    Every time I go to a hacker’s forum (the orange site, Lobsters, etc) and read comments, I keep thinking to myself:

    You fucking pieces of shit. 99% of you has done only the top 1% of programming languages, you’ve never seen any crap other than Node/JS, Go, Python, and now Rust.

    And you want me to take your opinion seriously? You’ve never done functional programming, you still think Pascal is different because it uses BEGIN instead of {, and basically, you just copy other’s opinion.

    you are basically if a standard liberal was watching CNN, or a standard conservative was watching Fox News. have no ideas of your own.

    My point is: go f*ck yourself, no one cares about what you say anymore. Everything you suggested in the last 20 years were all shit. they were so shit that you had to “jump ship” every time something else was hyping…

    @feld @dch I’m really really sorry…

    We’ve also used emojis as websocket topics before as well.

    10 years ago when I told people that systemd will make Linux systems more crappy, people called me crazy. Now, everyone is wondering if this was a good idea.

    Here are more things to be careful about, in case you missed my prev messages:

    - PulseAudio / Pipewire
    - Gnome
    - GTK4
    - Wayland
    - dbus
    - NetworkManager
    - A messaging system that’s not federated
    - Linux-specific software (e.g. Docker)

    I know this not because I am smart, but because others don’t think critically.

    @stefan yes. For operating systems like FreeBSD and illumos, you can have Boot Environments. If you have access to the host, sure, you can “rollback” from there, but that might not always be the case.

    If you do have access to the host, it still help with single file restoration, and you get compression and checksumming as a bonus.

    The only case where I use UFS instead of ZFS for a FreeBSD VM is temporary VMs for one day testing. ZFS All The Way.

    For those of you who don't understand why, it's because in one case you can choose tyranny.com or notyranny.com, and in the other case you’re stuck with tyranny.gov.

    Hope this helps those who don't have libertarian friends.

    Life is just much simpler with IPv6.

    I wish everyone just started supporting IPv6.

    I’ll give you a better one: If you don't have an RSS feed you don't have a blog.

    Blogger? more like YouTuber, Instagrammer, LinkedIner, whatever, but not a Blogger. You must have an RSS feed.

    @b0rk couple of years ago, when my friend was at a local hackathon / competition, he needed to automate sending/receiving SMS, but since we live in Armenia, a country that Twilio probably never even heard of, I built my friend a unscalable version of Twilio using Nokia N900, Python 2.5 and DBus. He just had to interact with it via an HTTP API.

    So… I feel you.

    The more I help my friend with his Python project the more I learn everything is just a bad knock off of Erlang.

    No proper pattern matching, no processes, not even a proper key/value database in the system.

    This language is a toy.

    It's a good toy, but still a toy.

    Hey friends at @defcon && @HackerJeopardy, I really want to organize “Hacker Jeopardy” for my next local InfoSec meetup. I was wondering if the program that you use is available and open source?

    I can build it from scratch, but might be better to improve the one that you have?

    Thanks in advance!

    And there are people out there who think that Linux is the only open source solution.

    I just wish Application developers realize how easy their life would be with non-Linux Unix-like systems. https://mastodon.social/@JasperSiepkes/113214477608545548

      @rubenerd@bsd.network We run Triton (illumos) for our VM's. It's a nice full fledged solution for a private cloud and is supported by tools like OpenTofu / Terraform. Also has first class support for ZFS and has a service layer (SMF). OpenBSD for network appliances because it supports a lot of networking stuff out of the box (CARP, latest PF, etc.) and we use FreeBSD for an appliance due to the ZFS support.

    I’m trusting CVs and LinkedIn less and less.

    I work with someone, I see that they have a hard-time doing simple things such as configuring an IMAP client (client, not the server), have a hard time installing software and connecting to a VPN.

    Somehow their CV and LinkedIn says that they are an expert in system administration, Windows AD, Unix, Cloud, and much more.

    At this point the only thing I trust is written content, such as code, documentation and blog posts.

    How did we get here?

    @feld @gruber @wezm Claws. But Mutt works as well. More of an Alpine user myself.

    For browser: modern WebKit browser wrapped in QT, works fine. It’s slow since it’s a low powered device, but it works.

    More powerful devices like the Droid 4 with Maemo-Leste render web pages MUCH faster.

    It’s the Devuan repository after all.

    @gruber @wezm it might even end up been more useful. I mean both Android and iOS are toy operating systems. I would love to have Linux or NetBSD on my *looking around* 10+ outdated iOS devices in the house.

    We do that with MacBooks anyway.

    @gruber @wezm unfortunately true.

    But if makers allow it, then amazing things happen.

    I’ve been daily driving my Nokia N900 for couple of weeks now. It’s a phone from 2009 and runs latest version of all modern software.

    I've been following #FreeBSD-hackers for a while now, and everyone seems to be talking about #Rust.

    There are people who agree, there are people who don't and there are people like me, who wants to get answers to simpler questions, such as "Why Rust?".

    The Rust community seems to think that it's the revolution in Memory-Safe languages. Sorry, you are not. Far smarter people have been doing this for longer time.

    So, Rust? Ada? Oberon? Pascal?
