  • Which git plateform to choose?

    Jump

  • Just like everyone else, I'll also recommend forgejo. But be prepared to handle bot traffic if you self-host it. My instance was hit almost constantly until I added strict rate limits, and made most of the stuff private. For a portfolio, I think Codeberg (or GitHub, that's where everyone looks for stuff) is better that self-hosting. But it can be good to keep a private instance for mirrors.

  • Zig Creator Calls Spade a Spade, Anthropic Blows Smoke

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, but since we're being pedantic, this is not a proof. It's full of assumptions, some of which are wrong.

    5% is clearly better than 100%

    Never denied it. 0% is even better. What matters is where it's used. If it's used for FFI, that's understandable. Any other use should be scrutinized more. And that's the issue. The claim of Zig's creator is that the devs of Bun are not reliable. And to me at least, his arguments make sense.

    it’s usual for Rust projects to use at least some unsafe

    Doesn't seem like it. This article claims that only about 20% of Rust crates use unsafe at all. Even among those, the vast majority use it for FFI, which is kinda unavoidable.

    but somehow 5% isn’t

    Again, no one claimed that. But we need more than "better than 100%" when it's a JS runtime. And the "better"ness isn't necessarily linear. So, even though it might be technically "better", it might not be by much. At that point, what even is the point of the rewrite?

    Again, I'm not claiming that it's actually badly written. I'm only claiming that your arguments are not adequate, and that Bun is not a reliable company, so take whatever they claim with a grain of salt.

  • It depends on where exactly that 5% lies. If it's in the core API that's used by the rest of the architecture, it essentially makes the whole codebase unsafe when used irresponsibly.

    I don't know if that's the case here, just pointing out that the 5% doesn't mean much.

  • Do you like to have music while coding/studying? If so, what genres?

    Jump

  • When coding, I usually listen to Indian classical. It can't have any lyrics, as I get distracted by them.

    When studying (it's my actual job, I'm a mathematics researcher), I usually prefer white noise, or just a good pair of noise cancelling headphones without anything actually playing on it. Sound of rain works pretty well too.

  • Some great Native Linux games to grab in the Steam Summer Sale 2026

    Jump

  • Silksong is easily the best game I've played in the last few years. If you haven't played it, I'd highly recommend. It'll be worth every penny.

  • Immich 3.0 Released with Big Upgrades for Self-Hosted Photo Libraries

    Jump

  • Never used Apple Photos so not sure about the migration. But I can confirm that live photos work just fine.

  • As far as I understand, it doesn't keep copies of the different edits. The original file is saved, and the edits are serialized and stored in some form. Only one more copy is generated for the final version for preview and such. When editing again, you can add to or subtract from previous edits, and again a maximum of two files will be present. (But there would be no thumbnail, preview etc. for the original. So it isn't exactly double the storage usage.)

    This is my vague recollection from what I've read in the discussions, so take it with a grain of salt. But this is close to what's happening when you're editing.

  • What's your favourite "just works, day after day" Linux software?

    Jump

  • neovim

    It just feels right. It took me some time to get used to the vim motions. But man, does it make moving around any project so fast and natural. I went in for the customizability. And that's obviously there. But the sheer speed it gives me is uncanny. My past self with VS Code could never.

    I'd also suggest taking some time to write your own config from scratch once you get the hang of it; it'll be worth it.

  • Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers

    Jump

  • I've been using a Huion tablet for a long time. While it works, it'd be great to have some first party support. It's a shame that it doesn't seem like it'll happen anytime soon.

  • AntennaPod – The Open Podcast Player

    Jump

  • Great app. I'd also drop a link to this project I found which acts as a drop-in replacement for gpodder. It's selfhosted, and works perfectly for syncing progress from AntennaPod.

  • Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?

    Jump

  • Idk, I feel like it's blown out of proportions a bit. It's always supposed to be unsupported, and users are supposed to look at the PKGBUILD files. I know most people don't, but I don't think that's AUR's fault.

  • Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?

    Jump

  • I love the rolling release model, and the AUR. (I even maintain some packages on AUR.) I have installed and used pure Arch in the past, if only for the rite of passage.

    But nowadays I mostly use EndeavourOS. It's basically Arch once it's installed, but has a nice and fast installer, with great defaults. Also, the community is awesome. I rarely need any help anymore, but I still like hanging out in their forums helping others, and generally chatting about non-Linux stuff.

  • C++ takes decades to master

    Jump

  • Fair enough. I'm not a professional programmer, so I guess I won't understand your frustration with long term maintenance of Go code. I do agree that it can be unnecessarily verbose. Writing something as simple as an http server takes a long time. Also, the dependency management sucks. It can't seem to decide if it wants to be declarative or not.

    I do like that it's dead simple though, and that the standard library has most of the basic stuff. I've mostly replaced the need for Python with Go, for small CLI apps. Nowadays, I only use Python when I have to use some specific library, mostly for mathematical computing.

  • C++ takes decades to master

    Jump

  • Yes. IIRC, the flavor that I used was MSWLogo.

  • C++ takes decades to master

    Jump

  • I don't think there's an std-way of doing it, but the Rust ecosystem has this thing where people usually settle around one library. In this case, it is tokio. Afaik, most async stuff is done using tokio. What little async I've used, it's been using tokio or some library like actix-web that uses tokio under the hood.

    Also, side note, I never understood the idea of why golang is ugly. I think it's fine, except for maybe the repeated if err != nil guards. Those are ugly. I wish it used additive types for error handling.

  • I've always preferred the functional approach to programming, so OOP never really intrigued me. That's one of the reasons why I never liked C++ or Java, but instantly fell in love with Rust. It lets me do a lot of functional style programming, while still being somewhat practical. (I'm looking at you, Haskell.)

  • My first ever big boy language was C++ (after Basic, and Logo, does anyone remember that lol). I was in middle school, tried to self-learn from learncpp.com, only to realize that I had mostly learned C, with cin-cout instead of printf-scanf. So I just decided to migrate to C. Nowadays, I mostly code in Rust, Go, and Python. But my experience with C has been extremely helpful. Can't say the same about C++ though.
