im not sure codeberg currently had the infrastructure to support day-to-day operation of nixpkgs development. I’m using codeberg daily for my own projects, and sometimes the diff for MR is broken or load for too long. Not mentioning stability issues.

Of course I wouldn’t complain of something thats maintained by volunteers. I’m just saying the traffic for nixpkgs are currently big and I’m pessimistic codeberg can handle it.

Paul Allen got great cards.

from the letter

What hobbyist can put 3-man years into programming, finding all bugs, documenting his product and distribute for free?

Im all for giving fair or even plentiful compensation to developers who made our softwares. But, how times and hindsight made this passage sounds like, “wait you guys got paid?”

10 minutes??? Did Linux just won by literally doing its own thing?

lokinet is for data transfer, like a message from your phone to mine, not a currency. Thats why its odd it uses staking instead of any nodes.

yet they couldve done this with volunteer nodes or even their own, because not even the server knows the content, right?

shame their entire node system relies on cryptobros tech.

tor doesnt need currency to back it up. i2p doesnt need currency to back it up. why the hell lokinet does?

its like slipping on a banana to avoid a slash of a chainsaw

thank you for this explanation, it gave me the right perspective. I will check that channel out!

Now about that fab line, is that still protected under a secrecy license? What’s stopping the Chinese from making their own fab line besides the ASML monopoly?

yeah, comment above really gave me a picture that 16nm is really small

yes, but fabricating a CPU on a small enough form factor is still an issue, afaik

thank you, now we just need to funds these people so they can work at it with more than a duct tape and a litre of coffee.

holy shit

I’m not trying to create the new Core i7 here, just something that can run as well as a raspberry pi. My imagination that a nation/company need to start small and aim small, before exploring other more complex architecture.

Now that’s an ISA, I understand that. But what about the hardware itself, isnt that the hard part? I’m using the viewpoint of the manufacturer, feasibility.

debian when you need image for your docker, nixos when you need stability and reproducibility, arch when you…

i have no idea actually, why arch?

if i cant use sudo on my own device, then its not my device!

i don’t want my phone to be dumb, I want it to be open source, front to back! The issue of smartphones isn’t that its “too smart”, instead we should talk about why the control of our phones aren’t within our grasp, but on the palm of corpos and govs.

you want to use your smartphone while keeping it simple? Install less apps and disable ALL telemetry (this is where being open source comes in).

bring your own implementation for hashtables? not even in std? damn
