The conference was amazing and I had a lot of fun and learned a bunch!
Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Hey! I will speak at #OpenTofuDay Europe in Amsterdam on March 23!
In my talk, we will see how to package OpenTofu and its providers, and we will exercise that to migrate from Terraform 0.12.x to OpenTofu 1.11.x.

@nprofile…vf35 My main laptop is called "boh". My workstation is called "abacus" that is the local shop where I bought it. And my Pinebook Pro is called "pinebookpro" (not just Pinebook because that's the hostname of my original Pinebook)!
You have definitely more creativeness than me! ;)

@nprofile…lanw Oh, I thought it SIGSEGV-ed somewhere in the middle while it was running. Good luck / debugging! (I've seen Nick investigated it so sounds like great news!)
I'm also wondering if I should try to get a riscv too to get some fun as well! :)

@nprofile…lanw "sh -x" could be more interesting then! :)

@nprofile…lanw It's surprising how much of decade(s) old bugs are still relevant! (But also very satisfying fixing them! :))

I have just learned by accident (I thought it was a PDF but it was actually a DOCX!) that MuPDF supports Office (XML) files too, like docx/pptx/xlsx, cool!
Exact layout is not preserved but that can be pretty handy to skim documents.

@nprofile…sr9k pipe everything through `gz`! I'm just kidding! I'm sure it will be great and in time!
Buona fortuna Stefano!

Hello @nprofile…t4qe !
(I bookmarked this but forgot to reply in time, SRY!)
If you retry NetBSD again and you had not already tried it is probably worth to run `xcompmgr` or other compositing manager in X11 otherwise there could be graphical corruptions. (I think that for using Intel video cards it is assumed to run xcompmgr, picom or similar)
(I usually just put `xcompmgr &` in ~/.xinitrc and forget about it.)
I hope this will help!

I'm both proud and ashamed of this kludge to avoid using patchelf! Adjusting ELF's DT_NEEDED via a regular expression:
perl -e '$r = "\x00" x (length($ENV{"LPEG"}) - length("lpeg.so"));' -i -pe 's;$ENV{"LPEG"};lpeg.so$r;' .../bin/nvim
#neovim #pkgsrc
