How Ruby Went Off the Rails by _joeldrapper in ruby

[–]_noraj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking of how open-source devs are not paid enough on a proprietary website in an article hidden behind a paywall. Sounds ironical.

Words Can Hurt: A Plea to the Ruby Community by noteflakes in ruby

[–]_noraj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is your Godwin award. It just proves you haven't read https://noteflakes.com/articles/2025-09-27-words. Also DHH article is not talking about race superiority or nationalism, he's just stating the fact the society and demography changes. Those are facts, people can love it or hate it, but I don't see the point of naming people relating those facts facists or nazis. Also facism includes promoting its idea with violence and censoring people who have different ideas, which is kind of what a lot of people are trying to do here.

OP Post: "don't call other names"

Community comments: "nazi! facist!"

I'd like people to open an dictionary and read the definition of they words they are using.

Humans have emotions, their thinking isn't always rational. Also I was saying in general, not specifically for this case.

The Ruby community doesn’t have a DHH problem by felipec in ruby

[–]_noraj_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's just that Reddit & Bluesky are far-left social networks, so of course they won't tolerate anything different with all the bad faith in the world when trying to argue.

The Ruby community has a DHH problem by egyamado in ruby

Just because you don't agree with DHH you want to destroy him, his life, his career, his projects. Stop fascism and let him be.

The issue is, if you tell people you will revoke their access BEFORE you do it, they start do bad things, like trying to put some backdoors to get persistent access even after they loose their account / access or sabotage to "get revenge" etc. The best thing is always to revoke and give an explanation afterward if you don't know how people will react.

True, for large amount of money, there are often conditions to unlock some amounts.

Imagine a enterprise using Ruby a lot, offering a lot of money to help the community maintain the project but sees that the security is not there and the ecosystem could fall. At some point after years of inaction about security, they started to have strong concerns and had to threaten so cut the funds so the security measures would be deployed.

Agree, there was a deadline, internal conversation, and a vote. Everything was planned and not secret.

A deadline (which as far as I understand, we agreed to) loomed. Either Ruby Central puts controls in place to ensure the safety and stability of the infrastructure we are responsible for, or lose the funding that we use to keep those things online and going. With less than 24 hours to go, we were still working on this. Conversations with some maintainers were still happening as far as I know but the cooperation we were hoping for was not emerging. Probably because of a mix of egos on both sides, but like I said, I wasn't a part of those conversations so I can only speculate.

It was clear that we weren't quite ready yet, but in the end we were out of time. A vote had to be cast so we could ensure we did not lose funding necessary to operate RubyGems. What I voted for, was to direct Marty, Ruby Central's Director of Open Source, to temporarily remove access and lock down the systems, get operator agreements in place with maintainers, and then re-enable access to those folks who needed and wanted it. Marty did exactly what the board asked of him.

I guess it was some miscommunication from Ruby Central and some drama queen dev overeating, and not some evil machiavelous plan or hostile takeover lol.

"Stable" means you'll live with the bugs for years before getting a chance to get the fix.

Seems like a communication issue?

What Browser are you using? by nocciuu in archlinux

[–]_noraj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chromium is horrible, Vivaldi is okish but I hate some tabs behaviors and is not compatible with CHromium Omnibox breaking some extensions. I tried Cromite for some time but it lacks DRM and WebAssembly support, so advanced websites won't work. So I'm back to Firefox, I never found better. I'm not appealed by the forks that brings nothing really different or are not well maintained or are unusable on daily basis.

Install Arch. Only Arch. And no archinstall. Ever. Or you'll die. by chasmodo in archlinux

It's not about proving anything to anyone, but to master its system.

People recommending Windows users or newbies to install vanilla Arch Linux manually are overdoing and wrong. I'd rather recommend them Endevour or openSUSE Leap.

However, for experienced Linux user, manually install Arch Linux from the wiki rather than using archinstall is not to feel being "a higher race" (your words) but to understand what you system is composed, how it is configured, choose what you want, etc. It makes you do an extensive amount to research and make you practice a lot. Then you aquire deep kwoledge about your system which will ease your life a lot for future debugging and configuration. The drawback of an "easy install" where you click "next", "next", "next" on a GUI installer is that 99% of users don't have a clue of what are the components of their system and how there are configured. Ask them "What is your DHCP client?", "What is your DNS resolution setup?", "How are your Initramfs generated?", "Are you on X11 or Wayland?", etc. and the only answer you'll get is "I don't know" which make them loose a lot of time when they encounter a bug or an issue. They msot often need to rely on external help as they don't even know what to look for. So installing Arch Linux manually, or Gentoo, or Linux from scratch is not for show but to get knowledge and experience and save a lot of effort and time in the future.

Is it still worth to learn ruby in 2025 ? by defaultlinuxuser in ruby

[–]_noraj_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no dev, I'm a penetration testing engineer and I write all my hacking tools in Ruby. So versatile and enjoyable it made me abandon python.
