BodyCulture··on We need to protect the protocol that runs Bluesky
Thank you very much!
BodyCulture··on We need to protect the protocol that runs Bluesky
Wound be great if you posted the URL to the relevant documentation for this… I guess there must be some docs about these delicate details? Thank you very much!
BodyCulture··on Build a Database in Four Months with Rust and 647 Open-Source Dependencies
How many people do the security code review with this process? How do they avoid piling dozens of well hidden holes when you not use a library that is publicly available and seen by thousands of eyes?

Isn’t the best argument for open source code that it has so many people, most companies can not afford such a global quality assurance.

BodyCulture··on ZFS 2.3 released with ZFS raidz expansion
How well tested is this in combination with encryption?

Is the ZFS team handling encryption as a first class priority at all?

ZFS on Linux inherited a lot of fame from ZFS on Solaris, but everyone using it in production should study the issue tracker very well for a realistic impression of the situation.

You probably don’t realise how important encryption is.

It’s still not supported by Proxmox, yes, you can do it yourself somehow but you are alone then and miss features and people report problems with double or triple file system layers.

I do not understand how they have not encryption out of the box, this seems to be a problem.

BodyCulture··on A job platform for developers by developers (built by an experienced developer)
No, it is not good, please remove it. There are many devs with overlapping experiences.

Bad decision to force people to put a stamp on them just to sign up!

BodyCulture··on Trying to use Bluesky without getting burned again
What is the evidence for people being confused about that? Did any scientist some research about this, are there any facts or studies about this issue? Or does just someone think it is an issue?

Can you please give some more details about the pressure methods in mastodon you are writing about, this is very interesting and important.

Is there any systematic study going on about the mechanism of censorship in the fediverse?

BodyCulture··on They don't make them like that any more: the Yamaha DX7 keyboard
Digitone II is available since a few weeks and is an excellent choice for exploring FM!

For people interested in this product but not sure buying a hardware synth: opsix native is the name for the software only version of it available at the Korg website…
BodyCulture··on Company claims 1k% price hike drove it from VMware to open source rival
Proxmox looks great, but unfortunately it doesn’t come with encryption oob and manually applying it comes with feature loss and other problems. ZFS vs encryption is a bad place to live. You of course need encryption for your VMs on the Enterprise.
BodyCulture··on Show HN: Proxmox VE Helper Scripts
Unfortunately until this day Proxmox doesn’t support full disk encryption oob, despite using the word „Enterprise“ in the first paragraph of their website. Yes, you can go your own way and install on an encrypted Debian, but you will miss important features and are on your own. It all comes down to ZFS not treating FDE as a first class citizen.

Very sad state of affairs.

BodyCulture··on OpenZFS deduplication is good now and you shouldn't use it
In the Proxmox forum some people tried this method and do not report big success. Can not recommend for production.

Still the same picture, encryption seems to be not a first class citizen in ZFS land.

BodyCulture··on OpenZFS deduplication is good now and you shouldn't use it
I wanted to use ZFS badly, but of course all data must be encrypted. It was surprising to see how usage gets much more complicated than expected and so many people just don’t encrypt their data because things get wild then.

Look, even Proxmox, which I totally expected to support encryption with default installation (it has „Enterprise“ on the website) does loose important features when trying to use with encryption.

Also please study the issue tracker, there are a few surprising things I would not have expected to exist in a productive file system.

BodyCulture··on Algorithmic Music Generation with Python
The videos do not work, what is a pity, I really would like to hear some results!

Would it be easier to just provide simple audio files?

BodyCulture··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
This discussion is about an open source password manager. I wonder why you are recommending a closed source software? Are you aware that many people prefer open source for security software for a reason?
BodyCulture··on Eartho: Open-Source, Privacy-Focused Alternative to Google Sign-In
Can you please provide a source for your information about Google handling login data? Your words are very interesting, but they would have more impact if you could provide a source.
BodyCulture··on Microsoft said it lost weeks of security logs for its customers' cloud products
The ideology here is „enterprise security platform“. This is marketing brainwash.
BodyCulture··on Microsoft said it lost weeks of security logs for its customers' cloud products
This is wrong. What you see as fragments are security boundaries for others.
BodyCulture··on Microsoft said it lost weeks of security logs for its customers' cloud products
Mostly it’s the other way around: attackers follow MS „security software“ to get deep into your systems.
BodyCulture··on Microsoft said it lost weeks of security logs for its customers' cloud products
I was laughing recently when at some place they started to install MS software on all Linux machines to integrate them into Azure. At that point you should just stop and think for a while about it. Didn’t you go for Linux because you wanted to have a reliable system?
BodyCulture··on Nonfree software found in GNU Boot releases again, many distros affected
And reality proves over and over again that open source firmware and hardware are very much needed.
BodyCulture··on Svelte 5 Released
There is no way around trying yourself. Stop wasting time asking people for their opinions about frameworks and start building your own insights from first hand experience.
BodyCulture··on Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge
Why? Please explain and add some sources that support your thesis, thanks!
BodyCulture··on Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge
Your words are interesting, but they need a strong source of truth to be relevant. Would you please like to add an URL that supports your thesis? Thanks!
BodyCulture··on Asterinas: OS kernel written in Rust and providing Linux-compatible ABI
Sometimes we just don’t know if a person that started something did know how hard it would be or not. Sometimes it is not possible to know how hard things can be or not.

Generally this is a very interesting question hat could be discussed in a very long thread, but still the reader will not get any value from it.

BodyCulture··on Show HN: One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first
The crypto coin world is based on an Orwellian abuse of words / meanings.
BodyCulture··on GnuCash 5.9
Cool, thanks for sharing, but is there no better way to automate GnuCash, eg with a Bash or Python script?
BodyCulture··on BookStack: Simple and Free Wiki Software
Would be great if we could actually export a book as pdf or in a format that could be printed or worked on in book publishing software. I could not find that option, is it available?
BodyCulture··on I Am Tired of AI
I would like to know how does AI help us in solving the climate crisis! I have read some articles about weather predictions getting better with the help of AI, but that is just the monitoring, I would like to see more actual solutions.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks!
