question: since thread_local exists, is there any technical issue to giving the user of a library extra failure information out of band in a errno-like way?
most of my personal code returns an status enum from the function anyway
so i'm just curious if there's any actual issues with the alternative of a thread_local status flag, maybe around ffi? or something else? -

@ska this is more "it did not report any errors" than "it reported success" for the errno imo
achieves the same, but it's different semantics, and less intuitive imo -

@mildsunrise what i would love is to have a common configuration format that specifies what features the target has, that doesn't involve matching the name of the libc
this even sucks because if libc foo gets feature nya down the line, all toolchains need to then be updated to add a feature when using foo's triple, but only if version >=x.y.z, which ???????? how even -

@mildsunrise
> looking at you, Rust and LLVM
i remember a rust crate that broke compilation by switching their triple code from a semi-broken parse code, to hardcoding the whole triplet in a big auto-generated list
i tried to find the issue again, but couldn't find it rn -

@wyatt @evv42 @kitten while i am a fan of those adapters myself, because of the way i use my laptop (i don't want 10 ports i'll never use)
i do admit they're sucky, gimmicky, and overpriced -- just that (exclusively) between modern high end laptops the frameworks are the best imo, not because they're amazing, but because everything else in that performance range sucks so much more -

@evv42 @wyatt @kitten try to actively work developing wine, gcc, linux kernel, or editing 1440p videos, like some people need to
having your video editor freeze every time you attempt a cut, or having a build after a git pull take an hour, is not something people want to deal with, specially at their jobs -

@wyatt @evv42 @kitten yes? kdenlive works very well, and have used davinci resolve in the past
also connecting a laptop to an external monitor is like, a thing a lot of people do -

@ska that is what we do on openrc, and it works, i just feel like it's simpler to think of timers individually -

@toast i've been running btrfs for about 4 years now, and on the last 2 years, i've lived in a house that if my mom turns on the electric kettle and the airfryer at the same time in the kitchen, the breaker trips
meaning that semi-frequently i get power outages that shuts down my system, no warning, it happened during updates, while writing files, and more
and i've never actually had any data corruption actually (save for obv. half-written files to disk and/or updates i had to restart, but that's not really corruption) -

sshfs is dead afaik, i kinda wish there was a simple alternative to sharing filesystems across the network without needing root access to export/mount like nfs
i'm still using sshfs for that so that i can code interchangeably between my laptop and desktop, without needing to sync git repo every time (often my changes are not ready to commit, and making temp commits just to sync is messy, as well as often i have files i don't want to commit, but they're just shader tests) -

@SRAZKVT so, so many cheap laptops now a days only have like 8gb ram with a 248 ssd
and i've even seen this monstrosity: Armazenamento - 128GB eMMC -- in a brazilian website
once again "X isn't scarce anymore" feels like privileged devs projecting their living situation on everyone else :/ -
