I can’t seem to find it, but I think it was James Gosling, where he was blocked from reviewing code at Google because he hadn’t gone through the company’s approval process. I hope this wasn’t a myth I’ve been carrying on for this long.

Right, I did hear about that lawsuit way back when, I just didn’t know of these types of consequences. Very appreciated, especially the sources.

I really appreciate you linking studies about this topic, as finding this kind of research can be daunting. Those looks like really interesting reads.

Is this for hardware RAID controllers, or have you experience software RAID like LVM or ZFS exhibiting the same drop out behavior? I personally haven’t but it be nice to look out for future drives.

Regex is Turing Complete after all.

Does Backblaze work for what you are doing? It been a bit since I’ve price compared them, but I think it was something around 5$ a month per TB?

Those are distinct distros, while Bedrock is a layer that sits on top of multiple different distros and actively merges them together. At a glance, vanilla doesnt look like they merge/manage other distros at all? So I’m not sure the comparison makes sense. BlendOS is a completely different approach by using containers to isolate the different systems. Bedrock wants to merge the different systems where ever possible. I wouldn’t say either is better or worse as their goals appear to be entirely different.

Have you ever heard of Bedrock Linux? Its an extremely interesting “meta-distro” that let’s you run multiple different distros at the same time only marginally isolated. The whole premise is to merge the systems together instead of separating them with a container style workflow. Tons of stuff works cross distro to! Its extremely cool to have Debian AND Arch packages just installed the normal way on each distro. Its a beautiful and horrifying system, that warms my heart every time I remember it.

Oh so its just referring to writing the mod’s code in the same file the mod is declared in being bad form? That seems very reasonable; since the point of a module is code separation so it makes sense to always put it in its own file. Good, I’m already doing that at least!

I don’t understand how to follow this bullet point that I was replying to.

do not use mod unless it’s test for the current module. No I don’t want to Star Wars scroll your 1000 line file. Split it.

I already know what mod does in a basic sense, I wanted to know what the commenter meant by this.

I’m reasonably sure that AV1 has better or at least similar size ratios. They also explicitly mentioned wanting to use libre codecs, which h265 is not.

I don’t know enough Rust to understand by what you mean by the last one. My understanding was that mod name was just declaring the module that this file depends on. Could you explain what I should do instead? Since your other statements I totally agree with, I should probably agree with the last one.

I’ve used 4k and 1440p monitors, and my TV is 4k as well. For desktop use, 4k isn’t really a big difference because of the hardware needed to run it at a decent speed. However, once I got my hands on a 170hz 1440p monitor, I can’t go back to anything less. It’s extreme noticeable. The higher refresh rate, and the reasonable upgrade in pixel density makes text much clearer, especially in motion.

For content viewing though, 4k on a TV it depends on how much of your field of view is occupied by the TV. Most of time though, a high quality panel is worth much more than higher pixel density. There is a massive difference between a basic 4k big box store TV, and 4k LG oled. The color, even outside of HDR content is just so much better, and the true actual black color is fantastic. Resolution is nice, but honestly, oled color is so good.

The post you originally replied to was misunderstanding how the username is located when authenticating with a server.

Original post:

The public key contains a user name/email address string, I’m aware, is the same information also encoded into the private key as well?

Your reply would be creating more confusion, because you implied that no username is required.

Your reply:

That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required.

I am just clarifying if the original poster read your comment and was led to believe they wouldn’t need a username. It is, in fact, required. As you expressed, it’s usually “git” when connecting to a a git server, but it doesn’t have to be.

That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required.

A username is required to authenticate with an SSH server. A public key alone is not enough.

Would you consider a boycott a form of protest? There are many ways to show disapproval, and marching in the streets is only one of them.

What is the difference between “religious fairness testing” and protesting? Is a protest not just an active resistance to the current legal status quo? How is a lawsuit not a protest?

My experience around any opinion where there is a default option, the vast majority will accept the default without thinking. Then when presented with an alternative by someone who has actively chosen to not chose the default, people become highly defensive as if they did do their due diligence, whether or not they actually did. Depending on where you live, the defaults change, but being that humans are tribal, differences in lifestyle naturally create friction. In parts of America, you drive an SUV, use an iPhone, and eat meat. Whether or not they actively or passively chose that lifestyle, when someone doesn’t conform to what is expected there will be friction. How people react to that friction is up to them, but again, the default is to be critical of them and encourage conformity.

Yes there is precedent because in those cases you need a unique address historically. Evener commit within the project needs a unique hash for as long as the project exists. However, a unique address needs to be unique for the time it is being used.

George Washington needs to have his commit to the Linux kernel maintained, but we don’t need to keep his phone number locked away forever. He can’t use that phone number anymore, so someone else can have it. IPv6 is more than enough address space, so long as the dead don’t need to keep their 2 billion addresses for themselves.

IPv6 has a maximum number of addresses of 2^64, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616. Enough addresses that all 9 billion people on earth could each own 2 billion unique address. A theoretical IPv32 is wholly unnecessary for a very very long time.
