CryptPad is absolutely fantastic. Easy to host and secure design.

I can understand Hellwig's fear, though.

From what I gather as a bystander, it's apparently common that a refactoring in your module that breaks its API will involve fixing all the call-sites to keep the effort on the person responsible for the change. Now the Rust maintainers say "it's fine; if it breaks, we'll deal with it" which is theoretically takes away the cross-language issue for the C-maintainer. Practically I can very well see, that this will still cause friction in the future.

Let's say such a change happens and at that time there's a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it's really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

As someone who just wants to get shit done, I would definitely have that fear.

(That doesn't mean it's still a bullet not worth swallowing. The change overall can still be worth the friction. I am just saying that I think it's not totally unwarranted that a maintainer feels affected by this even though current pledges from the other parties promise otherwise; this stance can change or at least be challenged over and over.)

It was an example. I don't have a fucking clue how all the maintainers are named.

The main question was: why can a maintainer NACK something not in their responsibility? Isn't it simply necessary to find one maintainer who is fine with it and pulls it in?

Or even asked differently: shouldn't you need to find someone who ACKs it rather than caring about who NACKs it?

Can a maintainer really NACK any patch they dislike? I mean I get that Hellwig said he won't merge it. Fine. What if for example Kroah-Hartman says "whatever, I like it" and merges it nonetheless in his tree?

Damn, so that was the issue. I spent 2h trying around with different packages I suspected to cause an error during start. Then I desperately moved my .config dir out of the way to rule out an incompatible config and lo and behold... it worked. I then moved it back and tried to delete configs more finegranular. After a few iterations without success I just removed almost all kde and plasma related configs and reconfigured everything from scratch. I should have scrolled through my feed earlier 😁

The second one gives you the necessary flashbacks to catch up if you should intend to follow the story. It also explains all the basics of the game mechanics as part of the quests.

Maybe only using the pause timer would work. Once you start procrastinating, start the timer, allow yourself to do whatever but once the timer is done, back to work.

I even heard people being surprised it's not Geralt. When they were surprised I started to question myself if I just dreamed that they announced that wayyyy back.

Typically I get easily distracted or bored during movies. The only exception in recent years was Oppenheimer. It had such a fantastic pacing that the three hours rushed by and I didn't pick up my phone even once. It was incredible.

Or preferably: don't care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don't build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

Is that really a relevent attack vector in your day to day use, that full disk encryption wouldn't cover? My browser is rarely closed when I am on the PC, so it would be accessible (because unlocked).

Ah, good to know. Thanks!

 

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I also went with an AMD APU, and had driver crashes for a long time when I was in video calls and it had to decode multiple streams. That thankfully stabilized with Linux 6.4.

Since sooo many people in the community swear by AMD, I thought "dammit, let's try it again for my new desktop" and got an 7800rx ... and I have to reboot ~5 times until I finally make it to a running xserver or wayland session. Apparently I am hit by this problem (at least I hope so). But that doesn't even read nice ... the fix seems to be to revert another fix for powermanagement. So I either have a mostly non-booting card or suboptimal power management.

I start to regret having chosen AMD .... again :-/ I seem to be cursed.

"Entschuldigung, es tut mir leid, dass sich mit meinem Begriff 'Nazis' Menschen angesprochen fühlten, welche mit unserer jetzigen Regierung nicht einverstanden sind", schreibt Simmel in dem Text. "Deshalb ist man kein Nazi. Auch ich bin nicht mit unserer jetzigen Regierung einverstanden und hoffe auf Neuwahlen, welche unsere freiheitliche Demokratie stärken." Einige Menschen hätten sich durch die Formulierung angegriffen gefühlt; dafür entschuldige er sich.

Peter Simmel liebe Freiheit und Demokratie und setze sich dafür auch ein. "Nach meinem Verständnis sind Nazis Rechtsradikale, welche unsere Demokratie abschaffen wollen, die Hitlerzeit verherrlichen und in ein solch menschenverachtendes System zurückwollen", sagt er, "in ein System, in welchem Andersdenkende oder Menschen, die nicht bestimmten Vorgaben entsprachen, verfolgt und ermordet wurden."

Durch den Austausch mit Kunden habe er gelernt, dass sich viel mehr Menschen mit dem Wort Nazi identifizieren, als er dachte. "Wahrscheinlich auch deswegen, weil diese Menschen in der Vergangenheit vorschnell in die Nazi-Schublade gesteckt wurden, anstatt sich mit ihren Sorgen auseinandersetzen. Nur weil man gegen die jetzige Regierung ist, ist man selbstverständlich nicht automatisch ein Nazi."
