The vast majority of intelligence assets are analysts or sigint, not James Bond-ish operators who can discard identities and their family/friend/etc like a Scooby Doo mask. This is…

This _is_ Silverblue and other ostree-based repos. This article is focused on containers because when the root OS is immutable, then mutable developer workflows/etc necessarily hap…

There is a stark difference between a sovereign power gagging or stifling perceived dissidents and other citizens (whether they are elected officials or not) deciding you're an une…

And the advantage of doing this over letting application authors maintain their own packages and deptrees with flatpaks/appimage/whatever is...? They could be based on top of Nix. …

The goal of systemd as an *init system* is not the same thing as the goal of some of the systemd umbrella projects, and they shouldn't be conflated. systemd as an init system is le…

> Snaps/Flatpacks/other binary-containerised stuff is one of the major reasons why I abandoned Linux distributions after 22-odd years (1999-2022), and am now a happy Apple user (th…

Yes, because either you, the user, must track down .NET Framework X.Y (less of a problem now that they're stabilized) or because the application packs all of it dependencies and sh…

It's just as likely that it's "TODO: add handling for this case which is out of scope during design and which no user is likely to ever request, because the developer argued that i…

Virtualize it and pass through USB devices to the VM for the microscope camera/etc.

Silverblue is intended for the opposite of that. It is single system image mostly immutable root OS. The goal is to *not* tinker with the core OS, and do your tinkering in containe…

Count backwards. Sixty-one years left on a 75 year lease. It was in the middle of the 2008-2010 crash, and the city was facing massive budget shortfalls. They also leased Midway: h…

A article from the relatively neutral Times of London which suggests a deeper investigation into whether the treatment of patients may be biased due to financials is neither anti-t…

This falsehood needs to die. It's true for non-trivial cases, and exceptionally false for some things. Like databases. A lot of the sysctl tuning for large database environments ha…

Why is your project changing the license, and why do you assume that contributors would still have done so under whatever license you're changing to?

Because sometimes you have multiple, discrete applications which should be isolated, but need high performance (40gbe, optane, huge amount of CPU concurrency, whatever) and don't w…

How do you feel about "bad faith"?

This isn't a "JS" problem. A consistent story/UX around common tasks isn't "bloatware". Queuing jobs on the backend, managing CRUD-ish stuff like native objects, multi-part file up…

`containerd` invokes `runc` (and `docker` can also invoke `containerd` via its API, which then invokes `runc`). The "lower level container runtime" is cgroups and various kernel na…

GWB rebranded it as Climate Change, not anybody else. Solar forcing is completely accounted for in the models, in all areas (albedo, bouncing in the galactic plane, distance from t…

This is pretty ridiculous. The "so-called 'experts'" are... journalists? Zero of these are studies. Zero. None. Nada. There's the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/…

I understand that, but adult ADHD and childhood ADHD are very different. The energy level in childhood, brain development, behavioral expectations in school, and everything else is…

> My personal opinion is they have untreated PTSD following a violent animal attack in early 2020 that caused life-long damage to their dominant hand. This in turn led to them suff…

This honestly isn't that surprising. It's not incompatible per-se. Linux has plenty of ABI-incompatible kernels (-rt, -ck, -pf), plus the assortment of forked kernels which never h…

The UNIXes of the 80s/90s had far less in common than this. They had a shared root, but diverged very far in terms of userspace and kernel.

We know the answer to this, and it was... the Egyptians. The mistake the earlier Egyptologists made is exactly the same one you're making here, which is that history is some kind o…
