CIRCLE WITH A DOT

wearing my Nixcon tshirt at the unicycling convention was so worth it, someone walked up to me asking for tips 🥹

why does EVERY embedded project have to fork every. single. repository. they depend on?? the amount of times I've seen "mirror of" or "<ourProjectName> repository tracking <upstreamProjectName>" where the 'mirror' has 39 commits and upstream has 3.2k and if you're extra lucky upstream has been archived 2 months ago

also makes me wonder how this (doesn't?) work security-wise... who's keeping track of security fixes or patching all of these downstream mirrors? why not submit patches upstream?

maintaining downstream mirrors like this is literally the same as creating unmaintained forks, no?

PSA: nix builds ran with --keep-failed don't get cleaned up automatically under /nix/var/nix/builds (unlike /tmp before that security advisory), this is your reminder to clean that directory

@nobodyinperson actually no, then it'd probably show up in a tty

@nobodyinperson systemd user service? check .config/systemd/user or something

@nobodyinperson maybe try `systemctl status <pid>` & `pstree`?

my brain just connected the dutch word for woodpecker to the english word, I'm a changed man

you wouldn't download... an entire fleet of cars?

@zimward `rg`'ed my config like six times trying to figure out why hyprpolkit was running lmao

also, I just found a symlink in ~/.config/systemd/user that was left there after I moved away from home-manager... 1.5 years ago... and it was causing problems starting a random service that I thought I had removed from my config

that was pretty fun to troubleshoot
