OpenTelemtry is the perfect example of an overengineered mess. While I usually think that at least having some standard that people agree on I think OpenTelemtry should be dropped. A lot of the less popular alternatives (just going with P

That's all nice on a theoretical but such ideas quickly fall flat in a world where corporations are owned by rich people and create pollution often whole countries are even unable to pull off, often completely unpunished often economic

Well, this is just silly. "We can all agree: the incentives are bad." Seriously?! If I kill someone, or behave like an asshole, everyone will hate me, so I've got an incentive not to. Is that so horrible? The reason that peop

They for that reason also were very very early in the Xen game both host and guest. Back when it was essentially a research project, why before hardware virtualization was even on the roadmap for Intel.

I will focus on the things that people rarely point out. Btw. to be clear, I largely use Linux personally and professionally. So no evangelism here. First of all: The BSDs are ALL general purpose operating systems, not distributions. I just

There is Consent-O-Matic. Also I wanna know when websites don't give a shit about my privacy and therefor have to show a cookie banner. While theoretically not consenting should mean not collecting blocking it altogether and modifying

No, please don't! It's great. The current law forces people that don't give a shit about user privacy to have a banner (or any other way of asking for consent first) while giving everyone that cares and everyone not wanting t

"doing a lot of work" and "doing a lot of the heavy-lifting" are and have been somewhat common on reddit, etc. I guess it's a great source for LLMs for weighting, because the weighting is largely done for you via up

I get that. That's not my criticism. My criticism is that you can do say that about many things. With that argument you can essentially encompass everything, which is cool in a way, but also means that the scope is at least bigger than

Fair enough. Isn't that another topic more tied to WASM compare to what initially claimed to be a "System Interface" and not a language interface or a browser interface?

Even if something lasts due to pure inertia it lasts. And something that lasts is pretty nice if you want a standard to last, or be implemented. The standard usually isn't the thing that you use to proof you can do something better, by

I think there is a difference between "just copying" and "building upon understood systems and standards". Also to be fair "just copying" works really really well, especially for standards. The primary goal of

I agree. This is saddening. It seems to often happen in "standard first" scenarios for some reason. I was very happy when CloudABI and POSIX were picked as prior art inspiration. Now it feels like it moved from "what would we

That's something that is really really common in other contexts as well. For example lower level languages and especially more verbose languages make one feel a lot more productive. Another example is over-engineered infrastructure and

Really rather unfortunate. I wished religious people took their stuff seriously and not so often end up concluding that the bible wants them to harm people or something. I guess it must be the same that make people think they must deliver f

Sorry but that's simply not true. There are various cases where vulnerabilities didn't affect OpenBSD due to defense in-depth in OpenBSD. OpenBSD has a pretty long history of eg. limiting attacks through compile time mitigations w
