ltheanine··on We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
> There’s an awe to a true night sky that I think has real psychological impact.

Nightfall by Isaac Asimov

ltheanine··on NixOS 26.05
Not the same thing but you can go in the other direction using https://blue-build.org/reference/recipe/. You can have a nixos-style bazzite distribution where you import the bazzite base image and layer your custom config on top of it.
ltheanine··on AUR packages compromised with Infostealer and Rootkit
Absolutely! Supply chain attacks are always going to be a problem, but just letting someone take over a package because it hasn’t been touched in a while seems like a really poor policy.

If you want to change it, fork it!

ltheanine··on FPS.cob: A first person shooter in COBOL
It would be nice to have screenshots. Also it’s just a single commit, did you use AI? Quoting the readme: “FPS.cob is what you get when you decide that game development is too easy nowadays”.
ltheanine··on Dav2d
Yeah I suppose it’s named after dav1d but still seems like a pretty unfortunate name collision.
ltheanine··on A Wayland Compositor in Minecraft
With this compositor I’d think it could do anything at this point.
ltheanine··on Opening calc.exe from the S&Box C# sandbox
This was cool to read. I was excited to hear about s&box before I found out it was a platform more akin to Roblox or Fortnite. I hadn’t considered the security challenges that creates either.
ltheanine··on Claude Code Cheat Sheet
> Ctrl+P to print. Works on mobile too.

There’s something funny about this statement on a description of a key bind cheat sheet. I can’t seem to find ctrl on my phone and I think it may be cmd+p on mac.
