They won't build software, they'll let some AI-based software do the execution of their instructions (which is inefficient, opaque, vendor-locked, not reproducible etc.)

If you mean using Incus on Flatcar, there is a PR for adding Incus as systemd-sysext extension. Flatcar inside Incus is a bit more difficult: for Flatcar being a container one can import https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net&#

With static binaries that is not needed (and you can use OS=_any in the extension release file to mark them compatible). If you want to repackage distro binaries without recompilation, you can have a look here: https://github.com

In https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/revision/e446ab7... one can open the patches and then click the "Changes" sub-tab. Stuff like this looks like a perf improvement but who knows if a tricky b

This might not be complete because this statement "More patches that seem (even in retrospect) to be fine follow." lacks some more backing facts. There were more patches before the SSH backdoor, e.g.: "Lasse Collin has alread

When socat is around a simple server can also be constructed with it: tee /tmp/server > /dev/null <<'EOF' #!/bin/bash set -euo pipefail SERVE="$1"

I really think we should have means of spawning wasm components from wasm components. How the runtime runs them should be up to the runtime - it could be directly backed by kernel primitives but it could also be in a browser. Leaking posix

For regular Linux users you can do: sudo touch /etc/udisks2/tcrypt.conf sudo systemctl restart udisks2 and then any veracrypt volumes can be used in Nautilus or GNOME Disks similar to LUKS volumes.

The next logical step would be to only support wasm programs ;)

gzip uses LZ and Huffman coding and not arithmetic coding with a predictor, so yes, these are not similar.

by goombacloud 3y ago
Specially compression algos that use arithmetic coding with interval weights adjusted based on the prediction of what is likely coming next are very similar. They adjust the arithmetic coding ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

There are multiple ways to start containers, one of them is to define systemd units in Ignition. If that part needs to change, reprovisioning is needed but a new "flatcar-reset" tool (in Alpha) should make the barrier for reprovis

For most use cases you can configure autosuspend and always wrap your commands with systemd-inhibit or gnome-session-inhibit. E.g., for an SSH session when starting tmux, or when you start the music player (for GNOME I guess that many playe

You can spawn a (priv) container with the host PID namespace and then trace from there.
22.
by goombacloud 4y ago
Not really, you can start it from the host and trace any container process you like. On Linux the processes are in one large tree and the host has IDs for all container processes. Inside the container you may have different IDs if a pid nam

by goombacloud 4y ago
You don't need to be in the container and trace from there, you can run strace outside of the container (you just have to make sure that the process ID you use is the one as seen from the host).

I find myself using cat or less even thought I have bat around because copying from cat or less works best and you don't get line breaks inserted.

It's sad to see that Apple Silicon gets extra treatment and arm64 work suddenly gets done while for Linux it's still amd64-only. With Signal it's the same and they also don't offer arm64 builds. Nowadays it's very e

I think the hard part is to know when caching is not allowed, and for that the compiler is a good point to manage such a cache because it could add metadata such as compiler version (maybe even patches?), compiler flags etc which a wrapper

Building into the kernel instead of using modules is not perfect because it increases RAM usage when you don't use certain modules compared to having them loaded on demand.

Love this modularity of swapping the compute modules!

The comparison doesn't make much sense because for fair comparisons you have to measure decompressor size plus encoded image size. The decompressor here is super huge because it includes the whole AI model. Also, everyone needs to have
