mathfailure··on Same-day upstream Linux support for Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
Does it even matter with such a logic?
mathfailure··on SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3
The project is abandoned as well.
mathfailure··on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus
Doubt. What are post-USSR countries (except for Ukraine) where government detains lots of people who hasn't committed any crimes? How many people get wrongfully killed by cops in post-USSR countries? In U.S. that's like a sport for cops to find an excuse to unalive someone.

And what is democratic about the fact that majority of people votes for candidate A, yet candidate B becomes the president because... because it's people don't actually vote for president, they vote for someone who counts pro-some party and it's THEY who vote for president in the end. What's democratic about corruption being completely legal (lobbying)? Do you know a single post-USSR country where lobbying is legal? (Hell, how can it be legal at all? there's no distinction between lobbying and corruption, that's the same thing!)

> not knowing you can put your Applications folder in your Dock and use it as a start menu

Doesn't work for me (Sequoia 15.4)

mathfailure··on Show HN: Pbar.io – Distributed progress bars that work in terminals and browsers
Oh, it was an error on my side, the link actually works.

If you are happy to share the code - I think quite some people would be happy. The openness doesn't guarantee, but usually leads to better security, performance, etc.

It is very nice of you to provide such a service (and for free, as I see), but your docs says we, users, better not update stuff faster than once per second and that's quite a big limitation for some big companies with lots of processes to track (which probably can't be grouped together into a single batch update as your docs suggest to do).

mathfailure··on Show HN: Pbar.io – Distributed progress bars that work in terminals and browsers
I got "Error Progress bar not found" visiting your https://pbar.io/Y8yg3BG link. However, there are no comments yet, so that might explain it. So this is a service you provide.

I must admit that idea behind this project is nice, but I'm not going to get dependent on someone else's infrastructure (and I think I'm not the only one thinking that way), can I host it myself or is the source not available? I don't see any links to sources or github, so decided to just ask here (and to also make the 1st comment here to see if your link would work now).

mathfailure··on Reshaped is now open source
It looks so neat and amazing!

I wish there was a simple way to 'marry' this lib with WordPress... or maybe there is one?

mathfailure··on Harness GitOps on Linux for Seamless Git-First Infrastructure Management
Although the article is written quite well - its existence puzzles me: it doesn't introduce any new ideas, it's just a short summary of the well-known GitOps idea.

Is this AI-generated or something?

mathfailure··on Show HN: Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal
Does running something via Term.everything consume more or less resources, than running that something directly?
mathfailure··on I ditched Docker for Podman
My go service in podman container requires a container restart after waking up. That's the only downside I've felt after switching from docker to podman.
mathfailure··on Monodraw
Why do you GEO-block?
mathfailure··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
It doesn't even matter if it's foreign or not, it's a matter of who owns the thing: you buy a smartphone or you buy a service that allows you some use of said smartphone? Fuck services.
mathfailure··on Jan – Ollama alternative with local UI
Is this an alternative to OpenWebUI?
mathfailure··on Investors bought 27% of US homes in Q1, as traditional buyers struggle to afford
What a weirdly chosen set of buckets [1,5] and [6,10]. What'd be the percentages for buckets like [0,1] homes and [2,∞)?
mathfailure··on Investors bought 27% of US homes in Q1, as traditional buyers struggle to afford
If demand is so high - where's your capitalism's rule that supply should rise to meet the demand??
mathfailure··on Incus – Next-generation system container, application container, and VM manager
Their site doesn't open, that's a poor sign.
mathfailure··on Magic .env files built for sharing: Human-first, AI-friendly
Why not integrate with KeePass(*)-family of secret stores or HashiCorp Vault?
mathfailure··on ESIM Security
That was a pleasure to read: I'm just a layman, I know basically jack-shit about GSM/eSIM technologies, yet the article is written so well and provides enough details that I could understand what they wrote.
mathfailure··on 400 million Windows PCs vanished in 3 years. Where did they all go?
Have you actually read the article?

The author's assertion came out from his ass: he concluded that "more than a billion users" in MicroSoft's presentation means "exactly about 1 billion users".

No, 1.5 billions is "more than a billion users" as well.

The author is a speculating bitch, not a journalist.

mathfailure··on 400 million Windows PCs vanished in 3 years. Where did they all go?
That article is a speculation, the number 400 millions was taken out of the article author's ass.

mathfailure··on Show HN: DaedalOS – Desktop Environment in the Browser
I don't know why, but just the animated background causes 100% cpu consumption for me. Debian 12, Chromium 136, i5-3450, 20gb ram, nVidia 3080, 4k screen though.
mathfailure··on That fractal that's been up on my wall for years
Too much math.
mathfailure··on ClawPDF – Open-Source Virtual/Network PDF Printer with OCR and Image Support
For Windows only.

Abandonware.

mathfailure··on US vs. Google amicus curiae brief of Y Combinator in support of plaintiffs [pdf]
We're gonna be fine without all those items from that list. There are plenty of alternatives and plenty more would arise once the monopolist sinks.
mathfailure··on Era of U.S. dollar may be winding down
Yes.
mathfailure··on Tiny-LLM – a course of serving LLM on Apple Silicon for systems engineers
How much disk & RAM does it need?

What's your tokens/sec rate (and on which device)?

mathfailure··on TmuxAI: AI-Powered, Non-Intrusive Terminal Assistant
Then why would anyone let this thing into their terminal..?
mathfailure··on TmuxAI: AI-Powered, Non-Intrusive Terminal Assistant
Is it a locally running model?
mathfailure··on Show HN: Building better base images
If the idea was to merge different layers - why not do something like this instead?

FROM your_image as initial

FROM scratch
