well I just switched to rspack (and lightningcss), that was on my list anyway

Okay well JPEG-XL might not be supported in browsers but nobody said I can't use it as an "original" format in my blog's content/ directory, right?

(Note: I'm still serving AVIF to browsers)

Showing total file sizes: 1.1GiB for PNG, 16MB for JPEG-XL. I explain I used lossy compression with quality 30, which is still visually undistinguishable

@Igigog those are very large pictures, and I used lossy compression for those JXL

@dysfun @icing I wouldn't say "based upon" — ring is one of the available crypto backends, aws-lc-rs is another one

fasterthanlime ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@dysfun @icing nope:

> While Rustls itself is platform independent, by default it uses aws-lc-rs for implementing the cryptography in TLS. See the aws-lc-rs FAQ for more details of the platform/architecture support constraints in aws-lc-rs.
>
> ring is also available via the ring crate feature: see the supported ring target platforms.

@dysfun @icing the ecosystem is still lagging behind a bit afaict (rustls 0.22 vs 0.23), but we'll get there.

So I'm probably doing it wrong, right, but one of the (technical) downsides to nix is that I think it currently needs to fetch several gigabytes' worth of things from cache to finish evaluating and come to the conclusion that it.. doesn't need to do much at all?

Every time I sit on a draft instead of shooting a video I learn something more that's relevant to the video

The logical conclusion is I should simply never shoot videos

In other words, the video that never gets made tends towards perfection at a steady pace

@bjorn3 !! all 689 crates in the dep graph of my website do compile under aarch64-apple-darwin (but do not link, either with the hacky patch in you-know-which-wasmtime-issue, or with the classic linker).

I'm really excited though!

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@bjorn3 So cargo-clif itself wouldn't build with the classic linker (exported via setting $RUSTFLAGS), I had to check out cranelift, apply the patch in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/8730#issuecomment-2143671958 and then it'd build

For my crates, I also had to patch ring to comment out two assertions: https://gist.github.com/fasterthanlime/eb2a81ddd9d36eaa6d9275d265a5c04c

Here's an asciinema of both failing scenarios (classic linker first, XCode 15 second): https://asciinema.org/a/MK9nHfKbqFleHrHjlic5KHcwr — note that the patch I applied to cranelift may hurt here? not sure.

There’s such a wealth of neat little apps for macOS (until Apple sherlocks them) you don’t really have on Windows. The Microsoft store has a few indie apps but.. with wildly inconsistent UI and super frustrating experience.

On macOS I recently discovered SuperWhisper, and MindMac, and Rectangle Pro, and they’re all so good! Such pleasant experiences.

@mikkelens I guess the website says no, but the GitHub says yes

@mikkelens Some of the common code may have compiled by chance but all the platform specific stuff (X11 etc) isn’t accidental 😌

fasterthanlime OP ,

@mikkelens Well they’re also working on the Windows build for sure - but I don’t know how hard it is to build!
