I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I'm interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

I have used it about 3 years ago and it was still a confusing mess. I recommend sticking with IntelliJ for JVM development for now.

Fleet is pretty good, it's almost like a combination of the existing jetbrains products (but some features are missing). However, it's not open source so I probably won't be using it.

You can compile it yourself to run it on Linux. You will need to install some dependencies and there are still some issues. For example; my monitors kept disconnecting when the application was open.

It's a lot easier to run web apps on the desktop than the opposite and there are a lot more people with experience developing with HTML/CSS/JS.

That's not really it's intended purpose

That's very interesting, I was aware of how NixOS separated dependency versions but I didn't know it natively supported containers.

How do you separate Nix programs from the rest of the system?

You can simply set up a VPN for your home network (e.g. Tailscale, Netbird, Headscale, etc.) and you won't have to worry about attacks. Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.

You don't have to be successful to get hit by bots scanning for known vulnerabilities in common software (e.g. Wordpress), but OP won't have to worry about that if they keep everything up to date. However, this is also necessary when renting a VPN from said centralised services.

Yes, but it does expose your own IP address and thus where you live. Tunnels don't.

I often use grep.app to look for example. It's fulltext search for code on GitHub, and just get information about the parameters and output by looking at the library's code.

This is false. Some ISP's change IP's often, but some don't and sometimes geoip lookups can be really accurate. My IP has remained the same since I moved in, and a geoip lookup results in a coordinate less than a kilometer away. It does matter.

Yes, but if you host a public site it might be a better option, the content is public anyway, and you won't get doxed if you publish something controversial. It's a trade-off, between keeping traffic private or keeping your IP private. Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can't host a public site with that.

Ip address doesn’t expose where you live.

Tunnels stop you from opening a port so nothing is exposed openly to the internet^1^ but it does not keep your ip private^2^.

This is also incorrect.

  1. The entire purpose of CF tunnels is to expose sites on the internet
  2. CF tunnels (and services like it e.g. ngrok) rely on shared proxy servers that forward traffic based on HTTP host headers (which is why you can't forward arbitrary TCP traffic). The IP of the site will therefore have the shared IP of the company's proxy server instead of your own.

I thought ghost was for blogging only

It's easy to compile something for a certain infrastructure if you can compile it yourself and won't have to beg another party to do so.

he specified static website, which rules out WP

Oops missed that

EDIT: And I missed Immich too

Wouldn't that be slow?

Yes, it seems to be a hit or a miss. I don't think I live near any central infrastructure or ISP, especially not this specific part of the city.

No, I'm currently using Tailscale but have been considering switching to Netbird to not be reliant on Tailscale.

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".

Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.

That's not to say the two men don't think AI will be helpful in the future. Indeed, Torvalds noted one good side effect already: "NVIDIA has gotten better at talking to Linux kernel developers and working with Linux memory management," because of its need for Linux to run AI's large language models (LLMs) efficiently.

A new Linux vulnerability known as 'Looney Tunables' enables local attackers to gain root privileges by exploiting a buffer overflow weakness in the GNU C Library's ld.so dynamic loader.

It’s always memory management

This is a very convulated way to say you’re going to make a common API

An anti-trust lawsuit is overdue

I wouldn’t recommend editing videos using a virtual machine, the performance will probably be quite miserable.

In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle's tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife "have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing." He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were "troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it."

I always make sure to read the article headlines, so I should be good /s

I’ve been having a related issue. Another ISP is selling gigabit for a lower price but my mom refuses to switch because she will lose her ISP issued email address. The lesson to be learned is to never use your ISP’s email service.

These kind of titles OBLITERATE my desire to read the article.

This all seems very reasonable, it seems like the plasma team made the right decision to remove semi-broken / obsolete parts, but Unsplash removal because of AI scraping is a bit disappointing.

We did this a while ago in the Netherlands and so far the research results on the effects look promising.

What about a license that would require every company with a market cap above 25 B that (indirectly) uses the software to contribute X amount (like $1000 a year) of revenue back?

One of the most common Minecraft server implementations called Paper MC consists of 321k lines of code (mostly Java and a little bit of Kotlin).

Ubicloud seems to be reselling Hetzner with a 60% profit margin.

Each VM has a monthly egress quota of 0.625TB per 2 vCPUs. If you exceed this limit, we will charge you $3 per TB of egress traffic. We don't charge for ingress traffic or traffic between your resources within the same cloud region.

Hetzner has a limit of 20 TB, this means Ubicloud has an initial potential profit margin of 15 TB (45$) in the worst case (standard-16 plan), and even better margins for the cheaper plans. Hetzner charges €1.21 for additional traffic outside their limit, this means Ubicloud still has a margin of 56% for additional traffic outside of the Hetzner limit.

It seems like this could be quite profitable if they manage to create an easy-to-use platform that attracts companies. The 16m investment might be worth it.
