But… You dont understand, Rust is the devil! If Rust were made the kernel’s main language it would terrible because that would mean change 😭😭😭

No way… Are you serious?

That video showed him saying that it’s good for autocomplete. But speaking from experience testing it on Rust, Python, JS, HTML and CSS, it performed the worst on Rust. It wrote tests well, but sucked at features or refactoring. Whether the problem is between the chair and the screen, I don’t know.

Whether AI will be able to write secure code, I dunno, I haven’t tried. It could be put into the rules to consider security and add tests relating to security or add an adversarial agent that tries to find flaws in the code which can be exploited. That could probably do more than a developer who has no time assigned to care about testing, much less security.

What it does to the IT sector in the long run - who knows…

Agreed. Things are moving so quickly, it’s impossible to predict. There are lots of people on LinkedIn screaming about obsoletion of humans or other bold claims, but to me they are like drunk fortune tellers: tell enough fortunes and one is bound to be right.

OP seems to be talking about high level institutions collaborating with the opensource community to make linux phones a reality. Those aren’t “normal people” but politicians and their ilk. They should be thinking different than the average consoomer i.e not “oh it’s shiny and popular, fuck the price”.

You won’t get laid more, that’s for sure!

I tried using AI in my rust project and gave up on letting it write code. It does quite alright in python, but rust is still too niche for it. Imagine trying to write zig or Haskell, it would make a terrible mess of it.

Security is an afterthought in 99.99% of code. AI barely has anything to learn from.

Then definitely talk to a lawyer. They would be able to give you the best advice for your country and situation.

Do you need to tie your name to the opensource project? If not, use a pseudonym that your employer can’t find or know 🤷 Put it on codeberg or radicle and they won’t be able to find the project anyway.

We’d need to provide a reason for them to want a Linux phone. What use could a politician have for such a phone? We need to find good, strong reasons for it.

Sovereignty is the big thing right now. Supply chain attacks too.

Is there maybe a cost projection we could provide?

But also, how can it tir into other goals? If it’s just disconnected from everything, it probably won’t get much steam. Crosscutting concerns have to be tackled with a Linux phone. Concerns that’s are tangible and not philosophical or ethical.

You can test it in a virtual machine like virtualbox or virt-manager. Then you can get a good feel for it.

c stands for community. I didn’t know on which server it is but it’s on lemmyworld [email protected]

Yunohost is probably more secure than you figuring everything out yourself. More people have a vested interest in keeping it secure. They have a minimal page on security but they have fail2ban, unattended upgrades,and a secure SSH configuration. If something is discovered, you might be vulnerable but at least there will be knowledgeable people fixing it.

Security is always difficult and nothing is 100% secure. The three letter agencies around the world have been hacked and they are in the business of hacking others. Hackers themselves get hacked on the regular. Using yunohost as a noon probably reduces the chance of you getting hacked.

If you have something only you need to access, you can also host yunohost for yourself and make it accessible only via a VPN. Headscale, tailscale, maybe even your router provides a VPN service, or setup wireguard yourself. If others have to access it… I dunno. That’s a good question to ask on /c/selfhosted

256 GB of RAM? Wow. And game servers too? If that’s small, them I don’t know what you consider big…

Anyway, proxmox does fit your scenario well. Separating your hosted services into VMs or containers makes a lot of sense. And a few game servers also have installations specific to different distros, so instead of fumbling about with your specific distro, just creating a VM with the distro you need is way easier.

Or just stop being poor. Or win the lottery. Or marry rich. Or just be successful.

Clearly OP hasn’t worked hard enough.

Depends on what you want to do. For a small server, if you want to host multiple things, hosting them straight on the metal without putting a VM in between would be more performant. If your server doesn’t have much RAM and CPU to give, then getting rid of the emulation layer makes sense.

Can you tell me why you want to use proxmox and what for?

Glad you like it! If it’s useful to you, don’t forget to donate or at least say thanks to the contributors once everything is up and running and stable.

Don’t forget backups! Restic is in yunohost and should be useful for that. Yunohost has a guide.

Yunohost should be the software you’re looking for. Install stuff by clicking. Much less terminal stuff

Once radicle becomes viable and federated source forges are finally in vogue, github can suck it and these kinds of things will belong to the past.

I want to be optimistic about nix but the main community on discourse is a travesty. It’s a more a political arena than a coding forum and actively hampers nix development. Any important decision is either made in isolation (a small group of high up people) or on the forums, and the forums are a mined battlefield. Code and words don’t matter, only who wrote or said them.

Nix has had many opportunities to be the basis for something amazing and supported by a large company. Valve could’ve used nix to have dependency locking. Imagine bazzite, the most gamer friendly distro, being built on nix. That would’ve propulsed nix at least onto a mountain to visible to many Linux users. But if I were Valve and had a single look at the forums and documentation, I too would’ve chosen something else.

I’ll also just mention nix flakes and its experimental yet widespread use with no official documentation or support. Imagine joining and being told to use flakes then being pointed to blog posts from 2019, example repos, and YouTube videos to start using it. That isn’t a good look at all.

Nix has potential but the community squanders it in favor of culture wars, pride, principle, and just anything unrelated to Nix.

Then what’s the reasoning behind “dev”?
