Armoede bestrijden is goedkoop! Het is niet alleen moreel het juiste om te doen, het scheelt zoveel geld!

Good lord. Talk of the ruination of the web on here today I decided to see what it was like just straight up raw dogging my browsing habits for a little while. No ad blockers, no blocking cookie popups etc.
People actually USE this?!

Why does this work matter on converting to an asynchronous runtime?
One big goal of the Lix project is to bring forth a uniform and standard inter-process communication protocol for talking to Lix and performing operations.
Similar to what you can see in the Snix (snix.dev) project, evaluation, store and build operations are split in a neat way and gRPC ties them together.
In Lix, we pursue a similar goal where we fission the client and the daemon into smaller pieces glued via the IPC!

Thanks to the awesome @leftpaddotpy and 9999years (I don't have their fedi?!), we now have #Lix 2.93.0: https://lix.systems/blog/2025-05-06-lix-2.93-release/.
The release notes contain a lot of goodies, nevertheless, another cool thing about it is that it contains a tremendous effort from eldritch horrors to rewrite the I/O and threading model to KJ: the Cap'n'Proto asynchronous runtime.
This unveiled a massive amount of hidden ordering constraints in the codebase, very hard to debug.

This brought to you by my ongoing frustration at people using their personal situation or yes, sometimes even marginalized status, as an excuse to be uncaring and negligent towards others.
My bluntly honest view on "building a better world together", as it relates to what individual people contribute:
I don't want to hear about all of the ways in which you can't contribute because of your circumstances. Everybody has circumstances. I want to hear about the margins you've worked to find in your life where you *can* make a difference, even if a small one.
If there are no such margins and you claim that there's no way you can do *anything at all*, then I simply will not believe that you've even tried.
I don't expect you to change the world on your own, or to contribute in any one specific way. I *do* expect you to try your best and introspect on your role in society, as I expect from everyone else, myself included.

hackers are really rational people who truly think for themselves, unlike all other people
(don't ask about Club Mate, Lenovo ThinkPads, Engelbert Strauss and Paulaner Spezi)
It's actually *really* weird that driver's licenses, specifically, are seen as a valid form of government ID in a lot of places.

Seems like I'm not the only one noticing an uptick in channer and nazi memes being boosted.
Is something specific going on? Or is it just the normal ebb & flow?

Baby steps.
I made a little #rustic step-ladder for the living room using a maple yoke piece that I ripped down the middle. And I added a removable slide for the junior woodworkers to have a some indoor playground fun.

I don't think #spooncarving will ever be my main thing but it's such a nice way to practice and experiment. This little spoon is for the sugar bowl. It was a piece of birch around a knot that I almost threw in the compost but then I thought it might be worth trying to work that swerving grain.

In retrospect, maybe organizing the whole world via Teen-Chat and Celebrity-Quip products was not a good idea.

And there are lots of other examples where folks seem to bargain with extractive technologies and avoid the debate about environmental damage by talking about the good intentions and organization of the makers.

An organic, fair-trade, community-governed, collectively-owned, open-source oil rig is still an oil rig.
Intentions, governance, ownership, etc. are all super important, but you also need to be honest about what the thing does and the consequences.
I'm lookin' at you "Open-Source Local LLMs".

My own testing has shown it outperforms the others *and* doesn’t box you into weird licenses and questionable leadership promises.
