Reproducible Builds: Final Step In FOSS Validation #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/fPUSssZwvLQ
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I did looked into reproducible builds on alpine though!

And found that the package metadata is file system dependant...



When did you start offering swimming lessons @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online?


I wrote four thousand words on the follies of Humane, theories of what happened, and why you can't build Apple within the Venture Capital system. Enjoy.

What an amazing story. It would make a great movie!

How German Librarians Finally Caught an Elusive Book Thief


In the afternoon of February 21, 2006, Norbert Schild sat down at a desk in the reading room of the City Library of Trier, in western Germany, and opened a 400-year-old book on European geography. Working quickly, Schild laid a piece of blank white paper on top of the book, took a boxcutter from his lap, and discreetly sliced out a map of Alsace from pages 375 and 376.

Schild hadn’t noticed that the desks of two librarians, who were normally tasked with locating books for readers, were raised about three feet above the floor—giving them a clear view of his movements. They approached Schild and asked him what he was doing.

“It was worth a try,” Schild told them. He tossed his library card down on the table and hurried out of the building, taking the map with him.

@Gargron Is the mailing list sign-up the same one as the one for the other merch mails or is it the same list? Just want to know if I need to sign up again 😀

I am no expert on how precomputed shaders work but are they not specific to the GPU model you are running on? If so wouldn't that cause more pain than gain unless you are running an rdna 2 GPU?

You've seen package managers
You've seen piping curl into bash
But have you ever seen sourcing a script from curl every time you launch the shell
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I do enjoy making spawning a new shell dependant on network connectivity.

Gives it that real living on the cloud feeling.

Just saw this—my #GovernableSpaces interview with the great theorist and journalist of technology Mike Masnick is up and out on the Techdirt Podcast: techdirt.com/2024/04/09/techdi…

I hugely admire Mike's grounded thinking on protocols and decentralization. This was a really fun conversation.



I guess I can just give up now, my channel is complete
