Just finished my first #Scheme toy project: a rot13 CLI and GUI client implemented in #Racket 😜
#SchemeLang #RacketLang #programming

Just pre-ordered the Librem 5. The price is good, and I like what it offers. Hopefully it's a good phone and doesn't keep slipping the ship date.

This is an ad from a 1998 issue of Macworld, and I feel like it could be a meme template.

Any Debian user out there who can lend a hand on where to go or what to do to get the proper wifi firmware for Debian ? I've tried few things but to no avail.

Hmmm, I wonder what the story is with this and Parabola? Seems likely they are related somehow but i'm not sure how.

Have anyone tried Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre?

It's apparently a long-term support simplicity-focused distribution based on Arch Linux with OpenRC to support the Init Freedom Campaign.

For #rustlang I've got the shortest and coolest domain name:

https://lib.rs

In your browser type lib.rs/<crate name> and you'll get instant crate info or keyword search.

Any thoughts on full disk encryption? Pros and cons?

Has anyone tried functional programming in #RustLang? How well does it work?

This week's #cliAppOfTheWeek—which we're getting in *just* under the wire for the week—is #bat, the `cat` replacement with syntax highlighting, git integration, (optional) line numbers, and more.

https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

See below for a cat/bat comparison (showing a bit of the #mastodon's code). And if you don't like those colors, don't worry—bat lets you select a different color scheme or customize your own (along with pretty much any other config option you might want).

this is an *excellent* introduction to parser combinators: https://bodil.lol/parser-combinators/

My blog is now available as a #tor #hiddenservice.

The main motivation is to protest law makers proposals to ban tor usage in Germany and to demonstrate that there are valid and legitimate uses for tor. We have a right to privacy and we have to defend it!

Thank you @torproject for providing the technology :)

Immune to Velcro and a master of sheep-fu

#zig language looks kinda neat actually

it's intentionally small and obviously better than C:

* includes its own build system
* granular runtime check toggles
* implicit pass by reference, following the modern convention
* sum types and nullable
* undefined behavior(e.g. overflow) = compile time error if possible, runtime crash if not
* A reasonable approach to compile-time metaprogramming that allows a lot of the language to live in the stdlib(e.g. generic data structures, custom allocators)
