I’m not sure I see the urgency? Plenty of organizations in the US love free software, OSU wouldn’t be providing hosting if they didn’t. Additionally most of Europe isn’t exactly a bastion of privacy. There are certainly exceptions, notably Switzerland but the majority isn’t that much better if you ask me. I’m also not entirely sure how privacy is all that relevant to where websites and source code is hosted, these projects aren’t storing personal information. I think the important thing is that these projects are hosted and that funding is found. Where they’re hosted is mostly irrelevant.

My machine says that network is unreachable

I’m surprised we don’t all need help from the JS creator given the insanity of that languages type coercion system.

I guess I just feel like if you’re manually configuring BTRFS you’ll either use it like a regular FS, or you’ll set it up to make use of the features in which case you’ll probably setup both automatic snapshots and cleanup. Possibly with auto scrubbing too. I don’t really see a situation where someone who manually opts to use it sets up snapshotting manually and then doesn’t setup any form of cleanup.

If you’re running btrfs manually and don’t setup clean up scripts I’m slightly confused how you get into trouble in the first place since that also means there won’t be any automated snapshots.

There are several different distro’s built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro’s than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.

I feel like malbolge is a much better fit for chaotic evil than brain fuck is but I agree with the rest

That is pretty much what it does except it doesn’t hardcode \n but instead uses the proper line ending for the platform it’s running on.

But it’s still not a guarantee

Or just the usernames

The hand on the kids head is more terrifying than comforting, WTF

Acts like SVN and CVS didn’t exist

I’m not sure that would’ve made a difference. It already makes you go out of your way to force a broken package. This has been discussed in places before but the simple fact of the matter is a user that doesn’t understand what they’re doing will perservere. Putting up barriers is a good thing to do to protect users, spending all your time and effort to cover every edge case is a waste of time because users will find ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

I also feel incredibly uncomfortable with this. Ultimately it comes down to if you trust the application or not. If you do then this isn’t really a problem as regardless they’re getting code execution on your machine. If you don’t, well then don’t install the application. In general I don’t like installing applications that aren’t from my distro’s official repositories but mostly because I like knowing at least they trust it and think it’s safe, as opposed to any software that isn’t which is more of an unknown.

Also it’s unlikely for the script to be malicious if the application is not. Further, I’m not sure a manual install really protects anyone from anything. Inexperienced users will go through great lengths and jump through some impressive hoops to try and make something work, to their own detriment sometimes. My favorite example of this is the LTT Linux challenge. apt did EVERYTHING it could think to do to alert that the steam package was broken and he probably didn’t want to install it, and instead of reading the error he just blindly typed out the confirmation statement. Nothing will save a user from ruining their system if they’re bound and determined to do something.

Fair, should’ve just said shell

…this is so much more cursed than it needs to be. If you want to bash in C just system("echo hello world");

“Write it in a paper”…I’m not sure how that works but I am very curious

I wasn’t referring to single player

Well yeah, we all know Minecraft’s code is terrible. I just never felt like it was noticeable without mods

Huh, not my experience but last time I operated a public server was beta 1.7 days. It was bukkit which I believe was a separate impl which maybe was faster? But I don’t recall having nearly that many issues, was vanilla outside of bukkit plugins though.
