Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?
couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?
The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.
It’s been this way for at least a decade.
Talos Principle 2. So far I’m enjoying it just as much as the first one.
I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.
I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.
DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).
Sorry if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but how do we know that BlueSky isn’t padding their stats with internal bots? I could see this being a viable strategy to attract users and overcome the social network bootstrapping problem.
Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.
Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.
It seems irrelevant whether this person is using encrypted channels if they failed to maintain anonymity. If they distributed material and leaked any identifying info (e.g. IP address), then it would be trivial for investigators or CIs to track them down.
You can’t configure an immutable distro by a sequence of mutations.
Isn’t that literally how ostree works?
Really this question has little to do with mathematical proof, because the basis of science is deductive, statistical knowledge.
You should say “unstable channel”. It’s literally just a rolling release that pulls from the nixpkgs
master branch. So it’s only as stable as it needs to be to pass the Hydra CI tests.
And if you get to a working version, you can pin that as a Nix flake to avoid anything breaking until the next time you nix flake update
.
On the same plot, there is a massive spike in attraction to the partially bald head of Stavros Halkias.
It’s so ironic how many downvotes this is getting in the context of this thread.
This reminds me of the apparent gnome-keyring security hole. It’s mentioned in the first section of the arch wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring
Any application can read keyring entries of the other apps. So it’s pretty trivial to make a targeted attack on someone’s account if you can get them to run an executable on their machine.
There’s also the Wayblue family of Wayland distros, based on Ublue.
It’s hard to say for certain whether a distro will work for your hardware, even the Nvidia-specific images can have bugs related to the Nvidia drivers or their interaction with compositors.
I’ve used NixOS for a year.
I also tried Fedora Sway Atomic for a week or so. It mostly worked well, but I eventually found that it’s really hard to use Nix for development on a graphics application, because linking with the system Vulkan drivers is near impossible. The loader used by Nix’s glibc will ignore FHS locations. That seems to rule out a lot of the benefits of using Nix.
So I gave up on using Nix + Fedora as a failed experiment and went back to NixOS.
My wish list for Nix, Wayland, and Sway is pretty long. I kinda wish I had the time to make a new distro.
I just don’t support dogmatic thinking and indoctrination, especially when it creeps into politics, which is inevitable at the scale of the most popular religions.
In theory I have no problem with other people’s faith, but in practice it degrades the critical thinking capacity of our population and, paradoxically, the moral capacity as well. That’s a net negative in my opinion.
Charities exist without religion. I think religions often teach good moral frameworks, though very traditional. But those come with a huge caveat that you cut out a big hole in your brain for the belief that God exists and cares about how you behave. That one idea leads to so much trouble, from false prophets to normalized misogyny and hatred of gay people.
My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.
