Is it? I don't get any intuitive connection from "telnet" to "shell access over the network", personally. Although, by the same token I would be open to reusing the rsh name; "remote shell" does seem obvious.

SSH is 30 years old; it's fine

Release notes would inform my view of project health and priorities

As of Debian 12, they should include the non-free firmware by default, and even before that you didn't have to jump through a lot of hoops to add support

I dunno, I could probably be convinced to try a new tool purely on the basis of not having to deal with installing pytorch

Sure, take your pick

In what sense is the steam deck more console than pc? I agree that there's convenience in it being a single target for people to work on, but it lets you run anything you want even on the stock operating system, and you can trivially replace that at will

> I guess it just has an HDMI capture chip on-board. If you have a spare USB port, these are under $20 everywhere.

Any decent ones? I own a few that I use for managing (semi)headless machines and they all manage maybe 2-3fps

How's it abusing anything? It's an Android app that works fine with the default Android memory allocator.

LineageOS is more distinctive

A pro-AI fork would be nice for both "sides"; we could experimentally see whether it helps or hurts. In a few months-years, we should be able to see whether it's faster/buggier/better/worse.

Honestly, kinda? It'd be rude and cause a performance regression, but it shouldn't break anything.

People are more inclined to contribute when it's easy than when it's hard. What of it?

I'm torn; the old name was awkward, but renaming is a painful breaking change. Oh well, it's done now.

Well, I've read worse AI articles.

Failing to catch the cheaters does punish the honest students, who in your approach get a worse GPA.

I do think there's some interesting space to be explored in capability-based systems, but even then I think it would mostly end up looking similar to how existing systems are, just with one more element added

I literally linked a time when they intervened.

Notably, this is still cutting out the middleman and bypassing the extra review that that entails. It's fine as long as you trust everybody involved in publishing the repo, which is probably fine here, but a thing to keep in mind.

True. And especially for that use, I can imagine that the slow return around is actually a breaking problem. I think there are relatively few apps that need that kind of quick update, and I'm more concerned with malicious authors than that, but it would depend on precisely what you need out of your apps.

Universal compatibility only helps if you can actually reach the access point over the most crowded channels in the apartment building.

Yes, obviously. The advantage is in how easy it is to port software to the board, and how much work you need to do to get any given amount of functionality.

> Because nobody uses it except a handful of uber-nerds who can put up with wasting hours of time for "altruism".

What? I'm not sure how you would manage to waste hours installing a single app and then using it to install other apps, and I'm not using it because of "altruism" (what does that even mean?), I'm using it because it's the best way to get apps.

Even if you 100% trust Android's sandboxing and permissions, which is... not a choice I would personally make, I like it when my apps don't have scams or ads internally, either. I'm not worried about Grandma downloading any app off F-Droid; I am a little concerned about what happens if she can download any app being pushed by any random website.

I use F-Droid precisely because I don't want that. When https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38505229 happened - and when the same thing happens again in the future, because it will - I explicitly want F-Droid doing some basic due diligence on updates before shipping them to me. Cutting out the middleman is the opposite of what I want.

Like https://github.com/Hoverth/fdroidcl ? :)

Alright, what would it take to make a completely open source firmware for the pi? I think there was some prior effort that got discontinued...

Okay, then sell it until you make a million bucks then open source it.

You know that F stands for free as in freedom not beer?

> So the NAS runs Kubuntu 24.04 with ZFS,

I broadly approve, but why Kubuntu? Isn't it headless?
