lambalicious,

Storm in a teacup, as tends to be the norm on the internet.

Not only this is nothing new and nothing unexpected to happen in Sid of all places, but it’s also something that helps bring keepassxc more in line with packaging guidelines on Debian. They already have lots of packages, both of the mutually-exclusive kind and of the complementary kind, with “foo-full”, “foo-minimal”, “foo-data” etc naming. p7zip and nginx of all things are quite interesting examples.

Plus, the author of the post sensationalizes the title to brigade the issue.

All that said:

  • If the maintainer wishes to do this, “only” having two packages is a half-assed measure and that causes more issues in the long term. I’d expect three packages: keepassxc-minimal, keepassxc-full and the retained name keepassxc as a virtual package name.
  • Furthermore, a direct upgrade path should go from (previous) keepassxc to (proposed) keepassxc-full.
  • I don’t know enough of KeePassXC to know if something like keepassxc-data would be needed. Are there potential cases where one would want to switch between “-full” and “-minimal” or viceversa without the system seeing a software uninstallation in the meantime?
  • The “crap” rationale is definitively something we all can do without, but given how people tend to brigade developers who try to do things, I can completely understand and support raising shields and looking defensive because some damage is already going to be done.
  • Most responses are right in that the right place to discuss this is in the opened Debian bug report. The entire point is to see Debian (not KeepassXC) handle this before things get to Next Stable.
lambalicious,

And no, it wasn’t just the favicons feature that was removed (which like … is that really such a big privacy issue that you need to remove it from the binary?)

Fetching a favicon means raising a network connection with a predictable endpoint. That’s already three concerns (four on the modern internet) to handle security-wise, and it’s absolutely an unneeded feature. Favicons could just be shipped on something like keepassxc-data or keepassxc-contrib to handle locally, no need to raise a network call.

lambalicious,

People who are looking to start a SE alternative but start with the idea of importing the original SE data dumps are already Doing It Wrong. Much of the issue that has led to the desire to fork SE comes due to the license of the posts and content, which lacks the NC (NonCommercial) component of Creative Commons. Without that component, any attempt to make a Fediverse alternative just ends up in Yet Another Endpoint that can be freely siphoned for data by corporations, for AIs, etc.

lambalicious,

See here’s the thing: Creative Commons is not an exclusionary license. If I want to make commercial use of something that has a CC-NC license, I explicitly can ask the author for a secondary license limited to the usage and scope that I need. The important thing here is that the author still retains control, as well as a data point of who is profiting from their stuff and how.

lambalicious,

Like, who wants that?

Have you literally missed out on the fact that the protest is happening? The protest is certainly not because SO answers are bad.

lambalicious,

They already have it.

I said alternative to SO. As in, likely, a place to post new content (answers, comments). Nothing can really be done with the content OAI already got their hands on other than firing off a few well-placed EMP bombs.

10th time

only now threatens jail time

Correct me but any pregraduate law student who hasn’t been skipping on their classes could get rich by filing for the obvious bias the judges have to allow 10 contempts of court, wouldn’t they?

lambalicious,

So, if I am understanding correctly, as a citizen I can threaten a judge 9 times, or threaten 9 different judges, and demand that I can only be held accountable for only one of them, or for all of them as a package only once?

lambalicious,

Feel free to explain then, because from here it looks like El Trumpo should have been thrown to jail 8 contempts ago, like any normal citizen. Right now if I was a US citizen I would be justified in citing precedent that I can’t be sent to jail or even threatened with jail time with only 6 contempts.

This community is the most important for videogames preservation

Think about it, Linux is the most future-proof OS, not threatened by companies or commercial interests, and the same can be said for Lemmy in the world of decentralized communication for topics of interest. Without these two things the preservation of video games would be greatly in danger.

lambalicious,

If it’s so important for preservation and it’s supposed to use the strengths of lemmy in the world of decentralized communication, maybe it’d be wise to not host it in lemmy.world and host it somewhere else more fitting instead? lemmy.world has a history of censoring even mere discussion of piracy, which is pretty much the only functional way of archiving and preserving modern videogames at scale.

lambalicious,

Y así, empezó Mayo y estoy enfermito.

Pero como dicen que enfermo que come no muere, hoy pediré pizza por reparto.

Snikket is a simple, secure and private messaging app (based on XMPP) (snikket.org)

For self-hosting though, the project I work on - Snikket - uses XMPP but has all the nice modern things you’d expect ready to go right out of the box, more like a Matrix (Synapse/Element) setup. Probably the biggest thing missing for Snikket right now is an official web app (we currently have Android and iOS apps)....

lambalicious,

While I like it conceptually, the two times I tried to install it I felt it was far too opinionated for me to get it to work correctly, like other software “bundles” of its kind that want to take control of the entire process of setting up ports, networking, storage, certificates etc…, instead of just hanging down from stuff that I have already prepared for it (like my own domain with my own cert).

Like, as a piece of software it’s something I’d absolutely use… if someone else sets everything up for me.

lambalicious,

You can, but honestly no idea how to handle stuff like the certs from that point on. Most other software on docker lets me eg.: just bind-mount the host’s directory with the certs I want to use - or just not even know about SSL in the first place and just let me reverse-proxy the access in (like, say, a simple static page web server).

But, like I said, the last times I tried to get into it, it tried its darnest to get in my way. If that’s changed since then, that’d be great.

lambalicious,

Hmmm maybe that’s the one that tries to do everything on its own instead of using the stuff I’ve already set up. Had similar issues with eg.: Nextcloud.

I’ve been looking for an alternative “the actual XMPP service only, nothing else that can be sourced by the host” container setup but there doesn’t seem to be any.

Cadem: 83% está de acuerdo con reducir la cantidad de parlamentarios

https://www.t13.cl/noticia/ex-ante/politica/cadem-83-esta-acuerdo-reducir-cantidad-parlamentarios-31-3-2024

@chile

lambalicious,

Eso debe tener alguna justificación técnica, por ejemplo, una relación con el sueldo mínimo.

Al menos según yo, lo que tiene sentido es que los parlamentarios ganen específicamente el sueldo mínimo. Tal vez con cuea un margen porcentual de un dígito por encima, onda 105% del sueldo mínimo. No más. Después de todo, deben representar a todos los chilenos, y no pueden ponerse adecuadamente en los zapatos del chileno promedio y tomar las decisiones acorde a eso si les sobra la plata.

lambalicious,

Because I left Windows precisely to avoid the kind of shittery that systemd is doing.

It’s absolutely no coincidence that the people who have developed the stuff that’s brought the most degradation to Linux - systemd, PulseAudio, Gnome’s “user has no right to themes” attitude - all come from a Microsoft background or explicitly work for Microsoft.

I’d have far less of a problem if systemd was split into more practical, actually independent things that actually worked and distros didn’t buy their snake oil so easily. But for the time being, to me, the systemd experience is pretty much like the PulseAudio experience, what with the whole “waiting 120 seconds for a network interface to activate that it’s not going to because it’s the damn ethernet port and I’m on the road so the cable is not connected, stupid letter-potter dipshit”.

lambalicious,

Protip: Theres no need to defederate from Threads if you never started federating with them in the first place. We know exactly who they are.

DAME MADERA

lambalicious,

Las noticias recientes de accidentes peatonales y ahora el micrero que tumbó a un ciclista y se bajó a patearlo me hacen considerar un tema que pasa escondido.

El diseño vial en Santiago, y en Chile en general es TAN PENCA. Si yo fuera profe de urbanismo y viniera un estudiante a mostrarme un diseño de una ciclovía que está al nivel de la calle, o que va pegado por el lado derecho de la calle en vez del izquierdo, o un paseo peatonal que se separa 20 metros de la esquina para que los viejitos tengan que caminar 40 metros más para cruzar la calle, o una intersección entre autopistas y avenidas que usa un enrejado de rampas multinivel tipo gringo en vez de una rotonda o un diamane, o una ciclovía que pasa por el bandejón central de una avenida y se separa con los postes, o una intersección con un paseo peatonal que obliga a los peatones a dar vuelta la cabeza hacia la dirección contraria de la que vienen los autos…

¿Por ese tipo de cosas? no siquiera me molestaría en rajarlo con el uno al hueón, simplemente lo echaría de la carrera.

lambalicious,

Todos los cachos con las páginas bancarias fueron parte de la razón por la cual me metí a Coopeuch, es de los pocos servicios donde ni la página web ni la app se han enshittificado hasta ahora. Pero Banco Estado y Santander históricamente han sido de lo peor.

lambalicious,

So, you want people to miss out on cat pictures because your feelings were hurt?

lambalicious,

The fact that the solution is not to simply invoke the copy constructor, but to (portably!) write an ungodly mess that uses double-references, full noexcept(noexcept(repeat_of_body)) daisy-chaining, std::forward (a function that doesn’t forward), and probably constexpr, and probably explicit(explicit(…)) daisy-chaining, and probably requires(requires(…)) daisy-chaining, and probably constinit, and probably structured bindings, and probably yet another form of auto, and so on…, demonstrates the problem with C++.

There’s a place for macros, and this example shows it is precisely it. I’d just write MAKE_COPY(x).

lambalicious,

The other alternative here which is why I think this is kind of ridiculous is 9/10 you can just change the function you’re calling to pass a copy rather than passing a reference if that’s what you really want.

…That’s a pretty good point. Use the type system to work for you. If you want a value thing, just get it by-value. No need for macros, no need for wildcard ampersands, no need for constexpr constinit consteval static inline noexcept(noexcept(…)) requires(requires(…)) explicit(explicit(…)) { body } -> decltype(body).
