So, it seems like there’s a general convergence in the ether, because for the past few weeks I’ve been sending emails back and forth to our samba team, about the messy samba ebuilds in portage. Meanwhile, both slarti and beu … Continue reading →

See, here’s the thing Donnie, I think the planet should honestly make available all the blogs from a dev who chooses to be on it. I think it’s a silly rule to have it be only on-topic. What is on-topic … Continue reading →
