(Though I don't know a lot about and would be interested to hear criticisms of it.)

Theia remains the furthest along of any that I've seen. I'd love to know if someone thinks another "VSCode in browser, running on a remote server" is along further; there seems to be a new one every other month!

Note that perf for Firefox+HiDPI+Wayland-native is noticeably worse than XWayland (regardless of whether it's scaled or Firefox is rendering itself at 2x), and keyboard shortcuts are still not functioning correctly (and apparently only in Sway).

Scaling just works... except with XWayland apps. And I think we should investigate sommelier more for that, though it's increasingly irrelevant to me, as a user. Note that Chromium seems to be a big burden right now, as Ozone/Wayland is not ready yet and is not included in default configurations. (But I'm going to start publishing Chromium+vaapi+wayland builds to nixpkgs-wayland, which I maintain).

Let me know if I can answer questions or help. Sway is the first place I've finally get decent about Linux+HiDPI.

edit: To emphasize my point, I can actually step up/down the scaling factor in .1 increments (imagine Ctrl +/- keybindings). It's not quite as smooth as ChromeOS's entire UI scale, but I honestly never thought I'd see this in Linux.

Let's start a working group, stat! What a cool story it would be if we could say that we built images for the thing before it ever even shipped and had a one liner to emit new NixOS-based images for a Librem 5.

There is so much potential for experimenting with update models, read-only secondary secure OS partitions (combined with Nix's reproducability starts getting pretty compelling, in my opinion).

I go by the same name and am persistently in the Nix(OS) related IRC channels. Cheers.

I'm also getting really tired of this "it's just ideas, guys!" as nationalism, flat earthism, anti-vaxx and more dangerous, anti-intellectual bullshit spreads across the country in this YouTube-era. I'm on the phone with my brother and he's telling me about a student teacher telling middle school students the earth is flat. I'm tired of acting like it's fine and this is unconcerning. Maybe the ever-reliable, ever-silent downvoters could express themselves and tell me why I'm wrong to be concerned.

You know the phrase, "working for the weekend"? From the actual hours in office, piled up non-work responsibilities, constant stress from the job... I was working all of the time for... for what, retirement? That's a horrifying thing to think through end-to-end, especially when you step back from your job for a while to realize, in most cases, for most people, it's just a job.

American culture is masochistically obsessed with attaching human value and worth to "work ethic" or "career success". It's a nice distraction (probably not on accident), but I'm fairly there's more to life and I glad it didn't take 30 straight years working to figure that out. And now I guess I'm repeating it here to try and solidify it for myself.

Anyway, I was just pointing out it is also available via Cilium. To put it another way, Cilium can replace kube-proxy, just as kube-router does. As well as doing all of the other mesh networking functionality that k8s needs.

Put a final way, I still don't know what kube-router does or roles it can take, that Cilium can't also do or provide. But I'm not deep on them and am mostly replying here in the hopes that you will fill in a missing gap in my knowledge. :). Thanks!

* Kids are getting sick in my state, from the measles, because parents refuse to vaccine kids that are perfectly capable of receiving the vaccination.

* Kids, across the country, in and near anti-vax communities, are contracting whooping cough. ITS A FACT. SORRY.

* Whooping cough is "violent". Maybe one of you can show me a video of a child with whooping chough that you wouldn't call "violent". How about one that you don't call "horrificly violent", even?

* That I could be misreading, though the parent commenter has indeed confirmed that my comment is an accurate read.

So? We just don't like having it pointed out, or what?

Also, big shoutout to HN for "rate-limiting" me from being able to reply to the undoubtedly good-faith commenter who is openly suggesting we let the children of anti-vaxxers just die; the one commenting in a subthread about herd immunity who clearly has no idea what herd immunity is. My comment remains positive, and there are no rule violation.

I engaged in good faith (I certainly didn't think they were going to openly call for the deaths of anti-vax kids or act like it was a serious position to hold).

But hey, it's HN, so I should know that being offended at implicitly violent attitudes or calling out people's bullshit here would automatically land me in trouble.

I suspect you didn't mean that, but I think we need to take this more seriously, again, per the grandparent, given the broader public health risk that this movement plays, particularly outside its adherents.

All they have to do is throw handwavey bullshit out there until enough people doubt and do stupid made-up stuff like spacing out the vaccines for some unknown, unmeasurable benefit.

There are people in my state, in the "best country on Earth", dying from preventable diseases because of OTHER PEOPLES' pseudo-scientific crap and "beliefs". I just can't take it. When are we going to drop what we're doing and pour the billions we need into public education? - funding, reform, curriculum, emphasis on personal finance and logical reasoning skills. Pick a topic - climate change, flat earth, vaccines/autism, all of this irrationality starts with education.

Also, insurance companies go out of their way to incentivize and encourage proactive health measures, especially for younger groups; given all credible scientific research and data, and barring some other weird conspiracy, it seems reasonable to think they're encouraging vaccines because they keep people from getting preventable diseases and suffering miserable deaths.

Please correct me if this is disingenuous, but I feel like you basically just said you're used to having VCs subsidize your entertainment platforms and that you've extrapolated that entitlement into a justification for never paying for any entertainment acquired over the Internet.

At the very least, it seems obvious that it's unsustainable and likely that creative artists will be the first squeezed. Also, I don't think this explanation combat's the parent's observations about spending habits at all.

(And while I'm being curious of those folks, what their expectations are around virtio-wl going forward, upstream, etc?)

I think about that comment every month or so when another MBP article pops up here. I'd be grateful for a link if anyone knows the HN comment I'm thinking of.

I can't believe that I could get free cPanel/PHP/wordpress hosting when I was a teenager, and people will live with a fullscreen nag ad for their company blog 17 years later.

I just don't get it. It's not a good look when I go to read a technical article from [startup], and wind up staring at a fullscreen popup begging me to signup for a Medium account. Really?

I'm adding it to my list of lessons that apparently people have to learn first hand - make personal backups [no, really, it's not that hard], use a password manager [no, really, it's easier than not], don't use GoDaddy [they were just on HN again in the last few weeks]... and don't use thin little SaaS that don't do anything and just want to posses your content and your users and eventually go under or go dark, leaving you holding the bag.

I uh, I guess I'll bite. How? If anything, I think it's funny to imagine it as an interviewing exercise to suss out people with delusions of grandeur who have lived a life free of real-world consequences.

They basically had a failed FEMA campsite without water or electricity, or effectively, shelter. It absolutely blows my mind and shakes my understanding of humanity to think that people got sucked into that or that there would be folks lining up to get suckered again, or that people somehow think it was ever achievable based on the timeline and current human time-travel technology.

While I understand Billy's "charm" and even how to use it at times, it's amazing how enough of it will convince people to believe absolutely any delusional fantasy. Partying with a bunch of Insta influencers glued to their phone sounds like hell, anyway. Who doesn't want to hang out with the grown adult proudly bragging about urinating on all of the bedding?

edit: wow, Dell's BIOS vendor must have really butchered the last batch, here's another one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/aiwj7u/do_not_use_del...

I contact support when something is broken. There is a critical bug, or there is something down, or there is a physical defect. Every single time, it's just me getting jerked around, often times for an hour or more.

Just in the last week: an hour with Google Support with them insisting that I factory reset my phone for a hardware failure (hours of work to re-setup), or my ISP insisting that the "limits are set in the lines" and that a technician would have to come out to inspect their own modem so that they can determine why I'm being throttled to 10% of my paid speed, rather than 90% which is what I'm apparently entitled to. I hate that I have to get pushy/mean and insist that, Google, either send me a replacement or start processing a refund. I have no idea what to do with my ISP, they seem incompetent at every layer that I have any way to contact and they have a non-compete negotiated with their competition so I have no other options; their technician based had nothing to suggest and agreed with my conclusions.

I have also never had a chat experience where I didn't feel like I had to very carefully word my sentences to make myself understood, or where I wasn't waiting an exorbinant amount of time for the other side to read/reply. I can't fathom how peek-ahead would help any of these custom service experiences.

There's nothing specified anywhere that allows an application to interrogate an RP about the available scopes. I just don't see how fine-grained resource access can be done with OIDC without requiring the user to grant much coarser access first. I found a draft spec once but it was abandoned and the author didn't reply to an email I sent...

That would effectively mean I have zero ports free when charging and with my permanent Yubikey plugged in. It's never been an issue in practice, but I also wish that Dell would remove the ambiguity and make them all TB3 ports.

Just a heads up, I have a lot more to complain about the XPS13, but it's basically exclusively BIOS issues [1]. I think they also need to improve the heatsink/paste, but maybe they have for the 9380 model.

[1] The BIOS releases are not always in increasing version numbers. They're repeatedly re-released versions, or released versions from different old servicing branches, etc. Someone commented that they thought Dell was sort of doing wide-scale A/B testing by releasing different versions and collecting feedback. Seems a bit presumptive but it's been in my head.

Anyway, I'm super curious what someone is doing with Rust and Zelda. How do I learn more without Twitter?

Looks like this might be it? and then maybe I'm just missing out on images and videos that are only in some ephemeral tweet? https://github.com/CryZe/WindWakerBetaQuest
