Ah, I now see what you mean. With the exceptions of /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and /var/run, which need to be shared for certain bits of software to communicate properly, /var is currently isolated by default. If a website is hosted at /var/www or e-mail contents stored at /var/spool/mail, a naive implementation of the rollback system swsieber described would roll back the website and e-mail as well. Bedrock can be easily configured to make such directories shared across the system and exempted from such a rollback system; hopefully any user who attempts such a workflow would catch this issue and change Bedrock configuration accordingly. I should probably investigate making such configuration default.

I've never used xwit before, but just looking at the description, I believe at least under sway the same should be achievable using sway's ipc protocol (I wouldn't be surprised if other compositors have similar options).

I think the difference to xwit is that it does not work across windowmanagers/compositors, because much of what X11 used to do is now the job of the compositor, but I assume the users who script xwit likely also have a very tuned windowmanager, so it's unlike they switch window managers all the time and they could therefore just tune their environment for the same functionality as xwit.
How to test your Next.js pages and components with Jest
I took over the maintenance of 0bin.net, and FOSS client encrypted pastebin.

By design it's anonymous, so no account, and no tracking, hence not an obvious money maker.

But I like using it, and I feel no pressure to make it better or fix it, so I can work on it once a year and just be happy.
In my work, that means a glue bond failed in fabrication. I like the direction you're going though. Thanks
Yeah that caught my eye as well. My home media server is a repurposed Dell tower server with redundant PSUs, if I can swing that for non-critical movies and TV shows, surely a large scale cloud provider will have not only redundant PSUs on each node, but their storage will be redundant and rebuildable as well? Else what are their customers actually paying for?
Unfortunately, the overpopulation of some species can cause havoc to the environment as well and can even lead to an environmental collapse (e.g. desertification). From mammals to viruses and bacteria there can always be unaccounted dominant force. Two examples come to my mind, 1) the lack of predators can lead to overpopulation and total exhaustion of the habitat (currently happening in the central Europe), 2) world supply of bananas being endangered by Panama disease. Who knows, maybe one day humanity will be conquered by super-corona
No, that does not solve the issue. Not using a compositor definitely makes tearing worse, on top of a number of other things, but even with a compositor, you'll get tearing on X, at least using intel graphics.
Well, it would still be linux presumably. MS would likely not allow them to use Windows that way. Or they‘d make it prohibitively expensive. In any case there‘d be even less differentiation from xcloud.

Shadow does offer Windows VM‘s. It works pretty well, but it‘s also quite expensive and not really generally available.
Good discussion of economic issues against purity of journalism.

Sometimes I feel perverse about doing this, but I take real pleasure in deciding what things to pay for. When I find small time video bloggers and also organizations that I believe have a useful message, I enjoy subscribing. I decide how much I want to support them and set a calendar reminder to cancel after a few months. Some news like PBS, Democracy Now, and The Guardian are on a permanent donation list for me.

Same thing for services. I am a critic of big tech in general, but I enjoy paying for services that I find of value, like Office 365, Google YouTube Music, and cloud platforms. I find high value in Apple’s privacy policies, not because they are great but because of comparisons to other FANG, so my wife and I indulge in lots of Apple gear.

> How can you complain about Ubuntu LTS keeping Xorg as default in an LTS when RedHat itself had Xorg as default at that time. Isn't this hypocrisy or irony?

RHEL8 uses Wayland as default. RHEL8 was released in May 2019. Ubuntu LTS was released in April 2020. What hypocrisy you are talking about?

> (same thing of idiots complaining about upstart being shit while RedHat and Goole were still using and supporting it.

Redhat uses systemd since RHEL7; Upstart was used in RHEL6.

Story time: Redhat management didn't see the point of systemd originally; Poettering did it in his spare time, and Redhat management has seen the point only after Fedora and Arch adopted it. Meanwhile, RHEL6 was already deep into its release cycle.
There is some problem in competitive systems that somebody will have an advantage over you once you tax these externalities. For this to work you would need the world (or a big enough part of it) to cooperate on this issue.
Interesting.

However I would be way happier if they added openSUSE to their distro offer and present some plan what they are planning to do about centos situation.

So far they only have Fedora and CentOS as RPM distros.

Mine is ULeague (https://www.uleague.ru). It's a platform for collegiate esports in Russia. We automate Dota tournaments and organize our own collegiate events.

It was and probably is a playground to learn coding and trying new technlogies: steam bots, rabbitmq, microservice architecture, svelte, typescript. A lot of fun and experience.

We even built a seperate platform for organizers to manage the tournaments. For now we use it ourselves. Pretty cool to host Dota games from the smartphone. Players just get instant invites to the in-game lobby. And after the match is finished the score, the bracket and the stats are updated automatically.

Not much time recently for new tournaments. But very cool to get positive feedback from the community.

I'm fairly aware that my browser is the main vulnerability, thank you, which is why I run different (mainstream) browsers for different sites already and actually want even more lock down for certain use cases than what IT currently privides.

I'll also add that in the last 20 years I've had one infection on a machine that I alone used (a drive by exploit in a banner ad on a developer blog I read) so a combination of carefulness/paranoia certainly helps ;-)

And no, I'm not suggesting anyone should uncritically download a random browser and start exploring the dark corners of the web.

Also: I agree, the robot thing was harmless, but that said: do you remember Superfish? The little thing that Lenovo added to their laptops? Which turned out to be a giant easily exploitable hole?

As for the robot extension:

- when I noticed it in between my own extensions it scared me quite badly until I managed to look it up

- companies that does such things aren't trustworthy. The robot thing was harmless. Superfish wasn't. Do you trust marketing executives to know the difference?

That's part of what I'm talking about. Giving a 'f you' sign on a public conference is not professional at all. I mean I know that it's Linus who did it, and we all like Linus, so we give him a free pass with his sh-ttalk, at the same time when we would condemn anyone else who uses such rhetoric who isn't Linus, but in closed-source software development world such clashes happen all the time, each month. Whether a software project in such environment is a success or failure depends on whether people will get along with each other, or not. In case of Nvidia/Wayland I think that simply people just don't want to get along each other.
"Maybe we deserve to be the chickens for once. "

Many people actually do live like those chickens.

Anyway, cutting the heads off of chickens is not really a problem with me. But how those chickens have to "live" before that. That bothers me.

Nature is not soft either btw., a wounded chicken in the forest would get eaten alive by ants for example. But before that, it usually had a intense life.

The chickens in the factory have no life. (and many of the people who eat them, neither)

"One of us in each world" is shorthand for "one of us in the entire system described by the wave function, with different amplitudes in different states".

There is only 1 detector, and it, along with the detected particle, is in a superposition of states.

Again, this is where the language of "worlds" becomes misleading, and why I don't like it.
Part of me wonders whether Covid-19 was natures way of allowing it a little breathing space, there are many studies about the results of shutting society away for a time and the positive impacts it had on nature (in some cases)

Yet, when I think to what has actually changed, I can't think of much. There were supposed to be more cycle lanes, more pedestrianized areas and less reliance on cars/transport and more emphasis on greener ways of getting around, yet the truth is, the population is too lazy/fat for that and it'd be far too inconvenient (I would suspect the vast vast majority of those with cars would refuse to give them up and would angrily protest at the thought! including myself). Borris Johnson himself said he was too obese and vowed to make changes, yet they never materialized. Why are we so scared to experiment? Why not make it illegal to use a car in London for 1 month and study the impacts/effects?

Can anyone detail any global significant change since we were aware of the "climate emergency"? Cars are as popular as ever, roads are still accessible to cars even if they weren't for a very short time (some areas disallowed cars to enable 'social distancing'). In my view of the world, absolutely nothing has changed or will be changing since it'd require a substantial rethink of how everything works.

We're still warming the planet,

We're still producing far too much plastic,

We're still sending far too much into landfill,

We're still having far, far too many children who just consume for their entire lives and input/provide nothing of value back,

We're still consuming way too much of nature,

for no benefit to nature whatsoever.

And that will continue until the day humans are essentially extinct, no government is capable of reversing the damage already done and damage to come, they just want good "PR" to be see as "helping".

If we are serious about this, we need to implement laws now about population control, there are too many families who do not need kids which are causing the trouble (among other things)

"screen tearing" is this thing which is always rolled out to defend Wayland, and I use X all the time and have never worried about this as a problem (even assuming I understand what the problem is). Maybe my eyes are too slow to see this or something. To throw away everything to get this imaginary benefit seems pretty strange to me.
Android is not GNU/Linux. There are an awful lot of Android computers out there. Embedded Linux is almost never GNU/Linux. There's an awful lot of embedded Linux out there.

Desktop Linux is hardly the majority of Linux installations. How many containers in the cloud are using something like Alpine Linux?

I'd dare say by and large glibc is in the minority.

> The same way Apple handles a PowerPC-compiled application from 1998.

It doesn't handle them at all. There was a transition mechanism, to get users updated, but it wasn't maintained long term. You could not run PowerPC binaries from 1998 in 2005.

Apple expected their users to update the binaries for new architecture in the long term. In many cases, not only ISA and ABI changed, APIs too; good luck if your application used Quickdraw.

(Yes, I still do have coasters in the basement).

So compared to that, Wayland's Xwayland is too nice and too longterm.
I don't expect a stable application to receive many patches. How many patches do you think Xorg should receive nowadays and in what areas?

On the subject of code ownership, many companies have an exclusion process. Don’t forget to look into that before giving up hope for personal projects.
I thought that software development was about finding solutions to problems, not escalating existing problems and demanding changes so we don't have to adapt.
Not sure how any of that relates to my rearranging the words. I was just making it follow the dictionary definition of atheism more closely, i.e. belief that there is no god.

No more implication than that. It is, however, actively a belief. It's not "I don't care" or "it's different to the one you believe in", or "I don't believe there is a god", it is "I believe there is no god"

Never said atheism was a religion, would never say that because it's objectively false.
I have not but I guess if I want to watch a video, why not stream it or download it on my actual machine?
Google has a bit of a problem here.

The majority of Australians are pretty indifferent/apathetic here. Murdoch vs Google is Goliath vs Goliath, nobody cares who wins, everyone hopes they both get wrecked in the process.

The best outcome here is if Google stops linking to news organisations in Australia.

Built it from what I imagined an ideal platform for developers to learn anything, code anything and be productive would look like, of course it didn't turn out to be that but rather 25% of what I imagined.
Can you write an application which uses screen capture on Wayland, and which works equally well regardless of compositor?

If not, then Wayland doesn't support screen capture. Individual compositors might, but asking developers to implement five separate screen capture protocols is a big ask.
>The key to being free and open is not putting up with corruption, not having too much of an ideological divide, and good investigative journalism that people care about.

I do not agree with this position at all.

The people can be easily manipulated into caring about only things the government allows them to care about - as is seen in the case of Australia's recent war crimes, for example, where the warrior culture has effectively suppressed any legitimate discussion of Australia's involvement in committing crimes against humanity with its ADF - who, incidentally, do not answer to the Australian people, but rather their sovereign - and she can do whatever she wants without oversight.

>Ideological divide?

The very definition of a free society is the allowance for, encouragement of, and accomadation for, ideological divides. Who gets to determine 'too much'?
> One problem is fixable.

Both are fixable. Given enough money.

But if not fixed the results will be the same.
The problem is overpopulation. Who cares if economics is zero sum when there is more than enough for everyone? It's only when there's scarcity of the necessities that war becomes a foregone conclusion.

The path backwards is depopulation, and living as stewards of nature who help the land flourish rather than viewing it as a resource to be raped for the benefit of the few.

But the environment is deeply political! A seemingly simple decision can be fraught with unintended consequences across different groups of people. Just allowing or banning a pesticide could have impact on human health, insect population, birds, pollinators, the livelihood of farmers, and rural economies. Politics is the system we have invented to deal with this complexity, and we should accept that people will have conflicting views in the same way as any other issue.

I think people have tried to artificially de-politicize the environment into something technocratic. But there is no scientific formula that can justify destroying a coal miners livelihood in favor of renewables. That is justified because fighting climate change and air pollution is the right thing to do. That is a moral and a political choice.
