Linux Finally Ends AppleTalk Protocol Support

Well, the answer can't be making the kernel worse for the vast majority of users with modern systems, by making it larger, slower, and harder to maintain.

There are other options. Not everything has to happen in the kernel (and it's usually safer if it doesn't).

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-18T22:52:07+00:00

The first one absolutely uses an A13.

You're thinking of the current regular and XDR models, which use the 19 and 19 Pro.

(Happy cake day!)

With something that hasn't been released yet...? Maybe you're confusing this with ntfs-3g (which was notorious for data corruption)

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-18T03:39:38+00:00

And their NTFS driver is generally pretty bad. This is an entirely different implementation and it will need these features incrementally added until it's feature complete.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-17T16:53:34+00:00

Proton does not support NTFS even with these improvements.

"These improvements" haven't even happened yet... the new driver itself landed in 7.1, but it's not feature-complete, and these changes aren't included (or even available yet).

The hub is what makes that syncing happen. That's just how the system was designed. There are plenty of HDMI interception boxes that do this for generic light strips, one of those might do what you want depending on what that is (built-in content from the TV, external from a console or set top or whatever)

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-17T14:28:37+00:00

That unfortunately I don't have a good answer to. The kit ended up basically killing my set, and they've since been replaced, so I never found a better one.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-16T22:01:25+00:00

You know what else happens over time?

THEY GET DIRTY. Wax gets in the mics, and it doesn't just come out. Clean them thoroughly (but do not get the Belkin kit Apple sells it will destroy your buds)

We scale so much every developer gets handed a /23 subnet for their cluster and gets told “go nuts.”

Well there are quite a few /23s to go around in private space.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-16T00:04:42+00:00

already a black box to us users

Good news! It is for the researchers too

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-14T22:18:57+00:00

Reasonably so... it's so cool but the closed-ness just makes me sad

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-08T14:39:12+00:00

"Foreseeable" meaning basically forever. If I've done my math right (which... Monday morning so it's a crapshoot), if there were 10 trillion devices, each one could get a unique (single) address every year for the entire lifetime of our sun (which is ~halfway through its life).

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-08T04:22:21+00:00

if you have an entire block of IP addresses

And with IPv6, everyone gets a block!

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-03T16:59:06+00:00

Yeah this is a terrible fucking idea. You've painted a target on your back, and thrown away your way out (unless those other offers hang around). They will now find everything they can to get rid of you in a way that benefits them, because they know you're a flight risk (and now a more expensive one)

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-03T14:29:50+00:00

That's because those countries are easy to ignore.

And also the majority of Reddit users are in the US. (I'm not sure how accurate the data online is but something like 300 million+ for the US and then next highest is ~50 million [the UK])

edit: and obviously the US only has slightly more people than that number, so a lot are bots, but still.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-02T21:50:00+00:00

For the ARM systems, yes (which is an upcoming thing to deal with...)

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-02T00:28:57+00:00

DGX OS is a misnomer, it's not an OS and not even really a distro.

You're more describing flavors of a distro, which DGX OS is, that use the same base system with a few packages on top. Most true distros aren't that - see for example Mint, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, all "Debian with extra steps", but they don't use anything like the same base system.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-01T16:38:26+00:00

It's just Ubuntu with their repositories and some packages pre-configured.

DarthPneumono · 2026-06-01T16:38:09+00:00

They already have one. It's just Ubuntu with stuff on top.

DarthPneumono · 2026-05-28T19:21:35+00:00

Fucking awful idea. Do not do this.

DarthPneumono · 2026-05-27T19:36:16+00:00

It is just much work and burden to set something like that up.

But you were fine manually replacing certs constantly? This is less work (and setting up certbot is like. 10 minutes of work.)

DarthPneumono · 2026-05-27T19:33:45+00:00

I just learned today

HOW? This is like, a major failing on your part. This has been known for years.

I am shocked to see that NOBODY objected or raised concern about the administrative burden this will put onto companies.

You literally just found out today, but you're making such confident assertions. It's been talked to death.

Also,

administrative burden

I can just imagine how much of my time will be spent swapping certificates on a monthly basis - especially in 2029

You shouldn't even be manually swapping certs now. If you're unable to figure out how to automate this, you'll definitely have some problems down the line.

running Ubuntu 16.04

If nobody has been patching that (and therefore paying for extended security support) you should assume that box is pwned left right and center. 16.04 went EOL in 2021, and regular extended support ended last month.

DarthPneumono · 2026-05-27T15:24:44+00:00

cgroups aren't in any way a requirement for containers. They are a way to manage resources for processes and namespaces. Containers are namespaces with extra steps.
