and get going, no need to install any random configuration plugins. Now I have hints, errors and warnings for tex, c, cpp, rust, shell, Debian packaging files and more. Thanks to the nvim devs!

Was eine mega Aktion der . Bitte weitreichend boosten , hoffentlich machen noch mehr Universitäten mit.

being someone hopeful for wayland, but that at the same time disapproves of gnome, systemd, and related, is sometimes really painful

i piss off x11 folks that say "they're killing X11 with EEE and forcing me to change my workflow" or whatever
i piss off wayland folks that say "X11 is dead and wayland is ready, move on already"

While #Debian is in deep freeze for the #trixie release, I am glad to announce texlab (LaTeX language server) and pipemixer (a TUI for pipewire) are now available from experimental (pending mirror sync).

here's the final version of the "redirects cheat sheet" draft I posted a while back!

("The Secret Rules of the Terminal is finished! 95 beta readers have read it! the copy editor is done! technical review is done! the illustrator has made the cover! It's going to be out on *****Tuesday June 24*****")

cmd > file.txt
cmd >> file.txt
cmd < file.txt
cmd 2> file.txt
cmd > file.txt 2>&1
cmd1 | cmd2
cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2

three gotchas:

1. cmd file.txt > file.txt  will delete the contents of file.txt

some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this

But I just have "never read from and redirect to the same file" seared into my memory.

2. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn't write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do:

echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt

or

sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt'

3. cmd 2>&1 > file.txt  doesn't write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do:

cmd > file.txt 2>&1

panel 3: cat vs <

I almost always prefer to do:

cat file.txt | cmd

instead of

cmd < file.txt

it usually works fine & it feels better to me

using cat can be slower if it's a GIANT file though

panel 4: &> and &|

some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr

(also some shells use |& instead of &|)

I should really stop reading the news. Merz honestly thanks Israel for attatcking Iran, stating that they are doing the shitty work. What the actual fuck.

Really warms my heart to see Musk celebrating Juneteenth with some fireworks.

Dear , when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation.

Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it.

Every site whose product owner/manager insists on automatic translation should immediately fire them.

@cccpresser @YaLTeR +1. As #Debian Developer I reviewed packaging from contributors while simultaneously maintaining 400+ packages where I am listed as uploader and coordinating team meets. For the new release cycle I will cut way back on this and hope I can get others to help with the reviews/updates. Fortunately we have new contributors coming in, so I hope the the workload will be more distributed.

Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

respectfully, fuck eclipse
