Do you think there’s a way for this to scale to larger projects like Servo? Or will it only work for a few people collaborating?

This is a good point. I assumed here that FS advocates will be basically opposed to a technology that serves to incorporate their code into software that does not provide the fundamental freedoms to end users, more than those who license their work permissively. But yes you could imagine an FS advocate who is quite happy to use the tech themselves and churn out code with GPL attached.

Fossil has a lot of features and config knobs.

Milchick, as manager of the severed floor, failed to maintain appropriate Occupational Health & Safety standards by allowing a firearm and ammunition to be available and removable from the sacrifice chamber without adequate controls.

Why is this LLM trying to teach me about acyclic graphs in the middle of an article about Linux platform support?

I was thinking about this some more and the severed floor would be an outstanding setting for a modern RP MUD. Character classes could be the different departments and you could develop your character’s skills and earn rewards. Maybe there could be some new spins on the genre like hallway paths are randomised per person and you need help to learn to reach other departments, or you have a limited budget for actions that cause restrictions or send you to the break room.

Take your time with reintegration. I want more goat-related world-building.

AFAICT this is super mundane. Devs added some checks that when run will drop .hdrtest files all over the source tree when you do a normal build. This is really unclean and has practical ramifications even if you gitignore them as Linus points out. Pretty much any lead developer would be upset if someone tried to merge something like this in a software project, and it has essentially nothing to do with the particular drivers or code functionality.

Yep that’s me. It’s still there, I just wanted more hosting flexibility so I froze that site last year and started using a new domain for new posts

As a rule I don’t directly quote bboard messages elsewhere, even if they’re mundane or from the admin. Just a bit of respect to folks who aren’t posting on the web and might not want to be.

There was a reply that it should be okay now but more disks will be needed soon

FYI I posted in REQUESTS, so I’m sure it will get looked at sooner or later.

I mean, maybe? But what does the revolution even want? Stable non-creepy jobs and 40 hours a week subtracted from their outies’ lives so they can progress their office romance during breaks?

I’m leaning towards some goal that’s more specific to Helena’s situation. Since her father has taken an interest in her innie behaviour it’s likely that she’ll get to continue as Helly R in some capacity but who even knows what his goals are at this point.

I’m cautiously optimistic there’s something else Helly R and Mark S can do (or think they can do) and we just don’t know where they’re running to yet. Mark S knows his work is done, especially after what he did to Drummond, regardless of what he thinks about his outie’s motivations. If you were at that exit stairwell (can he even use it? Helly couldn’t 🤷) and you knew that life inside was 100% hopeless then surely you’d take your chances with your outie’s reintegration.

OTC was a convenient plot development for making the situation more flexible and it wouldn’t surprise me if we see another.

Lumon hired and severed a lot of people to have a kickarse band on that floor. I… don’t mind I guess?

Ah yes, so straightforward.

I’m confident that if the host is compromised I’m screwed regardless.

I have to assume that we’re in this situation because because the app does not exist in our distro’s repo (or homebrew or whatever else). So how do you go about this verification? You need a trusted public key, right? You wouldn’t happen to be downloading that from the same website that you’re worried might be sending you compromised scripts or binaries? You wouldn’t happen to be downloading the key from a public keyserver and assuming it belongs to the person whose name is on it?

This is such a ridiculously high bar to avert a “security nightmare”. Regular users will be better off ignoring such esoteric suggestions and just looking for lots of stars on GitHub.

So tell me: if I download and run a bash script over https, or a .deb file over https and then install it, why is the former a “security nightmare” and the latter not?
