Nitpick: SQLite is public domain[0], which is not open source[1]. [0] https://sqlite.org/purchase/license [1] https://opensource.org/node/878

Doesn't a "service" handle a domain?

Aren't you just describing traditional RPC calls? Many tools for this: DBus on Linux, Microsoft RCP on Windows, and more that I'm not aware of. If you've only got a basic IPC syste…

Ah, gotcha. There are hosted Nextcloud solutions out there if you can't run your own instance. I've never used them and can't speak to how non-technical the overall process is (I'd…

Civil disobedience isn't about avoiding the consequences of that disobedience; it's about doing the right thing even though it's illegal and requires punishment. If your concept of…

If ES is the sole copyright holder, they can license it to whomever they wish under whatever license they wish. IANAL, but it seems perfectly coherent to me that they can say "If y…

What do you need in a calendar service that you can't find elsewhere? I use the Calendar app with NextCloud[0] for a CalDAV server + calendar web interface. It's fully-featured as …

IIRC, The GPL incompatibility prohibits distribution of linked binaries. Since the CDDL-licensed ZFS kernel modules have to be linked against the kernel, those compiled modules can…

Graphiti always seemed like a cool project in this vein. https://www.graphiti.dev/guides/

You don't send the whole pool--you send the datasets (ZFS filesystems) that you're concerned with.

What net benefits would you see that having? If I'm allowed to assume that you wouldn't use TLS because of PKI management concerns, I have a hard time seeing how using WireGuard in…

> tank mass scales with a lower exponent than tank volume I'm confused here. How are they not both cubic?

So aside from the additional cost, is there any catch in using it instead of palm oil or tallow, provided you balance it out with a moisturizer like olive oil?

Because you can reproduce that binary bit-for-bit to confirm its corresponding source code. That's the point of a reproducible build. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_bui…

As greysonp points out, yes; Signal has had reproducible builds since March 2016. So we can prove that those published binaries do not have backdoors insofar as we can prove that t…

In what sense would it be a gateway? Because of the possibility of data exfiltration?

I'm running Fedora 31 on my C710 too as my daily driver. It's a surprisingly good experience! You've definitely got to manage your CPU expectations.

Just for example, Facebook tracks you even if you don't have a Facebook account.[0] More generally, I think we need to approach discussions about data collection from the perspecti…
