Okay, finished getting binaries built of #Pulsar using #Debian 8. Now it should run on pretty much any #Linux distribution older than that. Help me test it by downloading it from my ftp server:

https://ftp.iotib.net/Projects/Pulsar%20Older%20Glibc/

Currently trying to make a #pulsar editor binary that works on most distributions. Wouldn't have too if #Github would just, ya know, allow you to use any #Linux distro older than 2020 in the Github Actions crap =P

Current plan is to compile it on #Debian 8 using the #Freexian ELTS patches.

I'll probably just dump the builds on my ftp server for personal use afterwards.

I did a thing with the logo!

So, i've been on #VoidLinux for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's definitely a much better Rolling Release distro than most i've seen.

My only complaint is that you can't configure the package manager to take #BTRFS snapshots before and after an update. I got a script to workaround that, but still, very annoying.

#Linux

Finally, a sensible take on #Wayland and #Xorg that isn't just "me tribe good, you tribe bad."

It annoys me, when people make AppImages, but instead of naming it something like:

NameOfApp.AppImage

They name it:

NameOfApp-v1.0-git90asu59sau5a5aw-x86_64.AppImage

Makes it a pain in the ass to update them.

Update on my #SlackBuilds bulk builder progress: It's at the g's, and has been compiling gmsh for hours lmao

#Slackware #Linux

Soon, they shall all be built!

My #SlackBuilds bulk builder is alive! IT'S ALIVE!

A PSA to #flatpak users. If you notice bad sandbox permissions in a flatpak you're using. Bring it up to the maintainer of that flatpak, 9 times out of 10 it was a simple oversight.

If you've modded #Minecraft in the past 2-3 months, you need to read this!

This is ridiculous you have to do this.

Running my yearly maintenance on my BTRFS-formatted hard drive. It's been de-duping for over a day now =P

#linux #btrfs

So, I decided to see which flatpaks I had that had bad permissions. Half of my flatpaks basically had permissions that escaped sandboxing... That's uh, not good.

I have this old laptop that's collecting dust in my closet. Thinking of turning it into a #SlackBuilds builder, and making a public repo.

For anyone who does a lot of #unix and #C stuff and wants to make sure your stuff works across #Linux, #BSD, #Mac and #Illumos. This is a really useful site: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

Everything here is almost guaranteed to be on every #POSIX system

Updated my lxqt slackbuilds from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0. Just a biiit late lol

You know, I find it weird how there's not a #linux distribution made specifically for #AppImages, where it has the oldest supported kernel and oldest possible glibc. Because all the other packages can be as new as they want, it's just those 2 things that are needed to make appimages portable (For the most part, with some exceptions)

And with this, 0.1.0 of #EarthDragon is done. It's not a browser you'll want to daily drive yet, but it's getting there. Here, you can see that you switch between traditional with a menu bar, and #gnome-style CSD.

I'll get a #flatpak out soon of 0.1.0

#gtk #webkit #linux #foss #vala

Underwhelming, but finished the Edit menu in my #EarthDragon browser!
