I feel like HURD is the generational starship of operating systems. Will never be completed in my lifetime but eventually my great great grand children may some day use it.

Think less about time sharing and more about using all the computers you own together.

You would have a netbook with no compute power as your UI sitting on your couch. You could connect to your beefy desktop to do all the computations for your video editor or playing a game and never have to be sitting at your desk.

You could also have a big file store device with lots of drives to store stuff.

We can do some of this now, I ssh into my desktop from my couch and have a NFS in the basement. But they all operate as separate devices that i have to really work at getting to operate together. Plan9 was designed where you’d just pick devices off of the network and the tasks operated normally. Pick your video card, local or over the network to the beefier GPU.

Still remember mine, 7 digits long. Now i gotta go install the app and see if i remember my password.

Oh we need a Jarrarium community too. As well as one to talk about isopods and springtails.

My issue is with the 40% of the US who have continued to vote Republican for the last 60 years. These horrible policies aren’t new. Yeah swing voters notice the issues but the base continues to vote for harm to others.

Regardless of how valid her claim is, what always gets me is how anyone can vote Republican when every single bill has this exclusivity or demoralizing action at it’s heart. When was the last time a bill was authored and passed by Reps that was purely benevolent without some secrete tax cut for the rich or killing some other social programs?

It feels like the Mitchell and Webb skit “Are we the baddies?” How can you vote red when their entire agenda is to never make life better for everyone? Do no voters see this issue or do 100% not care?

Honestly i think what will get him is the last part of the clause in section 3.

or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

He has publicly stated that he will pardon the Jan 6 terrorists, paid the lawyers who have already stated their guilt and funded some of their legal cases for their part in the insurrection. He had aided and comforted the terrorists and those plotting the takeover. Doesn’t matter at this point if he was in on the scheme, he was supposed to turn them all in and disassociate from all of them immediately and he didn’t.

Yes, I know. I’m just saying Minnesota “Midwest” is not the same as the rest of the Midwest most of the rest of the Midwest is very similar.

I’m from Wisconsin, family from Michigan as well and traveled there a lot. Went to college in Iowa and dated girls in college who all were from Illinois. Now i live in Minnesota.

One thing i find odd is that Minnesotans don’t do a lot of the Midwest stuff. No midwest goodbyes, no chatting up strangers as if they were your BFF, doing all the obligation events we never want to do but say “o yah we should get together”, etc. The whole Minnesota Nice, aka being passive aggressive, isn’t really that Midwest. Of all the Midwest I’ve lived in, the highest ranking one is definitely the least Midwest in my eyes.

Yeah yeah the standard pedantic response to web services who use ads.

But how about a real response? People want to block ads and still consume content. If you feel the cost is too high then shouldn’t people watch some ads and block others to only “pay what you want.” Everyone seems to want the service for free and then cry that when you don’t pay your get your videos.

Explain how this is different than going to a grocery store and then being pissed they wont let you just walk away with food without paying?

Not sure how an IPFS option would work. I get the bandwidth issue slightly goes away as we’d all kinda share that cost but not really. IPFS isn’t really free storage. Of all media shitty compression video is big and anyone who forgot to tune their torrent upload and accidently seeded something for too long knows you’ll run out of monthly bandwidth allotments very fast.

I’m all for personal freedoms but you’re getting a service you pay no money for and then get pissed that they are getting the money out of you another way. Sound like people being petty.

If it was organized it would be an X drawer for the specific things found in the drawer. To be junk it must not be organized.

I don’t think it matters what tools you use as long as it works.

That would be true if other systems and services depend on them. Would have been nice to come out with a standard and designed systemd around that standard. Then you pick the tool you want that follows the standard rather than be tied into systemd.

Worth noting is that a process not managed by pid 1 isn’t really a thing you want generally

I would disagree. A compromised Docker doesn’t mean i have access to things managed by PID1. The entire control model is based around moving your publicly available services further away from something with the highest level of access. Be it users or processes.

And systemd is far more resources intensive than runit. Wasn’t really the point.

Kind of nice to not have a bug in my container service possibly have access to pid 1.

Personally I’d like my container/vm/chroot handled by something detached from pid 1. I get that much of the overal systemd project is separate blocks of code but it’s the fact they are bound together that it becomes an issue. I would have loved for the systemd team yo first publish a set of APIs that all their components would us and allow the same integration while being completely different projects.

That is pretty cool.

But its also another example of systemd doing stuff other services already did (see lxc).

You don’t have to actually do a real project. It’s more about doing a task that requires you to create outside the hand holding.

After 15 years of OS and embedded systems development I learned web dev by creating a SaaS for my HOA’s property manager to communicate with tenants. Node, React, MongoDB, docker, iOS and Android apps. Did the project look good? Nope. Did I have to dig into manuals and debug for weeks, yep. But I easily stepped into a new role in an industry I had never worked in because I really learned the tech stack. Actually using the app wasn’t necessary, just that I actually had to create things requiring me to design around the technology I was learning.

Pick a problem in your life and solve it. Doesn’t need to become something you sell or publish or even use after you’re done learning. But the point is to actually use your skills.

I’m saying that the work they would be doing in two days isn’t the same as solving an actual problem. The way to really learn a language/framework/library is to actually use it in a real project. You run into pitfalls, you get compile errors and have to figure out how to debug in said tech, you find out how extentions to the tech work so you can create your own. Making a Todo Front End isn’t going to cover the vast majority of the stuff I’d expect one to know or experience when you say you “know” a language/framework/library/etc.
