I am looking for some visual programming environment that allows not only small processing nodes (like NodeRED) but that also includes objects with state. Think NodeRED but with a another dimension that contains objects that the flows interact with.
Debian has traditionally followed a model of it being possible to upgrade systems between releases in-place while they're running. This makes upgrade logic much more difficult - at various stages you're replacing the components that are currently running in order to perform the upgrade! And at the end of all of this you're going to reboot anyway because you've got a new kernel.
@mjg59 I thought fedora upgrades were in place (I'm sure it ran the updated before the reboot last time I tried, 36 to 38, just summoning the courage to do the next upgrade...)
🆕 blog! “The tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth”
You know that ice-breaker game "Two Truths And A Lie"? When I'm forced into some mandatory office fun, I always say... I've sat in the seat of a space shuttle. I still have two of my baby teeth. I used to be a voice-over artist. Well, one of those truths is about to come crashing […]
Thought experiment: imagine a language model where you can describe exactly how you want software to behave, and it produces a binary that does that. You don't get the source code, but it works 100% of the time. As long as you can install this binary on whatever device you have, does this achieve the goals of free software?
@mjg59 Assuming the model and the tools/hardware to run it as freely available then yes, but if the model is e.g. SaaS then no. (Thinking the model is effectively a compiler, the description is the source code)
@sldrant I'm doing the same, but I need the copy priming the cache not to use the local on disc cache. I believe I have a working solution for an air gapped network.
Vidaccio works well, I'll write it up at some point
My work has started deploying spyware that decrypt all our network traffic. I detest the idea of breaking encryption in the name of security.
Also they clearly didn't test it with any developers (our company is a software dev company) as it stops me doing my job so I've been told to turn of this awful tool for now.
@sldrant@Dragon at a previous employer I ended up building a Pi Zero W bridge device that showed up as a USB-ethernet device I could use as a bastion device on the guest network to ssh/git with github because the "production" network didn't allow it. It was easier to break the rules than follow them.
(and lets not talk about me re-writing the python tool that used to check password expiry for certain accounts to just lie...)
@Edent surely this will be a software thing with the pam and the smart card library, not something hardware specific? Or just to clarify, you are looking for hardware known to work with that stack?
