I finished it but I am not satisfied. It could have had more examples on the main techniques, like how to construct the totality claims and such. It did not feel like by the end I understood the main principles, if there were any.

Apple announced that they will be using their own chips; I wonder how that will effect x86's monopoly on desktop computing.

NPC 07/09/20 (Thu) 23:52:41 No.327

>>319
It probably won't. Macs already had compatibility issues with things made for PCs (e.g. Linux), so I doubt widening that gap further will change much. Then again, I tend to be continuously surprised at what kind of cues tech companies take from Apple. Like, it didn't surprise me at all when iPhone abandoned headphone jacks, but I was absolutely baffled when other phone companies followed suit.
If anything breaks the x86 monopoly, I really hope it's something open source like RISC-V and not just companies trying to copy Apple's dumb bullshit. Who am I kidding though, that's not gonna be the case.

Running a chan NPC 08/26/19 (Mon) 18:17:35 No.144 [Reply]

Have you ever operated a chan?

What does it take, in terms of memory, CPU, bandwidth and disk space to run a chan? Let's suppose it's at wirechan's posting rate.

What software is best? Vichan? Lynxchan?

Free Software GUI NPC 06/14/20 (Sun) 15:52:02 No.318 [Reply]

What makes the graphical interface of proprietary software superior to that of Free Software solutions? I know that people like to complain about GIMP and others, but I got pretty used to it at this point and never used proprietary alternatives. Are they really that much better? What's the difference?

As someone who uses it for work - WSL is surprisingly non-awful. And having a decent shell and utilities around makes Windows much more tolerable.

The Godot (game engine) discord server had a room where people would post RMS memes. They also had the command .rms.

So one day I was curious and watched a talk of RMS.
And because I'm rational, I could see how objectively everything this man was saying made sense.

Became free a few weeks after. Never looked back. Best choice of my life.

lainchan is being killed by mods who throw warns in every possible direction and remove anything they personally do not like. And since walls of text about politics, drugs and gay shit don't touch their feelings, this is exactly what you will see. Because for generating any other kind of content - even by creating a desktop thread, where title speaks for itself - you get warned for being "not informative enough", or your post gets removed.

>>222
I'm personally tired of shitposting. Meta-shitposting is fine since at least it is something new and unique, limited to one little community, it develops its culture. Seeing the same kinds of posts with le funi memes over and over again is tiring.

lainchan was on its last legs since the arisu split, then after "small" imageboards became cool it was the most targeted one since it was the best one, a while later a the fall of 8chan brought all the stragglers were looking for an alternative because the other boards suck(including 8chan) not realizing they are the reason that it sucks and whenever they go they will bring the decline with them.

Verifying AGPL compilance? Zodiac 02/08/20 (Sat) 10:09:14 No.206 [Reply]

With the GPL, for any binary that you distribute, you have to make the corresponding source code available. With reproducible builds (see: https://reproducible-builds.org/), it is possible to verify that the binary was indeed compiled from the available source code. All you have to do is to compile the source code yourself, and compare the resulting binary with the one distributed. For an example of this in practice, see guix's `challange` command.

With the AGPL, if you run a service accessible through a network, you have to make the corresponding source code to the service available to the users. But is there a way for the user to verify that the service provided corresponds to the source code available? I can't think of any situation where the service couldn't just simply lie about what it is.

Zodiac 02/08/20 (Sat) 10:41:07 No.207

I believe this to be very important in today's climate where every megacorporation tries to paint themselves to be great supporters of "open source" and many of our organizations are funded by their "generous donations". But the problem is that they don't give a shit about software freedom. Take Visual Studio Code for example. Microsoft used to advertise it as being Open Source, and millions in good faith downloaded binaries of it. Until a careful eye noticed that the source code released as "Visual Studio Code" was different from the binaries released as "Visual Studio Code". In fact, the binaries even have their own license agreement that you have to accept to use them. After being called out on it, Microsoft modified their website and now Visual Studio Code only claims that it was "built on Open Source", as if that was something to be proud of. But the damage has already been done. I think Docker employed (or still employs) similar tricks. The problem is, pushover (so-called "permissive") licenses do not protect you from this trickery at all. With copyleft licenses, the source code of the binary has to be provided. But with pushover licenses, corporations can put some crippled version of their software on Github as bait, and distribute proprietary versions of it in binary form. This is why I think verifying source-to-binary correspondence, enabled by bootstrappable and reproducible builds, is so important.
