After reading the linked page, it appears that at least some of the security issues are addressed:

Applications will be isolated from each other by default and can only interact with other applications either through a GUI prompt asking for permission, such as with screen recorders, where it will only be allowed to record the window specified or by explicitly giving the application permission before launched (such as a window manager or external compositor).

I’ll probably continue to push forward with Wayland, but I suppose I’m pleased that someone is taking a crack at trying to improve X11. The author also mentions potentially using this as a lightweight and safe replacement for xwayland.

Childhood trauma is horrible, I’m sorry ): you deserved a safe home, and it’s tragic you felt so scared that you had to call the cops.

It annoys me when people don’t at least try to explain the advantages of language features. Like, there are some real advantages to writing “pythonic” Python, but if someone doesn’t know then it’s better to tell them why this other way rocks and is fucking cool and also happens to be considered best practice.

Also, sometimes you just have to do things in a non-pythonic way. PEP 8 literally says that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, which the pythonic nuts should hold as gospel.

I was also curious, so I looked it up. This was the motivation for developing kiot:

I have a script lower my blinds if I turn on the camera during the afternoon as otherwise there’s an annoying glare. My office lights and monitor both have a redder hue at night, but disabling night-mode on my PC automatically disables the main light performing redshift too. I want my screen to turn off not 10 minutes after activity, which is simultaneously both annoyingly too long and too short, but the moment the motion sensor in my room says I’ve left.

It lets you control various light/sound aspects of your computer via HA. Here’s what it lets you control.

I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I’m not disagreeing with you and I don’t know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it’s an interesting idea that you’re not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

It does! The ease of exporting/importing mod packs as codes is part of what really sold me on it. r2modman’s UX around that task leaves something to be desired imo

If you’re using r2modman, you should check out Gale. It’s basically a drop-in replacement that’s WAY faster and has far better UX in my opinion.

I’m surprised the comments aren’t worse over there. The Phoronix comments section shares a striking resemblance to YouTube, but I had to go like 2-3 pages in before the chuds really started rolling in.

People are submitting AI generated bug bounty reports to projects and are hiding the fact that they’re AI.

EDIT: I probably should have linked this one.

Yeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol’ DNF for me. I just wasn’t really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.

It’s one of the worst takes on the Ukrainian war I’ve read in a while.

The land Putin has stolen contains rich coal reserves and a shitton of metallurgical industry. If you want to completely disregard the fact that people are actively dying to defend/reacquire it, consider the industrial and military importance of the region. The land represents energy security (don’t get me wrong, fuck coal stop burning it) and raw materials to make more weaponry.

Most of my open terminals are using 9 MiB, although one is using 17.

If you want more help with Bash in the future, this is the best resource I’ve found in 13 years of writing bash professionally: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/EnglishFrontPage

Bash FAQs and pitfalls are the primary sections to look at there.

Thank you for providing the easiest and most portable answer. This will handle files with special characters perfectly unlike most of the responses here which rely on a while loop (to say nothing of a for loop ).

Shell scripts are one of the worst possible applications of an LLM. They’re trained on shit fucking GitHub scripts, and they give you shit in return.

It’s just faster and smoother when scrolling text, and all the work of shifting those pixels is pushed off onto specialized hardware that’s much more efficient at it. I use alacritty which is a different GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and I’m very fond of it. It’s not a huge deal, I just figure that if I have the hardware, I might as well use it.

You may have a bit of a hard time finding something that’s completely FLOSS that’s not on the older side (the sar visualizer being a Java desktop application being a consequence of that age). There are various ways to dump resource usage into a time series database like Prometheus (Apache2), InfluxDB (Apache2/MIT), or VictoriaMetrics (Apache2) and then visualize it with a frontend (Grafana, APGL). The database is going to be the tricky part. All of the time series DBs I’m aware of are permissively licensed. Grafana may be a good fit for you, however. It’s written in Go so it’s relatively light, although it obviously requires a browser to interact with.

Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there’s nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I’d hold off until you’re comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

It does, the repo is tagged as AGPL.
