So just got into linux and decided to install debian after reviewing the other stable newbfriendly distros (ubuntu, mint, fedora, etc). Decided not to mess with the corporate leaning ones and settled on debian, but just found out theyre also hopping on the popular kill-all-straight-white-goys bandwagon. Should i be concerned and prepare to switch to something else, or is it just a nothingburger and debian should still be trusted? If the former, what distro should i consider instead? From what i read it seems like void linux ticks all the boxes(stable, non-corpo, non-political) besides the newbfriendly part.

I think it’s a good skill to have, but I wouldn’t focus on it too much. It’s kind of boring unless you enjoy solving sudoku puzzles in your spare time. I only ever use it for game hacking and malware analysis. I couldn’t imagine trying to reverse an entire program for something as autistic as backward compatibility.

How do websites store billion of accounts in a database, won't they cost a lot of storage?

You can store billions of accounts in a sqlite database.
>>
>>106873572
>You store user name and encrypted password in a database
You would hash the password using e.g. argon2id.

>You validate it in server side, generate some kind of oauth jwt code and sent it to the user
You can use a jwt and lots of people do, but it's bad for auth because you can't cancel it on the spot for that user. Better to send a session token and store the hash of it in the db. And it's ok to use e.g. sha-256 for this since the session token will be randomly generated server side.
>>

>won't they cost a lot of storage?
not really no
text is very light; site with couple dozen million users and a few billion rows of data here and weighing in around 480GB for the DB

actually mysql is far more prevalent for large websites, anon
postgres' whole value proposition is in its extensions, and at any serious scale you use more specialized datastores for those kinds of things
eg: timescaledb; great for low-scale time series data, but is utter ass (by about 2 orders of magnitude) than something like clickhouse
and for actual insane scale, basically everyone runs vitess (ie mysql) or cassandra, and nothing else even remotely compares

>>106873806

>the content of a JWT is already typically the combination of a session id and some user info
and before someone has a fit over this: signed cookies are WAY older as a concept than JWTs. the whole JW{K, T, ...} thing is just a formalization of good auth practices people had been doing for years
and not put into the "Cookie" header because browsers have utterly retarded policies with how those works due to 20 years of abuse and vulnerabilities
but absolutely nothing in JWT is new
if one thing is kinda new it'd be the oauth spec, and none of it needs JWTs specifically to work; you could just as easily implement it with a different transport syntax/format; the world just picked JWT because half the web is JS and that was good enough ™, if verbose

that's what they will do once 4chan refuses to pay

countries have many reciprocal laws and laws which can be called on by foreign/outside parties. not everywhere and i would guess the USA 1A trumps everything. i worked for a hong kong company and we had EU GDPR things we had to follow even though the EU had no jurisdiction there were HK regulations which enforced the EU GDPR and made some of it applicable. this was not direct HK GDPR but a reciprocal "EU passed a law and you have responsibilities under X and Y".
ignoring 4chan is american, the UK law does reach farther than the UK border because countries join together to fuck people.

Reminder this law is weighted in favour of big social media platforms which is where kids are seeing all the harmful content and small platforms like 4chan and regular old forums are suffering because the big guys can bribe/comply their way through all the additional costs and kill all the competition.

>that's what they will do once 4chan refuses to pay
And that's what'll happen. The UK is free to block 4chan if they want, but 4chan isn't a company within UK jurisdiction.

Linus, Brodie and all other onions redditors are completely in the wrong, as usual.
When you have high IQ talented people, like Elon Musk, Drew Devault, or, indeed, Kent Overstreet, who want to move fast, you LET them develop at their own pace. You don't cripple them just to appease low performers

That is the problem with the Linux kernel, everything moves at the speed of the weakest (slowest) chain, and Linus is too dumb to understand that those slowest chains are the problem, not the excellent programmers like Kent Overstreet who are just leagues ahead in terms of IQ.
Linus not understanding this is why Linux is still subpar to proprietary on many fronts, despite massive funding and corporate involvement.

BTW, Kent Overstreet is the author of BCacheFS, currently the most advanced filesystem for GNU/Linux.
