Recently I switched from the #Profanity #XMPP client to #Dino. The reason being that Dino supports Message Archive Management and thus plays much nicer with Conversations which I use on my mobile.

I have now updated my PGP signed list of OMEMO keys accordingly: https://vimja.website/omemo_fingerprints.md.asc

That said, I am not sure how much I like the idea of #Zig. Is it really a good idea to introduce a new system programming panguage which is not memory safe?

Being an #awesome user and a fan of rust, I was originally hoping for way cooler, but that project has long since died. Then my hopes were for fireplace who are working on a native wayland library for rust. Pretty cool. But they only just recently restarted work on the window manager after more than 3 years. I think they have some way to go before fireplace becomes an option for a daily driver.

So just this week, two interests of mine have come together to present me with a new solution.

I've been looking for a tiling window manager for #wayland for a while.

This week, LWN.net linked an article on the #zig programming language. While looking around, I discovered the #river window manager which is written in zig.

It is packaged for #Gentoo (although in an overlay), works and its sample config is very close to how I use #awesome.

This is the clock on the (outside of) Firence main station.

I would have guessed that this way of displaying the time was only invented with the introduction of digital 7-segment watches. But evidently I was wrong - the train station, including the clock, was completed in 1935.

Wait, is this bodybuilder's keyboard really a Unicomp Mini M?
