Compared to Arch(-based): Accesing the latest packages. It’s not impossible, especially if you go for Debian testing repos, but it’s definitely extra work.

Compared to special-purpose distros (i.e. gaming, portable, high security/privacy, pen-testing): Whatever their special purpose is will usually be harder to achieve.

Compared to huge corpo distros (SUSE/Fedora and derivatives): Ease of more intricate setups and maybe some security testing.

Compared to Ubuntu: Paying a corporation to not withhold security patches from you.

How the hell is the monitor attached in no. 2

Sysadmin vs. Rust dev

You can stuff all the info into an object and use it this way, no problem. I just wanted to point out that this doesn’t have zero performance impact compared to what you currently have.

So (depending on how your OS caches files) you might not want to do this like twice in a lambda that you pass to an iterator over a huge slice or something.

I think pickle is what you want.

Keep in mind that this might have a huge performance impact if you do it all the time - it’s still IO even when it’s not parsing.

Ich think you need to turn the blocker off. It seems to block anything not going through the VPN, even if the VPN allows to configure exceptions.

I would say if it serves a purpose, helps you to drive a point across, go ahead.

But don’t make any other slide a meme please.

Ingl, this sounds like exactly the thing I want. Immutability aside, this is how I use EndeavourOS right now, but more sophisticated.

I’m sold on it.

Ingl, the amount of dislikes made me grunt a little

I’d be much more exited for vertical tabs and tab groups. As much as I hate to say it, but IMO only Edge really go it right with their tab game

From what I’ve heard, it also got a whole lot worse in terms of user experience, so I don’t really care.

Let’s not kill our environment maybe?

Whoa, look at that wannabe shaman over there. What did the wind tell you, huh? That you need air to breathe and water to drink?

Your android is getting slower? Ingl, I never noticed something like this in the past ~14 years of android.

I adopted a lot of customisations from Garuda to my EndeavourOS setup. I got fed up with Garuda because it constantly broke.

Bootloader broke twice, desktop broke all the time, and when I needed to load a snapshot and it simply didn’t work, they finally lost me. Never had any of these issues with my current setup, really a surprising contrast, given that Endeavour is also Arch based.

Anything connected via USB should work, as long as they don’t require a special driver. I have a Gulikit controller and it seems to work in all configurations - although you might need to remap some stuff depending on what exactly you use.

Nintendo and Xbox layout both work fine for me.

A notch worse than German - that’s actually impressive. German only distinguish between genders for (pro)nouns.

I mean, it’s on Phoronix to take this kinda out of context, but on Linus how he phrases things. You would think after years at the forefront of one of the most important FOSS projects, he’d know better.

So to add some missing context: We are talking 11 maintainers, it’s not like hundreds have been removed. Im addition, it seems like most of them are employed by russian companies, not private individuals. Their code on the other hand has not been removed.

What bothers me is that it’s unclear whether future pull-requests would be rejected as well, or whether this is a matter of association.

IMO it would have been nice if Linus focused on some details regarding this action in his response, or alternatively not responding at all. Even if all he can say is that currently he can’t comment on it, it’s definitely better than borderline xenophobic rambling and getting mad at supposed trolls, feeding trolls if anything.

“You see, he meant it as in: “A mexican that fucks”, which is a totally normal thing to say.”

In short: No. It’s getting better, but Flatpak is by no means secure. Think of it as a Windows .exe or .msi with some (not that hardened) rights management.

In addition, Flatpaks afe often community made and not even “signed” (which is not really a thing in Flatpak to begin with (yet) ((afaik))).

Something really secure would be a container, something really, really secure would be a VM, something really, really, really secure would be a separate machine. Flatpak is less secure than the least secure thing in this enumeration.

IMO this is one of the best crime thrillers by a long shot… If you ignore the Scrubs-move at the end that is
