Most people who build software from source do it for reasons other than trust. Could be for fun (I imagine the main reason why people do Linux From Scratch), could be for the same reason that compels some people to use Gentoo lol. OP didn’t say what their motivation was.
edit: nvm, in other comments OP has said they’re concerned about an xz style of backdoor. In any case, I would still be interested to read about someone trying what OP is suggesting.
Omg I never knew about ctrl+L. Life saver. I have no idea why Linux file pickers/file browsers don’t seem to have an editable (and copy-pasteable) path field.
Not anything concrete. Windows is kind of nostalgic for me as I only used it as a young child. But there’s not a specific “I wish X was on Linux”.
Do you live in a city? If you do, there is something of the sort in most cities; you just need to know the right people or look in the right places.
If not, yeah, rough, you could try travelling in to a city though.
Before anyone says anything, no my city is not huge, no I am not in the US. The political left is active pretty much everywhere on earth, sometimes more or less underground depending on the conditions, but they’ll have some sort of spaces for themselves.
I use Notesnook and I’m happy with it. They have a flagship instance with free accounts if you don’t want to self-host.
If you want something more lightweight and are up for using syncthing, just a bunch of markdown files synced with syncthing also works. You can encrypt them with your pgp key if you want encryption, but that doesn’t encrypt metadata like file names, directory structure, or when files were last edited.
If you just want to browse, use a redlib instance.
Except you can already download and run models on your local machine for free with ollama. Price raising might at least calm the AI craze with the normies though. Probably not with developers who know how to run LLMs locally.
I’ve found scans of books I’ve done myself on their search :)
My favourite unusual one is sichuan pepper powder on garlic bread. Originated in me rummaging through my spices for stuff to add to my garlic bread and I really liked this. I now add it to garlic bread, pizzas, that sort of thing.
Cumin is also a great all purpose spice I put on many things. Cumin+turmeric for curry-flavoured things, but also cumin+salt+pepper+rosemary+garlic granules for anything roasted.
That’s concerning. If it was “I generated a function with an LLM and reviewed it myself” I’d be much less concerned, but 14k added lines and 10k removed lines is crazy. We already know that LLMs don’t generate up to scratch code quality…
I won’t use PostgreSQL with ntfy, and keep an eye on it to see if they continue down this path for other parts of ntfy. If so I’ll have to switch to another UP provider.
In my own experience, runit is much faster to boot than systemd. Perhaps your experiences differ but I know a lot of people say the same.
I agree start-up time is not a big deal. I just mentioned it as it’s the only real performance difference I’ve noticed between OSes.
I don’t think Arch is the distro I would go for if I just wanted speed. I suppose it depends on speed of what—generally systemd Linux will boot noticeably faster than Windows, and non-systemd Linux boots noticeably faster than systemd Linux—but once you’re booted up, I don’t think there’s a significant performance difference. Arch is a Linux distro that uses systemd so it’d be the middle option if you’re wanting fast boots. There are other minimalist distros too, some of which end up in arguably faster systems, but Arch is probably the easiest of the minimalist distros due to being well-documented and supported. But the reason for going for a minimalist distro is usually customisability, not performance. On modern hardware the performance difference is negligible. On very old hardware, you should be looking for another distro made specifically for old hardware (I don’t think Arch even supports 32-bit).
This isn’t gen Z slang. It’s largely butchered AAVE (which is an entirely valid dialect with its own internally consistent grammar and vocabulary). Many such cases.
There are different server implementations. I run tuwunel and haven’t had problems. It seems about as performant on my VPS (8GB RAM, 4 CPUs at 2.4 GHz, hosting other services not just tuwunel) as matrix.org was when I used that.
It’s great to see a mainstream OEM work with GOS. I really hope Motorola will make phones with an actual headphone jack. That’s my no. 1 complaint about modern Pixel hardware.
I use tuwunel. I’m happy with it. See no reason to switch.
I don’t. I don’t care how much AI “evolves”. I don’t need it so I don’t use it.
Restaurants exist and some of them are quite good. But I still have a home cooked meal for every meal. The existence of restaurants doesn’t make home cooking obsolete.
It didn’t symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It’s not about different proletarian occupations; it’s about a class alliance between two working classes.
The peasantry doesn’t exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.
if you cannot even htop, then I doubt a daemon could do something.
The point is that a daemon can catch it before it reaches that point by killing processes that are using too much resources, before all the system resources are used up.
