  • My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades...

    Jump

  • That leaves UCEPROTECTL3

    Is anyone still using them?

  • On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider?

    Jump

  • I see a lot of spam coming from sendgrid, so I wonder how long they can continue operating that way until they get blocked completely by one of the larger mailbox providers.

  • Trip report: February 2025 ISO C++ standards meeting (Hagenberg, Austria)

    Jump

  • Are there any tools counting lines of code AND what those lines are doing?

    Jump

  • I wonder if it would be possible to build such a tool on top of tree-sitter (although not sure tree-sitter's C++ grammar can handle modules yet)

  • Can someone explain to me the advantages of using a VPN?

    Jump

  • Isn't that mainly just torrent trackers that publish your IP address and then the ISP gets a request for who was using that particular IP address. I don't think an ISP would itself be interested in detecting whether their customers download illegal content - there is no business case for them to do that.

  • Linux Mint 22 “Wilma” released!

    Jump

  • at least you could keep their reviews so users could at least know if the app can be trusted.

    You mean, don't trust a flatpak uploaded by a random person, but if there are enough fake reviews, it can be trusted?

  • New features in C++26 [LWN.net]

    Jump

  • No mention of Reflection which was passed to the Core Working Group for wording review, or senders/receivers (on the library side) which was actually voted into the working paper.

  • New features in C++26 [LWN.net]

    Jump

  • Huh? There is no such alternation between new features and feature freeze releases. In fact, C++26 will very likely get reflection as a major new feature. In comparison, the biggest core language feature in C++23 was probably "deducting this (explicit object member functions)".

    The only thing that keeps Contracts out of C++26 is that they might not be finished in time (they'll need to be handed over from Evolution to Core by the February 2025 meeting, and then make it through Core review during the summer 2025 meeting).

  • Draft FAQ: Why does the C++ standard ship every three years? (2019)

    Jump

  • FreeBSD 14.1 vs. DragonFlyBSD 6.4 vs. NetBSD 10 vs. Linux Benchmarks

    Jump

  • Can anyone explain why there is such a huge difference in some of the benchmarks: Poll, Forking, CPU Cache, Semaphores, Socket Activity, Context Switching (all Stress-NG). Can we really trust these tests?

  • How to avoid one C++ foot gun

    Jump

  • Depends on what semantic you want. Sure, if you use a unique_ptr member, you will get a deleted copy constructor/operator - I wouldn't consider that blowing up in my face.

  • How to avoid one C++ foot gun

    Jump

  • And even the presented fix hurts my eyes. Should have used a unique_ptr or optional.

  • Sean Baxter's Safe C++ Demo

    Jump

  • Yes, it's not Open Source, but I am not sure that's really relevant here. I see it more as a prototype implementation for something that could be standardised for C++.

  • Sean Baxter's Safe C++ Demo

    Jump

  • There’s a Multibillion-Dollar Market for Your Phone’s Location Data – The Markup

    Jump

  • Also the location of known Wifi networks.

  • OpenD, a fork of D

    Jump

  • Embracing the GC

    I never actually liked the GC in D as it didn't seem to fit in with the general direction of the language, and Walter Bright in D at 20: Hits and Misses says:

    Miss: Emphasis on GC

  • Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects

    Jump

  • There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term

  • Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects

    Jump

  • where they will double your monthly data limit for free when you comment your order number.

    where they use you to spam the forum thread (for giving away something rarely anyone has any use for)

  • Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

    Jump

  • So they actually rewrote The Hurd in Rust.
