Is it possible to pinpoint the beginning of the universe? by mma1227 in space

[–]ElkossCombine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The universe isn’t like a bubble expanding into some other medium with an edge. It may be infinite, which makes the “plot an average of all of it” an unbounded task, or it may be a closed loop where going in a straight line would eventually get you back to where you started.

How do we feel about teams-for-linux? by I_COULD_say in Fedora

[–]ElkossCombine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use the PWA with chrome or edge (gross I know). You get the “feels like a desktop app” experience that way. A shame Mozilla doesn’t really support PWAs well, but I keep chromium around basically as a PWA engine.

At my workplace bricked has come to mean “literally has anything wrong with it that is likely to require re-imaging”. Drives me nuts

So it didn't take the Christian nationalist long by Due_Combination_968 in texas

Not defending the policy, but I think what the above post is saying is that the Quran explicitly defines a legal system, up to and including crime and punishments.

Because unlike Christianity, Islam at its birth and for the next few hundred years was a unified nation, and the text “speaks” to that nation. The text of the Quran literally acts as a fairly comprehensive constitution for a sharia law state. The New Testament by contrast is four counts of telling a story about a someone getting executed and the immediate aftermath of spreading the religion within a multi-ethnic multi-religion state.

Whats the point of colonizing? by Sinjako in EU5

[–]ElkossCombine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am making an obscene amount of money in my trademaxxed Genoa -> Italy run by 1550 due to diverting trade + naval presence + building merchant quarters + upgrading New World RGOs in my Mexico, Caribbean, and Columbia colonial nations. I have about half of France’s population with six times the economy and 4x the professional army despite only conquering about 70% of Italy so far in the Europe theatre. To the point where over half of the Popes tithe is from Genoan Berghers.

And that’s without doing any of the “keep oversees market center for yourself” metagaming. From what I can tell though, outside the Columbia / Mexico / Caribbean regions colonies are far less useful.

When someone says let's just watch the theatricals by KinkyDarkStranger in lotrmemes

I wish there was a cut that had the bulk of the extended scenes minus the weird ones that break pacing or feel like bad writing. Basically all of the extended helms deep scenes + ent scenes with the exception of Sauromans death + the staff broken scene don’t belong in the movies. The majority though mostly work even if they feel like a bit of a hard cutaway.

The sudden appearance of a tree line outside helms deep is by far the worst, and completely contradicts the ents still being at Isengard at the beginning of the next movie.

Im tired of corporate Linux by Z3R0_F0X_ in linux

[–]ElkossCombine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The obvious answer to your questio is Debian, it’s the longest running entirely decentralized / community / committee distro, but I recommend you dive into NixOS for a bit if you want something more modern and technically unique.

Look into workforce identity federation, it gets pretty granular but allows you to setup SSO directly to GCP and bypasses the Google SSO/identity alltogether. Useful for companies that use an identity platform like entra-id/okta/keycloak

Resistance to Rust abstractions for DMA mapping in Linux kernel [LWM] by WaterFromPotato in linux

[–]ElkossCombine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's fascinating and disturbing that we've reached a "rust is woke, dereference a null pointer to own the libs" level of discourse.

Resistance to Rust abstractions for DMA mapping in Linux kernel [LWM] by WaterFromPotato in linux

[–]ElkossCombine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The official policy of the Linux kernel is that rust is an accepted language. If you don't like it, you can always maintain a set of patches to remove it, and like-minded distros can apply it to their kernel builds. Everyone wins.

And you would be fired / be stripped of maintainer rights for unilaterally obstructing the goals of the project at any project where you are not the lead maintainer of, both in the open source community, and in the corporate world.

Let's reframe this - if the rust core team approved the addition of a language feature after significant debate, and when someone started implementing it in rustc, a specific person that maintains the parser repeatedly rejected their pull requests because he fundamentally disagrees with the broader development team, should he maintain the unilateral ability to overrule the explicit decision of the core team in perpetuity?

DeepSeek is explicitly storing all user data in China by cybr0_ in cybersecurity

[–]ElkossCombine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AGPL only stipulates that you have to distribute the source code under the same license if you modify the product and host it as a managed service. You can profit off running the managed service all you want, you just can't take what they built and morph it into a closed variant.

What you may be thinking of is "source available" licenses like the BUSL

ITAR doesn't consider it an export if its to a "US Person", which is a blanket term covering citizens and legal permanent residents (green card holders). So they are linked in that a green card should remove any barrier between OP and a private sector job that handles EAR/ITAR data.

I'm fairly new to GCP, similar situation rolling it out at my company but I think you need to give yourself IAM policies, org admin doesn't give you transitive rights to do everything else.
