There again, I think the comparison fails. Fixing the hospital: single place to work on, easier Blocking all the roads/flights: everywhere, harder Vs Fixing all the telnet: everywhere, harder/impossible Blocking port 23 on an infr

by forty 8mo ago
You feel it's similar because having access to port 23 is similarly life critical as having access to an hospital? Or is it because like with ports, when people can't flight to an hospital, they have 65000 other alternative option

Yeah I have used desktop notifications for such things (via notify-send etc), but I'm going to accept this explanation for transparent background as it makes some sense to me.

by forty 8mo ago
Why would someone use a transparent window background? Are people really reading the window behind it at the same time as the foreground window?

Huh bis? Aren't people using Google browser mostly to use Google services hosted on Google servers? Haven't you heard of Google the search engine, Google maps, YouTube, Gmail, Google docs, etc?

Sorry, I probably misunderstood, I thought there were resistance to update the corresponding specs. I understand that non XMPP specs might refuse to be updated, but at least this behavior could be standardized for XMPP specifically.

Yes, but then the lack of pragmatism shown by the XMPP community is a bit disconcerting

There are two questions which can be asked for both. The first one is "can these tech can achieve their goals?" which is what you seem debating. The other question is "is a successful outcome of these tech desirable at all?&q

Wow, I re read after reading your comment and now I'm fairly sure the whole post is humourous ^^

I think you and other responders are missing the point. Yes GitHub gives visibility to the project and is easily replaceable. But putting projects on GitHub gives visibility to GitHub and reenforces the network effect and Microsoft leadersh

Great, but why on GitHub? That doesn't seem very souverain to me

We live a wonderful time where I can spend hours and $20000 to build a C compiler which is slow and inefficient and anyway requires an existing great compiler to even work, and then neither I nor the agent has any idea on how to make it use

I don't know for others but pnpm has `pnpm exec` which allows running arbitrary commands on some or all of your packages

How many lines of code is there in the biggest codebase in the world?

by forty 9mo ago
I put any sufficiently complex command to scripts/<command>.sh and keep the package json as light as possible. One very big upside I have to use package.json is that we use pnpm which has very sophisticated way of targeting packa

That are two things in the article: having a kind of make alternative to "save your command history" and basically avoiding repeating large commands and how they use TS to make shell scripts.

by forty 9mo ago
In the web/js/ts ecosystem, most people use npm scripts in package.json, rather than a custom make.ts. Scripts you launch from there can be in any language, so nothing prevents you from using TS shell scripts if that's your t

As an alternative solution to the sibling comment, I do run everything rootless in systemd --user so my services don't have access to privileged ports, and use firewall rules to redirect the external interface low ports, to the local h

I agree 100%, I was stuck without quadlet in previous Debian stable so I had to work with systemd generate, but quadlets are undoubtedly better, and I was looking forward to upgrade Debian just for that, and now that I did, I'm really

Will this do remote attestation ? What hardware platforms will it support? (Intel sgx, AMD sev, AWS nitro?)

Systemd has recently added experimental support for musl libc, which should eventually allow Alpine to upgrade though

Quadlet are great but running podman via systemd as a non root user worked perfectly well before quadlets and I have no idea what your parent is talking about (I'm currently in the process of converting my home services from rootless p

Why do you say podman is a poor replacement? It has been consistently a better replacement for me on Linux, with easy rootless, daemon less, quadlet, etc. And at work where I have to use macos, it works just as well.

What do you mean infinite vendor lock in? Just export your vault and import it in another password manager and switching email provider is not that hard either (assuming you use your own domain).
