My annual plea for a thing: I want a type 1 hypervisor that just has a small isolated VM and then passes through the rest of the hardware to the main VM which runs Linux. The small VM is intended to be used to run small pieces of code that the main OS should not be able to interfere with. Does such a thing exist? (Think Xen, but with a Dom0 that can't see into DomUs)

@fl0_id@mastodon.social avatar

@mjg59 @hyc sure, but I just meant if the hv can technically see into all guests, who enforces the rules for security vm? The cpu or the hv or both? If the hv, this is likely more easily overridden.

@mjg59 @hyc does one know how it manages this? Does it just pretend?

After a new investigation in the WSJ, I am once again asking: what is the conflict of interest policy at OpenAI?? https://www.platformer.news/openai-altman-investments-conflicts-wsj/

@caseynewton probably.. nothing, or not enforced? Kind of what I imagine at Tesla.

alda, to opensource
@alda@topspicy.social avatar

I'm looking for resources, experiences, conversations, books and papers on revenue models for open source software, as I'm releasing a product that needs to be under GPLv3.

I'm specifically looking into monthly and annual donations and "sponsor a feature" sort of deals on top of service contracts.

There's already interest, so it's more about defining the methods rather than this being possible or not.

@alda I’d take a look at project to profit and open-source for business by heather meeker. https://heathermeeker.com/from-project-to-profit/
Some of her stuff is also freely available on her site

Microsoft: takes screenshots of the screen, OCRs them and places the data in an unprotected sqlite file for later recall.

Apple: creates new NPU architecture designed to save PDFs of the screen and OCR them, storing the data in CoreData for later recall by authenticated users.

Ubuntu: every time the computer sleeps, it wakes up slightly slower than the last time, until you reboot it.

The world is pretty shitty right now and I have a long weekend, so let me try to make the world a bit better: who wants a hand made aquarelle postcard and a book recommendation?

You don't get to choose the card (and I don't yet know what I feel like painting) but you can tell me what kind of book and in which language you want 😊

I'll be happy when I make the card and you when you received it so we get a net win in happiness together 💚

@vicgrinberg awesome idea. I would be up for it but please do take breaks :)
Any kind of fiction would be great, esp political, utopian sci-fi/solarpunk or novelized origin stories (f e when people describe a person growing which is loosely based on their experience as a migrant)

Yesterday, the EP adopted the CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) which will bring new forms of software liability and reporting obligations. I wrote about the potential implications for FOSS software here https://ifross.org/?q=node/1674 and herehttps://ifross.org/?q=node/1675
(most FOSS use cases will be exempted now, though that was not the case in the beginning)

If you are in Berlin and would prefer cars would not drive faster again on many streets, this newspaper is doing a poll so maybe let them know. https://www.tagesspiegel.de/nehmen-sie-jetzt-an-der-umfrage-teil-sollte-man-in-berlin-wieder-schneller-fahren-durfen-11039245.html

Auch ein weirder hot-take den ich hier irgendwo gesehen hab, das wenn man gegen drastische Urheberrechtsdurchsetzung ist oder freies Wissen prinzipiell unterstützt, man ja auch fein sein sollte mit Verarbeitung großer Datenmengen durch KI Modelle. Nur weil man aber für freies Wissen, Open-Source etc ist, muss man nicht die Kommerzielle Ausschlachtung davon gut heißen. Viel mehr ging es immer um das Machtgefaelle und wer wie viel vom Urheberrecht profitiert.

Helft mir mal auf die Sprünge.

Ich suche eine für:

  • etwa 1,5TB Daten,
  • etwa 1500 Benutzer,
  • Nutzer sollen selbst Daten hoch/runter laden können,
  • idealerweise Webclient,
  • einfache Registrierung,
  • skalierbar.

Bin grade ein bisschen überfragt.

The Land Before Google

The Dot com boom. Gold rush! Microsoft is king of the Desktop but AWOL on the web. Downloads are sooo slow. In NZ 28k was typical if you had it at all (today it's 50000k). People still buy print but mainly for the CD. Search was terrible, their home pages were ad-ridden chaotic mess. Some people used Copernic Agent to do multiple searches on Yahoo, Excite, Lycos, Altavista, Compuserve (link if you miss the old internet https://www.compuserve.com/), /1

Germany accuses Russia's military intelligence (GRU) of organising a cyber operation targeting German government party, the Social Democrats (SPD). That would be interference in domestic affairs, right? Germany speaks of "consequences".

@LukaszOlejnik I think the chancellor is way too timid to do anything though, he can’t shake the old ways maybe?

Just did some research on light philosophy books to get someone off of the "philosophy" offered by the likes of Richard David Precht ans Jordan Peterson. And I noticed that while I love philosophy, most literature is – of course – mostly considering society as a whole and less focused on self improvement. Even if self improvement is a topic it of course only exists within the context of society.

And indeed most bigger philosophical issues are actually rooted in society (at least in my view). Unfortunately that means that most literature that I'd recommend in that regard, while interesting and inspiring fight against the system ... ultimately isn't that helpful to people struggling to find their place in a system that's fucked up beyond recognition.

So you can either read JP and consider all issues as problems of the individual, or actually fight power struggles but live in existential despair. Which, yes, matches a lot of philosophers.

Maybe we need some self-help books that teach how to be egoistically content with oneself with proper self-care when appropriate without lying about the state of the world as it is. This huge gap needs to be closed, otherwise all activists are just perm burned out (hi, lol!).

fl0_id,
@fl0_id@mastodon.social avatar

@ljrk books like that probably fall less into philosophy, but more into psychology I guess. There is one or two that I know that might fit, but they don’t particularly address activism

I'm looking at @moodeaudio to replace my system with, and there's two questions I can't quite find the answers to:

  1. Does it support rebroadcasting a line-in audio source for multi-room? That'd be enough to get my TV audio to the other rooms.

  2. I have a fairly powerful NAS I can run the "main" instance on and would just need the actual RPis as audio relays. Is that topology somehow supported?

@klara @aeva it’s written in rust. I also don’t know the die of their current index or things like that. I might write to them to inquire about metrics/docs, governance and funding

fl0_id,
@fl0_id@mastodon.social avatar

@klara @aeva I haven’t tested it sufficiently, but it is not decentralized, probably exactly for these reasons and the suggest not everyone run their own crawler. They do have their own crawler, so it’s not just an amalgamation of bing or google. They have f e optics which are similar to kagi lenses to tailor your search. While centralized is a failure point it makes sense for this, and at least code-wise they are more open then kagi.

@klara @aeva I don’t know anything about their governance or future plans. (And license is AGPL)
