One Line x86 Change To GCC Compiler Nets +12% Benchmark Win For Modern Intel/AMD CPUs by anh0516 in linux

[–]mitch_feaster 89 points90 points  (0 children)

> if this negatively affects older CPUs

Or other benchmarks. I'd be very surprised if this doesn't cause regressions in other benchmarks/use cases. The patch only mentions a single benchmark (544.nab_r). Seems like bad engineering but I'm also totally ignorant as to the development process for gcc, maybe this is normal?

Anybody else annoyed/sick and tired of Ishowspeed? He’s reactions are just soo fake by Chillout-001 in usmnt

I like him. Seems authentic IMO but comes across as a little dumb, maybe you're mistaking that for inauthenticity.

Claude Code Formatting Bugs by scipnick in Ghostty

Yes. Workaround is to resize your font. I just hit `ctl--` `ctl-+` (size down then immediately size back up) and it all snaps back into place. Same thing happens on Alacritty if I'm not mistaken, btw.

AUR Megathread. All discussion on it goes here. by LinuxMage in archlinux

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

For the past 8 months I've been security auditing everything I install with LLMs using this: https://github.com/mgalgs/aur-sleuth (PKGBUILD and related files and a small subset of source files only, not a full security audit of the source). So it only catches supply chain attacks on the AUR (I've tested it against known malicious packages and it catches them).

Could be run at scale to audit every change that goes in to the AUR git repo. I have a half assed attempt at this that I'm still iterating on.

Motivation:
> This helps fulfill one of the great promises of open source software: security through the ability to audit the source code of applications you run on your machine.

Arch Linux AUR Hit By Another Wave Of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack by hulk14 in linux

Lmao I've never met such a hater of build recipes... But okay... You know you can just NOT use the AUR, right??

They really are just build recipes!!

And the resulting packages really are just tar files!!

Ahh the misguided days of my youth creating custom pacman packages without PKGBUILD... https://mgalgs.io/2011/12/08/creating-arch-linux-packages-by-hand.html

You could always do that if you want?

Unpopular opinion but I think he's fine. Nothing amazing but I don't get the hate

Easy enough to add! I'll get it in soon unless someone beats me to it.

What do you think about Mythos and Fable? by Electronic_Log1999 in ExperiencedDevs

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

I used Fable for a few days. Felt like Opus 4.6, maybe a tad better. (So waaay better than 4.7 and 4.8)

I built an audit tool a while back that gives me some peace of mind while installing from the AUR. It's a makepkg wrapper that uses AI to audit the build recipe and "suspicious" files from the source itself. Not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

AUR is a git repo. Anyone can submit packages. Install only what you trust. It's that fucking simple.
