Linux Mint 22 “Wilma” released! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

at least you could keep their reviews so users could at least know if the app can be trusted.

You mean, don't trust a flatpak uploaded by a random person, but if there are enough fake reviews, it can be trusted?

FreeBSD 14.1 vs. DragonFlyBSD 6.4 vs. NetBSD 10 vs. Linux Benchmarks in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Can anyone explain why there is such a huge difference in some of the benchmarks: Poll, Forking, CPU Cache, Semaphores, Socket Activity, Context Switching (all Stress-NG). Can we really trust these tests?

Broken icons/images (programming.dev)
 

Anyone else noticing all those broken icons/images on this instance?

e.g. https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/1e947440-0f0d-4768-ba4b-1480551e7cc9.png?format=webp&thumbnail=96 seems to result in something like "Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/process.webp?src=1e947440-0f0d-4768-ba4b-1480551e7cc9.png&thumbnail=96): error trying to connect: dns error: failed to lookup address information: Name or service not known"

NetBSD 10.0 RC3 available (blog.netbsd.org)
 

For RC3 only few (relatively) minor changes were made, including https certificate verification in libfetch (which is used by pkg_ad(1)), and also improvements to the EFI bootloader to better deal with booting from CD (or in virtual machines ISO images), plus lots of various bug fixes.

Embracing the GC

I never actually liked the GC in D as it didn't seem to fit in with the general direction of the language, and Walter Bright in D at 20: Hits and Misses says:

Miss: Emphasis on GC

NetBSD 10.0 RC2 available (blog.netbsd.org)
 

The NetBSD project is pleased to announce the second (and probably last) release candidate of the upcoming 10.0 release, please help testing! See the release announcement for details.

The netbsd-10 release branch is more than a year old now, so it is high time the 10.0 release makes it to the front stage. This matches the long time it took for the development branch to get ready for branching, a lot of development went into this new release.

This also caused the release announcement to be one of the longest we ever did.

There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (4 children)

There is no reason to “hate” Ubuntu but there are better choices.

What are those better choices then (for those who currently use the non-LTS Ubuntu releases and don't want to move to rolling releases or LTS-only releases)?

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I still think Ubuntu is the best option (particularly if you want to use the non-LTS releases)

Having said that I do hate snaps and also dislike flatpaks. So what I do is just use the Firefox deb package from the PPA and the chromium package from Linux Mint. Oh, and I have actually replaced ubuntu-advantage-tools with a no-op dummy package.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Only issue is they’re stored in my server as belonging to the server user (I assume everything in those directories should belong to root and I can just use chown?) But I also don’t know if they retain the same permissions when backed up.

Not everything will be owned by root, and some of the binaries will be setuid or setgid, some might even have extended attributes (e.g. ping will usually have a security.capability attribute). /var will also have a lot of different owners.
