I'm a little bit afraid of the cold in Brussels... i'm not used to that cold...

I think the slides I prepared for #FOSDEM2024 are pretty cool.

I only have 20 minutes to explain what we have been doing in #Guix and #liveBootstrap and the #RISCV bootstrapping process. But it will be cool I think.

Traveling gives me anxiety, and I meeting people and all that too. I'm not nervous about talking in public, as I'm pretty much used to do it, but I'm nervous about all the rest of it.

Inspired by @whitequark , who was inspired by @STARGIRL, a "no stupid questions" thread!

ask me any question about programming languages, free-software, working as a freelance free software programmer, guix, bootstrapping, life, or anything else you think I know about, and I'll do my best to answer them.

Streaming now: Making a simple GUI from "scratch" in #zig

Now we have text boxes so all we need to do is put some messages on the screen!
And some threads too, we need to make some threads oh no!

I wrote a post about how I did an application for Windows...

"#Guix + #Zig + #NSIS for the win…DOWS?"

Finally find some tools that help me do things for a wider range of people. Good stuff.

Tresna txiki bat egin dut zure Twitch txat-a ozenean irakurtzeko.

Software librea da. Noski.
Dependentzia gutxi ditu. Garapenean dago oraindik baina erabili daiteke.

Frogatu eta kontatuko didazue.

WE ARE LIVEEEEE

Luego en twitch voy a analizar un codebase en C++ y contar qué cosas pueden mejorarse. Creo que podremos aprender bastante entre todos! Luego nos vemos en:

https://twitch.tv/ekaitzza

Later today I'm going to review a C++ codebase, I'll propose changes and probably apply some. I hope we learn something together!

Gero C++ code proiektu bat aztertuko dut zuzenean twitchen eta hobetzen saiatuko gara. Ea zeozer ikasten dugun guztion artean.

I love when people use ETA in english...
For me (and for us Basques) it means something else :)

Tenemos una visión bastante paternalista de lo que pasa en el mundo. Como si la gente fuese tonta y no supiese votar y hubiera que enseñarles.

Eso sí, nosotros votamos de puta madre. Así nos va.

No sé, esto de hablar de intervención en países soberanos mientras luego lloramos porque españa nos roba o el estado opresor español etc me flipa un poco la verdad.

I want to apply for commit access in #Guix but this fucking protonmail account I use is just getting in the way all the time dude...

I have to learn to use GPG and Protomail's opinions are just preventing me from doing it as I'd like to.
What should I do now? use the fucking shitty bridge they have that requires too many dependencies we can't package it? Or maybe change the provider and lose all my setup...

(cc @janneke @civodul and @efraim you'll be pinged about the thing soonish...)

Oh great i'm sick

So, @stikonas and I, with @janneke s valuable help, managed to #bootstrap our #TinyCC in #RISCV

It was a huge effort, but here we are.

Thanks to #NlNet for the support!

Of course all this is packaged in #guix :)
And added to #liveBootstrap .

Soon in your favorite distros, but first we have to fight other dragons.

ANUNCIO!

#thoughts es un proyecto tipo podcast donde pienso y comparto lo que se me ocurre sobre ciertos temas, principalmente la tecnología y el software libre.

En el primer capítulo hablo sobre el software libre y cómo lo vivo yo como autónomo.

Kudos to the one that solves this poltergeist:

I have program written in #guile that makes http requests.
I made a `guix pack -f deb` for a friend and he tries to use it.

The program explodes saying `getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype`.

Wtf is going on here?

This is your chance to earn internet points!! Don't waste it.

If you want to know why bootstrapping is important you can watch my talk at FOSDEM 2023.

Does anybody here use
@neocities.org ??

I just built a library and a cli tool to use their API in #guile (guile not? lol)

Just in case you want to play with it.

It's still missing documentation and proper testing but it kinda works.

@Gina un cappuccino por favor?

@Gina More than "me das" I would say "me pones" which is like put but *to me*.
Das is more like give (for free or something) but yeah, people will do some effort to understand you... You know, we are not English (😘 ).

Also if they see you looking guiri they will be more understanding. :)
