  • Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

    Jump

  • Check out ptyxis as well. Terminal with support for opening new tabs into the container namespaces.

    Honestly tinkering like this is a lot more stable for me. If I bork it, I can just blow it away. I just need to get better about going from tinker to full Containerfile for my build environments lol

  • Linux 6.19 Gets Rid Of The Kernel's "Genocide" Function

    Jump

  • I did have a very real work experience where people went "a what list" when I mentioned we had a black list of software built. I am kind of glad to move past black is bad, white means good phrasing tbh because some people are turned off by it.

    If we could just end racism, as in the fucking stupid idea of race at all, it wouldn't matter. People are even black and white...

  • Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source

    Jump

  • Another government stops renting key software and instead invests in actuall ownership!

    Honestly, if Microsoft said they wanted to own the Autobahn I could only imagine people would tell them to fuck off (in english and deutche). Why would digital infrastructure be any different?

  • Hmm, any XCP-NG fans for self-hosting?

    Jump

  • I know a person that swore up and down about it, but personally I didn't see the appeal. I am biased towards containers though so Harvester is my Promo alternative I'm running

  • If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?

    Jump

  • Contribute to opensource you use! Honestly I ping pong back and forth between swamped and bored , with contributing back as a good way to get ahead of future issues and involved in future work

  • The LanguageTool extension will now be paid

    Jump

  • Worth paying for. Honestly guys selhost for yourself and family contribute to project you depend on, and pay for everything else you don't have the time to do that too.

    Its free as in freedom, not free as in beer. Their still FOSS even so this isn't even a rug pull imho. The worst thing is it requires an account which hurts the privacy aspect of that. One the few times something like Meta mask actually makes sense... Maybe some way to get an token generated and sent for use rather than a blanket account

  • The IPC increase is the most sure tradeoff for sure.

    Agreed, engineering is deciding what trade offs are acceptable. Cargo culting any pattern is a good way to build runaway junk

  • Can be more efficient, but it's not always. You can scale those services more too. Do you need all 16 running on idle? Lazy load then as needed. Also does it really need a whole 500mb? Why? If its just a cache made that's better handles with another shared service (redis, etc). If it's software, why? A full "fat" Suse Base Container image uncompressed is 94.8mb and not all of that will be loaded in RAM. Going down to a micro at 23mb. All this and now you can deploy it on the shared infra, no separate OS, Management/security/logging/networking solution.

  • Honestly probably got the project to more maintainable state. Probably didn't need the rewrite to do it in a new lang to do it (the real killer hear it sounds like).

    Those monoliths suck on the operations side, and even worse when it's a corpse holding up the foundation to other projects that actually need it to change. Need to scale? good luck that decades old pizza box we call a server isn't supported anymore. Oh of course we can spend millions virtualizing dead hardware to keep it running the same.

  • I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.

    Jump

  • That feels like the trap here. There is no intention, just patterns.

  • I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.

    Jump

  • How many hours prompting have you put into it so far?

  • I can't just call everything snake oil without some actual measurements and tests.

    Naive cynicism is just as naive as blind optimism

  • Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

    Jump

  • Cast iron flavors the dish some. A seasoned one adds the oils and other stuff used to season it as well.

  • Linux NTFS3 Driver Will Now Support Timestamps Prior To 1970

    Jump

  • Very cool for archival work!

  • Do you think the DRAM shortages will result in more of a focus on software optimization?

    Jump

  • Just saw a paper about shifting AI training to nvme drives. But the penality, even with direct from GPU access was high.

    If this trend looks to go past a few quarters I would expect new software or features to prioritize it. I'm sure some cool cats in the FOSS world might indenpently be motivated by this as well as part of their contributions.

    Honestly from an ecosystem side, it would be cool to see more of the green computing metrics being added to big projects

  • Japan Unveils Human Washing Machine, Now You Can Get Washed Like Laundry

    Jump

  • Honestly wild. Like did they all turn a screw once? Big git repo?

  • openSUSE Begins Rolling Out Intel NPU Support

    Jump

  • Cool! I didn't know there was a user space component needed (I guess that makes sense, just didn't think about it). I can't wait to see what Ollama looks like accelerated with one of these.

  • What is your response to people saying "data privacy doesn't matter because it's all out there anyway"?

    Jump

  • Don't let perfect be the enemy of good and if not for yourself but your friends and family. You would want them being stalked online right?

  • I Tried Switching to Linux for 157 Days - BasicallyHomeless

  • That was the funniest part to me. Like he already messed with audio earlier too lol
