This is awesome work, I’m happy to see systemd on musl getting more attention. Poor Khem was doing it all by himself for years.

You can not highlight text in a commit message and leave an in-line comment in the same way you can for code changes in the diff.

Edit: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/19691

GitHub doesn’t let you comment on the commit message either. The only one I’ve seen do this properly this is Gerrit. And of course regular old mailing list reviews.

There are so many blogs and posts about writing good commit messages, using Conventional Commits, etc, and the two most popular forges don’t even let you comment in-line on the commit message during a review.

GitLab still doesn’t even support leaving comments on a commit message. Like, what? GitLab and GitHub have all these fancy shiny features but still suck at offering basic code review functionality.

I never understood the appeal.

I’m confused, the behavior you just said was “exactly the same in git” is now a problem for Mercurial?

Old, unreachable commits will be garbage collected.

Dude I mean in this in the most genuine, kind way: a significant aspect of being a successful programmer is using the tools in your environment. If you can’t do something without bringing in your Tool of Choice you’re artificially limiting yourself.

If your environment does not have a specific tool or functionality that you would prefer, you work around it. OpenWrt is an immensely capable OS and it manages to perform complex network operations within its (admittedly) constrained environment.

In this case you’re myopically focused on not even a specific language, but the language agnostic feature of regex capture groups. You should be asking yourself if there’s any other way to accomplish your goal without this (spoiler: there are probably dozens of alternatives)

Lua is 31 years old and has been included in OpenWrt by default for 15 years.

If it’s OpenWrt then use Lua. You probably could have written a solution in the time it took you to come whine about BusyBox.

Lol bro used signed char to store the version number

I don’t know if this is still the case, but IIRC browsers (chrome and Firefox) have their own sandboxing which is quite effective, but their efficacy is hindered by flatpak.

Early Knoppix live CDs have a special place in my heart

I’ve used silverblue on my gaming rig for over three years now. It has been a completely uneventful experience, so I really like it.

The only pain point I have is that compiling kernel modules is an utter disaster and it’s ridiculous that there is not a seamless mechanism for this yet. Every kernel update (and there are tons) requires me to rebuild my third party modules, but you need to do it in a toolbox and the kernel headers version must match the running kernel version, which is actually more annoying than it sounds.

Thanks my dude!

Extremely happy. Debian Stable. Every time I open the lid of my laptop, it’s working and ready to go. Wonderfully boring and exceedingly reliable.
