Could a global license system be implemented to solve that problem?

I'm sad that the SFCHA proposition [1] could not be petitioned successfully for last year's ballot in San Francisco. I thought it was an interesting one, with a progressive property tax scheme that would be used by the city to acquire housing for people under the median income (among other things).

I had troubles with my memory (4*16GB with a 2950X) until I realized it was configured in 1T command rate by default. Things appear to be rock stable in 2T. Anyway, yeah, memory is more tricky than it should on Ryzen.

Doesn't buildbot have dynamic workers implemented as latent workers? [1]

What do you mean by underpowered buildbot steps? Are you implementing your own step classes?

I would love to do frontend web development but the current high-churn Javascript ecosystem makes me dizzy; this is probably a naive question but will it be possible to do web-development without integrating in the Javascript ecosystem using WebAssembly and Rust someday?

This was really coming from practical experience, but no offense taken.

If you rely on your type being "flexible" I would argue that you have a design problem.

Afaik the whole purpose of DragonflyBSD is HAMMER so no.

I use MoinMoin for that (https://moinmo.in/) it's pretty awesome (and portable).

Right now I just run the whole thing out of a Mercurial repo (it's easy to use the MoinMoin codebase as a sub-repo [1]), but I'm planning to do a setup with a container so that the data can directly live in any (Dropbox) folder or repo.

The cost is definitely bandwidth, Snapchat doesn't have much of a storage problem as snaps have an actual TTL.

Nice, maybe I'll consider this for dogfooding, thank you for the explanations!

Thank you! Yes, I was referring to my work on lightsd.

I didn't know about Suse's OBS until this thread, I guess I need to look into it. I have been building my own CI/CD pipeline on top of Buildbot so far. It's a PITA, but leaves a lot of room for creativity, hopefully it will be rewarding down the road.

I don't know about the -git thing for PKGBUILD, what's the syntax/documentation?

While I agree with a lot of this as well, I feel like downstream packaging has a lot of issues.

I'm working on a project (licensed under the GPLv3) and I have decided to be my own maintainer, i.e: building and distributing packaged versions of my project all by myself:

1. my project is young and unknown, I have no choice but to package it myself (I really like AUR by the way);

2. it lets me write and maintain step-by-step documentation;

3. it allows me to enforce a consistent interface for my project across operating systems, I know my project can be used the exact same way on any operating system I have packaged it for;

4. I have had bad experiences with maintainers having no idea what they are doing and completely breaking my software;

5. It allows me to build a full release pipeline including both source and binary releases.

The first point is sort of a big deal, having packages is important to drive adoption, therefore I need to invest my time in that. I'm not gonna wait for some random folks to package it a few years down the road (if that ever happens).

My work is not incompatible with downstream packaging, but I do intend to work closely with (or directly maintain) any downstream package.

I really feel like this is sort of a catch-22.

I literally taught my younger brother how to pip install --upgrade youtube-dl from cmd.exe and then use it.

Isn't the ability to sell their phone in other markets (e.g: APAC) a clear desire to win? I'm not gonna buy or recommend a phone if I know my competitors can tap into it anytime?

That's what addrlen in all socket functions and struct sockaddr_storage are for?

That sucks, I really liked using Pidgin/Adium with Facebook chat.

That's good to know. I don't feel like my original question was answered though: why the Eero repeater would get a better signal than another good WiFi solution at the same location? How do you get a strong signal to repeat from?

If you need a repeater somewhere well, like your laptop, your repeater isn't going to have a good connection with the base station. Most homes make it really hard to deploy WiFi properly, especially in the 5ghz band, I don't see how they are solving this. The only way is in-wall Ethernet and different access points, hopefully they also support that.

Yeah, that's why collectd supports authentication and encryption (https://www.collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.con...). I can't really speak about Graphtie since I'm less used to it; but in this case you can decide to not expose the Graphite port and only expose the collectd port.

The bayfiles link is not working, wondering if this is fake or not.

Oh, I'm not aware of this bug, are you talking about https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/339 ? In any case, don't hesitate to open a new issue on github!

You mean in the screencast? Well, I'm using `PS1="%# "` here, then I'm running zsh inside tmux.

You don't need to have btrfs to run Docker (you need aufs which is included in Debian and Ubuntu).

Yes, in the end images are an entire filesystem and can be large if you installed a lot of packages (or very small, e.g: busybox). Yes, you can freeze it: you can commit a container as a new image. Yes, you can push it to a server (https://index.docker.io/). Yes, you can use the same image for development, staging and production; you'll launch different container from the same image that's it.

We also open-sourced a good part of it here: https://github.com/dotcloud/sandbox/.

Thanks for pointing that out, the 500 error should be fixed!

WYSIWYG editors are not an example of intuitiveness either, most people don't get the concept of Style in MS Word like editors.

For that, I find the hierarchy macros of Latex much simpler to apprehend as well as lot of goodies: footnotes, references, hyperref, mathematic mode, bibliography management…

Also, and it's blocker for lot of my use cases, Latex is version control friendly. The WYSIWYG editors are not.

Changing fonts may become a PITA and I recommend to use the koma-script classes for that (btw, the whole system of packages and the build system are a mess), but at least people can't use Comic Sans.

Thanks :)

"A really lightweight Linux distro", this doesn't makes sense at all. The Linux kernel is the same for everybody, it depends on what your are running on it.

Pick your favorite distro, just install a tiny window manager, avoid running background applications and that's it.

If you don't have a favorite distro, then all depends on your Linux skill and/or the time you have. Good distros have already been given in this thread.

It reminds me the famous libcaca:

One of my favorite application of the libcaca is neercs:
