mathfailure··on DeskPad – A virtual monitor for screen sharing
Is it open source? Oh, no?
mathfailure··on Google Will Track Your Location 'Every 15 Minutes'–'Even with GPS Disabled'
You can't know, it's kept in a secret. But given the input data - you just have to assume they do (even if they don't).

They are a for-profit company. They are closed-sourced both in hardware and software. Their ecosystem is known to be a walled garden. They aren't open in their processes. They sell your data, they just don't tell you. Following all of their ToS you have to agree to use their devices - you don't even own anything, you are just paying for a subscription (that can be revoked any time for any reason) to use the device.

The site seems down (just blank white page).

For me it says

The inference service may be temporarily unavailable - we have alerts for this and will be fixing it soon.

mathfailure··on 13ft – A site similar to 12ft.io but self-hosted
It used to be a good extension. Now it is crapware tied to web services. I don't want any web services, I don't want seeing ads about paid features, I want a free extension working absolutely locally and not phoning home.

This piece of crap is, unfortunately, unfit.

mathfailure··on Mpv – A free, open-source, and cross-platform media player
The best media player available on linux. The worst GUI (none) out of the box. Bearable after tinkering a bit with configs.

mathfailure··on NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Modules
Depends on the version of drivers: 550 version results into black screen (you have to kill and restart X server) after waking up from sleep. 535 version doesn't have this bug. Don't know about 555.

Also tearing is a bitch. Still. Even with ForceCompositionPipeline.

mathfailure··on Ask HN: How do you read and follow the discussions on big threads?
There was an internet meme explaining that: "ain't nobody got time for that".

mathfailure··on Read Hacker News on Kindle (2022)
I don't think it's a valid solution for such a problem. The solution has to be more general, not just for 1 site.
mathfailure··on Read Hacker News on Kindle (2022)
I keep seeing HN clients again and again to the point that... its tiresome. Why do you think there's a need to create a client for a website?

mathfailure··on Wcurl: a curl wrapper to download files
You don't listen/understand: man pages are for learning. Just imagine a user refusing to learn and not because of said user's ignorance. You probably didn't invent a new class of programs that do something absolutely new, you just wrote a program with poor design/defaults that require the user to learn how to use said program rather things be intuitive in general.
mathfailure··on Wcurl: a curl wrapper to download files
Many people cherish simplicity. They don't want to remember arcane spells of args. They want sane/comfy defaults. It has nothing to do with ignorance, they simply refuse to use something your way.
mathfailure··on CRIU, a project to implement checkpoint/restore functionality for Linux
The app in the pod is the client (of a DBMS server). The client's IP gets changed. A service in k8s is a network node with an address, but it is used for inbound connections, outbound connections (like from the app to a DBMS server, which may be outside of k8s cluster) usually do not use services (as it gives no benefits).

Just always quote. No need to remember different behavior in different situations.

Abandonware.

Latest release dated 2021. This is almost abandonware.

It would go only where you'd bring it to.

mathfailure··on Show HN: Convert your Containerfile to a bootable OS
Thanks for the answer.

nope.

mathfailure··on Show HN: Convert your Containerfile to a bootable OS
I don't understand how it works.

Did I guess it right that it basically processes Containerfile and instead of producing a .tar artifact (which is what container images usually are) it produces .qcow2/.ami/.raw/.iso/.vmdk file which in case of .qcow2/.raw/.vmdk can be used by a virtualization software to start up a VM with a disk mounted from that file?

Will the changes made inside a session with such a VM persist? or will they get lost (which is the default behavior with containers)?

Container's filesystem may be as narrow as a single binary file, surely a VM with such a filesystem won't be able to boot - where will it take the OS (with the kernel, drivers and other stuff) from?

mathfailure··on The best way to have complex discussions?
This is nearly perfect! I've been thinking of that problem and possible solutions as well, I am very glad you've done it.

1 loaded question though: who should have the rights for concluding threads? And a sub-question: should concluded threads be locked into read-only state? Or the other party should be able to continue the argument?

mathfailure··on Blue-Recorder, a Simple Screen Recorder Written in Rust
Poor distribution. Snap is cancer, flatpak is crap, no AppImage, no brew package.
