I like to thing of GNU/Linux as Linux with glibc. There’s software that only runs with glibc (eg: steam), and software that runs with various libc (eg: Firefox).

I’m not sure that it’s a widely accepted definition, but it’s often useful to describe what a software depends on. Does it require _just_ Linux, or does it also require glibc?
If you have Costco membership I highly suggest switching to them for all of your insurance needs, IF they have that service available in your area.

I’m in the Midwest and I pull quotes every 3 years, and Costco has always been a few hundred cheaper than the other cats with the same or better coverage.

Banking should be a credit union unless you require some weird need from USAA.

To be honest, I never bought into the USAA hype, their marketing is strong but their “benefits” aren’t anything more than what’s found at competing banks. Credit unions provide better services and benefits to their customers anyhow.
Wow! So with this new unity pricing, even if you delete the game the developer can get charged
> The fact that they've thrown all that responsibility on DEs without so much as a HOWTO on how to reach parity is ridiculous.

Well, all DEs (excepting maybe Xfce?) have members in the work groups that design the wayland protocol extensions, so it can be assumed that people are well aware of what needs to be done.

Wayland has a default implementation called Weston, but I'm not sure that any of its devs cared enough to implement the extensions which are responsible for all the other bits that you mentioned.

I believe the technical term for this when money changes hand is "kickback payment". This may be illegal and/or against organization policies, but difficult to monitor without self-reporting

This is Hacker News, where people who know nothing about a topic come to tell each other about their expertise. You believe no-one would make this type of mistake, I know they did and I have just provided you a link to the paper at the time. Alas some people will believe you, and they will assume that they too are infallible and the rest is inevitable.

> You can legally hack and wiretap your own phone, and build tools to do that. It's also legal to sell those tools.

Just because you have a right to do something to your own device doesn't mean you have a right to sell it. It is not a huge stretch of the imagination to see 0-days being classified as munitions and encumbered by ITAR. I've seen open source drone guidance software taken down for similar reservations, and that was far from a weaponized instance.

Unions don’t exist so that people you consider unskilled will get raises. Unions exist so that people who sell their labor can cooperate to influence the conditions they work in.

If you consider nothing more important than your own individual compensation, and have absolute faith in your own irreplaceable genius, it’s easy to make a case against unions — sort of like “there is no prisoner’s dilemma, why would I ever cooperate?”
A nice surprise. Thanks for the links!
They're also a gamedev. In the beginning, their assets were leftover/reutilized from their games to help other gamedevs with placeholder assets. Now, that's kinda more of their thing, with them developing entire asset packs for aspiring gamedevs.

Could you try picosnitch? (disclaimer, I'm the author of it)

It should be able to get the executable (and the hash of it) or at least give you a little more information.

Of those I only see 151.101.193.91 which was used for nominatim.gnome.org and dl.flathub.org, with the executables /usr/libexec/gsd-datetime, /usr/bin/io.elementary.appcenter, and /usr/bin/flatpak.

With nethogs running for a few minutes I saw:

? root 192.168.2.10:42650-13.225.195.73:80

which I was able to see in picosnitch as /usr/sbin/NetworkManager connecting to 204.pop-os.org.

If there really was a boot or rootkit, you probably wouldn't see any trace of it at all in picosnitch, opensnitch, or nethogs, since it could be hiding at a lower level than whatever anything running on your system can detect, and would therefore need an external firewall.
If you go back and look this report was specifically intended to be about determining methods for identifying and cataloging UAP. It is a widespread misunderstanding that it was intended to be a report about UAP. This is incorrect.
I don’t see how it’s anticompetitive: any startup trying to get into the space is going to be making the case for product-market fit in terms of things like subscriptions and selling access to developers. I’d think a one-time per customer console sale at a loss would be one of the easier expenditures to justify to investors.

PostgreSQL is also one of the most impressive projects out there in terms of being community maintained, as opposed to many large FOSS projects which have some kind of corporate backing employing the majority of the core team.
I like the loading attribute, but it hasn't been supported in Safari until very recently, so the solution has had to be a bespoke server + javascript solution to please Google. Still think a better solution is for the browser to optimize what is "below the fold" and make the decision based on user preference (I want to load the whole page). And most importantly, Google shouldn't weigh in on how to implement pages.

Understanding WASM, Part 3: You Are Here
Mastodon has such a different system architecture—at a business level—that I think many of the scaling challenges are entirely different. While my experience with Mastodon is as a (very satisfied) user, in general scaling challenges are as much figuring out how to scale the interactions between systems as they are scaling the individual systems themselves. That gets incredibly more difficult when those individual systems are spread out among various organizations with different priorities, philosophies, technical abilities, and resources.
“In the MDMA-AT group, 49 of 52 (94.2%) participants were certain or thought that they received MDMA; one of 52 (1.9%) participants inaccurately thought that they received placebo; and two of 52 (3.8%) participants could not tell (Supplementary Table 6).” No long-term follow up, which hopefully they will do and publish, also makes this very much an exploratory intervention.

If that was what advertisement was all about, maybe we wouldn't care so much.

But in the majority of cases those advertisements are lies. Fake photos, fake reviews, fake claims, fake everything. I can't justify accepting all that lying just to "get your word out". That's not what's being done.

Paid placements are already ubiquitous.

The restaurant example is all about the small company, which already gets screwed with current marketing landscape. They put tons of money into a black box with Google/Meta Ads hoping it'll work. They say X amount of people saw your ad, most of the times you can't track any real effect from these ads, and you have to accept it. The recent issues with YouTube counting ads incorrectly is most certainly not a unique incident and we have no clue what's actually happening.

Maybe if all we had were these small local businesses advertising it could actually be useful. After all, those are not the ones collecting copious amounts of data violating everyone's privacy for the sole purpose of selling ads.

Perhaps a version of opt-in ads or trustworthy places where you can get real recommendations are the way to go. But because of ads and SEO now this was also destroyed. I find it infuriating that when you do want to buy something, you have to sift through so many garbage lists created for the sole purpose of showing ads and referrals. Ultimately you can only really trust a few experts sources for basically anything. The normal folks who fall for the "top X" list websites or the ads get screwed the same way because those are just another form of false advertisement.

I don't know if there's a perfect solution here, but it damn well isn't the one we've got.

That's always how imports work, you can buy basically anything that's illegal to be sold but not illegal to use in your area by importing it from somewhere else. It's where people are getting flavored tobacco.

The logical conclusion that "for the protection of local business we have to allow everything" is a bit absurd. You can still buy it but you can't buy it here is a pretty normal compromise, would you rather it be enforced and you be charged with possession of a Huawei?

I don't know, and that's why I want a WAF without a CDN. I don't need a CDN at all, and I wish I could disable Cloudflare's.

But per RFC 9110 [^0], "the Date header field represents the date and time at which the message was originated." The message comes from my server, not Cloudflare. If they're getting the message from me, i.e. it's not cached by their CDN, they should leave the Date header alone because the message didn't originate with them. [^1]

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of where Cloudflare sits as the "origin server" when their CDN isn't used for caching (i.e. it's bypassed as much as is allowable). I would think my server is the "origin" and theirs is the "edge."

And unfortunately, workers do not allow you to set the Date header -- Cloudflare support and I already tried that a couple years back (i.e. setting Date = Keygen-Date via a worker).

I will take a look at 2. I doubt that'd work, but it's worth a try.

To be fair, with all the money the government wastes this taxpayer would be quite happy to have more resources devoted to this mixed probability/extremely high impact issue.
Hessdalen lights yes but they, like UAPs, have flaps. Now they are very rare so it's hard to study when they are seen so rarely but there has been a team doing it for many decades now.

Ball lightning is also very rare. So I think the commenter was talking about everyday things that happen with fair regularity, but not to put words in their mouth.

Edit: However, I will say that "explained" in the commenters case does not necessarily mean "explained correctly." Mick West with his Seagull theory for example -- he had the singular video and "explained" the video with an example that fits into our worldview, while the military still has the RADAR, multiple sources of video, and unedited (downconverted) HQ footage and sensor data which would likely monkey wrench his seagull theory very badly.
They are obviously talking about vfx studios that do work for hire instead of animation studios that make money off of their own movie releases. Vfx studios do not make money based on how successful a movie is.
Yes.

I expect that the comment above describing jobs in finance as a "waste of life", with no other content is also unacceptable.

And once it evaporates, it will move east with the air, over the mountains, and into a different watershed.

Exactly, and I think it’s a very good use of public funds.
Machine time was a metric that never made any sense to me. I should’ve lead off with machine time excluded that millions a day statement seems hyper inflated.
I ran into a similar situation a while back now,

I have my version of a zettelkasten system, where I put a tag/ list of tags at the top of the note file (timestamp being the note name). Combining this with something like ripgrep allows me to search the note file contents by those tags, and keywords.

A tag I used, didn't seem like the right one for the content as it matured and grew over time.

This meant creating a tiny script which would take the name of the tag and the note name, in which it is being used and look at backlinks and forward links and rename the tag based on usage.
Why must the government pass laws to protect the specific business model of exactly 3 mega corporations, a business model which harms consumers and harms competition?

The DMCA exception for consoles is the same thing. The government is just taking these companies word for it, and harming everyone else. If Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo can’t survive without these handouts from the government, then why should they? It’s not like game consoles are a necessity. The free market is what should decide whether a business model succeeds or not.

And regarding privacy, that’s bs. If consoles somehow become overrun with piracy, then publishers can just move their games to other platforms. PC is much easier to pirate on, is in general used by more tech savvy people, and it doesn’t have a rampant piracy problem. Steam wouldn’t be as successful as it is otherwise.

Reddit basically stole all of traditional forums' thunder and removed their weaknesses as the same time. Setting up, maintaining and moderating a forum takes time and money.

Tails has the entire OS as Tor connections only, an escape from the Tor browser would still be stuck in a Tor only OS.

For any kind of high-level code, "platform" is something like win32 or Android or Qt. The underlying hardware architecture is the compiler/interpreter's problem.

The people dealing with assembly know who they are, but much of that is the sort of work that cares a lot about shaving off a few cents worth of license fee for an embedded device.
You are aware that Linux is in fact supported by commercial enterprises of various sizes all up and down the value chain, right?

And yeah, it’s great that we happened upon a quasi-religious movement in software that has managed to align itself with commercial interests. OSS, in my opinion, will go down as one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

Want to know why it’s such an achievement? Because it was profoundly unlikely and continues to be difficult in all sorts of ways.

Question: What’s your job and your approximate hourly rate? Is it something that requires years or decades of training and do you charge $0?
I understand that was the initial question. I am saying that is a fools errand. Anyone with a few VPSes, a calculator, and a map can do this. It isn't just ipinfo.io doing this. There are a lot of ip geolocation services.
The only lesson to learn from this is that given exceptional resources and a long list of talent any stack can be made to scale.

> And CLion does not do enough because I also write TypeScript, PHP, shell scripts, and even C sometimes. CLion is good for C, but now, I don't know if RustRover will cover C.

CLion is the wrong product if you want to work in multiple languages. JetBrains has different IDEs for different purposes. You would want IntelliJ Ultimate and to use plugins for TypeScript, PHP, and even Rust with the plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/22407-rust

If you only wanted to work in a single language you can get that specific IDE.

You can also buy the all products pack to get everything they offer, which is a great deal.

The approach I've been favouring for a while has been to have a data store, I call it the "stacks", based off physical library nomenclature, and then a virtual filesystem which effectively uses searches along various attributes to surface individual items.

Those searches might be based on title, author/creator/contributor, publication/creation dates, assigned identifiers, full-text search, relations between documents, subjects or topics, document type / format, or other aspects.

How that is specified precisely ... I haven't settled on entirely, though short mnemonics, two- or three-letter where possible (ti -> title, au -> author, date, isbn, oclc, doi, etc.) might work.

If the filesystem lives under /docfs, then, say, /docfs/au:barrie/ti:peter+pan would turn up J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. Specific document identifiers such as ISBNs, OCLCs, DOIs, or LCCSs could pinpoint specific documents, looser searches such as for Peter Pan might generate a list rather than a unitary response but those individual documents would be further distinguished by other properties.

The filesystem would be virtual rather than static-on-disk. You're effectively exploring the namespace. Creating this as a filesystem rather than, say, as a database query or application-specific data store means that standard filesystem tools would be available to interact with the contents, though modifications of works might require some additional work.

The system could also provide access to works not directly in the stacks, including remote resources (e.g., accessed via URIs and network calls), or applications (through some API). The underlying data store could be in any of several formats, and again the filesystem-based access could abstract between several independent stores.

Now all I need to do is build it ...
Not really 0, since any exe file will have some minimum length, and that's defined to be part of the calculation.

Conceptually you could cram it into some dozens of bytes (trivial initial state of the universe + basic physics + iteration). In practice, of course, that's ridiculous.

Restaurant Surcharges Banned in California
On Graphene, if you deny network access to the sandboxed Play Services, it cannot transmit data to Google. But does Play Services cache all that privacy-invasive data, so that if you switch on network access at some point in the future, Play Services will upload it as soon as it gets a chance? If so, seems like a failure of GrapheneOS's model.
It would have to be pretty good at avoiding the usual privacy problems on the modern internet, right?
