  • Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company

    Jump

  • Just once would I like to see a thread about Poettering without people being fucking idiots in the comments. We know literally nothing about this verifiable integrity product and people are already shitting on it. The guy could announce that he developed a cure to cancer and people would still complain about it.

  • Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News

    Jump

  • Other video hosting providers are available if it ever becomes a problem. I don't think they will loose much sleep over this.

  • The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

    Jump

  • The few people I know who had a Windows phone really liked the UI, the platform was just mismanaged by Microsoft. For example, they already had a problem with having too little apps in their store and then they broke app compatibility between Windows phone 7 and 8. I guess Google intentionally breaking compatibility of their services on Windows phones didn't help adoption either.

  • Can we share our work?

    Jump

  • Sure, as long as it actually your work and this community doesn't become a dumping ground for vibecoded projects like r/selfhosted.

  • Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app

    Jump

  • Soon in the Microslop support forums: "Please help, I asked Copilot for the photos of my late grandma and it deleted my entire C drive".

  • Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life

  • open source is always a spectrum

    It most definitely is not.

  • A plan for a post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (a speech at 39C3 in Hamburg on Dec 28, 2025)

    Jump

  • Its bullshit. You remember that BMW heated seat subscription they tried to sell? If you tried to sell a hack that unlocks that, BMW can sue you. BMW don't own the car, they sold it, but anti-circumvention law dictates that you are not allowed to mess with BMWs "technological barriers" in order to use the car in a way not intended by BMW.

  • Where can I get Linux stickers?

  • The EU link contains almost exclusively Linux themed AI slop.

    Did they even look at that slop before throwing it on that site?

  • What's the best resource to learn backend development?

    Jump

  • You could take a look at these courses for ASP.NET or Spring if you are looking for something that isn't JavaScript.

  • Suggestions for first C project

    Jump

  • C is the lingua franca of computing, having a basic understanding of it is in my opinion an essential skill. So I would disregard the recommendations of learning Zig or Rust for now. These languages have their place but they aren't as entrenched and universal as C. To learn C you could try a few of the exercises on the exercism C learning track. Another good project, to learn a new programming languages in general, is building a calculator that parses an expression like 2 + 3 / (5 - 1) and outputs the result while respecting the correct order of operations.

  • Rust bad Jai good

    Jump

  • I am used to the uninformed complaining about Rust but suggesting JAI of all things as an alternative is new.

  • GUI library for C?

  • Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only

    Jump

  • See Wikipedia:

    The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym "fiatjaf" as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

    Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.

    In 2024, in an article reporting on the project's funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.

    Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, "Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me" and some AI bullshit.

  • At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke

  • Funnily enough, the decree banning the use of Schwabacher Judenlettern ("Jew-letters of Schwabach") went out using a Nazi party letter head that was printed in a Fraktur typeface.

  • Solutions for remote access?

    Jump

  • No, I use a second reverse proxy for my local network. For example, I can resolve navidrome either via my VPS using navidrome.mydomain.net or directly in my local network with the address navidrome.local.mydomain.net. I also configured the local caddy reverse proxy with a DNS provider module to get LetsEncrypt certificates for my local addresses.
