The various Red Hat affiliated projects have so much more reason to call themselves the "OS" than GNU at this point. A Linux system with systemd for the init, systemd-networkd and NetworkManager for networking, GNOME for the deskt

Maybe we should cut out the middle man and make it easy for people to donate money to open-source projects, and let the maintainers decide whether to use them on tokens or hosting or developer salaries or something else.

I don't understand how that's supposed to work. What does the decoder decode into ? That's gonna depend entirely on the kind of data, right? For some formats, it's gonna be a stream of bytes; for others, a 2D plane of p

A USB-C PD power supply which supports 130W is probably gonna be more expensive than whatever power supply they're using now...

This is more competing in the game console market than the PC market though.

A full clone is not a very interesting game. It seems like Minetest has more or less evolved from trying to be a Minecraft clone to trying to be Roblox, that's ... weird

I mean exactly what I said. How do I know which parts of io_uring won't have security vulnerabilities discovered in the future?
281.
by mort96 4mo ago
Yes, but what parts of io_uring are safe to not disable?
282.
by mort96 4mo ago
I don't think Minetest has much of a chance, it always felt like a loose group of programmers making a game engine rather than game designers creating a game. At least when I last tried it, it was completely devoid of any features to i

Why? "Game ready drivers" are just a marketing thing to add game-specific performance hacks to new games, you don't expect "instability" just because nvidia doesn't do that anymore

Did you have a bad experience with Minecraft on Linux before 26.2..?

And which single syscall might be exploitable? I don't wanna wait until after an exploit to disable it

by mort96 4mo ago
What's the singular function that has a chance of turning out to be exploitable in the future?

Well the reason it's disabled now is the recent history of pretty bad vulnerabilities. It probably needs to go a while without new vulnerabilities before it makes sense to enable by default. It's pretty complex completely unsafe C

I'm not a user of it, so It's not hurting me personally. But if I had read about how Ryzen CPUs support encrypted memory, and had chosen a Ryzen CPU for that reason, I think I'd have a pretty good reason to be upset that the

A great example of a non-sequitur. I will interpret this to mean you concede and are not interested in continuing this conversation.

And what is that experience of yours? Do you have experience from deployments with many independent atproto data servers and relays federating together? Or do you have experience from bluesky, meaning you're only interacting with one

There's plenty of features in products I buy which aren't "marketed", which I nonetheless get upset if are suddenly removed.

I don't use WhatsApp, I use Signal, Messenger, iMessage and Snapchat (yes I know but these things have inertia). I'm not exactly alone here. You'd need to write third-party clients for all those apps as well.

Forget hyper-optimizing, how about we just stop throwing away gigabytes for no reward? If we get there, then we can start thinking about maybe actually optimizing anything

It's in the republican party's interest to ensure there's as little data as possible showing any form of climate anomalies. Their party platform is that climate change is not real, and Trump is personally a big fan of coal po

If I have a buffer of bytes, and I intend to treat the content of that buffer as individual bytes, what is semantically wrong with "read 65k 1-byte-sized items into this buffer"? Wouldn't it be a bit unnatural to express it a

by mort96 4mo ago
Wait, is that wrong? I always call fread as: fread(data, 1, sizeof(buffer), f); with the rationale that I'm interested in reading sizeof(buffer) individual bytes. The buffer size is incidental, not the size of the items I&#x27

That sounds pretty bad. I don’t “defend DO”, I just use it for now; but as someone whose opinion on DO is at least neutral-to-positive, it is that way because I have never experienced what you did nor even read about similar experiences bef
