  • Linux and RISC-V by 2030

    Jump

  • Here's a video (YouTube) I saw recently that talks about the experience of using a Milk-V Jupiter in 2025.

    I have a Star64 from Pine64 that I have been meaning to play with. I would say 2030 may be early to expect daily driving a RISC-V device, but you can start playing with RISC-V and becoming familiar with the system so the transition becomes easier once the platform becomes more mature.

  • For another email provider alternative, I would suggest Forward Email. I still haven't used them yet, but my goal is to switch to them from Proton when I get around to it.

    I was thinking of playing around with email hosting, at least for offline backups, and I've been interested in using Stalwart.

    I also suggest Porkbun for purchasing a domain.

    Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it's an essential feature for me.

    I've been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I'm still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

  • Life expectancy has dramatically improved from feudalism

    To be fair, isn't the reason life expectancy improved is largely attributed to China uplifting over 800 million people out of poverty?

    While yes, the overthrow of feudalism, which prevented scientific progress as it had threatened the ruling class's power, led to medical advancements, better food production and access, etc., capitalism negated a lot of improvements toward life expectancy because of deadly working conditions, genocide, wars, colonialism, etc.

    I do agree with your point that capitalism is often a necessity to eventually enable a socialist revolution to be possible once it faces crises from its contradictions and did contribute, at least indirectly, to increased life expectancy, Russia/USSR and China, as mentioned above, are examples of nations that were able to achieve socialism earlier, and their impact towards humanity cannot be understated.

    In the blog posts I read where the author, a security engineer, audited and/or reported vulnerabilities with two E2EE chat protocols commonly recommended as Signal alternatives--Matrix and XMPP--both had implemented half-baked solutions or refused to solve the issue at all in some regards, and both had evangelists that gave dismissive responses. The XMPP chud dev gave a laughably childish response, and the Matrix dev even admitted the team being aware of the olm vulnerability and deliberately refused to fix it for years. Not that Signal cultists are any better and not negating the legitimate security and trust issues with the Signal platform, but Signal is still a decent platform for most people's threat model, though it would be nice if there was an alternative that could compete with Signal to recommend to most people instead. If you care about metadata resistance and your threat model involves high stakes if your assets are compromised, the blog author suggests Tor-based solutions such as Cwtch and Ricochet Refresh.

    Jump

  • I'm with you there. This wasn't meant as an argument against your statement. I brought up the issues regarding Matrix and XMPP as they are often recommended as alternatives to Signal, and after learning about this blog in a previous conversation I had about this topic, I thought it would be a good resource to bring up so people can be informed about those platforms and some alternatives that may be better than Signal while being metadata resistant.

  • Telegram Hands U.S. Authorities Data on Thousands of Users

    Jump

  • Many Signal alternatives also have security issues of their own, often making them less secure than Signal. This includes Matrix and XMPP. In the blog post regarding XMPP+OMEMO, the author replies to a question about which would be better than Signal, Matrix, and XMPP with this suggestion:

    Anyone who cares about metadata resistance should look at Cwtch, Ricochet, or any other Tor-based solution. Not a mobile app. Not XMPP. Not Matrix.

    In regards to Ricochet, not having a mobile app version makes it difficult to recommend to less tech savvy people.

  • This is how to trim a curve on a point in FreeCAD. Honestly hilarious. Tried using it recently, and I couldn't follow a basic tutorial without it breaking. This is a recent fair review of FreeCAD, and it still needs a lot of work even after its 1.0 release before it is worth using. I'm considering going back to OpenSCAD for a simple project, and then I will try using build123d in python (CadQuery is a more user-friendly alternative, at least as far as I am told).

    I'm curious how well these CAD kernel projects written in Rust will turn out: Fornjot / Truck
