There's a page that includes reproducibility results for Debian here: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/bookworm/index_... I think there's also a similar thing for the images, but I might be

"If anything, I'd suspect that he'd keep the channel open as long as he could." The real story is that he was added to the channel, so it doesn't surprise me that he didn't try to lurk indefinitely. I'm gu

Of all the things that constitute a value ad that might allow Oracle or any other company to sell a premium operating system and do away with reciprocal licensing, the core utilities aren’t it. There are already permissively, licensed versi

IIRC Red Hat now just ships the Firefox ESRs and does not support a single version for the entire life of a RHEL release. You probably wouldn’t want a 10-year old browser anyway. And, in RHEL 10, they have stopped packaging Firefox in favor

Well, different people are fascinated by different things. :) I hope both products are successful, they've been (so far) a force for good in the industry as far as I can tell.

Oh, that's far more interesting to me than the desktop thing. I have a 13" Framework now, but a 12" would be super-nice as a travel laptop -- and the tablet conversion might let me use it as a on-the-go ebook reader.

There is no light you can shine on this that makes it look good. None. It's corrupt to the core. You can want a government organization or whatever to be run more efficiently and still find it horrifying when a private actor runs amok

I wonder if Signal should expose linked devices directly in the UI at all times. Something like a small icon that indicates "You have 3 linked devices active" or similar.

BFF's first album was in 1993, and Jamiroquai was formed in 1992, I think. Both of those were well after the term was muddied beyond recognition. I'm skeptical of the claim that Jamiroquai was being tagged "alternative",

"It's a useless genre" Today, sure. It wasn't always. Alternative in the 80s was pretty much "rock, but too weird and smart to be played on the AOR/classic rock stations, and not on a major label". That mi

"Monster" is the only R.E.M. album from the Bill Berry era that I never listen to. Not quite sure why, but I gave it the requisite three listens when it came out and shelved it. Nearly wrote R.E.M. off at that point, but "New

There's Plex, but also things like Kodi that just turn a PC into a media center. We're in the midst of a move right now - when we settle, a Mini PC is going to replace the streaming box.

Initial release of X was June 1984, and Wayland was first released in 2008 -- so it won't be until 2032 that Wayland is the same age. When people complain about Wayland being mediocre or "as good as X was" what they often mea

I'm not seeing a lot of entitlement or anger. GRRM is not obligated to finish the series--but, neither is he free from people giving him shit for not finishing the series. If you start a book series, foster a fandom, sell the rights

The franchise seems to be alive and well. My daughter really likes the prequel series. But season 8 definitely dulled the show's impact on popular culture. (Obligatory: Don't name your kids after a series' characters until i
