Calm down, they wrote "can", not "should".

Thanks, I'm a decades-long user of gettext from both developer and translator point of view, and have encountered several of the drawbacks to some extent. It's very good, and has certainly been good enough for most practical purpo

Everybody keeps saying the models are getting better, the tooling is getting better, people are discovering better practices... So why not just wait out this insane initial phase, and if anything is left standing afterwards and proves itsel

Corporate has been using the term "best-shoring" for a couple of years now. To my best guess, it means "off-shoring or on-shoring, whichever of the two is cheaper".

Since Signal lives and dies on having trust of its users, maybe that's all she is after? Saying the quiet thing out loud because she can, and feels like she should, as someone with big audience. She doesn't have to do the whole &q

And there's nothing wrong with it. That is what wireguard is meant to be - a rock-solid secure tunneling implementation that's easy to build higher-level solutions on.

You can tweak rate thresholds for F2B, so that it blocks the 100-attempts-per-second attackers, but doesn't block your three-attempts-per-minute manual fumbling.

You're confusing open source with public domain.

One of the most useful steps would be to support codeforges like Github on European soil, and development of the ForgeFed project, so that those forges can talk to each other.

I deleted my account the day Microsoft acquisition was confirmed. If more people did that, maybe we wouldn't be here.

The former is a cause, the latter an effect of it.

The two examples the grandparent post mentioned are not really evolution, but rather making everything sound bombastic and sensationalist. The end game for that trend is the cigarette brand ad billboard in Idiocracy, where a half-naked musc

No, you can not. Without understanding the technology, at best you can "vibe-review" it, and determine that it "kinda sorta looks like it's doing what it's supposed to do, maybe?".

Hopefully something ForgeFed-powered, so that we can all re-decentralize, as is right and proper.

There is always Patreon and other sites in that style. I support several content creators, both technical and nontechnical, with small monthly payments there.

That's not a fair criticism. Of course you need to expose the server to the network clients are going to be connecting from. Whether that is Internet or just a LAN, that's orthogonal to the protocol. I've also had an intra-co

Regarding the "Requires federation" section, that is not true. I've been running a small family-only homeserver for several years now, and had federation disabled on it from the very beginning, and there have been exactly zer

If that took "several rounds of clarification", then the support they're paying for is worthless. Getting version of the application should be among the first bits of information collected, possibly even required for opening

I've been playing games on Debian Stable for many years now, and although there were some issues back when the Linux Steam client first came out, in past five or so years, I noticed that I tend to forget to even check whether a game wo

I remember Gentoo Linux had all its official documentation in a system just like that, maybe 15-20 years ago. It was written and stored as XML, XSLT-processed and rendered into HTML on the webservers. They moved everything into a wiki later

Use a good adblocker. I'd never do anything illegal, of course, but a friend of my friend has been successfully using all sorts of pirated content sites for years, and swears he barely sees any ads. Or, you know, don't. The less

And they have a RSS feed, although it's a bit tricky to figure out, since the relevant header tag for that is set up incorrectly, pointing to a useless empty "comments" feed even from their main page. The actual feed for ar

Cool, now do loud motorbikes in cities. Those things, several times louder than cars, should be illegal anywhere but on isolated highways.

Thing is, with big corporations, cynical takes are usually the correct ones.
