@maphew is that still the case?

hackers.town: 2023-07-20 Thu 09:14

@seatek we can’t rule it out yet!

hackers.town: 2023-07-20 Thu 11:31

@kusuriya @lmorchard no.

New #Smalland update includes player levels and a fearsome tit, so you know I’ll be checking that out later today.

In Ubuntu WSL. brew install neovim failing because #Homebrew can’t grab icu4c. SSL cert problem with pkg-containers.githubusercontent.com. If I try to open that in the browser I get a Fastly “unknown domain” error.

I don’t know whether to blame Homebrew, Github, Fastly, or XFinity.

Anyways, guess it’s a good day to reboot into Linux.

Arch Linux, where the finger of blame is always pointing right at you for installing Arch Linux.

@banjofox2 That’s what I get retrying with browser in Linux as well. The Fastly error in-browser on Windows was something unrelated, apparently.

@banjofox2 Worse yet, it’s Homebrew trying to be a sealed system. I have icu libs installed at the system level. But brew wants nothing to do with those.

Honestly Homebrew on Linux usually works pretty good. But when it doesn’t oh boy.

@kusuriya ah so you’ve seen the Arch logo!

hackers.town: 2023-07-20 Thu 17:26

@kusuriya The only ones who can convincingly complain about Arch.

Much like Perl in that regard.

@maddiefuzz @kusuriya usually just when I’m on Ubuntu variants. Helps me have fresh tools without the micromanaging I need with asdf or the entirely new programming language with Nix.

Also helps following along with blog posts that assume macOS and Homebrew.

@maddiefuzz @kusuriya not at all, especially if it’s working for you!

warm enough outside i found myself wishing i had a kilt and an ice pack

@maphew well that’s annoying. Maybe I’ll start saving the images elsewhere and having the posts here link to that elsewhere.

Save a little processor and storage for my instance admin, too.

Nothing to worry about for this one, it was just a screenshot of Linea Sketch for iPad and an elaborate symmetry drawing that’s in progress. Next update will probably be in a day or two, knowing me, so you’ll be caught up in no time.
