  • [Open question] Why are so many rust opensource projects MIT licensed?

    Jump

  • If you click the link, you'll see that Rust projects are no exception in their use of MIT. Do you believe other programming language communities also just care about spreading?

  • Are you saying it's not a conscious choice? They're just going with what they consider to be the default and that happens to be MIT?

  • Thank you. That would explain why corporations use it (and the Apache license), however my guess is that most opensource projects aren't corporate. Do you maybe have a guess why non-corporations use MIT?

  • Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?

  • I'd say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn't be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.

    Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn't be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.

    Want to protect children? Educate them.

  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

    Jump

  • Same. I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription and just sticking with what works. I'm not sure I had a really useful update in a while.

  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

    Jump

  • Right now, the jetbrains IDEs are my favourite because they are proper IDEs, not some editor with a bunch of scripts in a trenchcoat pretending to be an editor. But the company is starting to lose touch with its customers: developers who want an IDE for productivity, not a VS Code lookalike. It's like the company is finally being taken over by managers who don't know lick about development and it's starting to show (at least to me).

    Now, I'm on the market for a new editor and even willing to pay, even though I'd prefer paying for an open source IDE. Right now, Zed is looking interesting. The only thing that bothers me is how loud people were about it. Hype destroys my faith in stuff as it's often just good marketing. Another thing that bugged me is that when they started, they were "Mac first, Linux maybe". But now that the hype has died down, there's much less "omg, zed is the new editor and it will be better anything else" type posts, and it supposedly works on Linux, I can give it a try.

  • Anyone else dealing with this, hiring freeze for new devs but more work/projects?

    Jump

  • Execs that float this shit can suck it. If they don't want to hire, don't let them saddle you with more work. I work my hours, do what I can and clock out. If they ask for more, I tell them what I'm working on, how much it takes, and when their stuff will be able to get slotted in. They can try and squeeze more out of you, but only if you let them. Don't let them.

    They can fire you and try to hire a sucker who will - or keep running through suckers that do, but it won't do their company nor their clients good, at least not in the long term. But these people are only around for the short term gains.

  • The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI

    Jump

  • Why do people always have to use some freemium offering when there's an opensource, self-hosted or already hosted variant out there? I don't get it. Just riding the wave I guess.

  • NixOS Logo and Branding Update | Blog

    Jump

  • I honestly thought this was going to be a post about how they finally are going to trademark nix and the logo. Can they even trademark it? My feeling is that "nix" is just too ambiguous a term to trademark.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!

    Jump

  • My problem isn't the hardware, it's that the place I'm moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.

  • My problem is that I'm moving in the not so far future and I don't know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it'll be worthless due to encryption. But if it's in somebody's datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I'd have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.

    I'm considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I'm not sure they'd be up for it.

    How would you solve the problem?

  • Oh, my comment was more that compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit. Windows may be the worst to compile on, but Linux is only marginally better.

    Rust is amazing though.

  • Company creates problem. Requires users to change because of created problem. You defend company creating problem.

    That's the logical flaw.

    If you see no flaws in defending a monopolist, well, you cannot be helped then.
