<fossy>hey OriansJ` would you mind implementing pipe() for kaem?
<fossy> https://ttm.sh/ERa.txt
<fossy>here's a test
<DKordic>Re: Spam. ""White List""ing, ""Black List""ing... AFAIK ""Shadow Ban"" is a simple kind of BLack Listing.
<DKordic>Greetings everyone :3 .
***ChanServ sets mode: +o rekado
<OriansJ`>fossy: looks like a trivial syscall needed for implementation. should be rather trivial to add to M2-Planet
<OriansJ`>Greetings DKordic
<DKordic>:3
***OriansJ` is now known as OriansJ
<OriansJ>DKordic: what fun are you working on today?
<DKordic>Studing AMD64.
<DKordic>You?
<DKordic>I am wondering why is the choice of Web Browser as liberating as a choice of Linux Distribution.
<DKordic>Or even better a choice of a COmputer System?!
<OriansJ>DKordic: what about AMD64 are you studying?
<DKordic>I am at the very beginning :3 . ATM my goal is the Boot sequence.
<OriansJ>as for why choice of web browser tends to be so important, it probably is because most people spend most of their time interacting with web services; thus making it a major shaping influence to their experiences
<OriansJ>DKordic: well the Boot sequence is the same as X86, with the minor addition of setting the CPU into long mode
<DKordic>w3m was very... refereshing (for a lack of a better word) for me.
<OriansJ>DKordic: liking the emacs keybindings or the minimal web experience?
<DKordic>The minimal web experience.
<OriansJ>DKordic: have you played with lynx yet?
<DKordic>""Midori"" seemed like it would be a joy, until I realized it has a WebKit dependency!! Is WebKit an implementation detail?!
<OriansJ>have you checked out netsurf? or dillo?
<DKordic>Not yet. I will try to compile lynx from sources. Any additional suggestions? First time I hear about netsurf and dillo.
<OriansJ>guix build makes that rather trivial for all of them
<OriansJ>DKordic: one must remember to many programmers WebKit is just another library dependency, they don't think that deeply about it.
<DKordic>That is a Conditional Proposition :3 , where Guix is the Assumption.
<DKordic>Yes. I bet they haven't been burned. It reminds me of ""Pain We Forgot"" ( http://www.lighttable.com/2014/05/16/pain-we-forgot/ ) .
<OriansJ>DKordic: well the assumption of just guile is a rather minimal base for bootstrapping major tooling like linux
<DKordic>Good point.
<OriansJ>but if I remember correctly they also have relatively clean build processes
<OriansJ>Dillo just needs a little extra to enable ssl/tls support if I remember correctly
<lfam>What's wrong with webkit?
<OriansJ>lfam: it is a personal preference some people have in regards to the size of the library and some of social properties involved in its development.
<lfam>I see
<lfam>It is quite big
<OriansJ>bigger than most web browsers that use it.
<OriansJ>but then again people have similiar feelings about gnome3 but I guess that is the great thing about our community. Opting for something different is always possible.
