Is there a reliable and good European domain name registrar? I don’t need anything fancy, but prefer to not deal with garbage companies. Non US is in today’s world definitely a must.

@normalniklas@mastodonsweden.se Kanske skulle vara värt att titta på, det kostar ju inget annat än tid.

@normalniklas@mastodonsweden.se Jag har hört mycket bra om Jellyfin på diverse podcasts, men inte provat själv. Vi körde Plex ett antal år sedan, men i något skede så minskade behovet att se på våra gamla rippade DVD-filmer och installationen ruttnade bort.

Meh. Seems our trusty old Synology NAS has developed a case of not booting up. Wasn't on my bingo card of things that had to go wrong now, but here we are. And Synology has caught a severe case of late stage US capitalism it doesn't seem to be possible to just take the disks and put them in a newer unit as Synology now requires their own branded and expensive disks. Fucking fuck. We have backups, of course, but restoring somewhere is really annoying. #synology #nas #dystopy

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe The entire project is using CMake. It’s not big by far, a few hundred classes and a dozen or so external libraries (Boost, audio, streaming, web, logging, JSON etc). I build for the three main OS:es in a few configurations. Nothing complicated really, pretty standard stuff. I tried to get a static Windows build the other day and it just wouldn’t work. The runtime crap fought me all the way and the developer tools are actively hostile towards developers.

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe I expect to spend as little time here as possible and get back to working on Linux and Mac as soon as things work ok. I expect that the full VS would start to impose own things onto this already fragile project which would break everything. MS is not known for playing well with others. I did use the "full" VS when I last worked on this port about 12 years ago and it was ok back then as I let it do its own project files and whatnot.

@archipylago@mementomori.social I enjoy the talks and seeing some people, even though I’m far too antisocial to participate. I love the super friendly atmosphere you guys have built up. A big thank you for doing this.

Tonight the local Python community has a meeting. Fun to see some other developers every now and then, doesn’t happen every week. Here the Python release manager gives a short overview of new stuff in 3.14.

My biggest annoyance with SwiftUI has to be that so many modifiers are for a View, but there’s so many cases where they don’t work. Like .refreshable. It seems to only work on List. It does not work on Chart or VStack. If a modifier does not work on a certain view where it is perfectly legal I want to have it documented and see a warning when running in Xcode. This isn’t rocket science. Having code randomly do nothing without any warnings is extremely bad design.
