#Confy 0.9.1 is out.
It's a small bugfix release which change the error handling logic when re-opening a conference. If you ever found yourself having a bad network connection while opening Confy on your way to the venue, this bug fix is for you 😄

@Sandro Santilli 🏟️ Roma effettivamente ho omesso qualche dettaglio
#Confy è un visualizzatore di programmi di conferenze.
Supporta i programmi in formato Pentabarf (xml) e calendario (ical).
Permette di visualizzare le presentazioni per data, per track, per luogo in cui si tengono e di cercare tra titoli, autori e descrizioni.
Mostra i dettagli della presentazione: titolo, autore, sommario, eventuali link esterni.
Permette di segnare una presentazione come "preferita" e avvisa cinque minuti prima del suo inizio. Inoltre ti avvisa se una presentazione "preferita" si sovrappone ad un'altra presentazione già segnata come "preferita".
Mostra in maniera grafica l'avanzamento del programma.
Il sito è confy.kirgroup.net/ , dove ci sono diversi screenshots.
E' disponibile in svariati package manager e in formato flatpak su flathub
E' scritto in python3 con Gtk4/libadwaita, è pensato per integrarsi sul desktop Gnome ma non lo richiede. Si adatta a varie dimensioni schermo, anche da telefono, per essere usato su un dispositivo mobile con un sistema operativo linux (es, Pinephone con PostmarketOS o Mobian )
Essendone lo sviluppatore tendo a scrivere dei rilasci e di avanzamenti dello sviluppo sul mio profilo, sotto il tag #confy : social.gl-como.it/search?tag=c…

Spent my childhood optimizing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to fit everything into 640 KB.
Now one browser tab needs 2 GB of RAM so 17 analytics companies can find out I looked at socks.

@wolf480pl @patterfloof
I got a work laptop with 64 GB of RAM such that I can run VS Code, Slack, Obsidian, Spotify and Zotero (all Electron apps which ship their own copy of Chromium engine).
I am kind of happy that RAM got expensive again such that programmers might actually start to value it again …
@delegatevoid @martin_ueding @wolf480pl @patterfloof
That 8GB swap cracks me up for some reason.
@martin_ueding @wolf480pl @patterfloof
Yeah, no idea why it does that....
Could probably manually disable it.
@martin_ueding @patterfloof
you do realize this can be read as a "fuck you, got mine"? :P
I would appreciate if programmers and product managers started caring more about resource usage.
I'd also appreciate a job where I get to spend a significant portion of my time optimizing code.
But I'm not seeing any of these happen yet, and I'm not holding my breath.
@wolf480pl @patterfloof
I didn't intend that meaning but I see what you mean.
My job is in LLM Inference, and there we actually look into performance as it is a business interest to have that run efficient on the servers. I guess when it runs on customers's computers, the motivation is less clear.

I was just compiling two copies of the business application I'm working on (policy management in insurance), in two IDE instances. It sent my 64 GB of RAM machine into thrashing.

Apparently you can get help for that kind of sock fetish.
If you feel the need for help, that is.
Otherwise just keep enjoying yourself.
You can confuse the analytics companies by looking at other foot related apparel.
Or even branch out into gloves and mittens every now and again.

Adblocking is both a matter of resistance and personal internet hygiene. There is no right to surveillance capitalism, you can ban who you dislike. Period. Doctor recommended (OK, a Ph.D., but you can take my word for it).
A thorough multilayer approach is recommended to poop in the AdTech teapot:
1) Network-wide DNS filtering w/ Pi-hole, explicitly banning all Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other notorious enshittification actors.
2) Linux OS instead of Microsoft/Apple. Linux does not track, the others do.
3) Firefox w/privacy extensions uBlock Origin and EFF Privacy Badger, Ungoogled Chromium.
4) On Smartphones: Use AdGuard Pro (iOS) or Rethink DNS (Android), but be aware that tracking is a built-in feature of mobile OS and is more difficult to suppress.
For a while before I had to pay bills using online services I had a "pure" CLI setup, running barebones distros without X installed. Was pretty cool, had a command line application for just about anything. Even wrote a novel using a text-based word processor called wordgrinder.
It was surprising how much you could still see of the web using elinks, I could even use facebook 😂 Unsurprisingly banking was out of the picture though, I had to borrow my mom's windows laptop to do that.
@alesroubicek if you're interested, I set up xububtu on an old netbook with 1GB of ram, and found Firefox can still be really fast, but their current defaults blow chunks. Some of it is telemetry (and now AI), some of it is dumb choices. If you mess around with the settings it can easily be as fast as you remember.
I think from memory this is the guide I used:
linuxreviews.org/HOWTO_Make_Mo…
Apologies for dropping in with unasked-for advice.
remember, exTENDed memory TENDs to be useful, while exPanded memory is Practically useless.
Back in those days I regularly had to talk sewerage workers through editing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get the data from their gas safety monitors to upload. There was only one editor guaranteed to be installed on their computers, edlin -- which could be a challenge.
Funny enough, unlike a few of our directors, not one of them had any problems following the instructions over the phone.
I can sadly confirm that figure. A docker container with a scraper worker that starts internally a browser and does the whole Chaptcha bullshit comes at about 1.5-2.0GB depending on the website, so a fully interactive website with some history on memory at 2.0gb sounds reasonable with Chrome.
And it doesn't sound too bad my router has 64GB nowadays.
But then I remember my first computer had 64KB RAM (and wasn't that huge) and a super fast 1Mhz 8 bit CPU.

"do I really need the CD driver? can I go without for game X?"
Gods what time that was.
640 KB? Luxury!
When I were a lad, I used to have to write x=10 rather than x = 10 so that I could fit everything into 16 KB.
> fit everything into 640 KB
There were times before computers got that unimaginble huge amounts of RAM (640kB).
Then we (I am a greybeard) were forced to code our silicon chess players into the 1kB, GUI included:
I've written about programming languages, compilers, open source, distributed systems...
The Fediverse's response:
"Tell us more about CONFIG.SYS and sock surveillance!"
Love it! 🤣
I wrote code for a Honeywell Bull DPS, which had a maximum binary size of 32KB. We had to write the code modularly, so we could swap out binaries in order to make bigger apps.
After that for an IBM S/36 which had 256KB of RAM, followed by an IBM 4341 which was absolute luxury, which no direct limits anymore.
nowadays available DOS memory fits into your browser tab. Progress they call that.
Oh and stop giving me scary memories. I can remember effing around with QEMM and HIMEM.SYS and whatnot. Brrr.
The funniest thing about that post is that nobody even questioned the 2 GB browser tab.
Somewhere along the way we all just accepted that as perfectly normal.
Give it two more years 🙈
Living on 8GB RAM, having 4919MB available now.
(Ok, just some tools open and a browser instance with < 10 tabs)
Edit: My mastodon web client tab is using 130MB.
the average phone has 4-6 GB of Ram.
2 GB for the one single application most people use on their PCs is not concerning to them.

I bought at the right time! I had been hesitating on making the investment in rebuilding my home server . . .
And if you had some EMS or XMS the hours spent trying to LOADHIGH to make use of all that extravagance.
And to think people criticised the "bloat" of VBRUN300.DLL back in the day.
Only when barefoot.
Were they Winsocks?
I‘ll see myself out.
It felt easy most of the time. If a program needed 640K, I could skip most of the startup. For protected mode, I could skip everything, just load the mouse driver, and it ran well.
It became harder with later computers, simply because the Bios was starting to become larger, but by then Dos was starting to be replaced.
The names of the files are the reason I like to listen to 'MASTER BOOT RECORD' 🤘🏻😀
thinking about a recent(?) Blink conference address about "what do we do about the memory crisis", and the guy's response to any thought of "use less RAM maybe" was basically:
He gave some pushback to pressuring internal teams to make Chrome evacuate memory once it's finished with it. Someone in the audience asked about making a bigger deal in Chrome's web-dev ecosystem webpages about encouraging more efficient memory use, but the speaker seemed very ho-hum about that idea. There was no mention of "encourage less Javascript maybe" or the like.

Bella serata ieri al Circolo Gagarin di Busto, con @Alessandro e @alephoto85 . @Kenobit ha presentato il suo libro "Assalto alle piattaforme" e poi ci ha sparato svariati dB di energia 8bit dritti nel cervello. C'è stata anche una improvvisata dimostrazione di come la magia viene creata.
Alla fine siamo rimasti a nerdeggiare fino a tardi. Che ogni tanto ci vuole.

A new entry in #DepUnPr catalog: Rub
Rub is "A scriptable scratchpad for developers."
Rub is like Boop-GTK, which is a port of Boop.
Rub is written in #vala #Gtk4 #libadwaita.
Rub should be compatible with scripts for Boop.
Rub comes with core scripts from Boop.
Rub description is also stolen from Boop. Sorry.
Rub needs an #icon
I'm trying to write a thing in #vala with #javascriptcoregtk to run some user-defined scripts. I want to create an object which 'proxies' data from the app.
I'm trying to use Context.register_class to register a class with some properties, and then create an instance via JSC.Value.object, but I can't manage to get the object I want.
// test.vala
// valac -o test --pkg javascriptcoregtk-6.0 test.vala && G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all ./test
static void main() {
var vm = new JSC.VirtualMachine ();
var ctx = new JSC.Context.with_virtual_machine (vm);
var test_cls = ctx.register_class ("Test", null, null, null);
var test = new JSC.Value.object (ctx, null, test_cls);
info ("test is %s? %s", test_cls.name, test.object_is_instance_of (test_cls.name) ? "true": "false");
}test is Test? false. What I understand from the docs is I should get a new instance of the class "Test".Anyone can tell what I'm doing wrong? 😊

I really like reading blogs on programming stuff. Also the ones I can't really understand.
What I hate is this trend to write without capitalizing after full stops. like this. a full blog post. it hurts my brain. i can't read for long like this.
So a quick bookmarklet to "fix the thing":
add a new bookmark and as url put:
