It has since taken away Gentoo’s raison d’être a bit in my head.

I wouldn't say so. We currently don't hold a candle to USE-flags. Many packages are already configurable but there's no standard on anything w.r.t. that.

There's no technical reason we couldn't have such a standard but it hasn't happened yet.

NixOS because it's the only usable stab at sustainable system configuration.

I recommend borgbackup.

That's Nix, not NixOS.

I also wouldn't be too sure on that "explicit" part for Docker. It's somewhat isolated, sure, but everything but explicit: you can download arbitrary data from wherever you like.

Great way to show off you haven't actually read any of the article past its title.

You're comparing apples to oranges. One is a declarative Linux system environment creation solution and the other a daemon that starts sub-system environments using Linux namespaces.

You could in theory use NixOS to define a system environment that you'd run inside of a docker container. It's a bit harder to get systemd running inside of Docker which NixOS heavily relies on but that's beside the point. Easier integrations exist for LXD and systemd-nspawn which actually fulfil an equivalent purpose to Docker. The single component that is most comparable to Docker in a typical NixOS deployment would arguably be its init process (systemd), though its use extends far beyond setting up the namespace (the root namespace in this case).

That isn't going to help them one bit if they have a SteamVR HMD.

It recommends AMDVLK... meh

It's a LineageOS thing AFAIK. I'd be a bit surprised if GrapheneOS had it since they're quite close to stock AOSP when it comes to customisations that don't relate to security or privacy.

Is there a bridge like they have for IMAP btw?

Stable distros can and will backport security fixes. Good ones that is.

You'd think so but IIRC when Phoronix tested it, Coreboot would always significantly underperform compared to the regular firmware. It wasn't much but the effect was measurable.

Ahhhhh whyyyyy, you've got all of these standard response codes made for you, why would you blatantly ignore them like that?!

Gaming with VRR is finally viable in this version!

Pretty cool!

Have you thought about whether this could also be used for limited write access? A common use-case for abusive image gallery services that you cannot ordinarily fulfil with Immich is shared albums where multiple people that e.g. attended the same event can collect pictures in without complex authentication (just a single shared secret or even just the link to the album).

You should scrub your data regularly with btrfs. That's just a mean to verify the data is in-tact though; to detect corruption.

You cannot really do anything actively to keep the data in-tact. Failure can and will happen. To keep your data safe, you must plan for failure to happen:

Expect a power surge to fry all your disks at the same time.
Expect your house to burn down or flood.
Expect to run the wrong command and istantly hose your entire array.
Expect your backup server to get ransomware'd.
...

Only if you effectively mitigate these dangers will your data stay safe.

At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Are you 100% certain they don't just truncate your password to 8 characters?

What a terrible graph. That "huge" spike is a mere 0.5% increase. That might as well be noise.

Don't believe any graph whose y-axis starts at any value but 0 people.

I am ashamed of GitLab.

Don't be. Gitlab has to comply with the law.

It's the law that's broken, not Gitlab.

It’s absolutely ridiculous they took it down even though Nintendo didn’t DMCA the Suyu project directly.

Um, no. If shitty corpo X (ab)uses the DMCA to send you a takedown notice for some project and you also host a fork of the same project, you must take down the fork too.

"You see, while this might be the exact same code, the name is totally different, so we don't have to take it down!" will not hold up in court.

Whether the DMCA request is valid or not is an entirely separate question. You must still comply or open yourself up to legal liabilities.

The process to object to the validity of the request is included in the screenshot.

Yeah, like, I press upvote and I get no spinner. How crazy is that?!

Great job devs :)

I was wondering what Twitter had to do with gaming...

Depends on how much of our needs would be covered. Not needing to work to survive is different from not needing to work to live a comfortable life which is again different from living a luxurious life.

the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical

What. The. Fuck.

Why do you feel the need to change phones? Pixel 6 Pro should still be plenty good enough.

If its stock ROM bothers you, you're in luck because Pixels are surprisingly hackable and it's very easy these days.

See i.e.: https://grapheneos.org/
No need to worry about Google services, they work: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Distro doesn't really matter here. Choose any that you like.

The link you posted is a post by a mod announcing that they will enforce the policy given to them by the LW admins.

From the modlog I can tell that (presumably) you posted a text post to !politics@lemmy.world about the policy that was then removed.

If you're posting to !politics@lemmy.world, such posts would obviously be removed because that's A. not on topic (that'd be a topic for !lemmyworld@lemmy.world. ) and B. not a link to an article. The latter is also the reason given for the removal.

Stirring up drama over absolutely nothing usually ends up hurting someone. Could you not?

And also tar -the fuck is in this file

Planned fix

December 2023

Yikes.

TL;DR Amazon is building a Linux distro that starts a chromium to run react native apps. Apparently, you need hundreds of people for that.

Security-critical C and memory safety bugs. Name a more iconic duo...

I'd have kinda preferred for public disclosure to have happened after the fix propagated to distros. Now we get to hurry the patch to end-users which isn't always easily possible. Could we at least have a coordinated disclosure time each month? That'd be great.

A uBlock Origin shield! Amazing.

Original price doesn't matter, you need to compare it against current new offerings. A drive like that, I'd buy for 8-10€/TB at max. because current new HDD pricing is 15€/TB at the low end.

What you also need is SMART output. Watch out for high uncorrectable errors, writes and whatever. I'd never buy a drive without having seen its SMART data.

I'd downvote that comment too. It adds nothing to the discussion and is deliberately confrontative and superficial.

I’m no earplug connoisseur

7 paragraphs about earplugs

Claims 7-10% performance improvement on an old AMD FX thing. No information about the baseline though; whether it's the terrible Snap or Firefox's official binary package. I suspect it's the former because it has known performance issues IIRC and the latter has quite good compiler optimisations already (LTO+PGO making most of the difference).

When I built Firefox for x86_64-v3, I saw no measurable improvement over x86_64-v1 in speedometer. I didn't dare to build the most security critical application on my system with unsafe compiler optimisations though..

More likely, people will stop using YouTube at all

Hahaha, no.

By funding an API-compatible product, they are giving CUDA legitimacy as a common API. I can absolutely understand AMD not wanting a competitors invention and walled-off product to be anything resembling an industry standard.

With that kind of hardware, nothing you could tweak would help a whole lot.

You need an upgrade mate.

The picture made me lol :D

Google has massive swing; there's a whole industry around getting Google to prefer your low quality crap nobody wants to see over others' low quality crap nobody wants to see.

If Google has finally figured out a metric to measure "helpfulness" of a website and punishes unhelpful websites, a bunch of dogshit that would have otherwise gotten top spots may have been banished to page 2.
Reddit results would naturally creep up because of that (and therefore get a lot more clicks), even if they didn't change at all.
