  • Gradle is pretty awful actually, I’ve had to deal with it for years when I was writing Java. It’s pretty much the #1 reason I’ve stopped doing anything Java related.

    Meson is the well designed option for C family languages. It also has support for Java, Rust, Swift, and a couple other languages. C is the most well supported though I think.

    It also has a built-in dependency downloader that respects the system installed packages (and therefore distro packagers).
















  • Since jujutsu is Git-compatible it has very much replaced Git for me and is what I’m using for everything now. Its workflow is so good and miles ahead of Git.

    I was trying out Pijul for a while before that and while it has a lot of great ideas and has a lot of potential due to the way its foundations work its interface is way too janky right now and missing features and nothing I’ve reported or the many changes I’ve submitted have been fixed/pulled since March. I’d really like it to be good but alas…


  • When I’m living somewhere where I control my home network again, I’m definitely setting this up.

    Last time I got as far as setting up DNS64/NAT64 and then Steam stopped working so I reluctantly enabled IPv4 again. CLAT seems like a great solution for that that I didn’t know about (or didn’t try)

    It would be so funny if Apple actually enforced their rule about every app having to work in an IPv6-only environment. Maybe if some of the worst offenders got kicked off the holy App Store all at once to whose every whim they usually answer, they’d actually finally bother fixing their shit.
