Why not just using an unused fd?

no that’s 2

don’t set it to 2, you’d lose log

stdout?

just don’t use notification fd

okay let me try

yeah that works, thanks

Why not just using an unused fd?

pictured: lua user

because I’m a dumb idiotic dumbfuck and I can’t fd

i’ve set that to 3 tho

problem is, it requires support from the daemon

oh I see now

like the -n in seatd

or -d in s6-log

So when the daemon doesn’t explicitly support notification fd you listen on a random one until it writes stuff?

you could do that, but it’s better to give up and go “if it starts, it’s ready” (aka no notification-fd)

runit logic essentially

Ah yeah okay

based seatd

Oh it is a whole protocol? Not just if there is a write on the fd we consider it ready?

does it implement logind apis/abis?

somehow it does on artix

the whole protocol is write a newline and close the fd

spec fits on a post-it

Ah xD

like smalltalk’s syntax

so that’s why it’s called smalltalk

toki pona programing language

Is the notification protocol a subset of whitespace then?

Python is a subset of tabs. 😏

In between tons of tabs you can find some code.

then a superset?

guys are there any programmers in the group? Yesterday I rebooted my chandelier with the power switch, first reboot was at 8pm, second at 12 am, on both reboots the light bulbs crashed

here’re the logs
