  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • yes, it's Arch all the way for me. it's flexible in the way that I can configure it for any system I need, and I usually know what I want from it.

    my installations on my desktop and laptop look fairly similar, but my server and test computers can look different depending on the hardware specifications they have.

    plus, with BTRFS snapshots, if anything breaks I can simply roll back to a previous version of the system.

  • Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be Next

    Jump

  • this is the pipeline to fully trusted restricted computing.

    Linux couldn't possibly comply properly with these new restrictions? Consumer grade prebuilts and laptops now only run "certified" operating systems, just like most mobile devices.

    Surveillance and censorship are the ends, "age" (identity) verification is the means.

  • If you're paying for discord nitro, consider paying for a hosted/managed matrix server instead

    Jump

  • I've been trying out different alternatives with my friends. Screenshare and audio sharing capabilities across Linux, Windows and Mac is the one feature that Discord does right that no one else seems to. I really like Element (and by extension Matrix), but they really like to stick their head in the sand when it comes to important feature requests. The lack of screenshare with audio is a big thing that helps bring about the unfortunate choice to stick with Discord.

    I know it's a tricky thing to get right, and I have love for the work that open source does; I don't have quite the level of skill yet to make/contribute an implementation myself. But it's strange it's been this long and nobody seems to have gotten this feature working, despite a big want for it.

    EDIT: After taking a look at the issues on the element repos, it seems like this is getting worked on! https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/29891 https://github.com/element-hq/element-desktop/pull/2850

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • 49, I could imagine running all of those bare would be hard with dependencies

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • when it breaks, which is not very often so around 5-6 years. this P9PXL is getting quite a lot of software support though, so ideally I'll keep it around longer than that.

    unfortunately I know people who get a new phone once simply the battery starts to go bad, as if there wasn't a less expensive way to fix that issue. :(

  • Are password managers secure to use?

    Jump

  • Remembering (and inevitably) forgetting passwords for all your different accounts is inconvenient, frustrating, and arguably less secure than a randomly generated password unique to each account.

    Additionally, it can be tempting to reuse passwords for multiple accounts, which is trouble when a less-than-reputable service that you used that password on is breached, since that password wasn't unique.

    If you use an open-source, tried and true password manager (Bitwarden, Vaultwarden, KeePassXC) and keep a passphrase unique to that password manager only, you avoid the problems above which are way more likely to occur than Bitwarden passwords getting breached in plaintext, or a security vulnerability to the KeePass database.

    Plus, most password managers offer support for passkeys, which are easier to register/use than passwords. They usually only require a "verify with passkey" button on a given website.

    Bottom line, password managers are probably (definitely) more secure than any other reasonable solution that anyone has come up with.

    only phone I've ever catastrophically broken by drop is a Galaxy S20; curved screen edges are bad for durability. glad most phone manufacturers have axed it now.

  • "I Voted for Trump" — Now My Industry's Down 23% and Collapsing Fast: Freight CEO’s Heartbreaking Realization

    Jump

  • can't be heartbreaking if you don't have a heart

  • Do you believe in free will?

    Jump

  • no. events and our decisions are abstracted far enough so that the illusion of free will is apparent. I think it's very well impossible to fully distinguish between free will and fate from our limited perspective

  • Which of these javascript expressions is false?

    Jump

  • probably not true in most other langauges. although I'm not well versed in the way numbers are represented in code and what makes a number "NaN", something tells me the technical implications of that would be quite bad in a production environment.

    the definitive way to check for NaN in JS would probably be something like

     
        
// with `num` being an unknown value

// Convert value to a number
const res = Number(num);

/*
 * First check if the number is 0, since 0 is a falsy
 * value in JS, and if it isn't, `NaN` is the only other
 * falsy number value
 */
const isNaN = res !== 0 && !res;

  • other distributions should start having an option for this in the GUI installer, but it might be tricky for the average user

    Arch Wiki has a guide on FDE using the TPM and it's transparent in my everyday usage

    some minor issues I see are:

    • Secure Boot needing to be disabled then re-enabled during install for it to work as intended
    • needing to write down a long backup passphrase, but this also happens on Windows and MacOS iirc
