It seems there is no "normal" (glibc/systemd) Alpine Linux equivalent, which is kinda weird:
- 6 monthly versioned releases supported for 2 years
- Minimal base install
Debian is perhaps closest but it only releases every 2 years or so. Ubuntu has 6 month releases but they're only supported for 9 months and it's hardly minimal. Have I overlooked a distro? #Linux
@6aef21eb the board is this one https://www.keebmonkey.com/en-au/products/wk870
I used a Keyboardio Model 100 for a while. I liked the split nature but I miss dedicated keys. I think TKL or thereabouts is my ideal (after a lot of experiments with smaller boards)
@6aef21eb Ok I have successfully replicated the most important parts of my custom keyboard firmwares with keyd:
- Swap Alt and Super
- Caps Lock = Ctrl
- Backtick = Esc
- Left control = go to function layer
- Function backtick = backtick
Still got to do the macros. Undecided whether to do those or move them to espanso. Will probably do the later.
Fascinating thread on how Dutch Type Library still designs/digitises fonts:
Some excerpts:
> At DTL we use Wacom Intuos 2 tablets with lens cursors together with DTL IkarusMaster under Windows XP under Parallels Desktop under macOS.
> And yes, we still draw on paper
> DTL also has still three functioning Power Macintosh systems (two of which are upgraded desktop Gossamers) with Ikarus M and Aristo A3 digitizing tablets

@f3c16413 I use the local docs for the standard library (I have the tab open right now) because it opens the version that match the version of rust you're using in the project you run the command from.
As for online docs, yeah I dunno 😅 although in this specific instance I was poking around the docs of a crate in order to link to them in a comment, so needed the online URL.
@e076bad7@0af6133c I was just looking at that page yesterday and had similar thoughts. The end of updates seems to roughly align with the layoffs that fired a bunch of Rust devs.
Wish the Mastodon web UI had the "Load from remote server" feature that @83211688 has so I don't have to be thrown out of my own instance to see a new account or follow a whole thread.
@9c220a3b thanks for searching! It's in the right space but that's a different book. It's describing Type 1 fonts and is by Adobe. What I'm after is describing TrueType fonts (version 1.0) and was published by Apple.
There's various references online to:
The TrueType Font Format Specification 1.0, Apple Programmers and Developers Association (APDA), P/N M0825LL/A published in 1990
However I can find no photos, PDFs, or any evidence of a physical copy online. Has anyone actually seen one? I'm kinda interested in owning a copy.

TIL when you suspend a Linux machine with a discrete GPU it has to stash the GPU memory in system memory as the dGPU will likely be turned off in the process. My GPU has 12Gb VRAM, which means that if there might need to be quite a lot of system RAM free to suspend successfully. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2362 #Linux
@b022f9d9 Thanks for the shout-out in your post! Two points:
My name is Wesley (with and s). I use wezm for historical username availability reasons :)
You should consider my mention of Dinit to be glowing praise. I kept it short because there were no complains: all the benefits of a binary init without the kitchen sink of systemd—I love it.
