Maybe better to link the source article on this one.

I’ve been on the receiving end of these. It’s such a monumental time waster. All the reports look legit until you get into the details and realize it’s complete bullshit.

But if you don’t look into it maybe you ignored a real report…

Contributors is my favorite metric. It shows that there are lots of eyes on the code. Makes it less likely of a single bad actor being able to do bad things.

That said, the supply chain and sometimes packaging is very opaque. So it almost renders all of that moot.

They run the closest mirrors to me. Would be a shame to see them go.

You sound like you’re living in the weeds, friend.

What’s MPK? And by UID I assume you’re not talking about the system level user ID but some kind of processor-level process ID?

Not a kernel expert but this is how it reads to me.

Instead of connecting via a socket through the kernel, this would allow processes to execute functions of other processes already in memory.

This would normally be prevented by processor memory protections, but a new processor feature has functionality to allow this now.

Would be really cool if they could actually fix the game so it’s playable though. Tired of all the simulation limitations and the fact that once you reach a certain size, the city just doesn’t work.

People really afraid of Rust out here.

I know it’s dumb to feel sad about computers and software getting shutdown, but it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

Sadly, something we all have to get used to. Everything we do is ephemeral and the next guy will likely have better/different ideas on how to do things.

Basically everything I’ve ever built has been torn down or somehow bastardized eventually.

Start from the install guide on the wiki. It’ll branch out fast and just follow all the links and read. If something goes wrong, check if you missed something on the wiki. It’s an amazing resource.

Also, look up your hardware on the wiki before you start.

Don’t?

The game’s been pretty good for years now

“Pretty good” is a bit of a stretch. It’s not completely broken and they added some okay features since launch but overall it’s still a pretty mid game.

Don’t think you’d regret it. I can’t speak for that one in particular, but I’m still running one of the DIY Kickstarter versions. Will probably replace it with another Framework (or maybe even just upgrade the components if I can).

Is this like a reference implementation or something they expect people to run?

I have similar, but I turn my display on/off with HDMI-CEC based on time.

I feel like this would fit in some unexpected areas of mobile computing. Music, interfacing with other equipment (e.g. industrial computing), or other places where people might normally take a full laptop where that’s kind of overkill.

I’m not really sure, and I kind of wish I had a need for one.

Your community gets access to the network? So it’s basically a virtual LAN?

ELI5 headscale?

Is hope survivable in 2025?

Ah, fair enough then.
