Or is it the general trend of moving away from the centralized Internet, the force of deglobalization? Instead of upholding standards and cherishing RFCs it seems that so many people and corporations are trying to invent the next protocol,

Yes. But if we can extract versions of libraries used to build packages then it would be easy to audit the system by cross-checking against CVEs. Those who prioritize security would remove the affected package(s) until a new version is avai

Perhaps, but in which case this concept actually adds value? Imagine you have a working environment (development, scientific research, etc) carefully set up to do your job. You wish to upgrade, say, your web browser, but now have to upgrade

I am arguing about this on FreeBSD forums - from an end user perspective. I think the benefits of saving disk space by sharing libraries do not justify the inconveniences we, desktop BSD and Linux users, obtain from being forced to disrupt

ZFS made wonders for me with very small servers (appliances) with SSDs that were forced to operate in remote areas on unstable power supply - where other file systems were dropping bytes and bricking them.

I'll probably be downvoted, and sorry for the off-topic, but I miss those days when you could approximate computing power by looking at the processor's model number. 386SX-33, 386DX-40, 486DX2-66, and so on... Right now it's

May I ask why people invent new languages rather than trying to extend or improve existing ones, like C?

Another option, since there are so many "tops," is something like psbw... Process bandwidth. Reminiscent of ps ax but ps bw.

I was trying to joke here. The untrusted network in our case is the internal network. In that sense.

We need something to firewall the Internets from our too-smart house stuff! Something like an inverse firewall. A waterwall.

It's interesting to see the walrus operator in there. I wonder, is this another example of unnecessary features being added just to claim a bigger change list, or someone really needs this operator? Why would anyone prefer a walrus ins

This is fucking horrible. Worth an episode in Silicon Valley horrible. What I hate most about the new Apple devices is that I always do something that produces a gesture or a hidden function. Grab iPhone quickly by the sides - get a screens

Let's imagine American tech bails out from oil contracts in those countries - overnight. What happens? Russians will replace them immediately, or Chinese. That won't help those countries in any way. There is no quick process to ge

As much as I admire Sacha Baron Cohen's efforts to uncover hypocrisy of our society, I agree with your comment and disagree with him - that social platforms have to filter content; just on the basis that this filtering, even if done wi

I agree. What if everyone begins to include their children and pets at will, for whatever reasons they are up to today? The whole purpose of naming authors is defeated then.

Hah! And I have completely the opposite experience - with the exception of modern American cars of course (still miss my 90s Chrysler Saratoga!) Europe is very often about the looks and the function is secondary. The most recent example - V

But it's not about how good the Google's ML models are, you're missing the point! It's about Google being the huge many-headed monster with tentacles. You can't use part of Google service without being entangled in

Am I alone thinking the originals are way better than the processed versions, even in the demo on that link? Somehow all this excessive tone filtering, "smart" unsharp masking, artificial noising and noise-filtering - all that com

I guess this is more about not being toxic with the family. I am such a person who can unintentionally create lots of tension with my son or wife, without suspecting anything. It just comes out of me. Friends - no problem, of course, people

I'm fine with that. There are weird girls who threaten to kill themselves too if someone is not going out with them. We are living in a weird world. Deal with it.

Why do we even need to invoke Stallman's achievements as an excuse here? What did the man say - he expressed his opinion that accusations of sexual assault are probably inflated and inaccurate. For fuck's sake!

And I wholeheartedly wish Reddit will continue doing what they are doing. As a user, I would vote for scheduled maintenance downtime to many monetization attempts present on other networks.
