Curious what you are talking about. Multi-threaded sharing of memory for example is also easy with rust, it just doesn’t let you wrote and read at the same time, and so on.
Yeah. Once you get used to the (verbose, but by no means unergonomic!) syntax, you’ll probably never be happy with another language again. Job-wise, I am currently mostly using Go, and while also a nice language, I miss the confidence and security I took for granted with rust.
Not to mention just how goddamn expressive rust can be. Let bindings like if ok/err, else return? Assign from a match on Some(Ok(x))? Filter, map, and friends on any iterator? Oh my GOD the error handling with the question mark iterator? 100% confidence that if it compiles, no error, possible null value, or case is unhandled.
And all this WHILE giving you the amazing security benefits!
Ah, damn, caught me proselytizing again.
In summary: use rust.
Nice, that’s great to hear!
Ah, too bad! But thanks, that’s good to know.
Not gonna lie, I’m a tiny bit jealous of you 😄 It’s gotten to a point where having to use Android is a constant, low-intensity source of stress just because of how closed and privacy-unfriendly it has become.
Thanks, that is a very kind offer!
The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)
That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?
Ah, true. I honestly think we need to get to a point where smartphones intended for use with linux are profitable / widespread.
But that’s a catch 22 with UX and HW both being required for companies to invest in the other.
IDK man. AfD are the ones raging against “political correctness” here. Dude decided to not be politically correct and label the Nazis Nazis.
They don’t let you anymore, do they? There was a whole controversy about the Zenfone 12
Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.
Main drawbacks right now:
Ah, nice. In that case just beware to move /var/lib/private/conduwuit to /var/lib/private/continuwuity, not /var/lib/conduwuit to its counterpart
Ah crap, forgot to ping you! Sorry!!
Yep, easy decision now. Migration went smoothly, just had to move the state dir and chown it to continuwuity:continuwuity
. Might be different on docker though, no idea, sorry 😄
Update: seems to me tuwunel
is drama waiting to happen. See updated post for details.
Yes, completely agree. It seems that the matrix foundation could easily take a different path to allow the community to flourish and third-party servers to have a much easier time. Since I’m not federated, I wouldn’t even mind if whatever fork I’ll end up on eventually says “fuck this, we’re not following synapse specs any more”.
But yeah, I am sure selling premium accounts on matrix.org is what will save the matrix ecosystem… 🤦🏼♀️
Understandable.
Hm, fair enough, I actually have very little experience with XMPP. (Only through prosody, which I personally am on a war footing with.) From a cursory glance, I also couldn’t find an Android lient I’d really want to use, but of course that is subjective.
In any case: I have a matrix server up and running, and it has been a pain to get friends and family on there; I do not want to do all of that again with a new protocol/clients. As long as it’s sustainable, I want to stay with the same server installation, and that means choosing a conduwuit
for me.
There’s nothing technically wrong with it, it’s just a glacial development speed. I tried contributing there myself when I wanted a specific feature (which had been requested years prior by someone else and was deemed a good idea), it took months before I even got a single comment back.
In the meantime, I had switched to conduwuit
because it was a much, MUCH more active project. However, conduwuit
has diverged substantially from conduit
, including irreconcilable database changes, so it is not possible to migrate back, that would require starting from a fresh slate and loosing all user data.
Understandable. Funny thing is, I’m not even federated; I think that keeps me away from a lot of drama.
But yeah. The drama sucks, and so does the Matrix Foundation. So many dumb decisions, so many years old issues that could easily boost acceptance and usability, but… Nah. No better alternatives around though if you want to own your data, have proper multi-client support, and at least the option to federate.
… are entirely possible, even if rarely the right choice.
