Release day for #WPE WebKit 2.22.0 is coming and my “do a full cross-compile to test things out” needed a serious update of its Buildroot recipes. That's done and well, but now I'm stuck with the usual build issues derived from ANGLE assuming that Xlib headers are available. We fixed that in WebKit itself long ago (WPE does not need X11), but every time the copy of ANGLE bundled in WebKit is updated this kind of crap reappears even after submitting patches upstream. Usual Google project crap.

This has just gone in my (Neo)Vim configuration file:

iabbrev :shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So. Convenient.

@OpenBSDAms My instance has stopped replying: the SSH was dropped, and it won't reply ping requests (neither IPv4 nor v6 seem to work). Is there any known outage going on?

I was trying to compile a recent version of Rust, hopefully I didn't jam the server somehow or hit some issue in vmm/vmd 🤔

Something I miss in #GLib is a “G_DEBUG=backtrace-warnings” which, if available, uses glibc's backtrace(3) and backtrace_symbols(3) and prints out the result. This would save plenty of time when doing development, specially on embedded targets where a debugger might not be immediately available or core dumps may be disabled altogether

Also I have been theorizing that one of the reasons why computer screens don't look dated is because the backs of the screens are not seen (so it's not obvious that they are big-ass CRTs) and there's even a couple of tablet-like devices. Also, the UIs displayed are mostly text, without trying to make graphics much... And there will be always text, aeons from now. If you're into typography, I would highly recommend this article about usage of font faces in the movie:

My partner got us tickets for the one screening of “2001: A Space Odyssey” today in the country's biggest cinema screen. It's the kind of movie that really needs to be enjoyed on a big screen, and surprisingly enough doesn't look dated even after 50 years. If something, the only thing that looks a bit from the past are the trippy sequences in the last part which are obvious aerial landscapes with colour filters. Yet some of them are quite well don't, still! 🚀🛸

Seriously considered bumping a thread of the #Lua mailing list from 2016 because I just realized that it was one mail there that made me buy the #Factorio game. Which is awesome. So I wanted to thank the person who mentioned the game there, but it seems like it might be a bit rude to post such an old thread: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2016-08/msg00192.html

My favourite part is the part where this is quoted from the Steam reviews: “I had to cut out crack-cocaine becuase it was interfering with Factorio.”
