    Cross-Platform Desktop Wars: Electron vs Tauri: How do you explain the tradeoffs to users (without sounding defensive)?

    Jump

  • Hey,

    Person here who despises electron apps in part because of the memory footprint and in part because I don't like neither chromium nor node.js - personal preference mainly.

    From your description I have the feeling that it's unclear to your user base if electron is set or up to debate. There is only a thin line between "explaining" and "defending".

    In terms of communication: "We're using electron as foundation because it allows us to focus on development. We've considered alternatives like Tauri and XYZ and opted in favor of electron."

    If there are situations that might make you rethink state those as well ("if someone provides a proof of concept via XYZ that an alternative is faster by y% while enabling us to still use (your core libraries and languages) we might consider a refactor."

    If you'd engage with me after an electron rant on your codebase you'd just raise my hope that I might change your mind! Don't give people hope, don't feed the trolls and do your thing!

    Just please be honest with yourself: your app doesn't use "50 to 60 MB", it uses 500MBish on idle because of your choice. And that's okay as long as you as developer say that it is.

  • To support what others have said: even precum can get you pregnant.

    It's not that "pull out is a tad unreliable" - it is horrible and the failure quota is ridiculously high. And that's only pregnancy, not even considering the whole disease fun you're signing up for. With a bit of bad luck that's a lifetime of annoying medication, no a few weeks.

    This means from my point of fire in order of urgency:

    A) First of all: stranger, feel loved 🤗 I find it awesome that you have he courage to ask this question!

    B) get plan B. It'll suck if you're reacting but that's only a week or two.

    C) Review your sexual habits: if you're into spontaneous drunk sex figure out a reliable protection that you don't have to think too much about. If it's with strangers there's no way around a condom in addition if you don't want to take something for your hepathitis or HIV for the rest of your life. If it's people you know and trust then something "just" against pregnancy is enough. If it's a mix of both I suggest getting a baseline protection that you don't have to think about in the heat of the moment and condoms as preventative plan B for the cases where you're not too sure.

    It sounds like a cliche but it's true: The more the dude resists protection the more you'll need it. After all it will be you who'll be alone with the consequences. You're worth more than a few fun moments for some dick!

  • It's you who is the idiot then, to use your wording

    Exceptions and exemptions are easily changed and amended. The principal laws themselves are the issue not the details of their implementation and V0 exceptions.

  • How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]

    Jump

  • That's my problem: any single word humanizes the tool in my opinion. Iperhaps something like "stochastic debris" comes close but there's no chance to counter the common force of pop culture, Corp speak a and humanities talent to see humanoid behavior everywhere but each other. :(

    Jump

  • Accepting concepts like "right" and "wrong" gives those tools way too much credit, basically following the AI narrative of the corporations behind them. They can only be used about the output but not the tool itself.

    To be precise:

    LLMs can't be right or wrong because the way they work has no link to any reality - it's stochastics, not evaluation. I also don't like the term halluzination for the same reason. It's simply a too high temperature setting jumping into a closeby but unrelated vector set.

    Why this is an important distinction: Arguing that an LLM is wrong is arguing on the ground of ChatGPT and the likes: It's then a "oh but wen make them better!" And their marketing departments overjoy.

    To take your calculator analogy: like these tools do have floating point errors which are inherent to those tools wrong outputs are a dore part of LLMs.

    We can minimize that but then they automatically use part of their function. This limitation is way stronger on LLMs than limiting a calculator to 16 digits after the comma though...

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • No, you're missing the point: he can claim all he wants. He doesn't and didn't. You say yourself that it's engagement bait - why do you believe this statement of his??

    Edit just because I was curious and had to test for myself: "What's the best Linux gaming distro" for example shows a different result for me. Adding "comparison" blows it onto a completely different direction and gives more sources.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • Just no. This has nothing to do with Linux - this guy has a huge team of people doing research, orchestrating videos and analyzing interactions. This is the face of a huge company, not some "newbie" like you make it appear.

    This is simply another piece of engagement bait. He will never have good success because he will have another "last go" in half a year.

    He didn't have a motivation to switch. He didn't raise a clear scenario why he claims to want to switch. He's baiting communities like this one and I'm quite annoyed that this fucker still succeeds.

    I've met many Linux newbies in my life - not a single one just went with the first distro showing up. Not a single one. Depending on the individual it was either "what's best for me?" or "What's easiest?". I can count the people who didn't start out with one of those two on one hand

  • The Next (De)Generation

    Jump

  • Oh yeah! It's sad that users have to have a technical education to use the Internet if laws and what at least I perceive as "right" fundamentally differ.

    At least for the moment it's only copy right for me personally - there are countries and laws where this need is way more fundamental :(

  • The Next (De)Generation

    Jump

  • No it doesn't. Because it's not an opinion but a description on how to not get into the situation you've described - i.e. about personal security.

    What I've described prevents a link between you and your online actions - that's the whole point. It's the defense against surveillance and can be applied on situations with way higher risk than just a fine.

  • The Next (De)Generation

    Jump

  • Yeah that's way more specific and can get behind - I don't even test any "free" VPNs.

    I didn't intend to imply that VPNs are free.

  • The Next (De)Generation

    Jump

  • "most of them are (if advertised heavily)" is quite a claim without data to back it up.

    At least for the one I tested none of them sent additional traffic over my connection. That's just one data point and I only looked to ones with port forwarding but still far away from your claim.

    There are a shitload of VPN tests out there and testing id your connection gets used by third parties for not traffic is even possible for a layperson.

    Please stop fear mongering without remedies or specifics.

  • The Next (De)Generation

    Jump

  • That's what VPNs are there for! Ze German setup: gluetun and qbittorrent via docker, qbittorrent only going over gluetuns network.

    This way we can return what we take tenfold and still come out on top!

  • Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant

  • Yeah this is beyond ridiculous to blame anything or anyone else.

    I mean accidently letting lose an autonomous non-tested non-guarailed tool in my dev environment... Well tough luck, shit, something for a good post mortem to learn from.

    Having an infrastructure that allowed a single actor to cause this damage? This shouldn't even be possible for a malicious human from within the system this easily.

  • System76 on Age Verification Laws

    Jump

  • That's an utterly ignorant statement.

    To expect others, often volunteer, to take such a personal risk because the legislation in one part of the world is utterly fucked. How about expecting the people who actually live in the country and state and have a chance to influence those laws to step up their game instead of trying to tell third parties to take individual and personal consequence.

  • System76 on Age Verification Laws

    Jump

  • They outline the issues from their perspective.

    What else should they do? Break their own licence model (which prohibits (geographic) discrimination) or break the law? It's either one of those two or comply.

  • Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?

    Jump

  • Opencloud is the was to go from the established systems in my opinion. https://github.com/opencloud-eu

    File sharing and -management for me has a higher level of trust and stability requirements. Syncin with four developers and "doing everything" while based on typescript makes me suspicious - but I haven't tried it hands-on.

  • Best reverse proxy with ACME to run in docker

    Jump

  • Traefik and caddy were mentioned, the third in the game is usually nginxproxymanager.

    I'm using both traefik and nginx in two different setups. The nginxproxymanager can be configured via UI natively which makes checking configurations a bit easier.

    Traefik on the other hand is configured easily within the compose itself and you have everything in one place.

    This turned out to be tiresome though if you don't have a monolithic compose file - that's actually even hr history why I switched to npm in the first place.

    I don't have any experience with caddy so can't provide anecdotal insights there.
