These boomers blame everyone but themselves: the committee, the designers, and the implementers. Klaus Iglberger insists the language isn't the problem, we "just" need to teach the users better. Obviously, with more teaching, the safety problems and complexity problems will go away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN0U4P4qmRY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjO76ygwGdA

He has such inane suggestions as removing all "raw" or plain for loops in favor of std::algorithm functions and ranges. These approaches are absolute ass for writing, reading, maintaining, and debugging. Trivial examples are easily noted as being absurdly longer, and they scale horrifically with complexity (not that they look a whole lot better in Rust). This is first and foremost an issue with the semantics and syntax of the language. Secondly, these approaches still don't help with lifetime issues. Klaus, and so many others in this space, are obsessed with blaming raw pointers. Raw pointers are a single symptom of the issue - and frankly, it's not a good argument for them either. He has no valid advice for dealing with older libraries which you must use which use raw pointers and other unsafe constructs (let alone POSIX APIs). I can only believe that based on Klaus's suggestions that he just wants to sell more books and training sessions.

If you watch these conference videos from people like Klaus, Jon Kalb, and Bjarne, it becomes painfully obvious that they either have their heads buried in the sand, or that they live in an alternate reality. Who the fuck thinks that it's not a language problem that competent use requires hundreds to thousands of hours of training? This isn't even getting into all the retarded fuck-ups of formal syntax and bad library designs that they love to hand-wave away, or the fact that implementations can't keep up with the half-baked designs that have been added since C++20.

The way C and C++ do pointers and for loops is fundamentally defective.
>>
>>107539278
Nope. They do them the right way.
>>
>>107540370
Real for loops are loops over a range of numbers (or objects), like Fortran and Algol style loops. There are computers with instructions for that style of loop, that add a number to a register and compare to a limit, and if less than the limit, it branches back to repeat the loop. There is also the related instruction that loops a set number of times by decrementing a register and jumping back if not zero. The C "for loop" is actually just a while loop and C doesn't actually have for loops. Arrays should not decay to pointers and a pointer should be allowed to include whatever information is necessary to point to an object, and not be forced to be merely an address. This means pointers to arrays should be allowed to include the array bounds, pointers to a bit should be allowed to include the actual position of the bit too, so it works on computers that don't have bit addressing, and all other pointers should include whatever else is necessary. Look at how traditional languages like Lisp, Fortran, BASIC, Ada, Algol 60 and 68, Pascal, and PL/I do it. The designers of those languages are much smarter because they figured out the solution to that problem before it was a problem, by doing it right from the beginning. C is simply a case of ignoring the established wisdom just to be different, like trannies do.

cpus are worth getting used, same for ram (try to know its historic), cases & gpus. i woulndnt buy used storage for my main solution, but they are worth sometimes, specially if they are serving as secondary on your machine.

id avoid mobo and psus, but it all depends; i think the consensus among some is that mobos last forever (like cpus) & that its the first thing to break among others.

>>107536793

Yeah, that's about right. U could maybe risk a bulk storage deal, but its risky af. Where I live, used HDD are more expensive than new large storage capacity drives (usd/TB). I'd call them idiots, but they sell so I guess I can't blame them.

I'd toss a broad net for everything though. As you do your research you should be able to piece your DYI pc together. Also you often get very good deals on people selling a big bundle of parts. Extra cabling can often be really nice if you expect to be tinkering. I got so much now that I can sort mix things up a lot, which is very liberating.

Also remember that you often very far with JUST a GPU upgrade on a PC platform. One thing I regret was not getting specialized part everytime i upgraded such that I would have ended up with parts that I could use in future stuff for homelab etc. If you're a poor, get a low power CPU for ur future homelab. Ur probably playing low performance games anyways.

READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

>is Rust a good replacement for C++?
it doesn't have inheritance or template programming, will make your life harder with cyclical data structures.
The library ecosystem is also more limited. Gamedev is a famous example where C++ is just way more mature.

On the other hand if you need multi-threading, want to escape from segfaults, need to model complicated systems (state machines, error handling) then Rust can shine.

C is one of the least elegant languages. Rust is definitely more elegant than C.

That's what C programmers are like and a lot of them only like C because they haven't tried any other languages. Most Rust programmers came from C and C++, so they have more C and C++ experience than most C programmers.

They're not powerful at all. They are extremely weak and useless, and actually weaken everything built on top of them. That's why you need millions of lines of code on top of them to do anything and most of that code is about finding ways around the C and Unix brain damage.

On the topic of Freedom Hosting, does anybody really believe it was run by one man and wasn't a honeypot? I find it hard to believe, given how many Tor hidden services were hosted on it for FREE, with as many DBs as you wanted and an FTP service, and the most you got in terms of restriction was a mild mannered warning on the homepage about not using too much disk space and bandwidth. Also, the only way to contact the owner was a link to a thread on Onionforum which had shut down a few years before Freedom Hosting finally went under.

In regards to data collection, to play devils advocate, I don't see why we as a species shouldn't basically combine all our data.
I would rather it all be more transparent and better understood by the common person, more public than privately traded, and other some such. But truly its hard for me to see it as purely negative when the few people in control, use their control to basically obsess over the public majority and appeal to them, regardless if that's for altruistic purposes or pure greed to get their dollars. Intentional or incidental it's a mix of both to the same end.

I'm not so sure. To me it kind of feels like the majority of people are basically subjugating the top's direction and this could be a factor in everything getting worse because the majority lack the ability to direct, think long term,

What's your perspective on it?
