- 0x457A lot of people probably think it's better to keep database "easy to swap". Which is silly, its MUCH easier to change your application layer, than database.
- Does it need to be this close to NIST, or just relative to each other? Because the latter one is solved by PTP.
- All that is required for this to work (building offline) and be immune to all bad thing you wrote: package build part must contain checksum of source code archive and mirror that source code.
- > At one point, they negotiated with Google and Google said they were going to work on an app.
MS made that offer to probably every developer on top 100 on ios/android stores. That usually meant some small shop in Eastern Europe will be contracted.
- They still distribute runtime(s). Proton runs inside one of those runtimes. You're talking about 1.0 version, 2.0 was based on debian 10, and 3.0 is based on debian 11.
It still has some assumptions about host system, though, but that's a problem for those who package steam. For example, my non-FHS NixOS provides everything required, and it works out-of-the-box.
- People feared that MS will make installing things not from the store harder. Like what apple is doing. It posed a serious potential threat. Given that MS had complete control over the Windows, DirectX and many other tools developers were using.
- > a multi user multi service server. The kind you're paid to maintain.
TIL. Didn't know I can get paid to maintain my PC because I have a background service that does not run as my admin user.
- > Their ssh supports the -X and -Y options to run remote X applications.
Cool, I remember using it in 2003 a few times. I highly doubt many people going to miss if those were gone. I would not be surprised if the majority of ssh server installations disable x11 session forwarding.

Are you sure you're not confusing Wayland users with OpenBSD users?
- Everyone pretends that you're force to only have 1 passkey. I use 3 "passkey managers": Passwords.app, Bitwarden, YubiKey hardware key. I usually add all 3 or just two (skipping YubiKey).
On Apple devices I get neat experience out of the box, on Linux (+Firefox) I forced to use Bitwarden because Mozilla is being Mozilla.
Never had any issues ever with passkeys.

- I wouldn't hate it. I used to hate systemd, but today it's one of my favorite linux things.
- Supported by whom? Xorg, the server, no longer maintained. Also, OpenBSD users already a tiny fraction of users...if every single OpenBSD desktop switches to Linux and Wayland, not a single metric will change significantly.
- MQTT solves the transport, which really isn't an issue. It solves nothing beyond that.
- > modern police institutions are directly descended from slavecatchers and strikebreakers;
That's not (entirely) true, though? Every modern police department has its roots in London Metropolitan Police Force which had nothing to do with salve catching can't say much about strikebreakers, but I know specifically LMPF went on multiple strikes themselves. It had also nothing to do with solving crimes, that's just a bonus.
- > Have you heard of balcony solar? Stick some storage with it?
Sure, let me throw away everything I grow on my balcony so I can get some storage and panels. Still not going to work for me because my balcony is west facing. I have a bunch of solar-powered devices on my balcony, and metrics tell me realistically I get 2 hours of sunlight that matters a day.
- Kinda the point? Ordered PKs give you a better index.
- Because then you run into an issue when you 'n' changes. Plus, where are you increasing it on? This will require a single fault-tolerant ticker (some do that btw).
Once you encode shard number into ID, you got:
- instantly* know which shard to query
- each shard has its own ticker
* programatically, maybe visually as well depending on implementation
I had IDs that encode: entity type (IIRC 4 bit?), timestamp, shard, sequence per shard. We even had a admin page wher you can paste ID and it will decode it.
id % n is fine for cache because you can just throw whole thing away and repopulate or when 'n' never changes, but it usually does.
- However, if you do connect, then Samsung pushes so many updates (more ads) than anyone else. My ancient samsung tv in the garage was getting weekly updates for some reason.
- You don't need a phone for most 2-factor methods. Also, you don't need iOS to receive a text message. It's very rare that I have to grab my phone for MFA.
- > By requiring high-school garage engineering to DOS your local RF services you prevent essentially everyone from doing it.
At most, it prevents people from accidentally doing it. Anyone who wants to do can figure it out on their own.
