The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

I'm not a computer expert, but can't you just have a smart home made of smart devices that connect to a local network server that's within your own home and does not connect to the Internet and cannot be accessed / controlled from outside your home network? Is that really so difficult to program? Why must everything connect to the Internet?
>>107833958Yeah it's called home assistant
>>107833958>Okay Google, make me a kebab sandwhich
>>107833958Yes, you can.No, it's not difficult.Because requiring a subscription is more profitable, and normies are retarded enough to fall for it.
>>107833958It is possible, and was for a long time. Look into X10 Home Automation. Control it with with DOS, Windows, or even over Wifi with an Android or Apple app.
>>107833958Look up "KNX". That's how professionals are doing it.Stop buying the consoomer crap.
For the first time in a long time, learning/working is fun again.
>>107801967It's so much faster than digging through dozens of blogs, or asking reddit, or getting on a forum full of fat miserable nobodies that feel important because they know a bit of technical information and have a shit attitude towards anyone asking for help. See: any IT forum, creativecow, adobe help forums... pieces of shit that do nothing to help people and just see it as an opportunity to talk down to people while stroking their ego. Meanwhile AI will tell me how to solve my problem immediately. Long gone are the days of posting about an issue with a piece of technology, and only getting responses from fanboys defending it and refusing to help or admit its glaring issues.
>>107801957That's always a risk when I ask it questions during learning. It seems pretty reliable so far but that's at the back of my mind
>>107832983School getting in the way of education is nothing new, anon.
>>107801565Gemini has been a blessing in my life, I feel like kissing every Google employee on the cheek, despite the Mossad data mining spyware, it's a fantastic tool that has helped me learn a ton of invaluable info thay I feel like would take insanely far too long to learn otherwise, it's definitely limited, sometimes crap, repeats itself but all-in-all, "good for most and for the most-part", it's not a one-size-fits -all solution for every problem but for the average person? A blessing.
If AI gets you to start learning something you put off, even if it hallucenates and fills your head with horseshit, that's preferable to you wasting your fucking life doing jack shit every day. At least (hopefully) people will correct you or you can figure out what you screwed up down the line. At least you took a fucking shot at something.Fucking losers in this thread trying to discourage people from using AI to learn shit are absolutely retarded.

the "decentralized" fediverse is as scam.
>>107835512aw sweet a schizo thread
>>107836916Just a friendly reminder :)
>>107837273The Pseudo-Decentralization of Mastodon – Just Another IllusionMastodon and the broader Fediverse are frequently sold as the holy grail of “real” decentralization – in contrast to evil centralized platforms. In reality, this is mostly marketing.The largest instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mas.to) are all controlled by the same legal entity: the Mastodon gGmbH / corporation, led by Eugen Rochko. Two or three of the biggest nodes = one single boss. That’s not decentralization; that’s just a slightly distributed company structure.Sure, right-wing instances like Truth Social exist (or Gab, or others). But they rarely federate meaningfully with the big leftist-leaning main instances. In practice you get two (or three) almost completely separate, ideologically closed networks that only talk to their political allies. That’s not open federation – that’s allied dictatorships communicating with each other.At the end of the day every single instance is still a miniature centralized dictatorship with an owner who can ban, defederate, censor, or simply shut down the server whenever they feel like it. Mastodon.social, Truth Social, Reddit, X – structurally they are the same thing: one admin, one set of rules, one kill switch.The Fediverse is “decentralized” in exactly the same sense that Reddit, X and 4chan are decentralized: you can choose which dictator you want to live under. That’s the whole difference.

Hytale uses QUIC for multiplayer. What do you think about it? Is this the first reasonably popular game that implements multiplayer over QUIC instead of using TCP or their own custom protocol on top of UDP?

>>107836121I haven't worked on game servers but I did work on enterprise message passing shit where I had to look into the potential impact of encryption. From what I remember large numbers of small messages received very little impact while large messages carrying large payloads did show quite a lot of extra CPU overhead. That mostly happened because large payloads moved very large amounts of data around while small payloads hit other I/O bottlenecks and overall data rates were much lower despite a far higher message rate.Ultimately I'd be pretty sure a game server use case would be more on the large number of packets with relatively small payloads side, no? Like how high could data rate per player reach?
>>107833018I've never played minecraft though
we hae webRTC thoughbeit
>>107836460Huh, that's interesting. I'll need to check that out in more depth.>Ultimately I'd be pretty sure a game server use case would be more on the large number of packets with relatively small payloads side, no? Like how high could data rate per player reach?Decided to get some numbers since I initially wanted to say "a lot" for games like minecraft, but technology marches on and "a lot" from 20 years ago is "nothing" today. For typical shooter-like games, Gaffer targets 256kbps limit per player (https://gafferongames.com/post/snapshot_compression/) and for wow-likes ithare targets 160kbps (http://ithare.com/mmog-world-states-and-reducing-traffic/). Minecraft apparently manages to be only 600kbps to 5,000kbps for cases involving chunk streaming. So maybe if you wanted to cram a lot of players into a single box (sensible architectural decision since horizontal scaling introduces the problem of unreliable networks and higher latencies between regions) it might be a problem, but for the typical ~100-1000 players a box, that's only ~25-250Mbps for a typical game. When my own game gets to the point that stress testing & optimising the bandwidth becomes possible, I'll share findings in /gedg/.
In hindsight, Microsoft should have just quietly switched Internet Explorer to Chromium instead of wasting time with Edge and having two browsers running at the same time. The same with not migrating all of the control panel all at once.We could have had all the web browsers converge on Webkit in 2008, now we have a mess. I still think Firefox should dump gecko as too many websites don't work properly anymore.
>>107834378>Microsoft should have just quietly switched Internet Explorer to Chromium instead of wasting time with Edge and having two browsers running at the same time.EdgeHTML was the fastest browser engine at the time of its death. The only reason they dropped it was Google fucking with all their sites to constantly break it.We'll never have scrolling as smooth as it was in old Edge.

Let's get a BSD thread going. Are you using BSD on any of your machines and why did you choose it over linux? I installed FreeBSD on my thinkpad last night and it seems to work well, but what can I do with this that I cannot do on linux? So far the only interesting feature I've found is ZFS. Don't get me wrong, it feels almost like linux and the pkg-package manager is nice and fast. I guess I might as well keep using this as my OS on my laptop, but I fail to see any benefits when compared to linux. Maybe if you like jails more than VM's and containers, then that's one interesting feature for sure because AFAIK jails can be way more secure than containers. Oh and the IceWM package seems to be nicely themed for FreeBSD, so points for that too, overall packages feel more precisely tailored than on most linux distros.
I’m running web servers and a mail server on FreeBSD and it’s great. Upgrades are a breeze. Jails are easy to work with once you get the hang of networking with them. Pf is easy to configure. ZFS is great. Filesystem hierarcy is an improvement over GNU/Linux. Performance is great. Documentation is great.The single biggest thing is lack of surprises and at least feels less bloated compared to GNU/Linux.>>107834620OpenBSD on desktop doesn’t seem so appealing to me but it looks as a sexy alternative for servers despite the worse performance. My small scale bizniz shit probably won’t have any noticeable difference though.
>>107832616I think OpenBSD is a cool system, wish Linux had an equivalent like that other than maybe Whonix. It's a shame they used such a terrible license though.>>107832735If you're running it on desktop, other than ZFS and some incremental improvements, I don't understand why you'd pick FreeBSD over Linux with its tiny userbase. It just seems like a contrarian os. OpenBSD has something Linux isn't as intensely focused on, which is security and correctness.>Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!
>>107836306Not just Whonix, I meant Qubes. Oops.
>>107832539yes, but im developing a distro.
>>107836306>If you're running it on desktop, other than ZFS and some incremental improvements, I don't understand why you'd pick FreeBSD over Linux with its tiny userbaseIf for some reason you've needed to use a Unix command line for work before, isn't FreeBSD closer to it than Linux? Minor things like vi vs vim and tar vs gtar, but that is enough to make some people want to use FreeBSD over Linux, especially if they're used to Unix

>>107833078Needs to be at least good as a 4060
>>107834647not him but Intel does not have the infrastructure setup to handle GPU drivers for games as they treat it no different than their chipset drivers with a slow release frequency that is not acceptable for new software, specially games. If you're happy to have things remain in a broken state for 4+ months after release by all means go for it.
>>107835224Games don’t need their own individual drivers. A driver for dx12 will accommodate all dx12 games the same
>>107830069Just another reminder that PC builders are an insignificant market and Nvidia has won through superior relations with prebuild companies and laptops
>>107837117that mindset is exactly why Intel will never gain any GPU marketshare.You absolutely do need to tweak and optimize on a per-game basis otherwise you end up like AMD where games like Fallout NV flat out didn't work for 6+ months until enough people shitpost about it on reddit to get them to fix it.
With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107832074What's the point of all that when it's severely limited in software compatibility? It's pretty much a toy.
>>107835303Why do you need all that power in a laptop? Get a desktop.
>>107835345Geekbench doesn't say anything regarding compilation which is what that anon wants. It's completely useless in performance benchmark too. It doesn't tell which component performs better, what are the bottlenecks, nothing. Stop using garbage benchmarks.

>>107836833Not OP. In my 4 year old with 9K hours I think I can see some 'line' where should be taskbar. It's pretty faint and doesn't show on photo.

I have two external drives, one 20tb seagate HDD and one 2tb SDD that was scavenged from a laptop and put in housing. I want to preserve their data best I can. What is the easiest way to scrub the data to prevent bitrot/the data loss SSD is known for? Is there an application that makes it easy, or do I just have to do it with powershell?
ARM is the future
>>107834815>ARM is the futureand it always will be.
>>107834815What are you talking about? ARM has been "the present" for a long time in everything but consumer laptops and desktops, with the exception of Apple of course.The only reason it hasn't been more successful in that specific market is Microsoft and Qualcomm are fucking retards.
>>107836705Because they are too lazy to compete with apple. At least Samsung is trying to give it a go
>>107836765What I meant by that is it replace x86 and become normalized
>>107834815But I like x86.
