That's a lot of questions - What is the story in nix for packaging untagged branches of software If you want to do unreleased software, you would create overlays that added them. You're overlays most likely would not need to defin

Having used nix for two years now for both work and personal purposes, I agree. Though I have also come to think nix is doing things in much better ways than AppImage, Docker, Snap, Flatpack, and others. I won't focus on the good parts

There is only three hard parts of e2ee. 1. Making it actually secure. 2. How does a user logging in to multiple locations share the key. 3. Full text search. It would be hard for discord to do 1 and make everything e2ee. But the casual natu

I don't think your comment implies what you think it implies. The wasted energy there is taking about inefficiencies in electronics and motors in general. Mining BTC is not 100% efficient either. If it was, the mining hardware wouldn&#

Thanks for the link! In that case, it seems completely arbitrary to not make chroot work as a normal user then.

by georgyo 6y ago
Interesting. Still, as namespaces gain more and more traction, the value of adding rootless chroot goes down.

Can't unshare essentially do the same thing? unshare --map-current-user --root=<new root> <program> And works completely unprivileged using namespaces.

Can you imagine if your bank charged you to write a check? I don't understand how people are okay with gas prices being a given.

Isn't there a yearly cost to registering domains? That seems like a subscription fee to me.

Altered Carbon sorta plays with this concept a lot. But it's set in a world were it is common place, and people have already detached identity from body.

This is interesting stuff, but as others have said they do a really bad job of presenting the what it does and how it fits it. Having now read a lot of their docs, they don't seem to acknowledge basic things at all. For one, the identi

Sorta it does make me slight more bitter about bitcoin in general, and if I made millions of dollars off of it I would likely thing it's the best thing in the world. However, I do try to self adjust for that bias. When I mined the coin
