There is an effort by the Bananas Team to get standard Debian working on Apple silicon, and they have installation instructions for how to get it running now with an additional unofficial repository: https://wiki.debian.org/

First time seeing that, but yes, seems similar in concept. Iocaine can be self-hosted and put in as a "middleware" in your reverse proxy with a few lines of config, cloudflare's seems tied to their services. Cloudflares also

So, basically iocaine ( https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/ ). It has indeed been very useful to get the AI scraper load on a server I maintain down to a reasonable level, even with its not so strict default configuration.

And what I've said is that there are more options. You don't have to use cgroups directly, there are other tools abstracting over them (e.g. systemd) that aren't also container runtimes.

I think the storage optimization aspect is secondary, it is more about keeping control over your distribution. You need processes to replace all occurrences of xz with an uncompromised version when necessary. When all packages in the distri

You have to differentiate container images, and "runtime" containers. You can have the former without the latter, and vice versa. They are entirely orthogonal things. E.g. systemd exposes a lot of resource control as well as sandb

Emacs is a bit special in that the "canonical" way of editing a remote configuration file with it is probably using TRAMP, i.e. connecting your local emacs via ssh to edit the remote file as if it was local.

Brew _is_ a linux package manager. There is also conda/mamba/pixi/etc. (anything in the conda-forge ecosystem) that can be used without root. Then there are Guix and nix, which (mostly) require to be set up by someone with ro

If you don't want to argue about definitions, then I'd recommend you don't start arguments about definitions. "AI" is not special-sauce. LLMs are transformations that map an input (a prompt) to some output (in this

Well apparently they have been somewhat profitable from 2016 to 2019, and they have been paying a dividend to the state more often than not. I don't think their goal is actively loosing money?

Just because it is even more true elsewhere does not mean it is untrue here.

The DB AG has been specifically founded to be "market-oriented" and profit-making, so yes, it is true. I am sure the state could try to do _something_ about it, but I am also sure that a very strong car lobby here in Germany is w

DB has been reorganized as an AG in the 90s, i.e. a corporation under private law. They are forced to (at least try to) make a profit for their shareholders, which is a common trait of private organizations. They consistently do so via shor

What do you mean by "orgs", and what do you mean by "the codeberg"? Sure, they could try to bribe the Codeberg e.V. active members into changing its mission or disbanding the association entirely, but they would need to

I said e.V., not EV. Codeberg is an e.V., i.e. a "registered association" in Germany. I am not actually sure if you could technically buy an e.V., but I am 100% certain that all of the Codeberg e.V. members would not take kindly t
