@ArneBab my hot take is that Rust is a net negative for free software.

@ArneBab this is why it's a hot take :)

I used to be in charge of dealing with vulnerabilities that were detected in production container images and getting things fixed before our compliance deadlines was often out of my control because lots of software was obtained outside of distro repositories.

It was also a good opportunity to use some of my homegrown dehydrated heirloom tomatoes.

urgh Emacs' new native compilation feature is so broken. I'm in a state where Emacs just hangs on boot, spawns a jillion compilation processes which eventually use up all of my RAM, then gives up. I can still edit text but most of my config is not loaded, I don't have magit, etc. wtf

Got my new glasses. Much better now. First time having lenses with blue light filtering. I think I like it. Been wearing a beat up pair of cheap glasses for the past 4 years unnecessarily so everything looks a bit nicer now.

Also ordered prescription sunglasses for the first time because I don't want to deal with wearing contacts under cheap sunglasses anymore.

We are 1 month away from the next Lisp Game Jam! Make a dating sim in Emacs Lisp. Or make a Souls-like in Chicken Scheme (aka Chicken Scheme for the Souls.) Or make a kart racer in Fennel. Or make a post-apocalyptic action platformer in Common Lisp. Or make a roguelike in Racket. Or make a farming sim in Guile. Or make a strand type game in Clojure.https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2023#lisp #scheme #gamedev #gamejam

If I get a chance to make something I will finally try using libesprite for all pixel art rather than gimp.

@civodul this is awesome! I haven't yet explored making a channel within a project repo, but I want to try that soon. Looks very useful.Noticed a small typo: "run jobs n a Docker image"If I could offer an alternative take on Gitlab CI setup: Use 'guix pack' to produce an image that has just the dependencies needed to build and run the project. This trades flexibility for speed. The CI jobs don't have to redundantly download the same dependencies over and over because they are already there. However, the image needs to be periodically updated with a fresh build when dependencies are modified. We use this approach for guile-hoot because we don't want the overhead of running a substitute server but we need both a custom built Guile and V8 and it would take hours to know if your branch is green if CI had to build those each time.

@korkeala @civodul Guix package graphs tend to have more nodes than their Debian equivalent. You can use 'guix graph' to get a sense of what's going on and then investigate if those references are really necessary or an accident. Guix scans build artifacts looking for /gnu/store references to build the runtime dependency graph. Sometimes build systems generate files with extraneous references. I generated a guix pack for a Qt program recently and noticed that mariadb, postgresql, and CUPS, among others, were being pulled in even though they definitely weren't being used. Maybe I'll investigate why sometime. What I really want though is some way to do tree shaking to get rid of unnecessary things. I don't need texinfo manuals in my container images, for example.
