So, pin post and whatever: I mainly work on NetBSD these days, where I'm responsible for:
- porting and updating various software in pkgsrc (which (in)directly leads to contributions in a variety of open source projects)
- maintaining lua

If you want to contribute to this work financially, contributions will mainly be used to keep me alive and happy and go to monthly expenses.

I added a first way to process zig.build.zon files (for zig packages with dependencies) for pkgsrc, it works for zls (regardless of chroot'ed installs of zig being broken right now in pkgsrc).
To be solved: website independent, no name field other than "$foo = .{ .... }," where "$foo" is the name, so no easy way to extract a name for a distfile to save in distfiles - doubtful if it works in a chroot.

printers used to be terrible shit 10-20 years ago with CUPS. can someone tell me if the HP LaserJet MFP M140w works with recent cups (Linux, BSD. don't really have to ask about macOS as it probably just works)

"Dear Berlin friends, I’m looking for a full time job!
I’m a musician and I’m looking for a video game audio job for a video game company as my first choice!
But also I can do construction and building with my hands and tools, I can drive and do deliveries, I can also make coffee and work in service, retail etc!
I’m not getting any luck with my applications but I’m sure if you introduced me I can make an impression. Thanks for your time ❤️"

Maybe someone in the Berlin crowd knows people...?

do actual good guitarrack stands which can hold accoustic guitars, electric basses, and electric guitars exist, or am I doomed to buy single stands? Any recommendations in brands?

Via Duisburger Stadttauben:
Irgendwie ist es kaum zu glauben.
Aktuell ist ein kleines Taubenhaus in der Innenstadt in greifbare Nähe gerückt.

Es ist ein Pilotprojekt, welches unter Umständen den Weg für weitere Häuser bereitet.
Egal ob ihr Tauben mögt oder nicht, am Ende sitzen wir im gleichen Boot.
Die einen möchten keine nervigen Tauben sehen oder das sie ihre Autos, Gebäude und Balkone vollkoten. Während die anderen ihnen ein Zuhause geben und die Population regulieren möchten.
Beide Bedürfnisse kann man mit einem Taubenhaus lösen.

Jetzt zählt für uns jeder Euro.

Teilt und liked diesen Beitrag soviel ihr könnt und unterstützt unsere Kampagne.

Vielen lieben Dank
❤️🕊️

In search of good earplugs:

Are there any, no matter what price range, noise protection earplugs which allow you to hear the full range at concerts in the audience/while playing yourself? So far everything (cheap/moderate level) I've had cut out ranges for me and made the music sound terrible. As I've been going to concerts for a really long time (on and off with protection) and I'll continue to do so in the years to come, what earplugs can you recommend? #question #musicians #concerts
