Dear hacker,

How did you get my camera to work on NetBSD? I’ll send whatever shitcoin you want.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding its license.

The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

Parallel Desktop

There are several FOSS alternatives. All of them are more popular that Parallels.

Nobody likes Adobe, nobody wants to work with Adobe. Nobody can avoid Photoshop. That’s just the world we live in and I don’t like it.

This sounds like Stockholm syndrome. You are just too familiar with Photoshop, so using anything else is hard and less efficient.

In photography there is this mantra about “the most important part is right behind the camera”. A good photographer is not a good Nikon user, or good Canon user. A good photographer can deliver decent pictures with a potato camera if needed.

Sure, a potato camera is less efficient for any work that an actual good one. So it’s good to invest in a good brand. But the point is: if you are not capable to make average results with a potato software, the problem is not in the software.

Not true.

The immutability of the thing is just Merkle trees. And integrity of the writings is any form of authorized blocks. From a certificate from an authority a la PKI to proof of work. And anything in between.

The thing is that there are not too many applications for slow distributed inmutable databases.

DNS is the only thing that I know that is globally distributed, with slow updates of domains being acceptable.

omg they were roommates!

You missed the part of they just hating money.

A slow but decentralized and immutable database can have it’s applications. You can have a semi-decentralized one if it’s needed, doing stuff like PKI. I wish DNS were like that.

But the popular use is currencies. And scams. And people here seems to hate money, even more than actual scams.

Why not both?

They apparently bribed some of the ActivityPub protocol developers and fediadmins into signing NDAs contracts with Meta.

Now FediDB is showing Meta as “just another fediverse” instance. Pixelfed is very happy to work shoulder to shoulder with Meta devs.

You are not gonna block the most popular man in the Fediverse, are you?

Of course it’s a lemmy.ml user.

If you’re concerned about security, consider GPG signing your kernel with Libreboot GRUB for an additional layer of verification at boot.

Hey! I had no idea that was possible. I usually encrypt everything but /boot, because it’s easy that way.

I don’t have a “threat model” of someone puting malware in /boot while I’m away of the computer. But it would be nice to know how to prevent that.

Do you have a link of a guide or tutorial for that?

Hey, ChatGPT, my uncle says new Macbooks are just glorified Raspberry Pis.

How many MB/s are in a Raspberry Pi?

It’s in the archwiki 😤😤😤
