What are people planning to use the new #NetBSD 10 for? I have uses I like for FreeBSD, OpenIndiana, Solaris, plus a few Linux things for hardware support and a few unportable programs.
Surely there’s something I can do besides install it on Dreamcast.
“I must begin by admitting, as is scarcely necessary, that I am at least several months away from being able to feed a new piece of French text into a computer and have an English translation come out at the other end.”
Washington grocery stores: there are other peppers available for your salsa besides jalapeño, habanero & ghost pepper. Or to put it a different way, flavors other than somewhat hot tomato, hot tomato, and stupid hot tomato.
What’s the bookshelf speaker equivalent of Sony MDR-7506s or Shure SE215s? JBL 4312s with roots back to 1968? Sony SS-SC5 from 2014? Jones’ 2016 Elac Debut or earlier 2012 Pioneer BS22? Klipsch R series?
Should be:
cheap as possible while not crap
old enough that most folks know of it
given above, it should be a common reference point when comparing other models
I am slowly beginning to understand why @mwl has explicitly committed to never writing LDAP Mastery. My personal doc for just being able to rebuild test infrastructure and to install, configure & validate realmd on #FreeBSD against different domain controllers is getting to thousands of words.
Admittedly, this is also documenting connectivity in RHEL clones (as a known “good” client) and the start of doc for integrating with samba & nfs file servers.
@jacqueline random thought: have you dug into audiobook formats at all? I can imagine wanting a completely different UI (left as an exercise for early users) but is M4B something that works out if the box?
I also don’t know if chapter markers are an overdrive extension or in the standard because searching the internet about media file formats just lands me in content farms. (I suspect the aax to m4b convert tool I use can be improved, but I’d need to know the actual format…)
Oof, the Tesla section does feel a little in need of an update. Or at least a few caveats about Musk and the actual support experience of Tesla owners.
Listening to a Lawfare interview about CISA, Secure-by-Design, memory safety and software liability. They keep talking about all these “known problems”, but I wonder what their plan is for Unix & libc. Or if it’s just to hope @thephd magically fixes everything them (which still doesn’t fix Unix). I don’t think the rust-in-kernel folks even dream this big.
I’ve got to read more about plugins via #wasm, as seen in zellij, istio, lapce. It might be interesting to have a config manager’s plugins exposed via wasm; Would add a level of sandboxing not available in puppet or chef.
The trouble is: could I model the resources well enough to make them composable in different languages? Lua embeded extensions are one thing but I’m worried this is too galaxy brained.
I guess if it’s not meta enough, I can implement the default extensions in a lisp.
So, the component model requires both the host and the module to support "multiple memories"? No runtime except Chrome supports it: https://webassembly.org/roadmap/
I’m so tired. At least one person (and usually more) in my house has been sick enough to be stuck at home since October 14. Sight now I’ve got one with wet coughs and bronchitis from never ending RSV, another with a second wave of ear infection as secondary infection from their RSV a month ago.
It’s hard dreaming about what I could get done if I weren’t caretaking all day and consoling the sleepless all night.
I swear, everyone who intends to be a long term contributor to a unix flavor should take the time to attempt a linux-from-scratch to a usable workstation. You just cannot appreciate how magical eg poudriere or any other automated package build system is until you’ve burned weeks(?) of your determining dependencies and ./configure&&make-ing the infinite package builds and twiddling with failures.
