Surely you realise that there’s a balance between “stop reproducing and die to avoid harm to the world” and “consume all resources available for short-sighted gluttony”. There are absolutely ways to lower our impact and lots of smart people

You seem to think design is mere flourishing, nice colors to make something pleasant to look at, but ultimately superficial and useless. I would strongly object to that--visual presentation can carry a lot of additional information, and imp

> What use cases of "proper server management" does fucking with my resolv.conf(5) solve? For one, it avoids telling all processes and their mothers the IP of the DNS resolvers they should query, but hands them 127.53 instead.

Razor 1911! Now here’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, but teenage me was very grateful to. The .nfo files alone, distributed with most releases, carrying the most elaborate of ASCII art. I distinctly remember the aesthetics you ment

Regular people get their data stolen all the time, you just don’t hear about it. Just look at the credential dumps and the most common passwords.

> people who re-use passwords and/or don't use a password manager. So the vast majority of all humans on this very planet?

Don’t you remember the giant phishing campaigns like back when lots of celebrities got their nudes in iCloud stolen and published? These things happen all the time, and are incredibly painful. Much, much more so than being unable to share y

But that’s precisely what it allows you to do: plug a socket unit into a service unit, connect a timer unit, then another service as a dependency… and that’s just for the init management. Systemd might not fit your personal stylistic prefer

The reason for seeing overcomplexity in systemd components is usually that you never considered the use cases of other people or proper server management - mostly because in the days of olde, everyone cobbled together their shell script Jen

And while I have the utmost of empathy for your condition, that is unfortunately not a compelling reason to generally allow to violate the privacy of everyone else.

You are mixing a lot of things here. For one, taking a picture of a crime happening as capturing evidence overrules the right to one’s own image, as does the freedom of the press when capturing images of events of public interest. However w

It’s a breath of fresh air IMHO to be at places far away from any desire for posterity. Just remember yourself what you’ve seen instead of outsourcing that job to your phone for a while.

Careful what you wish for. The ticket to entry will (have to) be a proof of identity, the ultimate nail in the coffin of privacy and anonymity on the web.Outside of that, chaos.

No, just too corrupt for the EU.

You jest, but if you've ever seen a wounded animal fighting like mad for survival, I wouldn't be so confident that won't be the exact same things that's going to happen.

The USA is repeatedly punching itself in the face over and over though, so it's not a fair fight.

Because the US is going to throw Poland under the bus without even considering once if it yields a short-term benefit.

Am I just too ignorant of Miltech, or is this that in large parts recreating Standard messaging primitives that other protocols and systems have been providing for decades already (so invented elsewhere?)

> I'm not sure if you're saying avoid using system python? That's what I'm saying, yes. System python should be treated as a REPL for interactive shell scripting and otherwise ignored entirely.

> So is sudo... And that's not "too risky" for the entire industry. Sure it is, and that's why I'm looking forward to systemd's Run0 -- but for now, there's just no way around the sudo package. That&#x2

And who is to say that trigger hasn’t long been pulled? How do we know the agents haven’t found a way yet to modify their own code base similar to how Stuxnet manipulated the Iranian centrifuges and their control systems, stealthily recordi

Last time I checked, Mise is still a one-man show. That’s way too risky for a critical party of my supply chain for my taste.

This is exciting! And even if the result isn’t suitable as the only building material, there’s surely composite applications or buildings without a need to hold atmospheric pressure.

Researchers developed a model on behalf of the CIA and published it. The CIA is using this model. Calculating an MD5 hash according to the original paper describing the algorithm is going to yield the same hash for you and me for the same i

Ah. Doing it right, then, means earning billions by giving the whole world access before we really understand how it works, and training models on cyber attacks using reinforcement learnings in flawed test settings? I’m so full of all this

That is the explanation I fear the most. Delusional, megalomaniacal, rich men in the highest echelons of society at the forefront of technology with no regulatory opposition to speak of, convinced their actions are the most important in hi

The model, methodology, and even the data set used are published research, even if the CIA didn’t publish their internal forecasts based on it. You can still just come to the same conclusion they can, there are no state secrets involved her

How is it surprising organisations involved in humanitarian aid in crisis regions are also sponsoring research on fragility of governments?

I suggest reading the article you are commenting on, and you might find a ton of links to research in it. Reading is a great idea in general; I can recommend it.

Why would you even use python without uv anymore, and have a system python binary and virtual envs linked to it?
