VSCode is having normal one, it coredumps (but doesn't visibly crash) in the background, every now and then. I notice my CPU just spins mad and then:

Process 552756 (code) of user 1000 dumped core.

Odd that it doesn't crash, some background process clearly does.

imgui_bundle, a library for writing GUI apps with Python is amazing.

What is less amazing is that they are doing *exactly* what Wayland critics of protocol ext-zones was afraid of, misusing the reposition API to drag windows around. 🤦

In this case though, they are misusing xdg_popup as a kind of 'child window', and using reposition API when dragged. But this should be done with XDG child window without decorations.

Bug could be in #SDL or #Imgui_bundle

#Wayland #Linux #Python #ImGui

I think #KDE's XDG Toplevel Icon V1 implementation may have a bug, or bug is in Google Chrome's way of using it.

systemd-run is cool, you can run some command and make sure it writes only to current directory:

systemd-run --user --quiet --pty --collect --pipe --service-type=exec --same-dir \
--property=ProtectSystem=strict \
--property=ProtectHome=read-only \
--property=ReadWritePaths="$(pwd)" \
your-command

It is notable that I don't include other flags, so this 'sandbox' is very very leaky, but anyhow.

#systemd #linux

Woohoo! Persistence is winning.

"Wayland Positioning Protocol Is Finally Merged"

Why this matters? Well, try to write an app that shows dialog only on occasion, your only protcol is WLR Layer Shell at the moment, because it allows to position itself via coordinates.

With this update, there is hope one can just use regular old windows when it makes sense.

Compiled deno app uses 26MB of memory (initially at least), thats about same amount as my Rust app.

If I wrote Wayland wrapper for Deno, I could use it to write native apps. Yes binaries are a bit bloated, but not memory usage.

#Deno #Rust #Wayland #Linux

You might not need Tauri or Electron if you want to write with HTML/CSS native feeling apps.

Write web server (choose your language), that listens on localhost, then executes:

google-chrome-stable --new-window --app=http://localhost:3030/stats

This will open native looking window with taskbar button.

Make it so that when HTTP requests stop coming the native app kills itself.

Simple!

Trying #Zig again, same problems as last time I tried. How to intall zig and zls? Well, I installed from Fedora 43 zig, but then ZLS doesn't work. I install ZIG VSCode extension, and click install ZLS, it doesn't do anything. Then I try "Install ZIG to workspace" via extension, and ZLS still doesn't install.

It's like they don't care about ZLS, it always is the problem when starting up with zig.
