"rédiger" in french, then it's "write" instead of "redacting" I suppose.. sorry for my poor english

Since AI is redacting, a lot of articles are long and boring to read with a lot of useless details.

I don't understand why the git history has been pruned in this fork.

According to the first commit in this fork:

> Squashed as a single orphan commit — the original oven-sh/bun history isn't relevant to this stripped fork and its shallow clone doesn't push cleanly to a fresh remote.

IMHO it's always a bad decision to do that. Here, all commit authors are lost. The original history is always relevant.

Re:CopyFail was not disclosed to Gentoo developer on Thursday April 30, 2026 @06:07PM (#47968857)
I don't know what exactly can load this module but the servers are running for many weeks and I suppose that if something will load this module, it stays loaded until the next reboot.. no ?

I tried to rmmod on all servers and rmmod always returns `ERROR: Module algif_aead is not currently loaded`, that's why I think it's fine. Of course I take a look on https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-31431 for the updates.

Re:CopyFail was not disclosed to Gentoo developer on Thursday April 30, 2026 @05:55PM (#47968739)
I have checked all the servers (bookworm, bullseye) that I manage, and none of them have the algif_aead module loaded.

Seems not fatal to all non-patched systems.

I just check something because my memory as faults... Firebird was the name of Firefox and the mail client was called something like Mozilla mail or something else.
Re:Help Keep Thunderbird Alive on Thursday April 09, 2026 @07:09AM (#47702096)
I use Thunderbird from the beginning when it was still named Firebird (I switched from Outlook Express). I think that it's a good product because it continues to do the job since more than 20 years. Me too I don't understand the negative comments. It's free (MPL license), it's packaged by Debian. All good. I don't care about Mozilla.

Re:A Decade of Docker Containers on Saturday March 07, 2026 @03:06PM (#47291019)
Oh, thank you... I'm not alone... I'm so tired of seeing crappy containers with pseudo service management handled by Dockerfiles, used instead of proper and serious packaging like that of many venerable Linux distributions.
Re:Anthropic acquires Bun on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @02:02AM (#46131066)
Hello, thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I'm not asking for a definition, but for information about licensing decisions for the future of Bun.
Re:Anthropic acquires Bun on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @03:51PM (#46126665)
Hi Jarred,

I contributed to Bun one time for SQLite. I've a question about the licensing. Will each contributor continue to retain their copyright, or will a CLA be introduced?

Thanks

The atmosphere is amazing. Really good job... continue :-)
trump-lang is a totally stable genius programming language made for developers who don’t like to wait, think twice, or read error messages.

Designed with rapid decision-making, alternative logic, and absolutely no regard for international standards — it’s the only language endorsed by billionaires who don’t code.

It is unfortunate. GCC has enabled the compilation of countless lines of source code for nearly 40 years and has served millions of users. Regardless of whether its design is considered good or bad today, GCC has played an essential role and has enabled the emergence of many projects and new compilers. GCC deserves deep respect.

> How do you deal with Microsoft's crap on a daily basis?

I'm still using Windows 7 for specific Visual Studio 2019 developments where I must code. Most of times I'm under Debian.

For Windows specific build-only machine I use the free Hyper-V Server installation with OpenSSH installed via powershell and Add-WindowsCapability. I'ts one of the best Windows IMHO because there is nothing installed.

I've a certificate whish is valid until 2022 (valid for 5 years) (generated in 2017 after paied 100$). I distribute only free games (GPLv3) that I sign with this certificate. For Catalina, I can't notarize because I don't pay each year (my certificate is valid then it's useless to pay and I distribute only free softwares)... But I'm fucked by Apple for the notarization.

It's too expansive to pay just to distribute games that will be even refused probably on the app store because it's GPL.

Apple is just killing freedom and continue to take advantage of free softwares (free developers) on BSD, mach kernel, a lot of unix tools... even on projects started by Apple like LLVM Apple takes all advantages of all third contributions.
