eclipseo76··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
Really... In a thread about Iran... This is not comparable at all and so insulting for what they have endured since 1979.
eclipseo76··on New York claims a small victory in 'forever war on rats'
Mayor is still there though.
eclipseo76··on FOSDEM 2025: Streaming Schedule
It was my first FOSDEM, and I managed to see everything I wanted on my schedule. I met a man from Poland in the tramway the first day and apparently, it's not supposed to be possible (but he was right about there are always two talks you want to see at the same time). I just wish Lennart had enough time to talk about everything he planned, I need to learn more about mkosi.

Anyway, my only regret was not able to stay longer to meet other contributors due to my trains constraints. I didn't plan anything, I need to do better.

eclipseo76··on DICOM Medical Image Standard Chooses JPEG XL as a Payload Codec [pdf]
So hopeful for the future! Congrats to you and the team!
eclipseo76··on Hyprland Is a Toxic Community
There have been project that has been forked for these reasons. They never go anywhere because the people forking are not involved in the original community as dev.

eclipseo76··on This Program is Illegally Packaged in 14 Distributions
As one packaging Go daily for a distro, this doesn't surprise me (though thanks God we are not affected, probably because we unbundle everything and the license for each lib is then verified). Contrary to the Rust ecosystem, there is no central repo location or Cargo.toml that easily allow to parse the licenses used. So no cargo license commands. For static binaries we build, we don't have the entire set of licenses because the chain of dependencies can reach up to 650 packages.
eclipseo76··on One week of Libera Chat
Fedora is planning too, but it's colliding with our project of having our own Matrix server bridged with IRC.
eclipseo76··on BeagleV – An affordable RISC-V computer designed to run Linux
> We will likely buy a pile of them to do Fedora builds.

Do you expect a lot of things to break on RISCV?

eclipseo76··on Debian discusses vendoring again
I think it all boil down to manpower. Rust crates need a limited set of compat packages and have a way smaller ecosystem than nodejs. Node developers tend to use as many dependencies they can, resulting in hundreds of deps per app. Rust programs have generally less than 10 direct dependencies, and at worst less than a hundred indirect dependencies, so it is still manageable.

And for Golang, we try to unbundle, we have around 1,600 go libraries packaged. Some package are still bundled like k8s though due to depndency hell.
eclipseo76··on Airbus hit as new US tariffs come into force
And this won't change with the Biden administration since he's been propped up by these very same companes.
eclipseo76··on Getting Started with Signal
I use Signal and Matrix with different usecases, Matrix being more a replacement for IRC and Signal for communicating with friends.
eclipseo76··on Ask HN: What are decentralized Twitter alternatives?
> there's an exceedingly healthy culture of blocking sites which themselves advocate oppressive practices

That's an issue, not a feature.

eclipseo76··on Xkcd: Tradition
It's missing Mariah Carey.
eclipseo76··on Winding down my Debian involvement (2019)
Reading this I'm glad I'm working on Fedora.: one git per package, one tool to rule them all (fedpkg), one tool to sync them all locally (grokmirror), (relatively) easy global changes through proven packagers who can ask for mass changes before each release. I don't know how I would do it if I had to deal with svn, mercurial or no scm at all. I understand the want of being decentralized but this is being done at the maintainers expense, who are often already stretched thing.
eclipseo76··on Useful Linux Unix Tools to Add to Your Toolbox
bpytop looks pretty nice, I had never heard of it before.

eclipseo76··on Highlights from Git 2.28
I personally hope this won't catch on because some third party library still expect master to be the default branch. When main is used, I have to monkeypatch some script I use to work aroud it.

edit: I fixed the script to use branch [0] instead of branch master (using GitPython).

eclipseo76··on FLIF – Free Lossless Image Format
Last time I heard they were teaming with Google Pik for the JPEG XL format. Don't know where they are at.
eclipseo76··on IBM introduces z15 mainframe
What OS typically run on these mainframes?
eclipseo76··on [dead]
That's not what he said at all.
eclipseo76··on Prime Video on Chromecast and Android TV, YouTube on Fire TV
Frack I've just bought a FireTV stick because I couldn't watch Amazon on my Chromecast.
eclipseo76··on Is Firefox better than Chrome? It comes down to privacy
I use this https://github.com/silenc3r/fedora-better-fonts on Fedora.

It enables subpixel font rendering.

eclipseo76··on Is Firefox better than Chrome? It comes down to privacy
> Firefox's Profiles is similar, but then you get warnings about Firefox already running when you click a link in a non-Firefox program.

Use about:profiles to launch a process with another profile

I don't have any issue with fonts in F30, do you have a picture illustrating the issue?

That's a very partisan way of presenting things.

eclipseo76··on Prevented mortality from historical and projected nuclear power (2013)
It's also extremely unreliable. That's why you need coal/gas to supplement wind.
eclipseo76··on Trump Administration Hardens Its Attack on Climate Science
No. If the system had been different, the candidates would have adopted a different strategy and you can't predict the outcome. The current system doesn't incentivize republicans from California to go vote like it doesn't for democrats from Alabama.
eclipseo76··on GitHub Sponsors
Who's forcing anything? It's op-in. I welcome our capitalist overlord with open-arms if they want to sponsor my volunteer work. It's a win-win scenario.
