This is my life now, until I finally understand Cmake. by KindaABigDyl in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Life is and will always be better writing your own Makefiles. It's literally so easy. I do not get the distaste. Cmake is arcane magic. Bazel is practically written in runes. Makefile is a just a glorified build script, but where you don't have to use a bunch of if statements to avoid building everything each time.

How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro? by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 16 points 5 days ago

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment

If you know about NixOS, then you probably know this, but Nix, the package manager/the language behind NixOS, is cross-platform.

I daily drive NixOS, but I also use Nix (and home-manager) on my Fedora music laptop, my Ubuntu home file-server, and my work Windows machine (WSL) to install and configure neovim automatically instead of copying a config, installing all the packages, and running check health over and over again until everything is set up.

I just copy my neovim.nix file over (also other things like zsh.nix) and run home-manager switch

You don't have to use NixOS to take advantage of its benefits.

What file systems are you using on your devices and why? by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 5 points 6 days ago

Ext4 bc of its speed for games and my main files. Btrfs on the root for compression

COSMIC ALPHA 1 Released (Desktop Environment Written In Rust From System76) by KindaABigDyl in c/rust@programming.dev

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

It's a bit more than iced as they've created a library on top of it, esp for the theming they desire

Open Source League of Legends remake in the works! by KindaABigDyl in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 36 points 2 months ago

I wonder if marketing this as "replacement to League" is the best move or if it should market itself as simply a new MOBA

Do all DEs store the trash in the same place? by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Also fyi there's trash-cli

I have rm aliased to trash-rm (not in sudo tho, so I can still force true deletion), so that if I remove something in terminal it also goes to trash.

You can empty the trash via trash-empty

It also uses ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash (usually ~/.local/share/Trash)

Linux kernel Rust coding guidelines are heretic. by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 42 points 3 months ago

My biggest disagreement is this:

Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do.

Always put braces around if statements. It will bite you in the butt

LibreOffice is the superior IDE for Delphi

If all kernel bugs are security bugs, how do you keep your Linux safe? by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Great reason to push more code out of the kernel and into user land

OoT-lineage-Zelda-like Camera and Movement in Godot 4 (v.redd.it)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by KindaABigDyl@programming.dev to c/godot@programming.dev

5 comments fedilink

I'm making a game that takes heavy inspiration from Zelda games like Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twlight princess, i.e. OoT-lineage Zelda as opposed to BotW & TotK and games that stem from Link to the Past. It's not a fan game, of course, but if you like OoT/MM/WW/TP/SS, then you'll (hopefully) like my game.

One central aspect to nail is the camera system these games use. There's some variation, so I've picked one to "clone." I'm basing this camera off of Wind Waker's. It has a default mode where Link runs around the camera with left and right and pushes/pulls the camera with up and down. If you wait long enough, the camera will move to be behind him, and of course there's a Z-targeting mode that will force the camera to move behind him and let him strafe. Finally, there's a free camera mode that works like the camera in a lot of modern third person games.

In terms of movement, there's walking and running, but jumping is relegated to hopping across short gaps in these games, and I've implemented that system as well.

Chinese distro (OpenKylin) made to provide independence from western technologies releses its first stable version by KindaABigDyl in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Lol is it really free of Western technologies if it's running on Linux?

How to declaratively define Strongswan VPN connections for NetworkManager? (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by KindaABigDyl@programming.dev to c/nix@programming.dev

1 comments fedilink

I have enabled the strongswan plugin for Network Manager via networking.networkmanager.enableStrongSwan.

I manually set up my work VPN using nm-applet, but obviously this won't come with me if I reinstall NixOS, so I'd like to set up the VPN using nix.

The problem is that networking.networkmanager doesn't seem to have any sort of vpn configuration system. How would I go about this?

Easy way to implement controller remapping? (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by KindaABigDyl@programming.dev to c/godot@programming.dev

4 comments fedilink

I can achieve remapping using InputMap, config files, a virtual input system, and a bunch of other stuff, but it's kind of pain tbh. Not hard just a lot of code and layers.

Has anyone made a plugin that makes controller remapping simpler in Godot?

With how much work it is to implement, it makes it kinda low ROI for a project, but I feel bad for users bc it's basically the default for all games now to have remapping.

Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck? by KindaABigDyl in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 63 points 1 year ago

It could be the devs just like programming in Rust. It's a nice language lol
