We talk about the stereotypical Linux user. Is it an unwashed bearded guy with a skin problem? Is it a privacy absolutist? A command line wizard? Just a slob like one of us? We talk about a cool project that Shane found, an example of open source making a difference outside of tech. We circle back to the Linux user, might they be a tinkerer?

Whilst the other two are sunning their behinds somewhere, Amolith and Mike discuss two interesting projects - Amolith's own Willow, and Hare programming language that Mike has recently gotten into.

Willow

How to get a feed of GitHub releases

Gitea and Forgejo have release feeds, but GitLab doesn't

Git tags

Apparently, other source code management systems exist:

Mercurial

Fossil

Willow might end up in a Slackware install near you

Go templates

The plan is for Willow to be ready by this year's Ubuntu summit, where Amolith will be giving a talk on it.

Application lifecycle management

Hare

Hare's IRC channel (opens in an IRC client)

Drew DeVault's blog

There actually is a tutorial

Hare specs

High level data structures in Hare

The venerable top, and its descendants:

Htop

Btop++

Jtop

The Ares Operating System, a blog post on it and from it.
