mryessir OP ,

I am hiding for posting these. Will flag the post in the dawn as NSFW when everybody asleep.

mryessir OP ,

Some elaboration of mine for doing this post:

Once I helped organizing some huge event. Attending negotiations between a monopol-like company and the purchasing departments.

Attendees required to be far from certain competition and even ruling participation out under certain circumstances.

I am in favor of the doubt but there has to be more similiarities between these sponsor than to the common eye. So I posted this.

mryessir ,

Word. Running eyes wide open into oblivion. GNU is a big part why our system is as superior as it is.

mryessir ,

There is Sublink but it’s written in Java, I don’t think I want to deal with Java’s runtime environment.

Don’t hate Java just for the sake of it. According to the repository they ship a Dockerfile and use gradle to build it. Everything should be abstracted for you.

When comparing environments for a program between Java and Python you should probably prefer Java’s. Years of experience and build from the ground up for enterprise deployment. Python module system is hacked together. It ain’t even be fair for python to compare itself in this regard.

Also this project is spot-on within Java’s main territory. It makes absolutely sense to me to use Java for such a program.

Plus monitoring/maintaining a Java application is way better then any python program.

That’s beyond my experience but I would say functional languages can perform similiarly.

I suppose - and honestly do not know if - aggregation is done via synchronization into some persistance unit.

Therefore I would eypect that a functional language like Elixir, Lisp etc. would outperform a language with manual memory management in terms of maintainability.

Depending on the capabilties of packing structs into close memory or traceability and elaboration of compiler it may outperform single or multi-threaded.

Though outperforming recent JREs may be hard, since they may trace hot paths. Default configuration Java vs. a proficient developer of a functional language I assume that latter at least go even.

But I can’t judge. Even on the repository of said program I did not even bother to look at the contents of the gradle.build or Dockerfile to be honest.

I do think that maintainability of functional languages, when only the common denominator between any functional language is used, is better to spaghetti Java source code. But that’s another issue, right?

// edit: Spaghetti Source Code is a good thing in my opinion. And sincr I did not adsress your question directly: A proficent developer is more likely to write faster Java then functional code, since Java is just a layer above C with one of the best compilers there is. Functional languages require carrying some non-neglectable knowledge of the compiler to make use of the fastest paths through the code. On the other hand Java is just ALGOL-Syntax and therefore imperative; Which translates more easier into *.asm.

// edit2: Synchronization into some db isn’t depending on the nature of the language but there may be overhead where some concepts of languages simply perform better. So I would expect that transitions from some interpreted language is slower then compiled languages. Note that even though Java belongs to the former it is conceptually compatible with the latter. I’m out. You called me out. I’m a still a newbie. Had to append so much.

mryessir ,

Modularity of software ranked way too low.

Pff. I once saw some crack-y woman using the entire shelf of makeup in the store.

Man. I bought Lenovo ARM. I wanted to buy a tuxedo so badly. Now I’m stuck with this thinkpad.

It is bearable but feature complete. Every month linaro and the community add functionality. The most recent things include a custom power-domain mapper implementation and apparently camera support.

If you are running wayland you can simply install any os and its working oob.

The laptops weight and heat production is awesome. Very practical. Also the body is exceptional sturdy and worth mentioning (even in comparsion to a T14, e.g.).

But:

  • external monitors are not detected at boot
  • no hibernation
  • battery time is very depended on the task. It ranges from 4 to 13 hours.
  • no virtualization support, so one is stuck with tiny code generator runtime when using kvm
  • audio is pretty quiet, so depending on the environment an external source is required.

I followed almost all patches on the lkml. It appears to me that the upcoming chip can benefit from the sc8280xp hugely. It sufficies for my use cases but I promised myself a little better, yet.

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them on the...

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

mryessir ,

This would be a good approach to improve growth of the community.

Does the ActivityPub protocol support copyright for user content? E.g. an artist releases some picture and they explicitly prompt a license. Each client should accept that they are obligated to prompt this license when using the content… Something like this

mryessir ,

Would this again segregate the users? Some attribute on a submission which refers to a license would be nice though

mryessir ,

My lemmy client is able to locally block anything I do not want to see. And I do not want to live in a bubble, so I didn’t block .ml. There are many quality post and comments so I would advise against a premature defederation.

But what do I know

mryessir ,

The french people are very proud of their culture and free spirit, so even hard opinions are articulated freely.

Additionally it appears they struggle with problems in the suburbs (banlieue); The public opinion in europe shifts to blame uncontrolled immigration it appears to me.

mryessir ,

At least the EU restricts this directly to your communication and make examples for its usages.

EU approval for chat control (www.patrick-breyer.de)

We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to...

mryessir ,

The EU will already have projects in development as far as my experience goes.

What I do not know though but think applies: Such an act is legally binding for all member states. If they fight these things, they are allowed to propose at the EU court for adjustment in order to be aligned with the national law. This can postpone the national implementation for a few years.

But it can only be revoked by a new act of the EU council.

And they can simply ignore any new suggestion of the EU parliament if they like to.

How goes the saying? 32 MB of RAM and always swapping?

mryessir ,

One could point to the inclusive or environmental aspect to this approach.

Your awesome for correcting me (I use vim BTW)

Plus emacs and lisp are superior. But I didn’t managed to jump ships.

mryessir ,

It does not depend in how fat the fork is. You provide some reasons on your own.

Your assumption appears to be that open source software can be maintained with minimal costs by the community and sofware-aid assures an ongoing bug prevention of some sort.

In the end you still need at least a few full-time devs on it. It would be fair to pay them accordingly if they are maintaining behemoths of software.

Funfact: Infrastructure costs are x-times higher then IT Personel in my organization. A big chunk of it is energy and space; But its less then licensing costs…

mryessir , (edited )

The Debian community not already maintains a Chromium fork. How much does that cost?

I honestly can’t and wouldn’t judge: Time, Resources, implicit know-how etc. are unknown to me.

The human time needed should grow with the number of patches that need to be applied to the upstream code base, …

jupp

… because some will fail now and then.

Forks are done due to different reasons. Therefore it depends why to fork. It could be possible that one feature diverges so much that applying patches isn’t enough. Especially patches in a debian sense, neither .diff/.patch-patches.

This is what I refer to as “fatness” of the fork. The more patches, the fatter. It should be possible to build, packege and publish a fork with zero patches without human intervention, after the initial automation work.

For a brief period, until something rattles on the build system. Debian patches are often applied to remove binary blobs due to licensing - Imagine upstream chooses to include M$ Recall into the render engine. You would need to apply extraordinary amounts of work. Maybe even maintaining a complete separate implementation. This would also imply changes on the build systems, which needs to get aligned continiously between both upstreams, now.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious. 😅

With each version you have to very carefully review every commit if you want to maintain compatability with upstream, in order to merge patches into your fork.

When there are 50 devs working on upstream and you need to review every commit to assure requirement X, this alone is a hard path. If you need to also apply workarounds compatible with future versions of upstream, you need PROFESSIONALS. Luckily these are found in the FOSS community; But they are underpaid and worse: underappreciated.

// plus I could imagine that things like chrome may even not be coming with the full test suite. The test suite of a browser are surely so huge I can’t even comprehend the effort put into it. And then bug tickets… Upstream says: Not in my version. Now the fork has to address these themselves! :)

mryessir ,

Don’t hate google too much…! They are an essential company to the west world; They contribute a lot to the community.

As long there is no business interest, the developers there are very competent and would defend their architectural choices I want to believe.

But yes, they - as a whole - have earned such a mistrust by now very much IMO.

Smallest Security/Privacy Focused Distro Help?

I’ve been doing some scouring and my search results are coming back confusing. Usually either incomplete information, or some kind of sales spam, so I’m reaching out in the hopes of recommendations for actual linux users and fans. I am looking for a very small, tiny even, security/privacy focused distro. I don’t mind doing...

mryessir ,

You can use LFS to… Install targeted-kernel Setup AUR/pacman as package manager Use a minimal DE if needed. Otherwise just use the x.org kiosk to start your applications without any de.

mryessir ,

This should get their slogan. Any linux should have this slogan :) Have fun on your endeavors!!

mryessir ,

Rehire obv.

mryessir ,

Corporate rated this strategy viable

mryessir ,

Especially on servers I make sure to attend in the software packages survey. Just so that the holy-gods and kings of maintainers are aware of me, the peasant running old packages.

No yield saya. I’m sorry.

In some districts immigration rate is at 60%.

One has to experience certain interactions and opinions on the streets. I know we need migration and there has been plenty of people perfectly assimilating but we are struggling with the integration part currently.

I sincerly think most of the issues I observe are due to German/European Rap Music which is nowadays mainstream and way out of line. Teenagers across the board adapt arabic phrases from said music and butchering the language. Let alone adapt the text literally.

Teachers and people working at the kindergarten I know of describe the migration rate at almost 90%. And the majority of parents do not show willingness to educate+integrate, they say. But I don’t know of any numbers!!

mryessir ,

He explicitly told you to get lost or something, dude!

mryessir ,

I disagree naming Flatpak etc. as the reason for more adoption. New users I know of do not know how to search for software and software alternatives in the first place.

Documentation and engagement on linux just improves by each day. Experiences are shared and people may just be curious. Then there are news about linux breakthroughs by big players like valve.

Imo a beginner linux distro should prompt on install:

If you are a potential linux adaptor do not get discouraged. You may have spent your entire life building knowledge for an other operating system. Once you grok the aimed simplicity of UNIX and which parts are involved in your daily tasks you will be at least as efficient as with other operating systems. The most inportant thing: Have fun on your journey and engage in our chats, forums and/or in social media.

Thank you for your attention.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

mryessir ,

:!w /etc/fstab first!

For the publisher it was written for free, yes. And the amount of founding increases with their fee.

Windows VM - even as hypervisor 1 - could leak any data. You need a revisited OS and kernel to be safe.

Edit: Once you accessed your network your firmware could possibly track everything as well. But nobody knows. Once I heard that the intel firmware has more LoC then the linux kernel (which is the most collaborated human project ever in existence).

mryessir ,

Thing is there are german manufactures.

I spilled my coffee but you made my day :)

mryessir ,

I just read from that: Other OSes are inferior and they won’t tell their userbase. Cheapshots I guess.

I have to admit: That sounds pretty nice. Next time I build something with wood I will try to use inches. Thanks!

Thin layers allow for bending without cracking the paint.

OpenAI is just a mask of Satan. Apple is just a contender for hell and doesn’t run things there. Yet.
