In case anyone is curious, ezemtsov (EWM author) has a Skai port of Emacs [1] built for Wayland (only). [1]: https://codeberg.org/ezemtsov/emacs

I expect cameras will start to come with built-in IR filters in that case.

I've used LEB128 (with canonicalisation) extensively and... this looks so much nicer for most use-cases (length prefixed, supports the full uint64 range without that extra 10th byte). The downside is the encoding size. LEB128 quickly g

I keep trying it (coming from EXWM) but I get lots of lag, stutters, and poor fractional scaling. I'm not sure how much of that is "GTK under wayland", Emacs's PGTK build (known to have lag/rendering issues), AMD ke

Have you tried enabling MTP? Those numbers are similar to what I was getting on my Strix Halo box, but configuring/enabling MTP doubled the TG speed of the 27B model (18-20 t/s now).

Features like the magic cursor look cool: an infinitely flexible context menu. However, context menus make it clear what you can and cannot do. If the magic cursor can't "do everything reasonable", it'll be just as usabl

Nix and Lix daemon implementations are affected by buffer overflows vulnerabilities that allow a local attacker to gain arbitrary code execution as the daemon user (root in multi-user installations).

Box<str> is still two words (length and pointer). That's better than the 3 words (length, pointer, capacity) for strings, but Box<String> is one word (not including the heap allocation).

At least for qwen3.5, it looks like unsloth has updated their quantization algorithms to avoid bf16. See the march 5th update: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF/discussi... I assume they're

I've actually spent some time debugging why git causes so many issues with the backup software I use (restic). Ironically, I believe you have it backwards: pack files, git's solution to the "too many tiny files" problem,

My experience is that Emacs wants to be your everything, and works best if you let it. Have you tried putting your terminals inside of Emacs instead of the other way around? * If you need a "real" terminal emulator, you can use so

I live in LA and Waymos are the only cars I don't have to play chicken with when crossing the street. Even the drivers that see you will just give you a "sorry, I'm in a rush" wave as they nearly run you over.

I've been using it for 2.5 years at this point, and have the same experience. I don't think it's hopeless, but Kagi will need to step up their methods. IMO, there's actually a lot they can do here.

Copyleft is a mirror of copyright, not a way to fight copyright. It grants rights to the consumer where copyright grants rights to the creator. Importantly, it gives the end-user the right to modify the software running on their devices. Un

Maybe I've just lost all patience for fluff, but I gave up trying to figure out what the attack was from the article pretty quickly where the abstract answered all my questions immediately.

The article is hot garbage, here's the abstract from the paper ( https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/airsnitch-demystif... ): To prevent malicious Wi-Fi clients from attacking other clients on the same network

We do need to provide better services, but that's not going to solve this issue. The vast majority of people struggling to make ends meet don't stoop to destroying public infrastructure. Only the true anti-social assholes go there

This article left me more confused than enlightened. I recommend reading https://risencrypto.github.io/Monero/ instead as it actually explains how the cryptography fits into Monero.

You likely don't need to optimize anything; Emacs has seen some pretty significant optimizations recently (native Emacs Lisp compilation, tree-sitter modes, better handling of long lines, etc.) so performance is rarely the issue. Howev

If you want to try eshell, try combining it with EAT (eat-eshell-mode). > Maybe in my retirement I will end my career by helping to make emacs + EXWM multi threaded. I am guessing that is a daunting project, but it sure would be fulfilli

IMO, they're a great way to get started without having to invest too much time up-front. On the other hand, that was 10 years ago and it's a LOT easier to throw together a usable config nowadays; with LSP + built-in tree-sitter mo

I used to do this. What finally killed it wasn't reputation, it was the fact that I needed 100% uptime or risk losing messages, getting my address blacklisted, etc. Email is supposed to be resilient to down time (retries, trying each M

Ah, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! I guess I get why it works that way (avoids some issues with domain expiration) but... honestly, I'd rather have my domain name in control. Even after registering my own rotation
