overview for bonus

Its mainly a matter of stabilizing existing features in the language - there are rust modules in the linux kernel as of 6.1 but they have to be compiled with the nightly compiler.

Rust is a very slow moving , get it right the first time esque, project. Important and relatively fundamental stuff is currently and has been useable and 99% unchanging for years but hasnt been included in the mainline compiler.

Also certain libraries would be fantastic to have integrated into the standard library, like tokio, anyhow, thiserror, crossbeam, rayon, and serde. If that ever happens though itll be in like a decade.

true but if its truly end to end encrypted it cant be moderated.

between this and mega its clear they want your files easy to reach and access, privacy and security be damned.

the internet should be free for the same reason we have the 2nd amendment - its necessary for exposing and opposing tyranny.

so kill telegram and watch criminal orgs and militant groups just spin up their own servers or use encrypted radio or just encrypt messages themselves to send through any other platform.

its the cops and feds job to investigate these people, they didnt need a fucking all seeing AI to do it in the prior century and they dont now.

i mean seriously what happened to sting operations? its so damn easy to catch predators n shit on discord, and these telegrams are easy enough to join. do actual detective work smfh .

Migrating System to NVME RAID0 : Update (self.linux)

First of all, thanks to everyone who came out and offered their suggestions and advice yesterday when I asked about setting up my UM890 from minisforum in RAID0.

Many called me mad for going for RAID0 here but ... shrug its not my only computer so I'm ok being a bit risky here.
My original plan was to backup, set up the drives in raid, install nobara on the raid array, and ride off into the sunset.

That was a bad plan.

Timeshift froze while backing up, and worse, back in time froze while restoring.
Repeatedly.
Even when booting from a live usb and without enabling RAID.
Wasted several hours trying variations of that ... my USB drive is kinda slow.

On my last post someone suggested I simply add the new drive to an existing btrfs file system, then switch to a raid0 profile.
That was a good plan, and ultimately what I ended up doing after my plan failed.

https://serverfault.com/questions/213861/multi-device-btrfs-filesystem-with-disk-of-different-size

Commands I ran on my machine :
sudo fdisk -l
sudo lsblk
sudo mkdir /mnt/drive1
sudo btrfs device add /dev/nvme1n1 /mnt/drive1 -f
btrfs filesystem df /
sudo btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0 /

Performance
In case the image doesn't show, 6230MBps Seq Read, 758Mbps 4k Rnd Read, 4496MBps Seq Write, 292.6 4k Rnd Write.
6229 read 4497 write

PS
Even though my restore failed, the files were all there so I didn't lose anything , I just had to reinstall all my programs and such.
Also enable nvme raid in the BIOS before you do anything else.

I'd appreciate a sanity check for what I'm planning to do later today.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently. It has 2 m.2 nvme ports. I have the system running nobara off one drive currently, the other is unfilled. The drive has file system encryption enabled.

I backed up the root folder of my system to a 128gb usb using backintime. I enabled encryption when asked.

I plan to install a second ssd, enable raid 0 striping on the 2 drives in bios, boot from a live USB, then install nobara onto the new raid storage.

After that, i should be able to reinstall backintime then restore my backup right?

Are these batteries a scam? (www.lifepo4-battery.com)

I've been planning a conversion on my 2000 chevy s10 with the emrax 348 for a while, and I came across these while searching for a battery. They claim a charge / discharge of 50C and 60C respectively. Wtf. The brand is reputable though, but I didn't think this was possible ...

How does https prevent man in the middle? (self.programming)

Say Alice wants to open up an HTTPS connection to Bob through a proxy named Earl.

What prevents Earl from reading alices request, opening a connection pretending to be bob, and then opening a https connection with bob pretending to be Alice , and snooping on the traffic as it passes through ?

Why no high power mini PCs? (self.pcmasterrace)

submitted 1 year ago by bonus_crab to c/pcmasterrace

All the NUCs and other mini PCs I see run mobile processors.

It's a shame because a simple downdraft air cooler with a 120mm fan can handle a pretty high power load and could definitely fit in a tiny space.

Add a few thunderbolt ports and you could have a capable and upgradeable little pc.
