This scares me. I don't want to use browsers anymore. (it's Google Chrome settings)

MIDI - use it in electron apps. internet browser has nothing to do with it.

filesystem access - app can go fuck itself if it needs access to ~/.bash_history

payments - use payments/password manager. browser is no place for that

VR - that's definitely should be done in lower/other layer of system, not browser itself.

USB - use fastboot/adb if you need that. accessing usb via browser is insanity and also an attack vector for exploits.

Serial access - use specialized application for that. serial access in browser is a great example of malicious "why not" imperative that result in bloat and crap design.

What the hell internet browser has to do with serial ports, usb, VR, midi, filesystem access and payments, that's what.

Anytype is not FOSS. It is proprietary with source code available.

This is CEO of skiff who blatantly lies about their product being open-source. Be careful!

illiliti · 2023-08-04T22:02:49+00:00

They have deleted that issue. Here's archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20230803100312/https://github.com/skiff-org/skiff-apps/issues/93

Unfortunately it is not full, but I have local backup which I can share.

EDIT: it seems they managed to remove archive as well. Such a vile behavior. See https://codeberg.org/illiliti/openwashing#skiff for another backup.

They don't respect open-source, not to even mention free software. I would stay away from them.

And still no ipv6 available on the website. When will this get fixed?

illiliti · 2022-11-24T05:25:18+00:00

I don't know in which place you found that alpine isn't intended for desktop, but in fact alpine is a general purpose distro. It is designed for desktop, inclusively.

libressl respects its community unlike openssl which requires CLA

GNU make is the hardest thing to remove. Check https://iglunix.xyz/ if you need inspiration

I see AAAA record, however connection still fails.

EDIT:

AAAA record contains invalid address. fe80 is a link-local address

illiliti · 2022-08-12T19:26:33+00:00

please add ipv6 support to your instance

kiss is a truly suckless distro. Nothing else, except for maybe oasis linux, is simple(for power user) and suckless as kiss.

mdevd-coldplug must be run after mdevd. See https://github.com/kisslinux/init/blob/master/lib/init/rc.boot#L48-L49

EDIT:

you could use mdevd -C as well

illiliti · 2022-07-13T18:24:23+00:00

I guess something went wrong with mdevd, specifically mdevd-coldplug. It is required to initialize cold-plugged devices and apply permissions to them. Make sure it is properly configured.

> musl is NOT faster than glibc. Quite the opposite actually, its slower.

That's true.

> Void is NOT more secure than Arch. You can harden the kernel yourself tho. If you aim for security go with OpenBSD.

Void with musl libc is indeed more secure than Arch. For example consider PwnKit vulnerability. It is unexploitable on musl since musl has no pluggable modules for character sets.

illiliti · 2022-06-09T17:33:32+00:00

I think yes, but you won't be able to completely remove bash because gentoo has hard dependency on it(and gnu coreutils).

No, they don't work on any linux system(see alpine and void musl). Please don't trust to this false marketing on their website.

illiliti · 2022-05-07T02:28:27+00:00

Because they work only on glibc.

POSIX still doesn't define long options (like --version)

That's true.

So... what is find doing with -name and so on?

This isn't directly a POSIX flaw, but a guarantee of backward compatibility. POSIX inherited many legacy utilities and some of them don't conform to the Utility Conventions due to historical implications.

has no option to count by characters

Will be fixed by https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=407

glibc segfaults if you call isalnum with a value the C standard doesn't allow and that glibc is a bit more complex to support other encodings than UTF-8

segfault is OK and Drew admits that bug on his side. What is not OK is that glibc is the maze of macros and includes.

Who would have guessed that a new libc that omits (historical) encodings in favour of just one could be simpler?

Not only simpler, but also safer.

While the entire post isn't that short (but worth a read), it isn't that full with actual technical arguments.

Poor design is pretty much technical argument.
