Does it matter? Whether they are doing it on device or in the cloud, they are still recording what their customers say and collecting data on it without their consent. To me, this is really an admission.

That sounds neat, I haven't seen it, although I think someone else mentioned they were using neocities. Do they support random static sites?

It's different for codeberg, because they have a lot of infrastructure they have to maintain, and are ideologically motivated to be a libre option to share peoples code. It's an entirely different motivation than promoting a subre

I braced myself for this, and instead found that it worked surprisingly well for my uses. I only manage 4 gigs though.

Man, I always hoped to find a project like this on hackernews. I starred it.

It's pretty sad in the indie gamedev world that handling and versioning binary data is considered an enterprise feature. I understand that git was explicitly designed for source code, but it would be nice to have any open system that h

What is a real text editor, by your estimation? NVim? Emacs? Genuinely curious. I use VSCode/Codium since I maintain a GUI stack for general usage. But I have all the terminal tools installed for my work there as well. I hate customizi

I gotta say, Fedora plus KDE - have not had any major issue, and certainly none as bad as desktop utility performance degradation on Windows 11. Probably a little more fragile feeling than Windows 10, but it honestly has felt basically same

This thing came by default on AlmaLinux, which I am evaluating for some HomeLab stuff. It's pretty neat! Definitely not a replacement for cotnainer management though - it is really more of a sysadmin portal where you can view services

Let's assume they aren't correct - is the massive cost DOGE is incurring to taxpayers while destroying essential government services and weakening our national security a good thing?

If you have to render html, which is what markdown ultimately becomes, you might as well use a web broswer.

That's not it! Direct engineering effort towards new features that will drive new customers and markets. Functionality is unimportant. Haven't you ever worked in enterprise software? I'm kidding btw.

Yes, but the cat is out of the bag now. Welcome to the era of every piece of creative work coming with an EULA that you cannot train on it. It will be like clearing samples.

I have been on the other side of this where engineers end up just being a technical support team, and are competed over to directly support accounts, and then there ends up being a plethora of hot fixes and custom solutions per customer. Th

See, that's the issue. I want my distribution to distribute the dependencies I need to run applications outside of containers. That's, like, it's main job man.

Not working with datasets. Binary files aren't that large, and these tools are generally bad for my use case - because I am not concerned about datasets. I need to track changes in binary files of very reasonable size. Total repo size

How is forejo's git LFS support? I self host gitea (from before the split) but I am considering making the switch. LFS is a must for me though.

If enterprise corporations actually did a throughout investigation, they would probably find that a lot of their license deals have gone unfulfilled. They are really bad about this kind of stuff. It became super complicated to buy this kind

There has historically been massive investor and shareholder pressure for companies to show "Cloud Recurring Revenue" and multiple wall street analysts will start issuing higher price points for your stock based on this, and event

Most government IT is using RHEL. You are correct, it is because of the thankless work they put into long term enterprise support. Microsoft doesn't do anything like that.

I can assure you, the DoD isn't a bunch of windows servers hosting sharepoint for the public. Federal government IT in general is a RHEL shop, at least serverside.

Let's Encrypt cert renewal comes out of the box on traefik? I haven't kept up with it. I'm on a similar set and forget schedule with configured nginx and some crowdsec stuff, but the API change ended up killing off an afterno

Would you suggest something? I do this, but I'm not sure I would call maintaining my setup trivial. Got in trouble recently because my domain registrar deprecated an API call and it ends up that broke the camel's back in my automa

All my personal and professional feelings aside (they are mixed) it would be fascinating to consider a subnet based TLS scheme. Usually I have to bang on doors to manage certs at the load balancer level anyway.

Sounds like we need more safety regulations.

Absolute encoders can be really good for position critical applications that you don't want to re-home all the time. Linear stages, winches - if you don't want to re home it and it needs accurate position control you start looking

This is exactly why I ended up going for Godot with my own hobby game. I have made a lot of progress on a custom game engine in the past without actually having a game to make in mind. It always gets to the point where you have to start mak

In the robotics community, the stuff coming out of George Hotz has always been considered a kludgy mess, and unsuitable for serious work. Dude is a talented hacker, but the idea that this will replace ROS is kind of a joke.

This is kind of the mixed feeling I have about this blog post. There is a recognition that we need universal tools that are designed with honest intentions to be effective in general problem domains. But determining the boundaries of those

So - what is the lesson learned? The only clear message for me is that critical programs that also demand kernel level access maybe shouldn't update themselves.
