[2026-02-07T03:19:05Z] sad_plan: i just prefer using xmh and nmh to manage my email since that's what i use on sdf (or, well, nmh anyway) [2026-02-07T03:19:26Z] it's really quick and lightweight and super flexible [2026-02-07T03:20:47Z] also i've just come across "roller" brakes, they seem interesting. same principle as drum brakes, but they're much smaller, lighter-weight, and - crucially - are independent of a wheel's hub, it seems [2026-02-07T03:21:22Z] of course, they're relatively weak compared to drums, discs, or even a decent pair of rim brakes, but unless you're zipping around at a million miles a minute you're probably fine... [2026-02-07T03:33:03Z] never mind, they aren't hub-independent. i mean, makes sense, but it's still annoying. apparently only *certain* hubs from shimano can accept them. :\ [2026-02-07T03:41:57Z] seems like the only option for what i want - rollers, automatic transmission, hyperglide freehub - would be an old nuvinci n360... decisions, decisions [2026-02-07T04:07:45Z] yeah that'll have to be it. at least enviolo still has spare parts in production for their old nuvinci components [2026-02-07T05:36:28Z] are those emacs things? xmh and mnh? [2026-02-07T06:25:37Z] no [2026-02-07T06:25:41Z] i don't actually use emacs [2026-02-07T06:25:45Z] i use ed [2026-02-07T06:26:46Z] nmh is a new implementation of the older 'mh' email toolkit. it's a really nice and composable set of utilities for managing email. xmh is a xaw-based UI that drives mh implementations [2026-02-07T06:27:25Z] so nmh+xmh is your "MUA" and you would still need a simple "MTA" to actually send email to a server, from what i understand [2026-02-07T06:46:46Z] ah, so not tui clients then I suppose? :P [2026-02-07T06:48:37Z] there might be a tui frontend [2026-02-07T06:50:07Z] https://mh-e.sourceforge.io/ [2026-02-07T06:50:51Z] hm [2026-02-07T06:51:08Z] apparently there's a vi-style frontend too [2026-02-07T06:59:40Z] neat [2026-02-07T07:19:00Z] hm, would you look at that. ubase mkswap errors on `mkswap /dev/zram1`, but busybox's mkswap, does not [2026-02-07T18:08:57Z] uh, looks like go made vendoring automatic since 1.14, which is ooold [2026-02-07T18:09:38Z] I guess we could get rid of all the custom settings for go packages, all it takes is a "vendor" library (also most stuff nowadays releases specially crafted vendor zips) and just calling `go build` as is [2026-02-07T18:09:52Z] "vendor" directory* [2026-02-07T18:46:56Z] its still up to package creators to actually do this. and I dont think most people do this. ive yet to encounter it anyway [2026-02-07T18:47:36Z] I reealised the other day that bandcamp does not actually serve opus files for some reason... that kinda made me mad actually [2026-02-07T19:02:14Z] holy shit, kris_ I had no idea opus was so space saving. I converted all of my music into opus, and it went from 38G to 8.9G [2026-02-07T19:02:22Z] i knew it saved space ok, but not that much lol [2026-02-07T20:25:40Z] I'm kinda interested in if and how you guys utilize virtualization [2026-02-07T22:04:58Z] Ozymandias42: I dont have habit of virtualizing much of anything really. I either install on bare metal, or not at all. although I have used virtalbox many times. [2026-02-07T22:05:16Z] outside of that, I think using qemu is the simplest way here [2026-02-07T22:05:47Z] or the least complex way anyhow. not saying its practical though :p
