@louis my guess would be SMB/CIFS. SFTP/SSH or any of the other things such as SSHFS can be heavily bottlenecked by ssh. WebDAV isn’t exactly performant.
@puppygirlhornypost@louis it's really annoying that it's faster to pipe tar over ssh than copying a folder recursively with sftp as soon as there's more than a handful files. like just do it in parallel ffs
Apple about to include ChatGPT and Gemini in iOS 18, against concerns of some executives.
> [Apple] Executives are said to have had concerns about reputational damage from a "rogue chatbot," while some people within Apple are even said to have a "philosophical aversion" to having a chatbot integrated into Apple software.
Tim Cook will do it anyway to make stakeholders happy.
@louis this was actually positive news for once I was a bit worried. Find it really inspiring that the founder used SerenityOS' development to distract from bad habits.
The last few days I contributed a bit to the Snac codebase, fixing some issues, adding some features, making it more compatible with mobile apps and Tokodon using the Mastodon API.
The most recent version is running on our experimental instance https://snac.emacs.ch
If you want to sign-up, drop me a DM.
If you want to run your own Fediverse server, Snac is clearly the best alternative available right now:
Next step is to make it fully compatible with mastodon.el.
It's written in C, and the only dependency is on libcurl. Running it is a matter of make install and it works on Linux and BSDs alike.
I rarely contribute to open source projects, but Snac is an exception because I think that the Fediverse deserves a truly minimalistic project like this and the maintainer @grunfink is an amazing person to work with.
@pkw I love the spirit of BSD/MIT licenses, or generally the UNIX spirit of unrestricted cooperation.
For a hypothetical project like this however, and since this would be a network server hosting user data, the AGPL license would probably provide for better protection against potential abuse/modification, given that everyone who modifies it would have to make the source code available for download.
But only because people (especially US Americans) didn't know what Communism and socialism really is. They use these two words now to tag things with a cogitation.
That at it's about political system that deals with the means of production (capital, work) and who controls them is oblivious to them.
And so e.g. healthcare, Unions, and FOSS software is tagged, or should I write brandished, by then. In a derogatory spirit. That however only speaks about their education level and prejudices, not about healthcare, Unions and FOSS in general.
@louis I'd be curious what you think about alternatives.
I never loved the mastodon tech stack or politics.
I try to always call it activity pub and hopefully, be on something more generically activity pub someday.
@louis I do not think you understand what this PR is about or what is does. It does not collect anything about what you search for, and there is no personal data involved here. You can see this as "improved web logs”. OpenTelemetry is an open protocol to collect technical traces of request to have a better overview of their performance.
It is disabled by default, and only useful for admins who want to work on improving Mastodon's performance.
The #Apple trap: "You have used 2048GB in your 2TB iCloud Family plan. Please upgrade to the 6TB plan for only $35/month so your wife and kids can store even more useless selfie-videos." 🍎 😠
@withoutclass@louis came here to say that. I had a slight chuckle with the juxtaposition of „my [single] 16TB drive [holding all of my photos]“ and #riskmanagement
Though I am sure that @publicvoit has backups in place, judging by the website
OMG, I love #OpenBSD. Never seen a major update on a [Li|U]n[u|i]x OS going through so smooth. And the sysmerge command that walks you through every config file change and let's you diff/merge/install them, is the perfect icing on the cake. 🍰
@louis My company machine had several major updates of Debian (whenever a new stable came out) followed through successfully. And with no hiccups. I never installed from scratch in 12 years, always updated.
At home I cannot say this ... but only because I use Debian Unstable there, a rolling release system. So there aren't major releases there by definition.
@louis I have not heard of anyone referring to SUS in any context for more than 10 years. POSIX 2018 (i.e. POSIX.1-2017, do not ask) is currently the theoretical reference to be portable on Unix-like systems.
Of course no one bothers getting POSIX certified nowadays, so as usual test and add workarounds as needed.
