@codewiz Yeh I actually misread your original post - so yeh, I'd agree something like gitlab is fine; although I just wish they were just a bit lighter/simpler/better designed. Some of the GitLab UI stinks!

@codewiz Hmm, is it that much worse than a mailing list you have to subscribe to? Especially if it has a sign-in-with someother account thing?

@codewiz haha, and an airport branch...

@codewiz @globalc Yeh, it's not pleasent; they end up with building their own idea of Objects; and a lot of other open source projects then have to build their own object systems as well (I work on QEMU and it has a lot of it). gtk-rs4 isn't too bad - but it's still very much of a feal of a wrapper; it's not clear how to fit GUI lifetimes in with Rust's idea.

@codewiz I hadn't expected that much IoT for Go; interesting.
(It's weird to have a 'select as many as required' for a 'primarily use')

@codewiz Hmm that's odd, normally, without quiet, a corrupt initrd leads to the kernel eventually failing with a can't-mount-rootfs, assuming you've not configured the console off somewhere odd that is.

@codewiz That's probably non-trivial; I mean I know the CentOS^WRocky guys do the same, but that's a well trod path.

@codewiz Hmm I hadn't realise they hadn't rebased yet; that's not good. tbh the repo on the side is fine; the ISO I'm less interested in, but actually doing an ISO would require permission of the distro on which it's based wouldn't it?

@codewiz Is that actually a fork? Isn't that just a case of starting with LTS and no DE installed and building KDE packages?

@codewiz but no arrows??

@codewiz Not looked at those pages for quite a while; all good fun, but I think they removed a lot of the postmortem/failure/engineering pages which is a shame, since those were fun to read (but they made them private after they got a bit too much press)

@codewiz @greypilgrim Our local taxes tend to be related to where we live rather than sales.

@codewiz This stuff is crazy; it confuses the hell out of payment systems everywhere, there are entire companies just providing APIs to figure out what taxes to pay given a postal code.

@codewiz Isn't coffee an unusually normal flavour kitkat for Japan?

@codewiz Only 9 engines :-) 🚀

@codewiz I did write some Vulkano; heck it was hard work for me; certainly I made a mistake of learning Rust and Vulkan and Vulkano at the same time; but certainly a case for a learning curve involving spiky boots and pitons.

@codewiz 195V AC??

@codewiz In the US, not yet - see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZOuz_laH9I
The US Teslas use a non-standard charging port, but they're talking about supporting the others on someplaces.

@fribbledom Microwaves.

@codewiz Yes, but I just can't take my eyes off that HUGE crane; there's a video about that somewhere.
