It's a shame that the #crystallang compiler seems to be going hayward with resources, I can't build https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec on my VM (with a DE and browser and an IDE) without oom killer killing random things. It has all 4 cores of an old i4 and 10GB of RAM, I've never experienced *any* problem building C, C++, Rust, or Java.
So it's either getting it to run on WSL (I only have WSL 1 here, running fine, so Docker is out) or using a laptop, which means it's too much work and I won't do shit.
Too bad, wanted to work on some issue I'd filed long ago, but this is not enjoyable. I've not started profiling, but the application doesn't seem to be that huge or complicated and some research had more people complaining. Yes, it's 10 year old decent hardware, but it's a small, probably typical web app and not an enterprise abomination.

Current mood: Not being able to decide if I need to write a programming language or an editor fist. At least the OS space is safe... for the moment.

Finally managed to upgrade that one server (VPS) where I don't trust the recovery, where I can't replace with a new image, and where I don't want to move hosters. Everything is well until April 2025 now. I need an exit strategy.
ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on
chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox
another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

I think it's been years since I took a couple of days off and have felt the need to work on every side project I started. I think I did touch three of them already before day 1 is over.
I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.
