Torture device, presumably.

Michael W. Lucas’s “Networking for System Administrators” is a great resource: https://mwl.io/nonfiction/networking#n4sa

lemmy is already written in rust, though.

Amateurs. I got 0 during the last 42 years.

My experience is very limited, especially on GTK3; but I think GTK4 really streamlined listview/model operations, especially with the newly introduced GtkExpression, & the ability to bind GObject properties to expressions that the toolkit will figure out when to evaluate & plug in.

The following blog entries help establish the fundamental concepts pretty well, I think: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/07/scalable-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/08/more-on-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/09/08/on-list-models/ — but the crux of the matter really is GObject, & signalling; & ToshioCP’s tutorial fills an important gap in the existing body of documentation.

Also, the Lists section on the Gtk4 Demo app is really helpful (e.g., the comments on the ‘Clocks’ example explain how to use GtkExpression really well: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/demos/gtk-demo/listview_clocks.c?ref_type=heads#L2 ).

– EDIT: Also, I think the new GJS ‘GTK4 Book’ does a good job explaining the new widgets & data structures – so even if you aren’t using the JS bindings, the code examples can be helpful: https://rmnvgr.gitlab.io/gtk4-gjs-book/application/list-widgets/ ; I never used GJS (just C, and pygobject); but the GJS book helped me quite a bit wrt the ListStore, and setting up DBus connectivity:

Not an answer to the question, but the ‘ToshioCP’ tutorials on gtk4 & gobject have been very helpful to me, to wrap my mind around the relevant concepts in C: https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial; https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gobject-tutorial — the gobject tutorial is probably even more helpful than the gtk4 tutorial, as it explains signal handling etc.

Yeah, I’m really happy with my Leopold which I’ve been using for the past 3 months. I used to have Unicomp before that; and while the typing feel was a little better than the brown switches I currently have on the Leopold, its build quality was lower, and eventually it just died on me thanks to what I later found out was a notoriously failure-prone controller they used to use back then. I’m told that Unicomp’s build quality has improved a lot since then.

… though the frustrating thing is that I was able to get the Unicomp only because I was living in the US at the time; and the Leopold I got thanks to relatives in S. Korea. Where I live, ‘mechanical keyboard’ is treated like a synonym for ‘gamer keyboard’, and all the BS associated with that.

So excellent off the shelf brands exist, though one has to do some local research first.

Federation? Glad to hear they finally cracked FTL space travel.

projects like this one – aren’t a novel thing, though. BSD userlands, clang, alpine linux, etc. have existed for a while; & corps have sponsored them to some degree. What makes this rust initiative different?
