I'm on a mission to create a dialup ISP in my room, and I now have a working telephone exchange to hang it all off of.
Now I'm just on the hunt for some olde modems.
The exchange is a very simple combination of Asterisk (on NixOS, on an old Apple Trashcan), with some Cisco 2-line ATAs and twinkle/BT Big Button phones.
( @eloy , I've been told you might enjoy! )
when you make something, and then get to the moment when the thing you were creating was fully realized, it is a magical feeling.
in the world we are moving to, we are taking away that joy.

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for funding most of the infrastructure and maintenance work that went into this release as well as a lot of the systemd related work.
@david_chisnall @dvandal @strlcat @davidgerard@circumstances.run I have poured most hours of my last 10 years of life into listening to users and pushing things forward on Wayland even if I personally wouldn't need the feature. I really saddens me that someone would think that Wayland developers don't care.
We do care, but we only have a finite amount of time in our volunteer life. Yes, we don't copy-paste solutions from X11: we try to fully understand the problem space and do better. This does mean that coming to us with technical solutions rather than use-cases tends to be met with "please, explain why you need to do this?".
I don't really know what you mean when you say that we silence criticism. I've read enough in the past years to guarantee that it's not silenced. I appreciate constructive criticism better than rants, rants tend to demoralize me.
I am also saddened about the conspiracy that big corp deprecates X11 against the community's will. There is no single company with a monopoly here, please take a bit of time to look at Wayland developers' employers. Personally, I'm ex-SourceHut and now just a volunteer (my day job is unrelated: SNCF Réseau).
I've never said that X11 was deprecated, and I always tell people to use whatever works best for them. The only reason why X11 has less activity nowadays is because X11 lacks volunteers. (We severely lack volunteers on the Wayland side too.)
People, distros, communities move away from X11 if/when they collectively decide that they should. Nobody's pulling the strings here.
Sorry, this pillow is full.

Project Vicigol - Reverse-engineering a 28-bit RISC CPU has been released on media.ccc.de and YouTube #gpn23 #HardwareandMaking #ZKMKubus #gpn23eng https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn23-144-project-vicigol-reverse-engineering-a-28-bit-risc-cpu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I1OIrXnM1Q https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn23/talk/KBQBE7/
wrote enough of a stub compositor with wlroots to run rootful Xwayland with windowmaker. much lighter than "real" X server...
Me and the gang about to do gang shit (nap all day)
