Life changer

Just got mint cinnamon up and running, and my god my life is complete. I actually know where everything lives, I can actually right click on the desktop and have it respond, the search feature actually works and finds my files, MacOS definitely gave me a lot of the unix like development environment, but man NOW my life is complete. Still have a long way to go and tinker with my stuff, but yeah fuck windows.

I built a very unix style text-to-speech daemon (testers?)

Here's the repo:

https://github.com/SamReynoso/pfspeak


It's pretty sick. The usage is just:

1) Change the voice in the conifg

2) Restart the service (for today - restart is required)

3) echo "Hello World!" > "$SPEAK"

I spent a fair amount of time into building the runtime, and the application setup logic. I'm looking for testers interested in building a with the package, so if anyone has had a TTS project sitting on the shelf...

I have a handle on the direction I want to take this now. That's keep working on the runtime, and application framework part.

But checkout the daemon. With how relatively small the model is you'll probably keep it running all the time, and call to it from all over the place.

AI slop and low-effort contributions

Hey there!

This sub has become quite difficult to follow - every few hours, there's the next post for "I built a TUI for X", which translates to "I vibecoded an ncurses interface for a bash two-liner".

Unfortunately, this also means that the important content gets lost in a stream of meaningless posts.

What I'd like to ask for:

\- a rule for mandatory AI disclosure

\- an entry barrier for software packages; a task easily solved in <20 lines of shell code should not qualify as a distinct contribution


Let me know what you think.

Pulse, my very first C only project

I have been teaching myself systems programming over the past year by building software in C, and I just released the first public version of one of my projects: Pulse.

a lightweight Linux monitoring dashboard that:

reads system metrics directly /proc
 serves a web interface using its own HTTP server
has minimal dependencies
 is written entirely in C

The goal wasnt to build another Grafana replacement (cuz what the hell), but to create something small, understandable, and easy to run.

This is the first public release (v0.1.0), so Im mainly looking for feedback from people who use Linux or enjoy systems programming.

would love to know:

What would stop you from using it?
 Is the codebase easy to navigate?
Are there metrics you'd expect to see?
 Any obvious design mistakes?

Repository: https://github.com/cherries-works/pulse

I'm happy to answer questions about the implementation or discuss why I made certain design decisions. (I learned C less than a month ago, this is how I try to improve my knowledge, so be nice to me please lol)
