6·2 days agoPart of this is Apple’s fault. They were part of the head council of the Kronos group responsible for Vulkan, but chose to implement a proprietary graphics API (Metal) over just rolling Vulkan… Developers obviously don’t want to support an additional graphics library on top of what they already do (significant effort) so you lose a lot of games that would’ve been otherwise marginally expensive to port over.
A full year of multi month hikes across the world. I want to see it all and meet new people.

There’s more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It’s an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
I pasted some links, but the DoE says groundwater will most likely be contaminated. Depends on who you trust and how willing you are to suffer radioactive contamination. Granted, it’s probably a better risk profile than say… Coal… But that doesn’t change the fact we have no good longterm plan to store any amount of radioactive waste, and if history is your teacher, a plan will most likely not come to fruition.
Honestly, despite all of nuclears many benefits, there’s still no good action plan for the significant amounts of substantially dangerous waste it leaves around. Hard to figure out a storage plan for an invisible poison seeping from a rock for the next 50,000 years.
You know, almost every phone still has an ir blaster… It’s just not made Available to you.

Those words proved the folly of the “free as in freedom” open source many moons ago.
This ignores so much that has been fought for and done by so many politicians who actually have a desire to make things better. It’s honestly disgraceful you’re that bitter you can’t see the good faith efforts that have been made.
3·11 days agoI will say I’ve never ever even once had an issue with my M1 pro 16", can’t say that about any other laptop I’ve owned (be it battery swelling, software bugs, or “issues” one learns to live with like sleep mode causing boot crashes or sleep mode draining battery %). Kinda amazing in hindsight.
You literally cannot mess with your emissions system legally… nor can you disable or modify certain safety systems (seat belts, etc). Software that goes into vehicles requires validation testing. You might be fine doing 1 off things, but there will never be a “flash able” car on the market that let’s you bring your own software, and honestly I’m good with that. I don’t need your massive multiple ton machine bluescreening down the highway or locking up the breaks randomly because you installed the wrong module.
That’ll literally never happen due to testing and safety requirements.
Fingerprints are fake science and not really admissible in court these days. You actually do share your fingerprint with other humans, at least on the scales we can measure it, and thus it’s unreliable. The only reason it works for phones/etc is that a 1 in 50,000 false positive rate is “good enough”.
Multicast still requires more expensive less widespread bandwidth than sending out analog signals ota & shooting off a few packets of encryption information every now and then. US infrastructure has rapidly improved over the past few years, but we’re still a farcry from anything robust and reliable enough to serve the people benefiting from this type of content.
How I imagine you responding to your singular downvoter:
I’d recommend against it. Apple’s software ecosystem isn’t as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you’ll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.
And yes, I’ve tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you’re hosting a service.
