Really hope AMD can gain support for DRM modifiers sometime soon. This would unlock cool stuff like non-broken Vulkan DMA-BUF import (be it by compositors or ffmpeg or anything else).

"assert everywhere" → strong agree

Better to fail hard when something's wrong/missing/unimplemented rather than fail in subtle, hard-to-debug ways.

XDC 2020 starting momentarily!

Pretty funny how every single Phoronix article gets something wrong.

XDC 2020 begins tomorrow, and I'll be giving a talk about buffer constraints with James Jones from NVIDIA. Please join us!

tlstunnel - an automatic TLS reverse proxy

Why in the hell is WM_STATE's property type "WM_STATE" instead of being an atom? Why did I have to loose hours tracking this down?

Thanks X11.

drmdb now display kernel docs for properties! Example:

If you aren't familiar with libseat, have a look at their README, it's a cool project.

https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd

Just merged support for libseat in wlroots. We no longer depend on logind for unprivileged access to input and graphics devices! \o/
