The phoronix comment section is a garden of rationality and level-headed thinking in comparison.
Any time Rust is brought up in Phoronix, half of the comments are bad-faith idiots making strawmen and whataboutism arguments amounting to “skill issue, C is 300% safe and nobody needs better” and thinly-veiled contrarian antagonism against Rust because it’s popular.
A comment section worse than that? Impressive.
Why did my son die in the rehab facility?
Mac is very similar to Linux in that it comes with bash (these days zsh) and a lot of the command line tools you’d expect on Linux, including gcc
No it doesn’t.
The gcc command is a wrapper for clang, and the clang command is a stub that runs an executable used to install the “Xcode Command-Line Tools”
It also uses the BSD coreutils, rather than the GNU coreutils present on most Linux distros. The two are only compatible up to functionality defined by the POSIX standard, and anything beyond that is an inconsistent mess.
Windows is more difficult. The command line is very different (it inherits from DOS instead of Unix like both Mac and Linux). It doesn’t come with Python pre-installed
If you limit yourself to not using WSL, sure. WSL 2 runs an actual Linux kernel with the same Linux executables you would find on any other distro.
It’s still Windows and full of telemetry and AI garbage nobody wants, but it somehow manages to have better Linux compatibility than macOS.
The attack was coming from ::1
Or if that’s too unbelievable, fe80:: has some scary implications while also not likely to ever be a real device.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to write software in assembly that is very readable. It takes thought but assembly has the edge with its miniscule footprint and zero-dependency runtime.
If there is no way to do so in the GUI, it’s not getting fixed by them, they’ll take it to the Geek Squad if they even decide to fix it at all.
The best part is that Geek Squad probably won’t even fix it.
With the amount of time allocated to tasks and the lack of autonomy retail workers are given, the solution to anything not explicitly written in an employee runbook is going to be “we need to reinstall windows” or “it can’t be fixed, but we have a new computer you can buy”
Neither did I. Now I just don’t have time for sleep.
DisplayPort has a +3.3V 500mA pin specifically for pushing power. In theory, great for powering an active adapter. In practice, has killed motherboards because Dell can’t design a computer for shit.
Used to. I gave up for the various reasons mentioned in my comment. But yes, that’s pretty much what I did. If you’re interested in trying, using WireGuard and iptables is relatively straightforward:

Hosting your own mail server for example is probably not worth it for most people.
If the homelab involves using an IP address under a residential internet service, that quickly goes from “not worth it” to “literally impossible”.
Unless you’re willing to set it up so SMTP and IMAP are tunneled through a VPS that you also pay for, the story becomes:
Why can’t I receive my test mail?
Oh, the ISP blocks inbound SMTP connections.
Why can’t I access my mailbox from outside my home?
Oh, they also block IMAP and POP.
Why do my outgoing emails all end up in the spam folder?
Oh, most email providers insta-spam anything from residential IPs ranges.
And then, even if it’s not a homelab, DIY email hosting is:
Oh my god, there’s so much spam.
I need to set up more aggressive filters.
Why did this important email get filtered?
Oh, I need to make the spam filter less aggressive.
Why are my outbound emails being marked as spam?
Oh, I need to set up DKIM and SPF.
Why is it still being marked as spam?
Wait, some providers require reverse lookup hostname of the mailserver to match the sender name? Fuck.
Oh, ok, now my server or its IP block got added to a spam list.
How do I get removed from the spam list?
Painfully. Very painfully.
And so on.
It’s really not worth it.
That’s not true. Internet Explorer was fucking useless for scripting together things, unlike bash.
I had the same experience. It’s regrettable how desensitized to violence I am these days.
he was a master of deflection.
With words, maybe. With lead, evidently not.
Or if you decided to take too long for your morning coffee break. Or if the planets enter retrograde. Or when it’s the 12th millisecond past every third minute since the creation of the universe.
Oh, I was just remarking that I don’t have anything but env installed in there. I wouldn’t be able to run sl by its full path unless I go searching for wherever that is
The even more fucked-up part is that
Invoke-WebRequeststill uses Internet Explorer to parse the result, and will panic if-UseBasicParsingis not passed every time, or IE isn’t installed and initialized.
That is absolutely horrifying.
Powershell does the opposite, having an alias from ls to whatever the powershell equivalent of dir is.
There’s also
/usr/bin/slbut you knew that.
$ ls /usr/bin
env
I guess I could env sl?
Well, now that’s just inaccurate. The hundredth-time programmer isn’t going to use a
rake; the hundredth-time programmer is going to use atool::basic_tool<tool::manual_operator<species::human_t>,tool::handle_type::wood,tool::pronged<5>>.
