This is not going to happen. It might have been a possibility if Israel didn’t decide to start a war and assassination campaign against Iran.

I am not at all an AI sceptic, but probably less impressed by what LLMs are capable of. Looking at these projects, I have a few questions: 1. These seem to be fairly self-contained and well specified problems, which is the best case scenari

I was referring to working with systemd specifically on NixOS. But yes, the Nix ecosystem is not easy to learn, but once it clicks there is no going back.

It’s a bit more than sugar. 1. 1-command (or step) to have a new device join your network. Wireguard configs and interfaces managed on your behalf. 2. ACLs that allow you to have fine grained control over connectivity. For example, server A

How is it not a light abstraction? If you're familiar with systemd, you can easily understand what the snippet below is doing even if you know nothing about Nix. systemd.services.rclone-photos-sync = { serviceConfig.Type =

An eBPF-based Wireguard mesh VPN in Rust using Aya. The idea is to rely on kernel Wireguard, and process packets in kernel space (via eBPF) for maximum performance and minimal CPU overhead. I plan to use egress and ingress TC to “apply” the

It’s even more pleasant when you use a distro that natively uses systemd and provides light abstractions on top. One such example is NixOS.

Red Hat contributes to a broad spectrum of Linux packages, drivers, and of course the kernel itself [1]. One example is virtualization: the virtio stack is maintained by Red Hat (afaik). This is a huge driver behind the “democratization” o

1) Uh.. not terrorism? Hate crime perhaps, but that should be decided by a jury, not unilaterally determined by the gov. 2) So arms manufacturers participating in a war (at best!) are now equivalent to.. gay establishments? I suggest thinki

Even if I hadn’t, I surely would have by now given the amount of “gotchas” in this thread using this crime as some kind of smoking gun justification for proscription. But it is good to know that criminal assault is now equivalent to terrori

Spray painting a bunch of airplanes is terrorism. Got it. Oh, and don’t come crying when the same authoritarian laws put in place for Palestine Action are used to label your cause as terrorism to quash dissent.

Next time, if you really want to have a serious discussion, cut the snark and try not to hide behind a throwaway. This is not Reddit.

Alright, your good faith arguments have convinced me! To summarize: On one side, two sovereign nations setting press restrictions in areas they control. Standard stuff. On the other side, a genocidal state blockading a tiny strip of land fo

No, they’re not the same, and (2) is very relevant. Let me reiterate: Ukraine is a sovereign nation with a sovereign military that has the ability to enforce restrictions within its own territory . To bring your bad analogy more in line wi

by Cyph0n 9mo ago
Bad analogy, for two reasons: 1. Ukraine’s media restrictions are virtually non-existent when compared to those enforced by the Israelis in Gaza, including the intentional bombing of media offices. Keep in mind that Hamas has repeatedly cal

Or even international media outside of proctored propaganda trips. They obviously have learned their lesson since the 1982 invasion.

Yep, the “split” between core and std is brilliant. It enables so many usecases: one example I ran into recently is compiling Rust (core) to eBPF.

I am unfamiliar with the details of distro packaging. Do they commonly use the attribution to route CVEs? Regardless, the maintenance burden remains.

by Cyph0n 9mo ago
Not sure I follow. Suppose you tore out a portion of libxml2 for use in your HTTP server. A CVE is filed against libxml2 that is related to the subset you tore out. Obviously, your server doesn't link against libxml2. How exactly would

by Cyph0n 9mo ago
Advocates of the C approach often gloss over the increased maintenance burden, especially when it comes to security issues. In essence, you’re signing up to maintain a limited fork & watch for CVEs separately from upstream. So it's

Just wrap it in a Nix flake and define a devshell. The entire config won’t exceed more than ~10 lines of Nix. Once setup, all you need to do is: $ nix develop —-command hugo regenerate $ # version is pinned by flake.lock The be

The example I like to use to demonstrate how broken labor vs. service costs are in the UAE is to compare the price of a Big Mac meal to the price of a standard manual car wash (closer to detailing tbh). In the UAE, a Big Mac meal costs appr

Then you misunderstand what unsafe means in Rust. Every single Rust binary needs to eventually call unsafe code at some layer of the callstack. Is creating a TCP socket using stdlib functions unsafe? How about writing to a file? Or acquirin

No, that’s the unchecked version. Two people are telling you that this method exists and is safe, so I am not sure why you’re still doubting this lol.
