IIUC pingora is not standalone, but a set of rust crates? Should be already supported by nixpkgs through rust builders.

Didn’t get a single reqeust, so this had less impact than expected. Thought there was more old rusty companies looking for a non-retired engineer.

I wanted to see what the COBOL job market looked like. So I learned the superficial basics of COBOL in a day or two, just so I wouldn’t be a complete fraud when I put it into my linkedin profile as a skill to see what happens.

What’s the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

What is it that you’re doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support… What’s left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

How do you know?

I’m not sure I agree that Void is a bottom type. If so, void-functions would never be able to return/terminate. Java’s void is probably more of a unit type.

Ineffectively complaining about corporations and changing your own life are not the only two options. That is a conveniently simplified view that just serves to make everyone feel better about using paper straws.

A third option is to try to make effective change. Real change requires significant investment of energy, time and maybe money. Lobbying, campaigning, making noise, seeking and rallying larger groups of people; politics. Make youtube videos, radio shows, interviews - chain yourself to a tree, whatever… Any of those are better than recycling unrecyclable plastic.

Making meaningful change in a society is hard work. You can’t just keep living your life and pat yourself on the back just because you stopped buying that one Néstle product you know about.

Who?

Many who don’t see the danger were not here in the 2000’s. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE’ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there’s not any money in that and killed the projects.

Even if it’s good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they’ll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.

That’s correct. It’s also horrible for the comments section because people hate-downvote comments they disagree with, which in turn leads to people avoiding making possibly unpopular comments. It’s really hurtful to meaningful discussion.

Sad that this article contains almost no information other than “malware attacks your ssh”. Well… I guess I better buy their firewall if they’re not telling me what to fix.

One of the main devs github, check out their essays repo. They have control over the next server and client binaries (mobile app).

What happens if they decide it’s time for the revolution?

As a tech savy person, I can confidently say lemmy is not a viable reddit alternative at this stage for an arbitrary reddit user. The UI and clients are just terrible and full of small bugs, annoyances and inconsistencies. Sure, it will eventually get there, but negative opinions about lemmy are not completely unmerrited. Just as I’m typing this, I get screen tears and flickering elements. It’s just very, very bleeding edge and I can absolutely see how someone trying it for 5 minutes would be turned off. If you want to capture the masses, the user experience has to impeccable.

PS: my first try at submitting this response timed out. This is my second try.

They did the same thing with jabber / XMPP back in the day. There was a time where I could use my jabber accout to talk to ppl on FB. They (and also Google) turned that off and unfederated. They’ll do the same thing here.
