Technological optimism in current dark age.

Aparently Red Hat employee banned Hyprland developer from the Freedesktop project because of some pronoun joke in the project Discord years ago.

Hyprland is the most popular Wayland tiling compositor at the moment.

AFAIK anonymity in general is illegal in Brazil.

Many people are unaware of BSD systems.

BSD is an authentic Unix, Linux is a clone. I will tell you that part of the success of Linux was due to the legal problems that BSD faced in the late 80's and 90's by AT&T.

If BSD had not faced these legal problems, perhaps Linux would not exist today.

The BSD operating systems are excellent, the main branches are:

- FreeBSD, the BSD system par excellence, is where more innovation in all aspects, to consider its magnificent integration with ZFS (the best on the market), its virtualization system and isolation Jails that predates docker and derivatives and its ports system (package manager). It also stands out for its performance, where in some aspects it surpasses Linux as in web servers.

- OpenBSD, the most secure operating system in the world, as it is the one that reports the fewest vulnerabilities, only followed by AIX.

- NetBSD, one of the systems that supports more architectures. Pioneer in integrating certain technologies such as IPv6, a great quality, a very well written and organized code and compliance with standards and a great file system such as BSD FFS.

- DragonFLY BSD, a great unknown but a great operating system, many FreeBSD nerds have switched to it. Hybrid kernel like Macos, Hammer file system (snapshots, compression and deduplication), LWKT (Light Weight Kernel Threads) implements lightweight threads in the kernel for better concurrency management, native virtualization in the kernel with vkernel and native swapcache.

Some fun facts that will interest you.

BSD licenses are more permissive than the GPL, allowing your code to be included in other projects and the resulting code to be licensed under other licenses, including proprietary or closed licenses.

Macos is a derivative of FreeBSD and uses many parts of it, although the core of Macos called Darwin is opensource (APSL). Macos on the other hand is a certified Unix.

Other systems that use FreeBSD are Playstation 3, Playstation4 and Nintendo Switch.

Netflix, WhatsApp and FligthAware are other examples of companies using FreeBSD in their infrastructures due to the incredible performance of their TCP/IP stack under high loads and web servers.

When Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft, they were using FreeBSD servers, no need to tell you what an ordeal it was for Microsoft to migrate their architecture to Windows Server.

Finally, the integration and cohesion of BSD operating systems are due to their development as a complete system, with the kernel and user space designed and maintained by the same team. This contrasts with Linux, which is primarily a kernel around which distributions add software and tools to form a complete operating system.

Long live BSD, the UNIX.

“Unix certified” aparently is a thing to mainly get on US government contracts.

BSD systems are good for their own reason but the hyper focusing on the “true unix” thing anachronism at this point. Linux *is* the Unix of today. Even the version of ZFS FreeBSD uses is developed first on Linux nowadays!

You can’t say I’m wrong when most of those systems spend time and resources developing and maintaining “Linuxlator” layers to run Linux binaries.

What about innovation then? FreeBSD scheduler doesn’t support big.LITTLE architectures in current year. Linux got multiple new file systems since FreeBSD ported ZFS from Solaris.

Have fun running BSDs but disregard the slogans.

Windows 11 is disgusting. I’ve spent hours running weird programs to _remove_ retarded stuff (ads, tracking, spyware) from the OS so that it becomes usable. Then more hours into making it work as a decent work environment which incidentally relies on making it work like Linux (podman, a decent terminal, text editors, runtimes, compilers
).

It almost seems amateur compared to the experience you get from Plasma or Gnome out of the box.

I’m about to nuke my LND and go all out on #mutiny with the + service. Should I? What are the trade offs besides no LNURL or receive while offline?

As far as I know It’s a very specific attack. You need to run a distribution that is rolling release _and_ uses the binary tarball of XZ while having the SSH system notify thing on. Its almost specifically sorts out Debian testing derivatives and Fedora.

For example, Arch has the infected binary but its SSH is not linked to it. NixOS will have the 5.6.1 version but its clean because they’ve built from source instead of using the published binaries.

But if you have something important running on those servers that got touched by those exploits its better to just wipe clean and redeploy those machines.

Hi thanks for the help. It builds fine but then it complains about:

- on Nixos not finding libwayland-client or something

- on Fedora 38 it complains about the GlibC version

I think there is some gotcha with the NixOS build that can be worked around but the weirdest thing is Fedora complaining about Glibc version even though it built. Both issues seem egui related.

Not at home right now but will reproduce first chance I get.

Ubiquiti has no idea what they are doing anymore.
