  • I got reports on this. I’m personally not of a mind to remove it, but it does feel irrelevant to open source. It’s more a Linux sysadmin type thing.

    I will say, cut down the spam. Any repeated similar musings within a week would be low value and I’d probably remove.

    I personally don’t agree with your points and this wouldn’t be relevant to most peoples risk profile.

    Worth reflecting on what others have said here. I think you’re worrying too much about something that will never be expolitable in standard usage and this is from someone who worries a lot about privacy.

    Maybe if this is really important to you check out Tails OS which as far as I’m aware focusses on running in RAM and leaving minimal persistent state.







  • Most times overhead is less important than readability and maintainability of code. If someone cannot read your code, they’ll mess it up far worse.

    Optimisation is for bottlenecks. No point making code run in 0.01ms rather than 0.02 if it later hits at 0.7s bottleneck like file io or DB. For most things, readability is everything unless you’re developing operating systems or close to metal libraries. Many compilers will inline functions anyway so the only gain is increased suffering of colleagues and later bugs in production when it’s modified by someone else. Cognitive load is very important and why many static code analysis tools pick it up.

    So you assumed I’m an American liberal…

    Firstly, I’m not American. I live in Europe. So fail one. Secondly, I’m a Socialist, so fail two. Fuck liberalism, and screw America, but ultimately, that doesn’t mean you have to swallow everything the enemies of American push. Oh, and I’m on Lemmy because I haven’t touched Reddit in a while. You’re the weirdest leftie that is still actively on an enshittified right-wing hell hole and the projection is real crazy. You cannot demand critical analysis from Americans, and fail in it yourself.

    Oh, btw, Russia is capitalist, with many, many billionaires. The proletariat are not reaping the benefits of their exploitation.

    I live in a world where you can be anti-captalist and not shilling for Russia.

    Let’s go back to basics though, if you have a source saying something, you have to ask who said it, and whether they have a motive. Russia Today is the Russian state broadcaster. It’s a really dreadful source to use to understand a war Russia are currently in. I’d suggest you’d find a less biased source, but not too many of them are pushing Russian propaganda.

    I’m really curious. How do you run polling stations, where you have to advertise to the public where they are, and to come there, and protect yourself from drone and missile strikes? I really want to understand how you can run elections where you’re being invaded. Can you help me out here? Any examples?

    I get really annoyed with Libtards throwing around terms like “tankies” but you’re really kind of walking the ball into your own net (football reference) when you’re shilling this hard for Russia.
