It's amusing to me that you're getting crushed on here for blocking/ "defederating" known IPs that you don't want traffic from, but I would bet that these same people would champio…

He came slinking back just like they all did. Removed the mastodon link from his profile so they would unban his account.

Rust is by far the more mature option if you're really trying to replace C++. Zig is personally interesting to me though. But if you need to write actual production critical code t…

It's going to be an uphill battle just to get people to even understand what the problems are. And this is even a technical forum. Now imagine trying to explain these nuances to a …

China has outright banned it at various times. USA has taken legal stances against things like tornado cash, but never anything close to the broad strokes of banning that the Chine…

Their nanny state is leaking.

Yeah they have Amazon Linux which is their own fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
