@kemona_halftau the only issue I have had with pipewire previously is that headphone jack detection was broken in the coreboot ports for various skylake/kabylake thinkpads (in my case T480s, but they were all affected, they're very similar) and pulseaudio would still allow manually switching to it while pipewire wouldn't (that bug is now fixed in coreboot so I switched to pipewire on that laptop, but on my main laptop I still use pulseaudio)

@kemona_halftau low sample rate I think, but I'm not sure it's actually a pipewire issue or more a "I had to unplug and replug my headphones to get pipewire to detect them and didn't plug them in properly" issue because it also occurs with alsa after this and after unplugging and replugging them a few more times it doesn't consistently happen

apparently I didn’t have eudev, setup-devd udev fixed it but for some reason sound quality using pipewire is horrible (while alsa is fine)

why won't pipewire detect any devices while alsa works fine?

apparently my PCIe bifurcation pin mod breaks amdgpu (at least when the GPU is plugged into the bifurcated slot, even when it only uses 4 lanes)

I tried testing my RX6400 in my pin modded OptiPlex 9020 SFF (forgetting it was pin modded) and amdgpu crashed. (I assume it was the pin mod at least, it works in my 5050 SFF (with my coreboot port on it!) and my 7020 SFF is currently in use so I can't test it there and I don't want to undo the pin mod now)

@kemona_halftau it's like this back to 5.0.1 and then the 4.9.0 package doesn't even have a csc binary

@kemona_halftau

> csc
Cannot open assembly '/gnu/store/pyz8m7q5129yymqxayx0qk6p616qbh3m-mono-6.12.0.206/lib/mono/4.5/csc.exe': No such file or directory.

I think the Guix mono package is broken (the csharp repl works though) so I can’t really try now

@kemona_halftau for some reason gentoo only has a source package for dotnet9 (and it's amd64-only while the binary packages are amd64/arm/arm64-only, which is going to be annoying for getting it to work on ppc64le (I'm probably going to have to cross-compile from x86_64))

do you intend to stay on dotnet8 forever? how hard would it be to get it to work on mono? I'm not sure if mono has ai-generated code or not but at least it's bootstrappable (and is now maintained by wine instead of microsoft)

@kemona_halftau that must be annoying when writing shell scripts (and other stuff that doesn't like boms)

I just tested and tcc doesn't like boms (while gcc and clang are fine), but I'm not sure if it's allowed by the C standard or not (fun fact: not terminating a C source file with a newline is undefined behaviour)

also I see you have never used ed (the standard text editor) or busybox vi (I don't think that supports it)

@kemona_halftau do you mean that you actually add the bom manually or just that you configured your text editor to do that?

@hannah why does the alt text have a vertical bar character ("|") instead of an "I"? ("or | just")

This is next level infosec shitposing:

"It is the FreeBSD analogue of Linux's Dirty Pipe, CopyFail, Fragnesia, and Dirty Frag — except we gave it a BETTER name, with a BETTER logo, on a BETTER website. The other bug websites? Disasters. Sad. Many people have told us this."

@maddy I don't do this because it's too inconvenient to do so with physically separate computers (especially since if I make modifications to games it becomes my development computer too, and then it's even more inconvenient to not have SSH keys to access codeberg/etc on it, plus I sometimes do in-game chat over IRC over an SSH connection to my server) and my laptop doesn't have IOMMU so I can't run something like Qubes.

My new "desktop" will have IOMMU and definitely enough memory to separate stuff into VMs, but it still won't be able to run Qubes because Qubes is x86_64-only and it's Power ISA and I'm not sure if there's anything similar that will run on ppc64le.

I'm probably less at risk than some because I only run free software and generally everything that isn't packaged by my distro I compile myself, but supply chain attacks are still a concern.

rant about a nonsensical idiom
Show content
I really hate the en_US idiom "could care less". It means the exact opposite of the intended meaning of "couldn't care less" and it is confusing to people who have never heard that idiom before, or who have only heard the correct version ("couldn't care less"). It's just unnecessarily confusing and ambiguous to say the exact opposite of what you mean instead of just saying "couldn't care less". I actually didn't know about the "could care less" variant until I read the explanation of the xkcd about it (which I initially completely misinterpreted because I didn't know "could care less" was an actual idiom and not a mistake)
