I am working on a #C project again, building the CI/CD pipeline, including running unittests for C code (C99!!!).

Seeing the architecture and (imho) well crafted coding standards I introduced a while ago in this project being adapted is quite satisfying.
I even got the feedback that a failing test saved the devs time and prevented from errors to be just found on the hardware, which in #embedded projects is always a bit more tricky than in "simple" web apps

@stefano October '83 I worked with Siemens Data and was sent with some colleages to the release event of #Sinix, the Siemens Unix, and a mini computer series with that OS. Subsequently I took courses in the OS and #C programming. I read the first edition of "The C Programming Language" in German(!)
I was hooked. Since then it was primarily #Unix for me.

Yes, and I find it quite good.

And to run it as a #FastCGI, you don't even need a VPS: a cheap shared hosting supporting #CGI will run #snac2 just fine! https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

That's why I prefer it to gotosocial.
Also I try to avoid #Go as much as possible cause it's a #Google's thing.

Snac is written in a pretty readable (and a bit clever, sometimes) #C.
And if you know C even a little bit, it's really worth a read.

@rnkpplr Mein Protest gegen den Verfall des #C in der #Union erfolgt nicht, weil ich mir sicher wäre, den säkularen #Rechtsruck noch aufhalten zu können. Sondern er erfolgt aus der Sorge, dass sich eine der letzten Parteien der europäischen #Christdemokratie selbst aufgibt & damit auch #Deutschland dem fossilen #Faschismus ausliefert. Schweigen ist für mich keine Option mehr, gerade WEIL ein Scheitern denkbar geworden ist… 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺🔥

Nein, Jens #Spahn - als Christ, seit 30+ Jahren #CDU - Mitglied & Teil einer deutsch-türkischen Familie mit drei Kindern „sehe“ ich nicht in der Vielfalt der Menschen im #Stadtbild ein Problem, sondern in kaputter Infrastruktur, Unrecht & deren Verharmlosung durch #Rassismus.

Ihr Rechtslibertären seht in anderen Menschen offensichtlich nicht mehr das Bild Gottes, sondern nur noch Nutzwerte vs. Bedrohung. Das #C steht aber nicht für Capitalismus, Conzerne & Corruption. https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/etwas-ausgesprochen-was-jeder-sieht-spahn-verteidigt-merz-aussagen-zu-migration-im-stadtbild-14601257.html

C'est mauvais, ça, non ?

Hey! If its remote, its possible to work world wide too!

I am so stuck in making this C/OpenBSD based website.

It's funny how much work it is to do things that are like trivial in
Flask/PHP/Django etc.

But I don't mind at all. I'm pretty confident I could run this on
any low level hardware. Like I keep wanting a 486 or pentium 1
and it would probably run just fine. I guess the https might be
the real expensive part :)

Anywho, I added email sending:
https://alive.d34d.net/emailtest/

Again you won't see anything, it sends it to me.
I am afraid to put an email form on a public page that did
anything more than email me.

If you notice I put ?r=12312312-123123 url params on all of
links that would have dynamic content. That is because I am using
#links2 to an it will otherwise cache the pages.

Just to give you an idea of how much software GCC 14's default of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration breaks, here are two pkgsrc bulk build results:

GCC 13.3.0: 24835/28450
GCC 14.3.0: 2589/28450

https://reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upstream/trunk/20250630.2248/meta/report.html

https://reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upstream/trunk/20250701.2248/meta/report.html

I also had to fix up a bunch of things before the build would even start.

This could take a while. And then the fun starts all over again with GCC 15's changes...
