Hey folks 🖖!
Let's do another quick #introduction as I moved to this instance - the reason being that it somehow felt like being trapped in a silo :).
I'm Davy, a senior software engineer currently living in France and working for #startups in Germany since 2014.
I love #nature, #opensource, #science and many other things.
Currently doing a bunch of #java and #typescript at work. Nowadays, my main focus is on #zig & #rust.

Zig language adds support for OpenBSD libc as a cross compilation target - It allows to cross-compile C, C++, and Zig programs to OpenBSD for any CPU (x86/64, ARM, aarch64, RISC-V, PowerPC...) #Zig #OpenBSD https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/pulls/30064

Lots to love about #Codeberg right now.
#Zig moved to it. LibreWolf is using it. Many #Fediverse projects use it including the FEP process. #Fedora set up their own Forgejo instance (the underlying software for Codeberg).
Now #Gentoo is switching from GitHub to Codeberg!
I've migrated most of my projects there as well.
Every one of these stories is a win for #OpenSource and a middle finger to #Microslop, which is a win-win all around. 😊

Zig is not F’ing memory safe, https://ohadravid.github.io/posts/2025-05-zig-mem-safety/.
It doesn’t pretend to be, but it clarifies things 😛.

🦾 Phoenix Emerges as a Modern X Server Written From Scratch in Zig // Linuxiac
｢ it is not yet another fork of the Xorg codebase and does not reuse its legacy code. Instead, according to devs, Phoenix aims to show that the X11 protocol itself is not inherently obsolete and can be implemented in a simpler, safer, and more modern way ｣
