Announcement: AltStore becomes a financial contributor to Fedify
We're thrilled to announce that AltStore has become a financial contributor to Fedify! This generous support comes as part of AltStore's broader commitment to strengthening the open social web ecosystem, as they prepare to become the world's first federated app store. Their investment in Fedify and other fediverse projects demonstrates a shared vision for building a more open, interoperable digital future.
AltStore's journey into the fediverse represents a groundbreaking approach to app distribution—connecting their alternative app marketplace with the open social web through ActivityPub. As pioneers who have already pushed Apple to change App Store policies twice in their first year, AltStore understands the transformative power of open protocols and decentralized systems. Their support will help Fedify continue developing robust tools and libraries that make it easier for developers to build federated applications. We're deeply grateful for AltStore's trust in our project and look forward to seeing how their innovative federated app store will reshape mobile app distribution while strengthening the entire fediverse ecosystem.

@jdlh@mstdn.ca I can't recall any cases of usernames using non-ASCII characters, but I do know of a domain name that does. The instance 國漢象會 is one such example.

And uh... this one is not a bird.
I actually took this with a telephoto lens... after nearly running head first into said spider because this was BASICALLY IN FRONT OF MY FRONT DOOR
Anyway, I struggled to get the focus with the telephoto lens when I came back out; had to step back into the house to get it. But hey!
FujiFilm X-S10, Nikon Nikkor 200mm 1:4, cats wondering what the hell I was doing standing by the door for so long

not all birds were so happy to be photographed, of course. To be fair, I saw the crow, and then basically whipped my camera around without having time to adjust much of anything, so I'm grateful I got a shot at all.

A bird who was shockingly decent at being photographed while I tested out my new (old) Nikon lens. To be fair, I was on the ground, and they were not.
Shot on a FujiFilm X-S10 w/ a Nikon Nikkor 200mm 1:4 (the lens is probably from the 70s or 80s, so I'm using an adapter)

Tips for C Programming from Nic Barker
If you’re going to be a hacker, learning C is a rite of passage. If you don’t have much experience with C, or if your experience is out of date, you very well may benefit from hearing [Nic Barker] explain tips for C programming.
In his introduction he notes that C, invented in the 70s by Dennis Ritchie, is now more than 50 years old. This old language still appears in lists of the most popular languages, although admittedly not at the top!
He notes that the major versions of C, named for the year they were released, are: C89, C99, C11, and C23. His recommendation is C99 because it has some features he doesn’t want to live without, particularly scoped variables and initializing structs with named members using designated initializers. Also C89 is plagued with non-standard integer types, and this is fixed by stdint.h in C99. Other niceties of C99 include compound literals and // for single-line comments.
He recommends the use of clang arguments -std=c99 to enable C99, -Wall to enable all warnings, and -Werror to treat warnings as errors, then he explains the Unity Build where you simply include all of your module files from your main.c file.
It’s stressed that printf debugging is not the way to go in C and that you definitely want to be using a debugger. To elaborate on this point he explains what a segfault is and how they happen.
He goes on to explain memory corruption and how ASAN (short for Address Sanitisation) can help you find when it happens. Then he covers C’s support for arrays and strings, which is, admittedly, not very much! He shows you that it’s pretty easy to make your own array and string types though, potentially supporting slices as well.
Finally he explains how to use arenas for memory allocation and management for static, function, and task related memory.
