That is some big dick energy ngl

Is it though?

Hmm

Welp

Seriously though, fuck this guy and his project. Refuse to support it. In fact, use an alt account to introduce subtle bugs and flaws to the codebase if you can. It’s always a good day to fuck with Nazis. And this right here is a project run by a Nazi.

Edit: if anyone dares to whinge about “getting political” with my comment in this community: this is a screencap of the fucking README.MD. It’s an inherently, overtly political commentary in the project that’s clearly friendly to an authoritarian regime. Fuck all that noise.

I have a goddamn bulletproof T14 with 32gb ram and a 5850X. It’s a beast of a dev laptop.

I just got a M4 air, base spec +32g ram. I also do homelab things. It’s effectively a thin client, and it’s beautiful for that. I charge it once every couple of weeks. And as an ARM platform, the cpu is honestly very good, and the emulation layers you get with Rosetta 2 are kind of just… magic as a result of how good they work for almost everything. And yes there are gotchas. And places that doesn’t work. But honestly - and I know this makes me sound like an Apple fanboi - Apple absolutely perfected the form factor for a high-endurance, high efficiency ultraportable here, imo. The battery life is genuinely batshit crazy. And yes it is expensive.

Side note: they’re forcing you to BYO? Any chance you are able to get a dedicated work device?

Nicely done! That’s pretty awesome :)

Though I should point out that it’s also not hard to lock down a windows install a bit more if you don’t make the default account an admin one. But moving to Linux is better imo for a whole host of reasons.

Lmao this is so cursed.

I love it.

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).

Perhaps it’s a direct response to the tarrifs, as well as an instance of a Chinese company finding a way to fuck over an American company now that trade relations across the board between the US and PRC are juddering to a halt.

I use atomic for systems that I want to work, full stop, no matter what.

I use traditional for systems and VMs that I want to tinker with. These may be rendered into an atomic distro at some point, if desired or necessary. But I honestly haven’t felt the need to do that yet.

It’s just about picking the appropriate baseline os type for what you want to do on the machine in question. Much like one would pick debian or fedora or rhel or suse-based distros for various technical and esoteric reasons.

AND YOU DID IT IN A LANGUAGE I DON’T LIKE FOR ESOTERIC REASONS DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CAN ELIMINATE ENTIRE CATEGORIES OF BUGS BY SIMPLE NATURE OF ITS SYNTAX AND COMPILER REEEEEEEE

Genuinely, the vociferous pushback against Rust by a small minority of irrational C purist assholes is so, so dumb.

Honestly I’m gonna need more specifics than random subjective hyperbole.

It breaks my heart that so much of these will end up in landfills. Resell them. Or send them to device recycling. There’s a shitload of rare earths in modern-ish but obsolete computers. And downcycling is possible too - my router is an old Lenovo thin client with a dual port 10g SFP+ card slapped in it.

My issue is that I don’t want to have to register for shit like that. If it’s security related, and it’s a free Linux distro (e.g. not RHEL, etc), it is absolutely not appropriate to diminish anonymity in exchange for those updates, or to paywall them.

almost no lag.

Lmao theres gotta be a timeline in which Malibal ships to the DPRK and ONLY the DPRK

I’ve had a T series with a 5850 in it for a while now, and it’s an absolute champ. Definitely one of the best laptops I’ve owned.

Can you explain the specific functionality that you’re looking for…? I don’t understand your objection here.

I wouldn’t

I mean… I was sort of taking “good” code to imply “not malicious”, in addition to it being written well. But yeah, I completely agree, in the context of attack vectors you mention.

But the main point is that good and well-written code doesn’t need this sort of misdirection, nor would the authors generally engage in this sort of thing

Ngl this is actually kinda cool to see. Steam OS is legitimately taking off. This could become A Thing in the game hardware industry. As in: a new primary target platform.
