I stopped subscribing to Netflix. Their recommendation engine is honestly terrible. They'd be much better off using curated genres.

Because iMessage is an Apple-only product.

> What is the problem with that exactly? I have both. Both look like messengers and do messenging.

Telegram is way snappier and is more peformant all around. Same reason why people complain about Electron all the time.

> Where? On Whatsapp? Because on Signal you don't need the device. It can be powered off.

No, compared to Telegram. Messages you send via Signal on mobile are not available on desktop, and when you sign-in on desktop you need to first link with mobile. When they become out of sync the messages you had previously are no longer available.

> What are you talking about? I have the same messages on my phone and on my desktop client. I don't need to do anything. Just launch either.

Again, as long as your device is linked but if you lose/break your phone then the E2E messages are not longer available on desktop after a period of time.

> What is exactly "great" about it compared to the others? You can send the same stuff as you do with Signal.

Telegram has a lot of great features that are not available on Signal. I suggest you try it out if you haven't already, and if you have then maybe you don't care about those features but it is much more widely used than Signal for that reason.

> , and if you want end-to-end, it has that too but is mostly limited to mobile devices.

That doesn't make it worse per say. The process of linking on desktop for Signal is cumbersome. I don't think Telegram is perfect, which is why I think GPG would be a great solution for encrypted cloud messaging.

Patches are reviewed just not in the way you are accustomed to, but it doesn't make it any less secure. The kernel is continually audited and tested, and is the most widely used kernel in security devices.

What you are asking for is that developers should have to prove their real-life identity and authenticate to a public SCM system and that somehow makes it more secure, when hidden exploits could as easily be sent as a PR on GitHub and merged by someone who didn't know better or who can just play dumb.

There are other issues, like that they don't allow you to install apps outside their Appstore and they require developers pay $99 a year to publish an app. Android allows you to install apps outside of the Google Play Store.

It definitely isn't as user friendly on the desktop. It is basically a chrome sandboxed app, which is far from a native app like Telegram. Additionally, you have to sync your devices. Once they become out of sync, you can no longer decrypt the messages on desktop. If you break/lose your mobile device then the messages are gone forever.

Signal is great for enforcing end-to-end encryption, but doesn't yet have the mechanisms in place to sync across devices automatically to make it user-friendly. Telegram is great for most messaging, and if you want end-to-end, it has that too but is mostly limited to mobile devices.

Would be great for someone to implement GPG on top of their cloud-based messaging though.

Because Signal isn't user-friendly, and does not work well between multiple devices.

I've switched everyone I know to Telegram, which works on all devices and isn't anti-competitive like Apple.

That honestly sounds terrible, and apparently only works on ECS. What a shame. I was thinking that AWS was actually going to provide something useful to the open source community.

If you don't care about privacy

At this point I'd recommend starting with Manjaro. Nothing compares to the AUR.

One is open source and updated, and includes encryption.

It looks like that link is broken and I can't find anywhere on their website that states this anymore

What userspace do you see written in Rust?

Here are some links for you that I think would be useful for a related setup, however I can't speak for the user that posted that. The headless installation should follow the same principles of using a RAMDisk though.

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux_with_root_on_...

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Install_Alpine_in_Qemu

I don't see any confirmation based on that link that it is abandoned. There was an update in June.

GitLab has had this for years and Docker Hub has remained. Additionally, Docker Hub has done a great job getting projects to use them for their official images:

https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=image&image_filter=off...

Until GitHub is able to get as many official images sponsored by the open source projects themselves, DockerHub will not be going away.

This was sold and shipped by Walmart.com

Why Bottlerocket? Why not just use Alpine, Void, NixOS, Arch, etc instead?

Firecracker and Kata containers are ways to run containers inside lightweight VMs that boot directly into the Kernel, they are not Linux distros in themselves. You are trying to compare apples to oranges. You could run Firecracker or Kata containers on top of something like Bottlerocket, however Bottlerocket is geared more towards the container-sandbox and isolation crowd while Kata/Firecracker is for those who think you can only get isolation using VMs.

Rancher has been around a long time and isn't cloud-specific. Until this distro can prove itself useful outside of the AWS ecosystem, then Rancher will still dominate.

Did you even read the blog post? This is running Linux, and only the AWS software-components running on it are largely written in Rust. It is still Linux and the OS is not written in Rust, nor the container daemon and probably none of the non-AWS software packages.

I recently ordered something from Walmart, and they will still sell stuff that isn't stocked and then you have no idea when it will actually ship when it appears to already be in stock. I hope that eventually they can at least provide accurate shipping dates.

Have you ever used a flat file database? I envision the perfect database having a file system API that automatically sorts and can be edited using standard files, but stores data using like JSON or YAML. That way it can be versioned and queried using the standard file system tools, or those that implement the Unix Philosophy.

Pretty soon they'll be arguing for inclusion of JavaScript in the Linux kernel

When you login at Cisco WebEx, they warn you of criminal liability. However, if you report a security concern at Cisco they treat you like a criminal. Basically, as an employee at Cisco you take on all the liability but they won't protect you from their own negligence.

They already are. Based on someone I know, they were warned by their coworkers at WebEx that much of the work was outsourced to China and they had concerns that they were installing backdoors.

I knew someone that worked at WebEx in their FedRAMP environment performing vulnerability remediation, and most of the work was outsourced to China because the founders are from China. They posted screenshots of a conversation with their teammate saying that because of the convoluted process to install packages, they had concerns that they were installing some sort of backdoor. They reported this and had investigators constantly checking out their LinkedIn profile for months.

There are plenty of people successfully hosting their own email. If you're getting flagged as spam, then you need to take a few steps every once in a while but self-hosted email is still totally doable.

Just use Markdown (or similar markup language) and a tool like pandoc to convert to word if necessary.
