I agree. There is literally 0 reason to buy anything from Apple when there are much better and much cheaper options that are already well supported by GNU/Linux. I will never understand people who will go out of their way to waste money on the next big thing from Apple only to get Linux on it.

It doesn’t help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It’s like they can’t make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the “new way” is for whatever reason vastly different.

On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.

It’s not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It’s really up to you and your needs.

Gallium-Nine also tends to be buggy if used with 32-bit software in particular. All the 32-bit games I’ve tried have problems with it. They usually work fine for the first 30-60 minutes and after that the framerate becomes unstable to the point where the game becomes unplayable. It happens consistently with Gallium-nine but not at all with DXVK.

Debian is still the better distro overall compared to Ubuntu imo. and it’s much more lightweight too. Canonical has become more and more like Microsoft in recent years.

Firefox does sandbox everything but vulnerabilities exist and sometimes go unnoticed for a while before they’re discovered and patched. If a malicious script does manage to escape the sandbox it will be able to do literally anything to the system since it has root privileges. It would have full access to any device that’s in /dev, it could create, modify and delete udev or iptables rules, it could mess with the BIOS since the kernel exposes EFI variables, if the mainboard has re-writable flash chips for the firmware it could write malicious code to them since they may show up in /dev, etc. If any of this makes you uneasy then you probably should stop running stuff as root in general except for when you really need to.

Also in general you don’t want to run any graphical applications on a Server unless there is a very specific reason for it because it takes up extra resources and therefore makes the machine use more power overall. This is especially bad when the machine in question has no hardware acceleration and renders everything in software. Remote desktop also adds CPU/GPU load and takes up a good bit of I/O and network bandwidth which is not ideal for a NAS server.

Happy new year!

May the US Empire decline and crumble more this year.

Anyone that thinks X11 is still superior probably runs on a laptop with a single screen.

It really does seem that way. I’ve dealt with many different multi-monitor setups on X11 and only ever had problems. For example, I have an AMD based setup with 3 monitors, 2 are average 1080p60 displays and the third has a higher refresh rate. On X11 this setup always has either screen tearing/flickering, unusually high CPU usage by the compositor or the refresh rate seems noticeably off and hot-plugging additional monitors makes things behave weird or even crash, especially when unplugging monitors. On setups with multiple monitors across multiple GPUs it’s the same but worse. On Wayland it all just works without any problems, no matter the setup. Hot-plugging monitors on Wayland is very seamless. Even X11 software runs better for me on Wayland.

I agree. The proxy solution they’re proposing seems like a band-aid on a fundamental design issue to me. It’s easier to just tack yet another library onto a big project than to refactor large amounts of code. This is exactly why a lot of software is getting more and more shit.

Why did this comment get downvoted? I thought games are supposed to be fun. Representation doesn’t make up for bad game design.

This video doesn’t prove that “encryption” is fast to crack, at all. The first part is literally just about trying millions of most commonly used passwords and the second “crack” relies on an insecure password. Also anyone who stores their most sensitive data in a ZIP file on Windows is doing it completely wrong. There are much better options than ZIP plus Microsoft likely already knows your password before you’re done encrypting your files because Windows probably key logged it.

First time seeing this, can you elaborate and post some sources?

Seems like a normal human to me 🤖

For real. If a game gets announced with a release date that is more than 6 months in the future chances are very high that by the time the game comes out I will no longer have an interest in playing it (unless it turns out to be really really good). I personally don’t care about any teasers/hints that marketing drops every now and then up until the release and I don’t follow any influencers/shills who make long essays about the latest teaser so most game releases just fly over my head at that point.

This applies to pretty much any human connection/relationship. It’s basically impossible to develop and maintain fulfilling, long lasting friendships with people under capitalism. I firmly believe that if hypothetically, socialism were to happen tomorrow, then in the following decades we would see hookup culture disappearing. No one actually wants quick and shallow relationships where no one really knows who can be trusted.
