Pull requests aren't going to solve the current issues with Matrix. I believe that the problem arises from the protocol design itself. And cutting back on the current specification is not viable for an already deployed project. Here ar

I came to say this as well. The market share of Linux in the US is 5.03%, while the same for Firefox is 4.23%! [1] It's not an apples to apples comparison. But the userbase is largely the same, and it's easier to switch a browser

I seriously doubt that they're talking about leadership when they say ownership. Otherwise it would make little sense because few foss projects are democracies anyway.

There is a solution that's already in use in the Python ecosystem (PyPI). Python projects have a classifiers field. Development status is one of the main types of classifiers. It has 7 stages starting from 'Planning' and endi

I think the 'project is abandoned if not updated' mentality came from corporate development culture. Unfortunately, I don't see any other reasonable way to for users to evaluate the project status. This wasn't how free s

Looking at the wiki, the effects of long term exposure to CO2 under 0.5% of partial pressure (5000 ppm) are not known. The current concentration is close to just 430 ppm (though that's more than enough for the greenhouse effect). What

Incus is sort of like GCP's own resource management software, though GCP does a lot more than what Incus does. So you'd often be using Incus like a self-hosted alternative to GCP. Meanwhile, running Incus inside GCP VM(s) should b

Yes. Thanks! The entire cloud computing ecosystem is a hot mess of numerous tools with countless interdependencies.

I agree with everything you pointed out. They were what I had in my mind too. However, I avoided those points on purpose for the sake of brevity. It was getting too long winded and convoluted for my liking. Thanks for adding a separate clar

Incus supports Qemu/KVM VMs. And KVM is arguably a Type 1 hypervisor since it's part of the Linux kernel. So I guess it qualifies?

Vagrant is not the right comparison against Incus for this use case. Vagrant is used to spin up VM or system container instances that are configured for software development and testing. But vagrant doesn't create those VMs or containe

Vagrant has a provider plugin for lxc. Please check my reply to the parent commenter for more explanation.

Incus is like a cloud management software - especially in cluster mode. It has management API like many cloud services. So, yes, there's a terraform provider for Incus, which can be used to configure and provision instances. Guest setu

It is a built-in functionality [1] and requires no extra orchestration. In a cluster setup, you would be using virtualized storage (ceph based) and virtualized network (ovn). You can replace a container/VM on one host with another on a

by goku12 1y ago
Short answer: No. Long answer: Depends upon what you use lxc for. Incus is not a replacement for lxc. It's an alternative for LXD (LXD project is still active). Both Incus and LXD are built upon liblxc (the library version of lxc) and

I have a question for the economists here. It might sound stupid and unrelated to this submission. But it is in some ways. So assume a hypothetical case where there is a runaway inflation. Everyday things start costing thousands of dollars

I agree with most of what you say. Internet safety is only a cover for other intentions in such laws. But there is a legitimate need to protect kids from the dangers that lurk online. Things like nudity, drugs, violence, radicalism, vanity
