F# compiler is cross os and allows cross compilation (dotnet build --runtime xxx), its packaged in most Linux distros as dotnet.

> Yeh, I've been tinkering around a year with a Bevy-competitor, Amethyst until that project shut down. By now, I just don't think Rust is good for client-side or desktop game development.

I don't think your experience with Amethyst merits your conclusion of the state of gamedev in rust, especially given Amethysts own take on Bevy [1, 2].

Wasm executes as its own VM, so you'll need some js glue to display something in the browser.

This means you can go both ways, either embed something like imgui in your wasm, or build a ui using html.

zxvkhkxvdvbdxz··on Sixos: A nix OS without systemd [video]
> Can anybody explain to me again why systemd is so bad ?

Mostly I seen misguided criticism from less technical people that don't understand systemd but seem to like the idea of fitting in and have identified that a certain few verbal linux users they consider to be cool hate it with passion.

It's really dumb and boring and they often resort to just make stuff up. This thread has a bunch of such comments.

Systemd solves countless real problems and helped linux grow in many ways.

zxvkhkxvdvbdxz··on Go Is a Well-Designed Language
> If you want to add two days you can't just call Add(0 /years/, 0 /months/, 2 /days/), you need to use AddDate.

Sorry for nit-picking, but 2 days is a duration of time, and you can add one using Add, like this:

    t.Add(time.Hour * 24 * 2)
I agree about FFI being a weak point in go when you need to interact with other languages, but it can hopefully be mitigated by using tinygo, which is still being developed.

Sure, same setup for PulseAudio or for PipeWire, iirc.

Btw, consider moving to PipeWire instead as it's the preferred a/v daemon these days.

zxvkhkxvdvbdxz··on Airflow – Stream media files directly from macOS to AirPlay devices
Back in the stone age when I used macOS there was an app called Beamer for this [1]. Then it got competition from AirParrot [2].

And now this, apparantly.

Maybe it should be a feature included in macOS itself?

IMO remote mounts is a feature of the OS.

For Linux and macOS, you can mount ssh directly.

Unfortunatley, Windows makes it a little more complicated.

But there's hope. You can use yasfw with dokany (dokan fork).

Or mount from inside WSL.

Same! I love that it is so snappy and fast, and don't choke on larger files. I use it for all of my non-programming note taking. I also hope it don't turn into a IDE.

i went with precense sensors instead, stuff light up as i move across the house, and will be removing the switches.

zxvkhkxvdvbdxz··on How I Use Home Assistant in 2025
seems your issues started from the beginning. you bought a HA voice believing it was a home assistant server.

it says right on their sales page it is a "voice assistant" and that it is "built for home assistant". [1]

then you didnt want to buy the HA green that is a home assistant appliance with HAOS already setup for people who don't want to diy it (like you didnt).

next you downloaded a .vdi and didnt research what it is or how to install it.

then you complain about docker images, although it is absolutely possible to run in docker as long as you understand the limitations [2]. did you even read this?

> hmm. new macs dont have apt-get anymore.

they never did. why dont you read whats in all of your screenshots? it says right above "if your OS don't have that, look for alternatives".

> Installing Virtualbox and double clicking the .vdi file i downloaded from earlier gives.... nothing

well, what do you expect? it's a disk image, not a executable. again, the installation instructions for macOS can help you here, you should read it [3]

> anyway, it looks like the default vdi ships with some well known bugs but ALSO its now just straight up missing the \EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi file it expects to load. I found one you can download here and learned that you can import them into the vm via shared folders.

you found a post from 2021, it is not relevant today. then you started replacing files... oh man!

your actual issue is that you didn't configure the vm like the installation guide showed you.

next you got it running in docker. advice to you: don't. you will not be able to use addons and thus no hacs.

> of course it just expects the networking to work when of course it wont fucking work

> i tried ngrok to setup a tunnel but it just resulted in a bunch of bad 400 bad request errors

you must learn how docker networks work to progress here. docker only listen locally by default and you need to instruct it otherwise if that's what you want.

TLDR: you should have just started by reading the installation instructions, it explains to you:

> Home Assistant offers four different installation methods. We recommend using Home Assistant Operating System.

then you should follow the recommendation and be done long ago.

you seem frustrated and not keen on reading or learning.

not sure who you expect to take action based on that rant.
