As per https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/opendesk/info/-/blob/main/OVE...

This has:

  * libreoffice online
  * element / matrix
  * jitsi video conferencing
  * nextcloud file/data synchronization
  * dovecot imap server
  * identity management via samba4
  * xwiki - wiki

Seems nice.

You don’t generally completely wipe the high frequencies, just encode it with less bits.

The rust part is in the Kernel

A quad is commonly used in the 3D graphics world to mean a rectangle (https://www.selfcad.com/blog/quads-in-3d-a-complete-guide), so the idea is that we go "kubelet" -reinterpret-> "cubelet" -flatten it-> "quadlet".

That section is only for the enablement of units, and is equivalent to the install section in a service file: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.uni...

You can still use all sorts of dependencies in the [Unit] section: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.uni...

This are standard systemd service file syntax and standard systemd directives. Quadlet forwards everything but the [container] section directly to the generated service file.

The generator doesn't do that atm no. Seems like it would be useful though.

On the other hand, I belive systemd would load override files for the generated .service file, although those can just override details on the systemd level, not the generated podman command.

For rootless use, put the files in ~/.config/containers/systemd/

From experience it’s typically used to mean ”Something I dislike”

I assume by real-time he meant "able to produce samples at a rate equal to or higher than the audio output sample rate".

It is expensive, but also it is a competitive advantage (of sorts), as we can see with electron. At the end of the day its just a strategic decision Mozilla made to focus on the application itself.

As the original author of GtkMozEmbed I'd like to say that this is way too little, way to late. Mozilla has historically been very much against anyone trying to use the engine in anything other than the firefox app.

This is completely up to them of course, and it probably let them move firefox forward faster, due to not having to care about APIs. However, it also means that chrome completely took over the entire market with electron and similar things.

Personally I use magnets to flip bits around, ed(1) seems a bit to bloated for me.

Yeah, this is obviously a replace vs in-place modify difference. Could replace the script with a simple copy-to-temp+rename-back.

Yes, but it can't assume any random function call it does doesn't use a different pointer to the same object which is not const. So, even if you don't cast const to non-const pointers you can run into the const value changing.

My guess is that its due to comments like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20695387

There isn't a history of issues with people wanting to update to a newer bash causing issues though.

Generally sticking with whatever bash your distro comes with is fine, whereas the services you deploy often depend on a particular version of python.

Latest rpm-ostree can layer to /opt if that was the problem.

It is possible to do it. And it probably happens naturally for a handrolled toolkit. However when the (one) developer of the GUI is different than the (many) app developers using it things typically end up different.

For instance you end up with things like ui designer tools that produce manifest files, where you just expect that some non-programmer can edit it and load it into your app without having to rebuild the toolkit.

> As an uneducated estimate (from someone who has written compilers and GUIs entirely from scratch) I'd say 100K of additional statically linked object should be enough for almost any desktop application.

This is completely misguided. For a modern UI library it is very very hard to figure out what code is actually used.

Say we load the ui description from an xml file. What controls get used in the app then? Maybe the xml has a webview control in it? Then we can't drop the webview dependency.

Then your app needs to load an icon, which typically goes via some generic image loading API. What types of loaders are there? Can we get rid of the gif loader (and dependencies)? If any single image file reference is not hardcoded in the binary, again we can't.

Want to script your application in lua/python/js, and let it call into the UI library? Then we have to assume that basically any code can be reached.

Static linking like this just is not realistic.

There was never a x32 kernel, it always ran on x86_64 kernels. x32 is just a userspace ABI.

I don't think that is quite true. Yes, for normal intergers 17 and 4, you can say the above. But mod can also be used as an operation on (and into) the equivalence classes of Z mod 4.

Well, if you drag-and-drop a file things might be somewhat problematic due to the sandboxing. An app with no access to the file can't read the dropped filename.

/app is never visible on the host though

It should support it as well as deb or rpm does. I.e. it is completely uninvolved in drag-and-drop.

The video said everything on it was 100% submersible and saltwater-proof, and then all you need is an air bubble in the "sail" and it will eventually float up with the right side up, no?

Slack is packaged as flatpak on flathub: https://flathub.org/apps.html

Various versions of firefox as flatpak are here: https://firefox-flatpak.mojefedora.cz/

Getting some of those on flathub is a work in progress.
