Wrote a short initial impressions post on trying out NixOS in my homelab

mrkaran.dev/posts/trying-nixos…

in reply to Karan Sharma

Great insights & a pleasure to read. I have used #nixos as my main machine for a few years & its main advantage is that it won't let me mess it up because I do not install anything other than via the configuration.nix. Your post has given me a view on how to use it properly.
My big question: how can one #package something to get it into the nixOS search.nixos.org/packages
? I am happy to do the work but no micro step by step guide seems available. I am thinking of #reticulum #meshchat



Planning a better version of extra RAM for the #RC2014 (a #Z80 computer). Reserves I/O ports 0-3. How to use:
1. write high byte of address to port 0
2. write low byte of address to port 1
3. read or write port 2 to access the memory byte at that address

Parts: 6 diodes, 10k resistor, 100nF capacitor, 74138, 2 * 74273, RAM chip (at least 64k*8 bits; 628128 shown).

The order of the RAM address lines does not matter. Neither does the order of the data lines.

See rc2014.co.uk/1504/peripheral-a… for the address decoding used.

Did you now its trivial to build #Avalonia #dotnet apps without using #Xaml using pure #csharp out of the box github.com/wieslawsoltes/Avalo…
in reply to Wiesław Šoltés

do you know by any chance how to change svg with multiple paths into one path svg? Have bunch of svg icons and I would like to show them as simple Path object in AvaloniaUI. Trying it in play.avaloniaui.com would crash the app. 😔
in reply to Jan Dytrych🇨🇿🇺🇦

@jan I was trying to add such option into github.com/wieslawsoltes/SvgTo… but never got into it, I think you could do that programatically using Svg.Skia as it exposes Svg internals but it requires some hacking 😁
in reply to Jan Dytrych🇨🇿🇺🇦

@jan seems like this should in theory work codepen.io/shshaw/pen/mwKvZr/?… you might need to adjust fill type if paths have different one, you could use my SvgToXaml converter core to output path data and use it to generate single path
in reply to Wiesław Šoltés

yes, it works! My trouble was with not placing new paths onto new line! Thanks a lot! 😉


Do you like factory games and love falling sand sims, want to help out an indie game dev?

go try Sandustry, it's free, currently a playtest,

you can play it in browser at
[1]or steam

[2]It's a game I really enjoy and honestly, I just want more feedback that isn't my own.

you can leave feedback on itch.io or the discord, as it's a playtest currently Steam Reviews are not a thing.

Update: The game is now in a demo phase, and has a few bug fixes. The demo is only on Steam.

This is not sponsored just passion of my own.

I read it several days ago and didn't expect it to get as much attention as it has, but I've been following VJW and her mom Justine for a while, as the two of them have each eviscerated Elon's lies, repeatedly, in ways that are pretty verifiable. Both of them are people to be proud of.

Oh, and if you want to know what Elon is like as a person, Justine Wilson's old article in Marie Claire was cautionary reading, well before the sh1t really came down.

There is an audio file going viral on social media where it sounds like J. D. Vance is saying Elon Musk is tanking the US economy.

There is no confirmation that this audio is real, and it is important to remember, that with AI, anyone can now generate artificial voices of politicians.

To me the intonation of the voice sounds artificial, with unnatural pauses. Moreover, I doubt that Vance would express himself using these exact words.

Likely AI generated, I believe.

it may be artificial but its, nevertheless, not wrong is it. Musk, along with others.
