Capabilities are craaaazy coarse on Linux. Really only a small piece of the sandboxing puzzle. Flatpak, Bubblewrap, and Firejail each provide an overall fuller view of what sandboxing can be.

I always remember learning that 2 was a legit enough way to represent the result of 1 + 1, but the internet seems to agree with you mostly. Though I contend that 1 + 1 = 2 is unambiguous, so is fine. But multiplication and addition do work

Sure, that’s an interface that’s better for many users and use-cases. However, it seems better if you could, as much as is possible, move the AI stuff from runtime to “compile time.” Instead of having the AI do everything all the time, have

What makes you say that isn't the job the emulator? Sure it is. In fact, tmux itself is a terminal emulator that you just so happen to run inside of another terminal emulator that you want to multiplex.

Seattle bus routes are really horrible. Not only is there the high number of stops, but the whole city's transit infrastructure is North-South aligned; moving East-West is a massive pain across much of the city and adds incredible time

If I understand you right, you’re talking (partly) about a distributed name system. Conceptually, I’m generally skeptical of such things. Maybe you can clarify what I’m missing or why your plan is different. You generally need to trade off

I’ve got the uhk60v2. Absolutely love it. Agree with sibling commenter about its high build quality. Really great stuff. The macro language has really developed nicely too. When I bought the uhk ~5 years ago, I didn’t plan on really using a

Most systemd components do rely on some core systemd components like systemd (the service manager) and journald. I would say that a core thesis of systemd is that Linux needs/needed a set of higher-level abstractions, and that system

That's totally orthogonal to Tailwind though; there's nothing that precludes you from combining semantic elements with it. The only thing that would make a dev reach for <div class="m-2"> instead of <article

It sure sounds very Debian-ish, at least. I’m a Fedora user, and Fedora stays veeeery close to upstream. It’s not rolling, but is very vanilla.

But QUIC doesn’t use 443/TCP; it uses 443/UDP. So it’s unsurprising that middleboxes that care about 443/TCP would ignore it. That doesn’t support your claim that “non-TLS 1.2 traffic to 443 is OK.”

Throughout history, the hedonic treadmill has always triumphed. Competition and envy conjure their own objects. Even if you want to allege that the proverbial pie will become infinitely large, any one person’s slice is finite. However big m

> That exfiltration is one-time and it's quite hard to recover from. Not quite true with Signal's double ratchet though, right? Because keys are routinely getting rolled, you have to continuously exfiltrate the new keys.

Yeah, that has societal cost too, to be sure. Which implies prima facie that such infra (roadways, high-frequency train lines) should be minimized. Since the throughout of mass transit is so much higher (iow, the societal cost per-user),

I think you’re misattrubuting causation here. There are numerous factors that distinguish those two places. Chiefly, they are among the densest places in the world. Generally speaking, cars are at odds with such extreme density, simply due

Yes, sandboxing impedes those things. But I assume you're not advocating against sandboxing in general, right? Starting with a sandbox and poking holes/whitelisting as-needed is a good way to go. Whitelisting access on a per-appli
