Still requires docker?

Ah. So MM’s still in the sidelines and IBM still pulling strings, so little chance of ditching fucking systemd in Fedora, and thus RedHat. That’s the one good thing I can see from a regime change: improvement of the codebase by, for example, pruning pet projects when the pets leave for Microsoft.

If we can simply help Americans understand small-s socialism from small-c communism, we’d be in much better shape.

Because yes, my healthcare is already paid in advance by me and everyone else from our taxes; and my buddy’s emergency Sunday morning quintuple stent install after the widowmaker heart attack and two ambulances and a bed in one hospital before transfer (a third bus) to the regional trauma/cardiac center for the operation and 2 weeks of aftercare was free to him that day – and his only concern was not dying. And that’s not just normal but that’s the general expectation. No monthly subscription, no premium cost, no user fee, just paid-parking and vendor-machine food for visitors not coming in via the train.

Our upcoming election will gut that, though. Being bankrupt, losing retirement savings and mortgaged to the hilt at 61 is the American dream mr Polievre has for all Canadian plebes.

Survey seems broken. JavaScript crutches?

The key is modules. Then people can use the protocols that work, even if they’re a little stale.

Don’t you flip pages in a book?

Is a term emulator an epub reader now?

Mitchell Hashimoto achieved a 1.0 release?!?

There’s a clear basis for calling his company MushyCore at my shop. Everything is squishy in the middle!

didn’t find answers [:] they’re buried in general discussions about why compiling may be better than pre-built. The reasons I found were control of flags and features, and optimizations for specific chips (like Intel AVX or ARM Neon), but to what degree do those apply today?

You won’t build and install directly from source in any proper enterprise environment, simply because validation breaks and (provably) consistency goes with it; and that takes out reliability.

Even accounting for the gains when you’re tuning stuff, or even when it’s a home build, or even when it’s a kernel build and you’re removing or adding drivers or tunable defaults, ultimately you will be building a package as a portable artefact to be submitted for testing or pulled out of backups for easy re-install. Especially when kernel builds take a long time, and even when you’re using makefiles for much of it, you’re STILL going to be building a package, only so you have the process encoded and repeatable and so you don’t have to re-make if it all works (more an issue when building a kernel package took 25 hours, but you get the idea).

So. In short, if someone’s telling you to compile into production from source, it’s still a security risk and it’s also inefficient past the N=1 stage. Irresponsible for TWO reasons, then.

Edit. I coordinated with Support while I was doing Security work in ~2005. You wanna know how to piss off your support worker and fast-track a ticket to ‘no repro’ death? “I compiled it on the machine from source …” and that goes for paid support or gitlab project volunteer support.

Love to replace Systemd. What.a.piece.of.shit.

Heh. Cheap generalizations are fun.

ITT: 100 people naming their favourite distro and making that fit whatever OP needs.

Refactoring is good work. Rewriting is shallow fun.

Do the math.

Exception: perl is write-only code. Always rewrite.

require an issue to be reproducible with flatpak,

As a guy who worked in OS security, no fucking way will I be doing that.

With only manufactured circumstance to fuel completely arbitrary result.

Wow.

Stay in school, kids.

I’d prefer to manage systemd profiles in the rearview.

I think I’m 30 years in, and I came to mention I haven’t used the GUI since ~97.

And here, last night, I was stressing over an issue with distributing the version of an app that I knew would solve the problem caused by this other app being only a facsimile of the one it replaced, and is there for missing some important compatibility.

But new is shiny so fuck ‘usable’.

So I was grabbing this other app to do the thing I knew it could, but this app was first built 18 years ago, and last major update - security not feature - was 9-10 years ago. The app is feature-complete and it’s not fucking systemd so it can stop at being perfect for its primary use.

But then its python interpreter has left it behind, like “fuck you this can’t even run”, because they fucked wit the api without thinking. And now this app is just abandonware.

I think that’s two sides of the same coin: you have inept answers from people practicing robotic responses, and my thing was killed by eager-beaver devs who cut off features they don’t understand or value, just like a civil war surgeon treating athletes foot. Similar, my shit won’t ever run again either.

(No I don’t know python yet. Too busy working to learn it; and also indentation disco sucks)

Bosh

You mean ‘Bosch’? The one founded by Robert Bosch and which bears his name, ‘Bosch’? That Bosh?
