Lobbyists turning into government regulator is a lot more common then people realize. It is normal regardless of what party occupies the Whitehouse. This is one of those things were most people don't realize this goes…
Yes it was bit uncharitable, but I couldn't resist based on the way he phrased it. It was just a joke. "Preventing" the vulnerability would indeed require going back to 1994. Since it is a vulnerability that has existed…
Microsoft is guilty of giving incompetent administrators enough rope to hang themselves.
I think that using the term 'application containers' to reference docker and 'system containers' to reference LXC is a bit of a meaningless distinction. You can 100% host "systems containers" on Docker and you can host…
"Systems containers" are almost certainly isn't more secure since 'root' means things, even in a container. Containers just leverage existing Linux namespace isolation techniques to isolate applications. A good way to…
Copyright exists to protect publishers, not the people actually doing the work. Copyright was created for the specific purpose of censorship.
One of the effects of ISG15 deficiency is a disease called "Type I interferonopathy". Among the symptoms of this disease includes things like necrotic lesions and severe multi-systemic damages. From what I gather the…
With the advent of Steam deck and Valve putting time and effort into AMD GPU drivers the AMD GPU is really the best option for Linux when it comes to general desktop stuff and gaming. The days of Nvidia proprietary…
There was a similar situation going on with Craigslist and a couple other websites. I don't remember the details. But the basic gist is that people were selling illicit sex services on these websites, much of which was…
yeah Quadlets are a pretty reasonable improvement. It was introduced in Podman 4.4 which is circa 2023. And it takes a while for podman to get up to date in non-Redhat related distributions. Like Debian Stable was stuck…
It is especially acute when it comes to Linux desktop.
Large scale solar are actually large scale gas plants. Since there is no way to store electricity large scale and solar energy is unreliable then they depend on gas turbines to work.
Emissions, mileage, crash safety standards in the USA punish smaller more fuel efficient cars. The larger the wheel base or "shadow" of the vehicle the easier for it is to meet Federal standards. This is why nobody…
I wish more people understood what "The Administrative State" is and its history. Because the "oligarchy" people complain about isn't the cause of massive government corruption. "Oligarchy" is the natural result of…
Apptainer, like the vast majority of container solutions for Linux, take advantage of Linux namespaces. Which is a lot more robust and flexible then simple chroot. In Linux (docker, podman, lxc, apptainer, etc)…
For gaming and general desktop on Linux AMD is best if you want a dedicated GPU. If you want a laptop with good battery life Intel is generally the way to go. A lot of this is due to the enormous amount of effort Valve…
Yes toolkit authors have realized they have to avoid X11 as much as possible if they want to have good results. This one of the major motivations as to why X11 guys decided Wayland was a good idea. Because having your…
Tramp can work better for containers then it does over SSH. I use it conjunction with distrobox and podman. It should be able to work with kubernetes as well.
XWayland can be run in 'rootless' and 'rootful' modes. Rootless is what it is typically ran as and allows you to integrate X11 apps into your Wayland desktop environment. Rootful would allow you to run X11 desktop with…
DRM is literally the 3D acceleration driver framework for Linux. It has been around for decades and is same set of drivers that are used for any sort of accelerated graphics in X. If you want to get rid of DRM you have…
Nvidia under Linux has had a long and hard history. For most purposes, including gaming, it is best to avoid Nvidia hardware. Using Intel for laptops and AMD for dedicated GPUs is kinda the best general approach if you…
Meta works by identifying users, modelling their behavior, and then combining that data with third party sources (typically your financial activities) and then selling access to that data to third parties. Mostly for…
Wayland devs and Xorg X11 devs are by and large the same group of people. So nothing you said really makes a lot of sense. There are lots of display technologies out there for Linux besides X11 and Wayland. There was…
Used 10GbE ethernet components are cheap on ebay. I built a 10GbE 'switch' by buying 2 4 port SPI+ PCIE cards off of Ebay and then joining them together with a conventional Linux Br0 bridge on a old Intel gaming…
I don't know a whole lot about it, but GSI is "Generic System Image". If a phone has proper "Treble" support and the bootloader is unlocked then it is theoretically possible to install a GSI image on it. Treble is a…
