Huge Alpine fanboy myself. I love that a clean install has less than ten processes and I know what they all do. The community is also very good at building packages that "just work" - the article points out ZFS, but also docker, podman, libvirt are trivially installable.

> Perhaps the package I was most surprised about was zfs. ... What that would look like after an upgrade I’d have to see, but thus far I’m impressed.

I can confirm it works smoothly. I've observed that the ZFS package is updated whenever the kernel is updated.
> I don't see a technical reason why it couldn't have a minimal PID1, and a few setuid programs.

More detailed: Systemd conflates the init system (PID1) and service supervisor. And as a service supervisor, it isn't really that reliable.

Yeah, unfortunately passkeys are confusing and the UX is generally fucking awful. I hesitate to just blame the tech companies for being greedy, as a result of my experience with passkeys I'm starting to wonder if maybe they've legitimately just lost the skills and knowledge necessary to actually make usable software.

What's most disappointing is, password managers have already solved the problem of syncing credentials securely between multiple devices across different form factors and ecosystems, and they're perfectly usable for providing software passkey support. So of course.. there's no standard API for them to implement it. Instead, vendors are patching the WebAuthn APIs using WebExtensions.

This is sabotage.
Well, "extreme UV" these days. 13.5nm, larger than the "feature size". And even that required heroic effort in development of light sources and optics.
If your Photoshop considers itself unauthorized, it hasn't been pirated properly.

Maybe the version you are using was incorrectly cracked from the beginning (or not cracked at all?), or you caused a malfunction by not following installation instructions properly or by damaging the installed software later (e.g. with updates).

In both cases, you should purge your Photoshop and start over with a good pirated download. Turning your back to Adobe and preferring less hostile software might be a better option in the long term.
Idk about 'perfect', it's still painful and you wish you were using Linux, but it makes it just about workable.

My main issue with multiple displays on Mac is that the dock sometimes suddenly switches display. Sometimes this doesn't happen for weeks, other times it happens multiple times a day. When this happens, it tends to move the dock from the internal display to the external display, and the existing window on the external display suddenly gets smaller. The only resolution I've found when this occurs is unplugging and re-plugging the external display.

There are literally at least 3 well designed and featureful alternatives to OpenRC which are not systemd: daemontools, runit, and s6-rc. There are also other lesser known options.

For a real world in-situ use of runit, see voidlinux. It could be handled better but at this present moment it is at least no more clunky than using OpenRC.
The google guidelines already prevent something like "hung process" because of the "unnecessary violence" rule.
Hi - toggling that setting requires a re-login to get Spaces to stop interfering with productive work. The windows still really want to jump to a specific display.

> couldn't even build them to meet the needs of the grid near unlimited money

France did, with very limited money.

> It would require more than halving the capital requirements to get close to break even with renweables

France - the cost of their nuclear build-out 50 years ago made nuclear about the same cost as solar/wind (7c/kWh)

> they cannot touch fossil plants

Of course fossil plants get shut down if there is political will. (Yes France has barely any anymore, and the same goes for a number of other countries)

> much lower capital requirements

If you don't count the grid enhancement and the batteries needed for Dunkelflaute.

> If two humans (who experience similar things) can communicate,
they'll figure out how to express themselves.

An important point of agreement. Human experience absolutely
transcends language (late Wittgenstein language games). Ninety
percent of interaction being non-verbal has been a pet issue of mine
throughout the post-pandemic descent into remote work, and a videoconf
culture.

> I don't think a Japanese human is so different from a (say) English
human.

Of course not. It's not the tangible differences that are of interest
so much as why geographically separated groupings that are ostensibly
the same beings, select and amplify certain features of human
experience, and downplay others. That cultural development is complex
and intricate. It encodes bits of history like old power relations,
common achivements or sufferings. That information gets handed down by
language as much as epigenetics.

The reason I am focusing a lot on language is that we're in an "age of
language models". The dominant ones are English. But English is a
particular way of structuring ideas about the world. This is
something we should be paying close attention to, and almost any time
people mention "AI" these days the topic is really about language.

BTW I am neither Japanese nor overly interested in their culture,
except in a mildly curious and positive geeky way. It's probably
coincidental that the last two topics I commented on here, which were
"disappeared", involved Japanese culture. Probably. I'm sorry if what
I said came across wrong, but it really gave me pause for thought
about latent racist undertones here on HN. Probably best to forget
about it now, but I'll be keeping an eye on that.

I've gotten CEC to work in Linux on my desktop computer. The funny thing is that most GPU HDMI ports don't implement CEC, but do implement CEC over DisplayPort. You simply need to find a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that supports CEC.
Just like the touchpad and mouse 'scroll direction' setting being tied together. It makes sense for Apple mice/external trackpad (which all have a touch surface), so sod the 100% of other far more prevalent mice that use a scroll wheel, for which 'natural scroll' is absurdly unnatural (but disable it, and lose it on the built-in trackpad too).

I don't have a solution for the windows/dock/menubar not behaving correctly (which is why I've only been using my MacBook 14inch screen after my monitor died a year ago).

But my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi/) does have some solutions for the other problems:

I have an iMac Pro. Even if I were willing to waste the built-in display, I cannot – Apple does not allow iMacs to disable their internal displays.

Lunar can use a hidden macOS API to really disable the internal screen on Apple Silicon: https://lunar.fyi/pro#blackout
It basically removes the screen from the Displays system settings and from the screen arrangement completely, and turns off its backlight.

On Intel it can simulate that by mirroring the screen and turning it black which does the job for most people.

It’s very distracting having a bright display right next to one on which you’re trying to play a game.

Again, Blackout can help here with a handy action called "Make other screens black (keep this one visible)" which can be activated by Option-Shift-Click on the power button or with the finger-wrangling hotkey Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-Shift-6 (it can be re-assigned, I ran out of non-conflicting hotkeys)

---

In the past, I spent a huge amount of time trying to fix the window problems using yabai rules (automating where windows should appear) and hotkeys for moving between displays. But it became a burden whenever I wanted to stray away from my pre-defined rules or when the cursor moved between displays erratically.

Nowadays I have:

• a single 14inch very bright and vivid display with a single Space/desktop

• all my apps covering the whole screen

• switching between apps with rcmd (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd)

• ..and sometimes moving windows in a left/right pair with Swish (https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/)

They keep advertising this thing on here, but they never explain what the big benefit is.

Everyone can already self-host Gitea or Gitlab, and Git repos are super easy to clone, so what’s the point of all the peer to peer stuff?

ie. what real world problem is it supposed to solve?
Agreed. In my case with a 15" MBP M1 Max and two LG UltraFine 5K's, which I always plug in the same ports, 99% of the time it remembers which display is which correctly. On my 2018 Intel, this was hit and miss. It's obviously not a trivial problem to solve...
This is exactly what the opponents of CoC-culture warned about: it's a clever rhetorical smokescreen to allow leftist freaks to do power grabs like this. Words like "harm", "inclusive", "community" etc have dual-meanings, one for the clique insiders and another for the outsiders.

Pro photographer here. Try the open-source program darktable. It's a bit different than Lightroom but it can do almost everything Lightroom can do, at least in terms of Raw editing. I use it for all my work. A commercial alternative is DxO Photolab and it's a one-time purchase.

In the past few years, the market has exploded with some very competent alternatives to Adobe. Try them.

Also, Photoshop isn't ideal for photography now that Raw editors are so sophisticated, except when you need extensive retouching. Very few photographers these days use Photoshop.

Not sure if it’s a bug with your specific setup, but scrolling vertically in a straight line from the centre of the screen all the way to the bottom will make the dock switch to that monitor.
See the table of supported hardware. Software/firmware wise I think no reason to think it's unstable in mainline Linux. Just as long as they have actually implemented everything you need.

(Mine's an M3, so complete non-starter for now. Others have missing support for various things like HDMI or fingerprint reader, etc., so just a case of whether there's enough there for you to consider it 'usable' for your own use.)

Actually, comparing the price to the quality/functionality, MFJ stuff is usually priced at a premium versus the kit or one-man-shop devices that they copied. Pricing also seldom changed in response to lower demand (thinking of the venerable MFJ-1270 TNC as interest in packet radio fell off in the late '90s and early '00s). Then there is the case where MFJ bought the rights to Coastal Chip works TNC-X and TNC-Pi and the prices went up significantly. MFJ has been a one-stop-shop for a lot of ham radio gadgets and accessories but were seldom the best value on the market as the pricing reflected their "No Matter What" warranty.

Other than an older Ameritron amplifier, which may predate the MFJ acquisition, I see nothing with the MFJ logo looking around my "shack". I moved on from MFJ many years ago and sought better alternatives. Some years ago I bought a Rig Expert AA230-ZOOM analyzer that is far more capable, stable, and compact than any of the MFJ analyzers I had used prior. I also have a NanoVNA that I use for 70cm that is beyond the range of the AA230-ZOOM. Other items in the shack are better built and better performing than their MFJ counterparts such as a West Mountain Radio DC power strip and Palstar and LDG tuners.

I am concerned about the fate of Ameritron and Hy-Gain. These two product lines have a strong history that pre-dates their acquisition by MFJ and it would be a shame to see them disappear from the ham radio marketplace.

What classic errors?
4 was, TBH, appalling for its time.

It took more base memory than ever. It had a complicated code page system that most people didn't want, and a clunky early version of IBM DOSShell that was scorned although it grew into something useful.

But it supported disk partitions over 32MB, and for that reason, it was reluctantly adopted. If you had a 286 or 386, then there were measures that you could take with a memory manager to make it not so bad, but on 8088/8086 class hardware, it didn't leave enough free memory for many big apps to run.

Don't use outdated/old Linux Distros. I almost always find out someone is using a variant of Conical's Ubuntu CD marketing and it explains why they have some terrible experience.

Updated distros usually have everything working with modern hardware working together with software. Look into Fedora.

A digital audio file is not even close to being proof of anything. Even without voice cloning you can easily edit, clip and compose audio into almost anything you want. It’s also not difficult to simply impersonate someone else’s manner of speaking with practice something that is commonly done by both amateurs and professional actors. The only thing that changes is the ease with which this can be done which should help everyone understand how unreliable such “proof” is.
It's always good to see such statements with a poisoned well from the start. I have no investment in any of this, but this looks really like the authors of this are the root issue here.

And I also agree with - what they call - the opponent, that politics should not be forced upon an open-source project. Proclaiming these are fascists, identitarians or otherwise using the Nazi stamp doesn't really help the author's position either.

This is strange. I could find no information on that page. Searching online I found a few light articles about it, some of which pointed to two YouTube videos put out by the company. However, both videos have been removed (by the uploader).
As others have pointed out, the location of the IP address does not necessarily correspond with the location of the attackers.

Specifically, in Germany, the central-ish culster of dots is in the Frankfurt area, which is also the location of DE-CIX, one of the world's largest internet exchange points, and of roughtly 1/3 of all datacenters in Germany.

So I think rather than comparing the IP locations with population density, it would be even more interesting to compare them with the location of internet infrastructure. This is of course correlated, and probably harder to find as an open dataset.

We had man-portable ATGMs for decades, they didn't "lower the value of a tank".

Less than 10% is not good when you consider how much does it cost in practice. Drone teams are often 2 pilots + technician + explosives technician (an incredibly risky job btw, those bastardised RPG warheads are live and sensitive) + infantry cover. At least double that if you want to strike beyond line of sight and need a retransmitter drone. Those teams can only move at night and on foot because they are actively hunted by the other side. They can only have one or two drones simultaneously in the air at best, and the drones need to get to their targets first without giving away the launch point. All of that for less than 10% success rate is not "incredibly effective".

Now compare to fire-and-forget Javelins that are way more lethal and are just something added to a normal infantry platoon.

Interesting - in our country we have street-level stormwater channels which are separate from sewers, and drain straight to streams, rivers and ultimately the ocean. Is that sort of infrastructure not present in Belgium? I can imagine retrofitting that kind of thing into older urban streets may be tricky, but seems like a wise investment.
On the same note, its hilarious that right now twitter of all the websites on earth has the best fake news detection mechanism in community notes but it's also the single website everyone wants down.

According to their documentation "nodes can run on a personal computer without requiring a server". That sounds better than self-hosting to me, which requires the installation of various components like Apache, SQL, PHP, etc. Seems more like bittorrent for code, which sounds like it could actually be useful.

Ideally, we would have a solution to collaborate on projects peer-to-peer that handles some basic Github-style stuff without having to use Github at all.
