deknos··on Lessons from open source in the Mexican government
Not really. I worked there. We had no budget issues. The dismissal was political.

The issue was propaganda. There are even rumors that Dieter Reiter told someone that he regretted moving away from LiMux after he had to pay so much money for IT.

deknos··on Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser
Which browserbased p2p file transfer tool works with STUN and TURN servers? and if possible, also with an cli option?
deknos··on Ask HN: Would you fund Mozilla to become independent of Google?
Yes. I would.
deknos··on Spark-TTS: Text-2-Speech Model Single-Stream Decoupled Tokens [pdf]
Is this really free software? I am really looking for _GOOD_ TTS software which is maintainable, really opensource (for every usage) and can do english/german/spanish/french/russian.
deknos··on Writing a Gimp 3.0 Plugin
if it's so easy, fork and build it :)

"Seamless vector/PDF editing" seems especially easy.

deknos··on MapTCHA, the open-source CAPTCHA that improves OpenStreetMap [video]
please make an AGPL3+ paid service out of this, so companies can use this instead of google xD
deknos··on I Paid $70 for an AI Boyfriend. It Was So Worth It
> I hope we can all strive to be more empathetic and emotionally supportive than ChatGPT.

only, if there's a opensource'd local version. You cannot trust a webservice

deknos··on OpenStreetMap Calendar
let's make a list of all the lists, here the ones i know:

* https://github.com/Everything-Open-Source/open-source-events * https://foss.events

deknos··on The Nix NGI Team: Advancing Open Source with Nix
Maybe they should fix existing packages first. cough https://archive.fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1...
deknos··on Stargate Project: SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, MGX to build data centers
This is so much money with which we could actually solve problems in the world. maybe even stop wars which break out because of scarcity issues.

maybe i am getting to old or to friendly to humans, but it's staggering to me how the priorities are for such things.

deknos··on ChatGPT Saved Chats: Save and organize your important conversations in ChatGPT
is there something like that for firefox?
deknos··on F*: A proof oriented general purpose programming language
Nice, but as long as at least core and minimal standard library is not really opensource, well maintained and first class citizen on linux, it will not get real distribution.

Even C# suffers from that, though it is a nice language.

For a programming language to have success it needs to be

* opensource * well maintained * first class citizen on win/lin/mac

deknos··on Are Immutable Linux Distros right for you?
I like immutable distros. What i do not like is that developers and maintainers do not give possibilities to admins and powerusers to build a immutable core themselves. This removes choice and learning experiences for the customer/user/admin.

Maybe this will finally change.

deknos··on Botan: Crypto and TLS for Modern C++
Why? It's better if it's in one place and the overall quality is maintained there, than having different libraries with different authors, quality levels and guidelines.
deknos··on Haskell vs. Ada vs. C++ vs. an Experiment in Prototyping Productivity (1994) [pdf]
they should redo this and add rust. not because rust is the new hype, but productivity and security also depends on the ecosystem. and all have their different stances, issues and points.
deknos··on Mathics 7.0 – Open-source alternative to Mathematica
why do i think this will be integrated into sagemath? :D
deknos··on Nodezator is a generalist Python node editor
I would recommend you build a flatpak or guix package for this :)
deknos··on OpenWRT One Released: First Router Designed Specifically for OpenWrt
IMHO: What we need is not another Router, there are already plenty out there which work with OpenWRT.

What we need are more "level3-"switches with 24/48 ports which work well with OpenWRT.

The only really good thing about this is the price.

deknos··on Epic Allows Internet Archive to Distribute Unreal and Unreal Tournament Forever
Is there a working 64 bit linux version for Unreal/ut 2004? :(

We should make a petition that they opensource the code at least for these two ones. i still have the CDRoms.

i even would buy it again, if that would make this more likely.

That being said, xonotic is a bit like it (and opensource) and there are maps like Facing Worlds available, but sadly no good npc / npc-way-mapping for it.

deknos··on Epic Allows Internet Archive to Distribute Unreal and Unreal Tournament Forever
i would buy instantly if it works on linux on 64 bit machines. all of them.
deknos··on Practical Radio Circuits (2003) [pdf]
Signatures are okay though.

And you can do encryption, when you have to control remote devices which belong to you.

and internet still can be non commercial.

deknos··on Show HN: Ezcrypt – A file encryption tool (simple, strong, public domain)
what does this provide which cannot be done with openssl, which is available for most systems?
deknos··on Show HN: RF Hunter – Find hidden cameras and other devices
do you have examples of cameras or smartphone which do not have IR filters?
deknos··on Transitioning the Use of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Lengths
SHA-1 is around long enough, that they build precomputation tables. NSA and other state-backed organizations have the capacity to do that. The community should at least up the ante to 256 bit to make things harder.
deknos··on Transitioning the Use of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Lengths
What's libgpg? i only know libgpg-error and libgcrypt.
deknos··on Transitioning the Use of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Lengths
On the one hand i am glad that ECB dies officially as a mode on the other hand i wonder what NIST officially recommends when you want to encrypt data that's shorter than one block. xD

regarding finally transitioning away from SHA1: about fucking time :D

deknos··on Send: Open-source fork of Firefox Send
it would be nice, if i could upload something and say, okay, this list of emailadresses get the link of it.
deknos··on Send: Open-source fork of Firefox Send
Is there a version of this, where i can allow emailadresses to upload things/download things/share things with other emailaddresses?

Like firefox send but some version of authentication via email? I am aware that i would need a way to send emails so the emailaddresses get authentication

deknos··on Study: Dark matter doesn't exist, the universe is 27B years old
> It introduces arbitrary parameters without physical justification.

you could argue the same about dark matter/energy.

> It cannot be tested or falsified by current or near-future experiments.

Did we actually directly observe dark matter or dark energy now?

deknos··on Source-Available Is Meaningless
How do you know, that any application you run is actually the source you read?

How do you know, that the application is actually working if you cannot build it properly (because i see cases of buildrecipes missing)
