       @sss There is gomuks. And there is actually a matrix plugin for weechat. Both have still issues. The weechat plugin is a currently in a rust rewrite, but I assume it will be pretty good after that.

       Update all my #nixos systems to 21.05.CIs are green. Everything works. #gnome 40 is nice.I am satisfied.

       @horhik #cabal got much better in the recent years. It’s approach gives more flexibility and I think also works better with some other parts of the ecosystem.#stack is still alive and kicking. If you want to rely on #stackage, it’s probably the way to go. Although you can even use stackage with cabal.

       @DrWhax If it’s possible to have the union of boy and girl as a gender (i.e. both) it should definitely also be possible to have the intersection (i.e. none).

       @someodd That’s then probably because no-one cared to fix them.In general, it’s important to know that we try to build all of hackage (16k packages). Those who fail for any reason get auto-marked as broken (about 9k packages). Normally, fixing a package is very low effort, but there are only very few humans maintaining that part of the package set, and we can’t manually fix 9k packages without knowing if anyone cares about a specific package. #haskell #nix

       Matrix is making steps in the direction of additional trust on first use semantics.https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3834I have waited for this for quite a while. Glad to see movement!

       Hey #nix and #nixos people!I wrote a matrix bot for nixpkgs pull request notifications.It‘s like the cool https//nixpk.gs/tracker.html by @qyliss, which shows you which release channels a pull request has reached.With the bot you can subscribe and get notifications, whenever it reaches a channel instead of hammering F5 in your browser tab.Just open a query to https://matrix.to/#/@nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de and send "help".Looking forward to you all stress testing it!

       After a hardware failure in a RAM module, my #btrfs was corrupted beyond fixing.Once I decided to start from a clean slate and reformatted the disk, it took me less than 2h to recover the user data from backup and install my #nixos system fresh from the previous config.Now I am on a fresh install, which feels exactly as before. This is a situation where #nixos really shines.

       Just a few hours ago youtube broke #YTDLP with a small api change.Thanks to using #nixos I just slipped a tiny overlay into my system config and can move on with my live. (until the next release of yt-dlp, which will surely reach nixpkgs quickly.)https://git.maralorn.de/nixos-config/tree/overlays/yt-dlp.nix

       Public Service Announcement:If the only way to reach your community for help is via #Discord I will most likely not use your open source project.This is not a policy of mine, just an observation.Use #matrix or anything else which is open!

       At this point my #gnome looks very much like an #i3wm …The fact that modern terminal emulators like #foot again support pixel perfect small fonts as in the good old #xterm days, makes me very happy …Discovered #Cozette which looks very neat at 13px font size.#nixOS #homeManager

       I am gonna demonstrate my claim with a screenshot. Just because I enjoy this setup so much …Careful, the fonts only look crisp if viewed at 100% resolution.#nixOS #gnome

       Okay, so now every #haskell core libraries committee member is asked to clarify their personal stance on breaking changes.While, it’s naive to think that personal opinion and judgement does not go into the process. This focus on individual members opinions seems dangerous to me.Feels like we are getting in the direction of court packing discussions for the committee in the near future …https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/141

       Die Geschichte der Zensur in #Hessen:1. 78 Jahre herrschen Rede- und Meinungsfreihet.2. Dann wollen #CDU und #SPD(!) auf einmal Schulen, Universitäten und dem öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk(!!!) "Gendern mit Sonderzeichen" verbieten.Die Warnungen vor der Sprachpolizei waren anscheinend vollständig berechtigt …

       Something extremly awesome happened. After switching to #nixos-24.05 my system just feels … more snappy?I don’t know exactly why. I think it might be the update to #river 0.3.0. \cc @ifreund

       8 years ago, I started learning #Haskell to program myself a todo list app.How did that go for my todo list?Well, it is filled with:* Maintaining the UI library I use for it (#reflex)* Maintaining the OS I use to package and deploy it (#nixos)* Being part of the steering committee of the compiler to build it (#ghc)* Ah, and I have job were I use all that stuff.However, the app is currently not in a usable state, so I basically coordinate all that on chaotic stack of papers on my desk.

       Little known #Haskell performance optimization:If you are sure, that you are not targeting 32-bit systems you can just import base64 instead of base.
