winterayars,

This legitimately keeps homophobes up at night.

winterayars,

Or: “I’m sorry I have work that needs to get done scheduled till Tuesday, I’ll be able to start on this then.”

(Edit: Better yet, give that as your report Monday morning.)

winterayars,

Nothing in any of these games has been particularly hand crafted. They were a big early user of procedural generation.

winterayars,

I mean a huge (really huge) number of game engines ultimately draw lineage from Quake. It’s either Quake or Unreal.

winterayars,

Also the fact that they get put in charge of everything and take all the money despite knowing nothing and mostly hurting the things they’re put in charge of.

winterayars,

Fixing things is hard and getting consensus on things is hard. Easier to get people to do something when the building is already on fire. However, in the end, it’s better to not light the place on fire just do you don’t have to talk to people.

I’m fine if we eat the rich, though.

winterayars,

This is the way.

winterayars,

Be the change, my friend.

winterayars,

“Commandment of celibacy”???

I am pretty sure that’s not a thing? Like that’s not one of the big ten. I don’t remember Jesus saying anything about commanding it, though he said to accept it if you can. I do remember stuff about rich people, though. That may be relevant considering they’re spending $4mil to go after gay priests…

winterayars,

I think they think he’s gay and that’s the real reason.

winterayars,

Yep, getting about time to move the rest of my email over to proton…

winterayars,

It’s illegal in the US.

But uh, so is catching a fish with your bare hands in Kansas.

winterayars,

At any time, even! Literally he could just tell his dudes to hit the bricks.

winterayars,

The tail end of GenX and the Millennials are the only ones whose games aren’t just slot machines (elaborately disguised or not).

winterayars,

At this point, one state solution is the only possible way forward. A two state solution will not work unless conditions radically change. Maybe it never would have worked, maybe the Israeli government only pretended to be willing to go with a two state solution.

Such a thing is unacceptable to the current Israeli government because it would end their ethnostate but i don’t see an option between that and complete extermination of the Palestinians.

winterayars,

And even lossy compression is not inherently bad. AAC is completely indistinguishable from lossless for most people and hardware setups, and very close anyway when it’s not. It uses a fraction of the space, though. (Not a comment on game dev practices, more a comment on compression.)

winterayars,

Dr Stone but for computers/software dev…

Linus teaches them all best practices and then takes a 2 week hiatus from kernel dev to write a tool that defeats the demon lord.

winterayars, 

<span style="color:#323232;">git can we just pretend the last 30 minutes never happened
</span>

I feel like that would get more use than people want to admit.

winterayars,

Yep it’s just a propaganda campaign.

In what world does a VPN need access to Camera and Bluetooth? (i.imgur.com)

I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....

winterayars,

Camera could be taking pictures of QR codes to make it easier to set up a VPN.

Bluetooth could be integration with things like Yubikeys for authentication.

Dunno if that’s what they’re actually for, though.

winterayars,

Promising The Day Of The Rope sure is one way to drive turnout.

winterayars,

Redline is wonderful.

winterayars,

You know she knows how to have a good time.

winterayars,

Cool story, still a war crime.

winterayars,

War crimes don’t cancel each other out or something. You don’t add up the war crimes each side has committed and then if they’re equal everyone calls it fair game.

winterayars,

You don’t get to measure one against the other and then, if the other side turns out to have done “more war crimes” then you’re exonerated. That’s not how that works.

winterayars,

We’ve had right on red for a long time, maybe the cars (trucks) you can’t see out of are the problem.

winterayars,

Climate change. Definitely climate change as there fourth. Unless you want to count it as the fifth, i guess.

Unless it goes in its own special category.

winterayars,

CIQ, Oracle, and Suse huh? One of these things is not like the other.

It’s a testament to how badly Red Hat fucked up that Oracle, of all companies, is getting good press out of this.

winterayars,

I watched it on the internet. I fucking saw those clowns with my own eyes. They were livestreaming it themselves, even!

winterayars,

I’ve seen that several times. I expected that’s where this post was going, nice to see that was wrong.

winterayars,

A service by itself shouldn’t be systemd, it should be implemented separately and run under systemd. However, this is using the systemd target subsystem which is a little more specific.

winterayars,

You might be able to get away with just using init=

winterayars, (edited )

“You might be able to get away without systemd” does not mean there’s no benefit to using it. There could be a management benefit (easily putting the system in different states) and/or it may be (considerably) easier to do it with systemd baking it.

If you had to (hypothetically) reimplement most of systemd’s core functionally to do it without and can do it trivially with then that sounds like you don’t like “the project named systemd”, an opinion that should not have an impact on the technical decisions.

(Edit)

Actually i didn’t throw in any specific reasons that respond to the question itself. Let me do that.

This feature is leaning on connecting the storage through networking, which makes sense. (Ideally you would do it like macOS and only let direct computer-to-computer connection run it for security reasons, at least by default.) That means you need a DHCP stack spun up, which systemd gives the project an easy way to do. In addition, any other features can also lean on other pieces of the OS through systemd. It’s just easier.

Lennart Poettering, being a lead on the systemd project, is targeting systems where systemd is the init system. That is, it’s the first actual OS process started. With this in mind, if you wanted to start this “storage target mode” before systemd you would have to implement a bunch of stuff, ex a custom DHCP configuration to get networking going. Then, of course, you have the systemd “OS level” networking and then, separately, the “storage target mode” networking–which may mean you have to then implement UI to connect the device to the network if you have a special network configuration.

If you wanted to set this up after the init system then… uh… well, that’s the implementation as it currently is being developed. It’s a systemd target because systemd is the init system in question. That’s what Poettering is doing, here.

There are probably more reasons why it makes sense to use systemd, but fundamentally systemd is the init system and it can solve problems for the project.

winterayars,

Oh that’s exciting, CPU schedulers are important.

winterayars,

Wolves who are “pets*” are also absolutely manic in comparison to normal dogs. Our lifestyle just drives everything to mindless activity to get it out.

(*: A wolf is not a pet even when they are very cute)

winterayars,

In the style of the “aliens” guy: “Roundabouts!”

winterayars,

Color management was the thing keeping me away from Wayland so that’s cool. Excited to try it.

winterayars,

Honestly we need more of this stuff. Enough boring Apple blur, let’s see some creativity.

winterayars,

We should just do UBI anyway. Copyright is a whole fucked up world of nonsense, we don’t need to go there.

winterayars,

For sure. Missed opportunity tbh.

winterayars,

It does for me too but i got COVID way back at the start, before there were vaccines or stuff, and it’s probably the sickest i’ve ever been. The only contenders were getting stomach flu in the middle of the Boundary Water Canoe Area or that time i got swine flu. The former i thought my insides were shutting down, it was misery. The latter my with made me come in even though i was sick and the rest of the workplace got it and a bunch of people ended up in the hospital. COVID was more recent so there’s some bias there but it was at least top 3.

I’m getting whatever vaccination i can until there’s clearly no more need.

winterayars,

I won’t be happy until they’re actually dead, though.

winterayars,

Yeah as far as i know Red Hat is still the primary developer… for what that’s worth. But I’d worry more about them than Poettering.

winterayars,

You’re not wrong.

Mike Johnson Said Same-Sex Marriage Would Lead to People Marrying Their Pets, Wanted to Sentence Abortion Doctors to “Hard Labor” (www.vanityfair.com)

By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy. Also...

winterayars,

In old-school polygamy you make one woman give all the other ones chores and then don’t contribute shit.

winterayars,

They don’t care whether it will or not, they’re just saying it.

winterayars,

Everything they cook gets a bit of spicy seasoning.
