That's something people should run themselves. I run Adguard Home on my router. Unlike the main Adguard product, Adguard Home is fully FOSS. It's been rock-solid for me, and improves on pi-hole in various ways - like full IPv6 sup

But do real apps actually use them directly? Or only through the userland libraries? Just FYI, the https://www.darlinghq.org project is doing MacOS app compat on Linux - i.e. building the userland libraries.

The real link: https://www.cappuccino.dev/aristo/ Looks great, so sad that it's yet another web framework. Kinda smacks of GNOME, though.

I honestly think the kernel interface is by far the easiest part of building a MacOS compat layer. The userland is gigantic, super complex, and totally closed source. That's the hard part. AFAIK all macos software only talks to the k

Because more-or-less all code in the kernel increases the attack surface and makes general security improvements more difficult. Removing code of all types makes maintainability easier, so old, unmaintained code is an easy sell for removal.

They're being removed due to a lack of maintenance. If anyone cared about that hardware and fixed the bugs, surely they would be kept.

Windows has containers?

I'd argue that's more because the average person has no interest in installing a new OS, or even any idea what an OS is. Most people just keep the default. When the default is Linux (say, the Steam Deck), most people just keep Lin

Because latency matters when gaming in a way which doesn't matter with AI inference? Plus cloud gaming is always limited in range of games, there are restrictions on how you can use the PC (like no modding and no swapping savegames in

AFAIK it's not really possible to implement Everything in Linux because Everything relies on reading the entire file list at once from the NTFS metadata, allowing it to index at incredible speed. On Linux, there are dozens of filesyste

It's incredibly obnoxious when people type "in my country" as if we're all supposed to just... know where they live. It's also incredibly common. Why do people do this?

Thank you for the correction, I did get that wrong. To be clear, there was no easy solution to get reliable, low latency DNS responses from my own resolver without breaking keepalive by forcibly caching entries longer?
15.
by ripdog 1y ago
Well that's the experience I had. Obviously caching was enabled (unbound), but most DNS keepalive times are so short as to be fairly useless for a single user. Even if a root server wasn't in the US, it will still be pretty slow f

by ripdog 1y ago
Not a hardware issue, but a physics problem. I live in NZ. I guess the root servers are all in the US, so that's 130ms per trip minimum.

"Emulator" is the wrong word, but the answer is yes. The word you actually meant was "re-implementation" - writing a completely new, clean-room program which reads Source data files (levels, assets, scripts) and allows t

Then just turn it off. qBT isn't windows, it doesn't demand autoupdate. That said, you really shouldn't be running outdated torrent clients, like any network-connected programs. Case in point - the topic of this thread.
22.
by ripdog 2y ago
Without a formal audit on a variety of BT clients, this isn't really an answerable question. Just because this one issue was discovered in qBT, doesn't mean that there are hundreds more in it, and Transmission, say, has none.

Qt isn't just a GUI toolkit - it's an everything toolkit. It's somewhat intended to be used (potentially) alone with C++ to allow the creation of a wide variety of apps. It includes modules like Bluetooth, Network, Multimedia

I live in NZ, there's no standard here. It's damned annoying. I've heard that Facebook Messenger is the most popular, but I only know one person who uses it and I don't have an account myself.

By default was missing from the sentence. You can do it with Whatsapp etc, but both you and the other party need to download a 3rd party app to do so.

Tragically, a large proportion of manga artists die early. The lifestyle of spending 12 hours a day bent over a desk, frantically drawing, stressing about deadlines, all contributes to a variety of causes of early death. Treasure your manga

This sort of nitpicking really isn't appropriate for this time and place. It comes off as criticism of Dragon Ball for being aimed at boys, though I understand you did not actually intend that. A mourning thread is not the place to sta
