fs111··on Sovereign Tech Agency invests €500k in Flatpak
> The STF is run by politologists with no clue. They fund flashy web apps that they "understand" and packaging.

That is complete nonsense. Where do you get this "information"?

https://www.sovereign.tech/tech lists OpenSSL, rusttls, Junit, pipewire, samba, varnish-cache, curl, Fortran, even friggin GNU coreutils and others. None of those are "flashy web apps".

For the love of god, please google, give us personal access tokens and not this Oauth madness inside GCP. It is impossible to get that in any big enterprise.
fs111··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything
I have a little terminal llm thing that has a --bofh switch which make it talk like the BOFH. Very refereshing to interact with it :-)
fs111··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
The only thing that ever really worked for me is taskwarrior.org. It is super easy to get started and can be made more sophisticated as you. I live in the terminal most of the time anyway so that makes it a natural fit.

> I never heard of any certificate authority offering that.

DigiCert does. That is where 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 get their valid certificates from

No, it is not DNS over HTTPS it is DNS over TLS, which is different.

Zero Trust is a marketing label that executives can seek out and buy a thing for because it is super-hot thing to have these days. That's mostly it.

Curious to hear who is using it still. I experimented with it 2010/2011 IIRC but never build a real project with it.
fs111··on Amazon's exabyte-scale migration from Apache Spark to Ray on EC2
I have no idea what any of the google tech has to do with anything here.

Quoting from the original spark paper:

> Spark is built on top of Mesos [16, 15], a “cluster operat- > ing system” that lets multiple parallel applications share > a cluster in a fine-grained manner and provides an API > for applications to launch tasks on a cluster

https://people.csail.mit.edu/matei/papers/2010/hotcloud_spar...

Note how Matei Zaharia - the inventor of spark - is also on the mesos paper:

https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~alig/papers/mesos.pdf

fs111··on Amazon's exabyte-scale migration from Apache Spark to Ray on EC2
Well spark was really a showcase Project for mesos when it was created. Now everyone knows a lot more

fs111··on A curious phenomenon called 'Etak'
When I started working at TeleAtlas Germany (former Robert Bosch Data; forever a part of TomTom now) in 2005 we still had production processes on the MapEngine technology coming from Etak. We had in-house python bindings that allowed for very productive development. It is fun to see this mentioned here today.

fs111··on OpenBSD/ARM64 on Hetzner Cloud
The same can be said for distros like debian. Seems like a weak argument pro-BSD to me.
