Going to their homepage doesn't help much either. Looks like some kind of self hosted social network?

I think its interesting from a historical perspective.

I imagine people will examine the code, find easter eggs, bugs, unknown features, amusing comments etc.

I look forward to seeing what is found.

multi directory syncing with src and/or dest for each input directory

So this is like "normal", "send only", "recieve only" folders in syncthing?

Not a fan of Ruby, but the things they outline here are pretty good for testing just about any language.

I maintain a fork of llvm and a JIT runtime written in Rust where we've employed some of these same techniques. E.g. caching llvm builds, running things in parallel...

Any sufficiently complex, well tested, system has the potential for long CI times. It's not something unique to Ruby or dynamic languages.

@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

In case, like me, you were wondering what this has to do with ssh:

openssh does not directly use liblzma. However debian and several other
distributions patch openssh to support systemd notification, and libsystemd
does depend on lzma.

When using reolink in a self-hosted setting:

  • how do you get notifications of someone at the door?
  • can you use the android app still?
  • how do you securely store video on your server? They say they support ftps, but I have no idea how hard that is to set up. Shame they don't support sftp.

Thanks

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

With ftps, can you use a self-signed cert? If so, how does it verify the cert? Do you have to upload the public key, or does it cache it on first use?

@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I use C, C++ and Rust in my dayjob.

I don't like C++, but I disagree with your statement.

C++ has:

  • a string type, which sidesteps error prone buffer juggling.
  • smart pointers for scope based deallocation.
  • generic data types. No more hand rolling list and mapping types with void *.

It's obviously still not a fully memory safe language, but it has some perks over C. I'd still much rather be using rust (most of the time).

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I agree for the most part, but writing data structures with shared mutable state can be a total pain in Rust.

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It's hard to get those kinds of data structures through the borrow checker.

Try writing a doubly linked list.

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That's not right.

Try and write a mutable doubly linked list in Rust and you will find that it's problematic for the borrow checker.

Search online and you will find solutions that work around this using 'RefCell' (to delegate mutable borrows to runtime), or raw pointers with 'unsafe'.

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I'm not saying it sucks. I'm saying it can be less straight-forward than conventional languages, even for experienced programmers.

The borrow checker is fantastic, but there's no doubt that it requires a new way of thinking if you've never seen Rust before.

I Made a English Dictionary Front-End for Terminals ( feddit.nl )

This project was interesting. Recently, I've been digging into the functional programming paradigm. This is one of my first tries at it. I've been doing OOP until recently, but this project really was impressive to me. The whole implementation took about nine hours. Functional programming is much less convoluted. I spent more...

Stract: Independent and Open Search ( stract.com )

Stract is an open source search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. It's a search engine made for hackers and tinkerers just like ourselves. No more searches where some of the terms in the query arent used, and the engine tries to guess...

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Same here. I tried some searches that I might do at work and it didn't find what I wanted.

E.g. "llvm module" doesn't find the Module class reference page for LLVM.

Atuin is an open-source shell command history app for Linux with syncing, unlimited history, and with contextual search ( lemmy.ml )

Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for your commands. With this context, Atuin gives you faster and better search of your shell history!...

OSS Notetaking App: Notesnook ( notesnook.com )

Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I’m surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it’s also...

How do you feel about TypeScript?

Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone?
