What do you mean by personal package manager?

What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

It depends on whether those dependencies are shared with other programs.

Somebody hit the token chain jackpot

Do you have any sources about this?

I had suspected stuff like this happened at the end of WW2 but I’ve never heard any concrete stories

Waiting for a 8x1B MoE

Ironically thanks in no small part to Facebook releasing Llama and kind of salting the earth for similar companies trying to create proprietary equivalents.

Nowadays you either have gigantic LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters like Claude and ChatGPT or you have open Models that are sub-200B.

What’s great about lawsuits like this is you really only have to prove intent and they have a record of them asking for similar imagery.

Easiest? Tailscale., set it up on the server and each client you want to access it and it creates auto-resolving P2P VPN tunnels between them all.

I used to work for an algorithmic advertising company.

The gist is that if you get one big spender it offsets the cost of losing a thousand or more other people because those large contracts usually last past the official sale

Isn’t fusion power not as clean as people say it is?

The Practicalities of actual fusion reactors make this seem a lot less appealing than I think I grew up hearing.

I’m happy to see china continue to pump resources into their clean energy mix, but at the same time it feels like this entire concept might end up being more of a meme than we think.

Good luck! Feel free to DM me I’d you have any questions!

You can start a different TTY than the install automatically starts. Guix has a ‘guix system init‘ command you can point to a system config and mounted filesystem, much like arch’s system init.

If you use the curses-based installer it auto-generates a system config file for you.

Note that the base configuration is entirely libre kernel so some drivers may not work (like wifi)

In order to get these working out of the box you have to make a boot iso with guix with a non-libre kernel.

The system crafters channel has a guide that details using nonguix (a non-libre kernel channel) in the installation out of the box: https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/

They can’t form new trade unions because everyone already has to join a registered trade union.

Doing a reconfigure right after a pull and half the packages don’t have substitutes yet 😭

Active GuixSD user.

Our application catalog is much smaller than many other distros simply because we don’t have the userbase large enough to surface the volunteers necessary to support it. So you will have to learn to write your own packages eventually

That said, if you know your way around functional languages (in this case, scheme), it’s probably the easiest time I’ve ever had writing a package. Everything that goes into the script is known at the time the script is written, so weird extrinsic problems don’t really occur after you’ve written the package.

Some stuff that you and the guix maintainers may not have the time to support will also get updated more slowly.

Luckily flatpak exists, and is a godsend for the new wave of read-only (functional/ostree-based) OSs.

Biggest appeal for me was having all my configuration in one place (and documented) so if I forget I did something in 6 months, it’s always staring at me in my home or system config file. You can accomplish the same thing by being diligent with say, script files, but it’s drop-dead easy to just maintain a system and home descriptor file and keep editing that.

Most data centers evaporative cooling from what I understand, and according to This

Cooling towers use water evaporation to reject heat from the data center causing losses approximately equal to the latent heat of vaporization for water, along with some additional losses for drift and blowdown. In larger data centers this on site water consumption can be significant, with data centers that have 15 MW of IT capacity consuming between 80-130 million gallons annually. n this study, on-site water consumption is estimated at 1.8 liters (0.46 gallons) per kWh of total data center site energy use for all data centers except for closet and room data centers, which are assumed to use direct expansion (air-cooled chillers).

And seeing as hyperscale data centers usually use between 20-50 megawatts per data center, and there’s three of them in Colon, that’s like at least 240 million gallons of water a year.

Yikes.

The problem is that the Linux kernel is monolithic so introducing rust into it does have certain repercussions about downstream compatibility between modules.

Right now the rust code in the kernel uses c bindings for some things and there’s a not-insignificant portion of C developers who both refuse to use rust and refuse to take responsibility if the code they write breaks something in the rust bindings.

If it was pure C there would be no excuse as the standard for Linux development is that you don’t break downstream, but the current zeitgeist is that Rust being a different language means that the current C developers have no responsibility if their code refactoring now breaks the rust code.

It’s a frankly ridiculous stance to take, considering the long history of Linux being very strict on not breaking downstream code.

Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there’s a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik

Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I’m not sure of the sandboxing…

I think it does that for some parts, but it does close the game out and open up folders for some spooks
