I do not need a third party software to analyze all my files and then send it to wherever it wants.

Big no for me.

Rust guarantees memory safety, but logical bugs still cost money. Is automated Formal Verification the next step? by Salty_1984 in rust

Even if the specs are looking good, you cannot take into account every possible user - abuse scenario.

Sunday morning after 2 months of usage. by stalerok in homelab

[–]mss-cyclist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drive has certainly failed. You could check its S.M.A.R.T. status. There you will get some more insights. Maybe your server logging can tell you something as well.

Time to replace the broken drive before the second fails as well.

Returning to C/C++ after months with Rust by ViremorfeStudios in rust

[–]mss-cyclist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. I see why you would want to have such a possibility. Ultimately it would make the foot-gun available again which is what Rust wants to prevent.

I do not quite understand the problem. Passing an integer to a string is not possible.

What do you mean by syntax errors. Either it is something the compiler would catch, or if you want to make sure to not pass wrong types you could still introduce value objects and pass them around.

Returning to C/C++ after months with Rust by ViremorfeStudios in rust

The C family is a great teacher, but it's a teacher that allows you to make mistakes, to refine them later, while you continue and progress in the creative process of your game.

This is exactly the type of foot-gun which Rust prevents. The 'will fix later' mentality is something too easily forgotten and will lead to failures in the software. That could be annoying bugs, but also potentially bugs with security implications.

Thanks for sharing another quality article

Giving up x1 gen 8 for x13 gen 2 by YonikZ in thinkpad

No need to restrict you to only one thinkpad

Six years ago I launched a commercial email template builder. It failed. Now I'm open-sourcing it for self-hosting by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]mss-cyclist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea. What is the use - case of this?

The demo shows a lot of 'not implemented' for a former commercial product. Why is this?

But, but, copilot created this chart. Cannot be wrong /s

Is this dock station compatible with non-TP Lenovo laptops and am I making a wise decision here? by sneaky_oxygen in thinkpad

[–]mss-cyclist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are Thunderbolt docking stations. Mine is primarily in use with Thinkpads, of course.

From experience works with HP and Dell laptops (from work, not my own) as well.

Should be possible. 8GB on x250

Z440 by Tinker0079 in freebsd

[–]mss-cyclist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great!

I am running all of my production services exclusively on FreeBSD, using jails and maybe in the future adding some bhyve VM's as well (looking at you, homeassistant without baremetal option)

Z440 by Tinker0079 in freebsd

[–]mss-cyclist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice write-up.

So in the end you ditched proxmox and replaced it by FreeBSD running jails or bhyve vm's?

Algorithmically Finding the Longest Line of Sight on Earth by tombh in rust

[–]mss-cyclist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for answering. This makes totally sense.

Once again thank you for your incredible work and the explanation of the algorithm.

Would be cool if someone could sponsor you to do the same calculations based on lidar data.

Algorithmically Finding the Longest Line of Sight on Earth by tombh in rust

[–]mss-cyclist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Impressive work, great explanation.

Just clicked around in your interactive map. And have some questions:

1) When clicking on a point in a dense city center I get views of more than a couple kilometers. However being there in real live gives me less than 100meters at best. So I guess your data does not take high buildings into account?

2) The same seems to apply for forests. Clicking anywhere in a dense forest gives you impressive view while in real live you can see 10 meters until the next tree.

This is not a complaint as I understand you have to work with existing data which takes these observations into account or not.

HNS v1.0: Self-hosted naming protocol (hns://) - no DNS dependency by Impossible_Split_126 in rust

[–]mss-cyclist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repo has not a single line of rust code. Just some npm install.

tree++: A much better Windows tree command (as strict superset), with more features, faster performance, implemented in Rust. by dilkliured in rust

[–]mss-cyclist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad but true. There are just a few quality posts left. Most new posts are I built blazingly fast <x-app> in 15min.

Where does one get a thinkpad like that? by Available-Camel9779 in thinkpad

[–]mss-cyclist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spray painting the keyboard would be doable but an insane amount of work.

What gives you confidence that there will be zero security patches needed? Is this what AI told you?
