The great thing about C is that if your code compiles, it's correct

I've started adding some rust code to laut. I even depend on sinx, the nix implementation written in rust, for nix32 encoding support.

The part of the GitHub UI that shows which portion of a repo is implemented in which language.

It shows 78.2 % Python, 14.2 % Nix and 7.6 % Rust.

Whenever my computer acts up I prepare a Computer Ant with a little expedition pack (headtorch, screwdriver, sandwiches, etc) and drop it into the USB port to go find the problem. It's never worked, not even once, but it's cute and distracting and that's what really matters

I won this nice hat today, for best practices in software supply chain security, for how I work on laut, at the Workshop on Supply Chain Security hosted by the CHAINS project at KTH. 🥳 I checked 5 out of 15 boxes on their self-assessment, and basically won by default because nobody else entered.

Finally got around to writing this relatively length post on the state of software development on Fedora Silverblue, and containerized development in general. This might just be well concealed nixposting, read to find out... anglesideangle.dev/blog/contain... #nix #devcontainer #fedora

I was just at the welcome dinner for #OceanSprint. So many nice people, so many great conversations! I volunteered to be be the person who makes sure that people switch seats a few times a night, so that they get to know everyone instead of just sticking with the same group of people. #Nix #NixOS

@bsky.app When I type "blue sky" into your search on Android, I do not find your account, until I remove that space in the middle. Should it really be like that? 🤔😊

Signature creation basically looks like this signed = sign(unsigned, key) and later somewhere else, verification isValid, key = verify(signed) Me looking at verify: Bro! .. you just ate unsigned! Spit out hash(unsingned) or something! Why should I keep track of that? You are a computer program!

I think in our current age it has become increasingly difficult for people to be part of the same group as somebody that they disagree with. The internet makes it so easy to find people you agree with, after all, and fight or block whoever you do not. 1/9

Is anyone running zed with Nix? I pulled this supposed code editor from nixpkgs, ran it and it all it said before exiting was 'Must be run as root'. Then I think i threw my laptop out of the window and ran away screaming. After it said root, it's all a bit of a blur.
