What's this thing with the absolute wish to centralise everything? The Internet is decentralisation, it's birth is interconnecting networks, having one massive network being just not scaleable. The web is a decentralise content sy

The way it's written, the author asked chatgpt to figure out the seed starting from a qrcode and working backwards towards a seed. There are parts that doesn't really seem to follow the game of life indeed.

There was at least TrackIR providing that back then https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrackIR I remember having tried on plane simulators back then and, even if it was cool as a technology, it wasn't really useful o

When I was on virgin, I noticed that ip addresses used by some TPB or similar websites weren't routed to the internet, which is obviously quite bad. I'm not sure if it's still what they do. Better ISPs only do DNS blocking th

Yes, actually flatpak triggered some interesting projects that are going beyong flatpak now: - pipewire for audio/video stream management that allows sandboxing - xdg-desktop portals to integrate the sandboxed apps in the host desktop

It's up and running, and like any project like this it's then constantly updated and maintained so "finished" makes no sense

Isn't that just the result of having heavily used this process? This can indeed be a consequence (although I do find the source of the wikipedia article really light without a proper study to support the claim) but it doesn't mean

There's pro and cons. There's a lot that can be automated now. I self-host everything, been doing for more than a decade now. Partly on home server and partly on servers I rent. Everything is kept up to date and the pain points ha

I'm always sceptical on big claims for or against specific architectural and infrastructural choices. Micro-services makes sense in specific cases and doesn't in some other, the same as monolith is an absolute no-go in some cases

Not saying that there was no mistake done when Greece joined the EU (actually I don't think Greece should have been allowed to join) but claiming that none of this would have happened if it were not for the EU is just bullshit. Greece

I'm not sure how much it actually helped. Customer support is really poor for a big chunk of those companies (I'm thinking Google, Facebook, not Apple or Amazon). People also got the concept of emails quite easily way before gmail

If the same techniques would have been applied to Tesla and SpaceX the result would be different. I guess there must be quite a few people much smarter than Musk behind the success of those companies. Calling abusive and intolerant behaviou

Switching to wayland is not a small feat, even if libraries like wlroots can reduce significantly the work. XFCE is not a commerical project, it doesn't really care about market share I guess. They have plans to move towards wayland su

It depends what's the purpose behind what you do. Writing software is a fun and creative puzzle solving process, AI will never replace that. It's the same with all AI generated content. It's impressive to see, but if you crea

I wonder how much of it is also due to technologies making this possible. The centralisation of a huge chunk of communications via a few massive actors makes this kind ideas enforceable. So, while those ideas aren't new, the thought of
