That must be a mistake. Are there any Finish people on Lemmy? I’d like to know if they are observing this on the ground, because honestly, if every 4th person had Linux there it would be somewhat visible. Even non-techies in the family or friend circle would mention it or ask about switching to it, or there would be a popular store to buy stuff with linux pre-installed.
Isn’t Gemini a transport protocol? It can transport binary data and text data. Wouldn’t it be easy to send JavaScript? If there’s a browser on the other end that supports JavaScript, it can be executed.
But setting up even a simple HTTP server is a lot of work.
How so? python3 - m http.server and you’re done. The text can be read even by CLI browsers that don’t depend on javascript.
Or do you have some other scenario in mind? Does Gemini support SSL?
I honestly don’t understand how this protocol can protect anything HTTP+HTML wouldn’t. If you build a browser that supports modern web technologies using Gemini, we’ll be back at the same spot. The only thing saving the protocol is its relative obscurity. A decicated and knowledgeable Dev could abuse it any way they like, no?
I assumed this was going to be a negative article because my experience with canonical was equally disappointing. It only took me one go to drop it though. The pseudo-scientific questions in the online assessment got me so annoyed I was just cursing by the time it was over. Companies with this kind of selection process do not deserve the talent they get.
Shuttleworth’s involvement in the recruitment process explains why Ubuntu is such an annoying operating system to deal with. He probably gets involved in wrong places all the time. There likely is some kind of vision, but the dude won’t listen to critique, and surrounds himself with yes-men.
Redhat was… not as bad, but there’s something equally annoying about yet another opensource company deciding to copy silicon valley recruitment processes, instead of thinking for themselves and trying to be innovative in that regard too.
That knowledge is gone. Everything is a web app running JavaScript in a browser. We don’t need to be encumbered by pesky things like pages and folders. 😋
We’re not 20 years in the past, old man.
LOL. Let me guess “just use Emacs/vim”?
No thank you bruv. Been there, done that. Terrible experience.

All of these emulated only a fraction of the power of IDEs, even after weeks of trying to get them configured properly.
Inb4 “you’re doing it wrong”. Nah mate, IDEs work out of the box and don’t require opening a text file to change settings while going through reams of documentation.
I right click in a file and it shows me the most important contextual commands. No need to find the " leader key", scroll through all the 1 billion commands, I don’t have to “download a LSP and DAP” then “configure treesitter” or whatever the fuck kind of apes are in the editor.
Those editors have steep learning curves and get you productive eventually. IDEs get you there much more quickly. Yeah yeah, they hide complexity and “people don’t know what’s actually going on anymore” but sometimes I just want to get going instead of fighting my editor first. Feel me?
Meanwhile: vim and Emacs users, constantly installing and configuring plugins to emulate a fraction of the power of IDEs, go “just use vim/Emacs”.
EDIT: It does work. My (GNU) libc spits out version info when executed as an executable.

It feels like somewhere in the flow there is the same thing that’s happening in python just more hidden. Python seems to expose it because a file can be a library and an executable at the same time.
Can someone explain to me how to compile a C library with “main” and a program with main? How does executing a program actually work? It has an executable flag, but what actually happens in the OS when it encounters a file with an executable file? How does it know to execute “main”? Is it possible to have a library that can be called and also executed like a program?
I’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
I honestly thought this was going to be a post about how they finally are going to trademark nix and the logo. Can they even trademark it? My feeling is that “nix” is just too ambiguous a term to trademark.
My problem isn’t the hardware, it’s that the place I’m moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.
My problem is that I’m moving in the not so far future and I don’t know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it’ll be worthless due to encryption. But if it’s in somebody’s datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I’d have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.
I’m considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I’m not sure they’d be up for it.
How would you solve the problem?
Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?
As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There’s also starlabs byte.
Take your pick :)
Oh, my comment was more that compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit. Windows may be the worst to compile on, but Linux is only marginally better.
Rust is amazing though.
“It’s so easy to compile C/C++ apps on Linux”
“Just run make install”

What’s going on there? MacOS and OSX are counted separately.
