Without the traditional distribution workflow […]
You are aware that the xz exploit made it into Debian Testing and Fedora 40 despite the traditional distribution workflows? Distro maintainers are not a silver bullet when it comes to security. They have to watch hundreds to thousands of packages so having them do security checks for each package is simply not feasible.
I wonder if that means it could be combined with DXVK to enable support on older DirectX versions as well. ^^
I wish something like .config would be a thing for storing configuration files in repositories. Instead we have a .vscode, .github, .gitlab, .idea, .vs, etc
The easiest way to block an auto-upgrade to Win11 is to just disable TPM in the BIOS. That way Windows will see the PC as not Win11 compatible and not perform the upgrade.
Looks interesting, I’ll check it out, thanks :D
YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from
into
I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)
The linked message is from 2019, i.e. per-M1 Apple laptops and at a time when arm in datacenter was just starting out.
Tbh, I feel like it’s kinda pointless to discuss a comment made by someone over 4-years ago. Both the environment and the person itself can change a lot in that time.
I feel that at the very least, the customer in that case should be entitled to a complete refund of the product, regardless of whether they bought it 5 days or 5 years ago and regardless of the condition their device is in.
This should at least give some incentive to companies to not perform such sweeping changes to their terms of service and if they do, the customer can more easily remove themselves from the lock-in without taking a financial hit.
Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.
Very good points tbh. My main thought with why I suggested lemmyrs.org is cause it would be an entire instance around Rust, not just a single community on an instance. That being said, there is already an official discourse for Rust so maybe just having a single community on lemmy as opposed to an entire instance is enough in that case ^^
As outline in the blog post, https://lemmyrs.org/ would lend itself best to avoid the case of one big instance de-federating from another.
Discoverability can be an issue with smaller instances but I’d argue that can be bypassed by simply linking to it from official resources that previously linked to reddit. Same with linking to that instance from Reddit.
One thing of importance IMO is that should lemmyrs.org be selected as the reddit replacement, there needs to be communication and more importantly help for that instance admin, so that they don’t have to carry the weight of supporting one of rust-lang’s communication channels.
Works for Firefox on Android. On iOS you can set Firefox Focus your “Content Blocker” which essentially is also just a weaker form of ad blocking.
yeah, tunneling into your local network and then calling WoL from there is the way to go.
Also why having doc comments and docs generated from code are super useful. When someone changes the code but not the comment above, it becomes really obvious that something was missed as opposed to having code and doc changes be two separate tasks.
ngl, I’m annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn’t want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.
This. And even then there should be procedures in place to essentially make it impossible to send the wrong inputs.
It’s like when an intern accidentally drops the production database. It’s not the interns fault for sending the wrong command. It’s the managements fault for not restricting access in the first place.
Not selfhosted but I think Pocket also falls into that category of service.
Also, you can just download an older version of the toolchain and use that to compile the project. If the project is properly setup it’ll tell you the toolchain version it used. If not you can probably guess by the time of the last commit ^^
Pretty sure it’s targeted primarily at a small group of enthusiasts so with a low production volume, the high price makes perfect sense. If that’s too much for you, just don’t buy it :P
Aren’t AppImages still limited to Xorg?
Also there’s no centralised update mechanism or dependency deduplication, no?
