  TIL in #nix these behave subtlety and surprisingly differently: foo = ./file-path foo = "${./file-path}" #nixos

  if something is worth prototyping, its worth prototyping badly with a trip-hazard network cable down the stairs across the hall into the kitchen

  so far today i have learned: - dbus-daemon does not support #systemd DynamicUser (use dbus-broker) - #polkit does not like DynamicUser (have to use real user) - polkit does not support SupplementaryGroups (have to use real group membership) - systemd does not like sudo, generally inhibits setuid (probably for the best) and all i wanted was a minimal permissions thingy to remotely shutdown a raspberry pi...

  @alina@girldick.gay i might have spent too long making it have different probabilities of replying depending on what was run and the result, and different personas each day

  @alina@girldick.gay it's currently mixed up in a private config repo... i should factor it out into its own thing some time... but in the mean time happy to send you files privately

  loving this week's #vinted UI update where someone decided that including the details of each saved search made the list look too cluttered so now i get to play lucky dip! (these are all different saved searches with different filters etc)

  TFW you are checking drive specs cos one in the RAID array is showing SMART errors and... then you spot one of the other drives has a model number that does not match the colour of the sticker on the outside ... and finally realising i likely got scammed 6.7 years ago mrow (like the drive is still working ATM, but it has a WD Blue model number with a WD Red sticker)

  @brambleshadow4@equestria.social sorry it happened like this, but wanted to come back and say it's been stuck in my head for like a week and i am very excited to hear the finished version when it's ready. given no response might be worth asking mods?

  a full 10 minutes of wondering why this IR LED was not working... DMM diode check says it's fine, but PSU is stuck at 0V voltage drop... it's almost as if... ... ... ... oh. i am literally the silliest kitty today. ᵐᵉᵒʷ

  "fuse wire" is when the wires are so thin they function as a fuse, right? ... also the ES bulb holder is wired backwards and the switch is on the neutral and one of the wires was squished in the housing - kinda impressed how much is wrong really. i should not be allowed near aliexpress since i clearly rolled a 1 for appraise when ordering

  today i have done none of the things i was supposed to do, but i do now know a bit more about USB HID (entirely coincidentally a new (to me) piece of hardware was delivered)

  @attoparsec@clacks.link also fun: if you use the cast API directly shorts cast just fine

  took quite a few goes to figure out user defined characters, but very happy with the results of the prototype :3 still need to fix some minor spacing issues, the documentation i can find is very sparse and seems A Lot of variation between printers 😾 so due to inconsistent emulation modes in escpos printers, very uncertain how portable my impl is going to be... (yes this is a silly project to print rpg stuff like items and spells on little bits of paper) #pathfinder #pathfinder2e

  are there any good existing tools for logging laptop battery data over time and drawing nice graphs of it? things like voltage and charge current over time. kinda surprised i cant easily find something off the shelf that does any more than just read numbers out of /sys/ ... #linux #nixos

  @alina@girldick.gay this does have the very edge-case advantage of supporting X forwarding
