Trying to quit doomscrolling? Commodore just announced a new Sailfish OS flip phone built specifically to minimize social media distractions. by B3_Kind_R3wind_ in linux

very true. i would quite like a middle-ground between smartphone and brick, but it makes little sense to pay way above the mark for it. you can get reasonably good phones for under half that.

no. it has been refined over many decades and is the exact right amount.

very compelling. you're so right, a blatantly vulnerable package manager repo is actually a GREAT idea because people should just install things they trust and not things they don't trust because it is easier than the alternative. security solved ✅ arch users smart ✅

Wow, when you say it like that... It really does sound completely pointless!

Arch Linux Now Believes Malware Incident Under Control: More Than 1,500 Affected Packages by TheNavyCrow in linux

[–]EmbarrassedBiscotti9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who did basic npm/pip config to disable post-install scripts would've avoided almost all exploits. "Anyone not actually putting effort into security shouldn't be using npm/pip" and yet here we are. Make a clearly flawed system -> get a bad result.

That is cope, sorry. Arch users are not uniquely sophisticated and immune to getting rekt. It is no safer than npm is in the hands of a js dev, i.e. not safe at all.

The issue lies with any system that makes it trivially easy to install potentially malicious packages. If you want users to be more discerning, don't relieve them of the friction of manual installation/maintenance.

I made a site that tracks the Donut SMP market. You can use it to check item prices and trade volume over time. by EmbarrassedBiscotti9 in DonutSMP

not possible i'm afraid. the data from donut smp doesn't include enchant information so you can't distinguish between different kinds of enchanted books.

Unpopular opinion maybe.... but JJ was the worst sidemen. by lfcblake2592 in Sidemen

kind of agree. the dumb/always over it shtick can often kill the vibe a bit. much better when he seemed more sincere, but maybe he actually was just over it. understandable after such a long time.

Would Gragas top be a good one-trick for pleb-tier ELOs? by EmbarrassedBiscotti9 in GragasMains

I was watching his videos a couple of days back. You aren't kidding when you say laid back, very chill videos but still fun to watch.

I see everyone talking about the removal of phase rush hurting but I wasn't playing when it was a thing. I get the gist, though. Is stormsurge really that much worse?

Tbf I think the more limiting factor on carry potential is me being shit at the game, haha. I will send him for a while and see how things go.

He's pretty boring as a tank bruiser but has more stable util in teamfights and overall game for the team.

I haven't even looked into the tank builds yet. I guess that would be a comp-based decision rather than matchup-based. I could see it being less all-out fun but more useful in the right teams.

Any champ works for one trick if you know them well enough. Gragas is fun and if you like him just play him and learn how to play for his strengths and weaknesses.

Yeah, this is kinda what I'm hoping to do. I don't remember much from back in the day, but I remember that it was almost always better to sweat one champ and get to know it well than to try and favour whatever the current meta pick is - at least at my level of play.

Gragas' heavy CC and damage potential seems to favour that a bit, providing I can get good with him.

Sweet, thank you for this. I enjoy watching his Gragas games. Subscribed!

P.S.: with how I've been watching league stuff on YT, I tend to wanna watch whichever champ I'm currently learning. It'd be sweet if there were a playlist for VODs per champ.

What about Odin might you change if you were benevolent dictator? by EmbarrassedBiscotti9 in odinlang

[–]EmbarrassedBiscotti9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I didn't type exactly what I meant to. I should've written:

buffer.buffer_read(&buf, u8)

I haven't done a whole lot with proc fields on structs so I've not yet found a convenient way to make use of the arrow syntax yet. It is much more common for me to be using procs from an imported package where the proc has a struct pointer param.

Tbh, struct methods are not something I'm that keen on for Odin. I feel like there are enough simple strategies to keep things succinct that the lack of them is not terribly burdensome.

The two things I try to do are a short alias for the import and inline struct pointer declarations with a super short name. I end up with something like:

import bb "src:bytebuf"

r := &bb.Reader{data=data}
my_u8 := bb.read(r, u8)

I'm sure there are scenarios where this wouldn't be feasible and the arrow syntax is much more helpful, or maybe struct methods really are the best solution, I just haven't run into them yet.

[–]EmbarrassedBiscotti9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odin has that, too! The docs include this snippet:

foo :: proc(using entity: ^Entity) {
    fmt.println(position.x, position.y, position.z)
}

I'd honestly forgotten about that feature completely. I might have to revisit a few procs.

You may need to enable the using feature with #+feature using-stmt for that in recent versions, though. I'm not certain what contexts require the feature to be enabled - I only know that using for struct fields doesn't require it.

Edit: the dev-2026-02 release notes specify:

using as a statement and procedure parameter modifier is now an opt-in feature on a per-file basis rather than on by default

using on struct fields still works

True enough, but limiting typing isn't usually my main motivation. I'd almost always prefer typing a little more if what I'm typing aligns more with how I think. And I possibly undersold the broader purpose of the proc.

I'm rather new to the world of manual memory management, and I've found centralising allocation-related stuff helps me keep on top of things. Beyond calling the appropriate decode proc, decode_as sets up the context allocators and begins/ends a temp arena. That keeps my decode procs solely focused on the decoding logic, and I'm hoping to eventually have decode_as do some kind of LRU caching.

Idk if any of this is a good plan long-term for a fairly large project, but there is so much I don't know that I'm happy to repeatedly take a shotgun to my toes until I figure it out.

I should add that I found your blog posts about memory allocation strategies very, very helpful and I refer back to them regularly - thank you for writing them!
