> Git hashes are not supposed to be a security mechanism.

That you are wrong. Many people and orgs rely on this.

Does not matter if you think it's stupid, for them it is. live with it.

No, but the economic situation is banning you from getting a job, which is even more powerful than the government, especially when the government does not support a rising economy which will create jobs, people can build wealth with.

so the argument is even stronger than for oracle.

what can this do, what you cannot do with traditional elfs? static linking you also could do beforehand?
> Which is only the core problem because dmarc fixed the other core problem of figuring out who the given sender is.

Does it verify the sender or the domain/service which the sender is using?

I have two questions:

1. Does Radicle also work over TOR? 2. Does Radicle support Git LFS and/or Git Annex?

Re:Debian must ship reproducible packages on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @06:19AM (#48106261)
that depends though, which channel you choose. And their efforts for stage0 and such also increased the possibility for all.

Yay for Free software and Opensource! we all benefit! :)

Re:Debian must ship reproducible packages on Monday May 11, 2026 @01:45AM (#48091416)
the idea that debian has a few million dollars to spare creates the assumption, that even if they would have... you would either not know how to fix issues, or not worth it.
Re:Debian must ship reproducible packages on Sunday May 10, 2026 @10:17AM (#48084189)
you are free to provide patches instead of bitching.
Re:Debian must ship reproducible packages on Sunday May 10, 2026 @10:04AM (#48084089)
newcomers will always have it much easier. also guix i think also reached this.

also, stagex and others probably profited QUITE A LOT from the debian efforts, because they started to go upstream and talking to developers..

just arch linux profited from debian maintainers a decade before that an debian people asking upstream to improve...

Re:Debian must ship reproducible packages on Sunday May 10, 2026 @10:00AM (#48084061)
"mimimimi".

Those people do not care about quality in opensource at all. For longliving software this is very important.

Of course, all those javascript and kubernetes packages which are irrelevant in a few years again, might complain, but let them complain.

> What will we end up with? Only attested modems / endpoints in the home?

you might laugh/cry, but there was a time in germany, when the telephone at home was owned by the state (the "Post") and you were NOT allowed to tinker with it.

personally, i guess, things like sneakernet, lorawan and hamradio will become a lot more popular over time.

You probably pay for tests and that the company has to be audited for medical diagnostics standards
so.. where can i get this data? XD
> Couldn't NSA have not known about an issue with ML-KEM, and thus wanted to prevent its commercial acceptance, which it did simply by approving the algorithm?

Could, but they did not do that. So, the question is to be stated: Why?

Re:Why the heck are we still using Markdown? on Saturday April 04, 2026 @10:57AM (#47639601)
i would not use html(5). XHTML? perhaps. but try to find 3 parsers, which parse html in the same way and not segfaulting.

It's not possible. HTML is worse. You need at least something, which on parsing does not segfault.

i never understood why the markdown mime type was not used in emailclients in webclients or desktop programs...

that would eliminate most html usage and enable longer texts than 70-85 characters per line.

I cannot wait until it's in an appstore for android and that it will work with android/iphone together. And i seriously hope you do not abandon it. That being said, i have questions:

1. When i have a higher version, but others have a lowerpaid version, can i still connect to more members, or am i constrained by the lowestpaying customer in the network? 2. Do you have reproducible builds? 3. airdrop sadly only works with iphones, how will this be done with android? 4. would it be a possibility, that after some time you made decent money, you consider a even higher paid stage, where i can fully build the best /most feature version myself? just in case you ever leave the project? 5. https://github.com/RedGridMGRS/RedGridMGRS is a 404 for me? 6. Would it be possible you also use openstreetmap or better to say integrate map loading from there? 7. Would you consider adding something like https://www.fixphrase.com / what3words-alternative into the app, so coordinates could be uses with phrases?

Re: on Sunday February 08, 2026 @03:49AM (#46932565)
thanks. another question:

Would it be possible, that the storage of pypi/whatever is some s3 bucket, where you have it encrypted (with authentication), and when you deliver it to a client, you get it, decrypt it, test for authentication and deliver it to the client? the encryption is something that artipie is lacking sadly.

Re: on Friday February 06, 2026 @02:36PM (#46917136)
you know artipie? it is only in java, but does a similar part.

will your stuff be really opensource?

Re:Package Management Is a Wicked Problem on Thursday January 29, 2026 @02:08AM (#46806777)
they lost it, when they hardwared it with systemd.

Nothing against systemd, but hardwaring is not a good idea in that regard.

With guix, you at least install things in a container.

sadly, guix also went the non-conda-route, so you could not use it as a conda replacement only :(

> This potential shouldn't prevent our inventing new kinds of tool.

Why do i see someone who wants to build an atomic bomb for shit and giggles using this argument, too? As hyperbole as my argument is, the argument given is not good here, as well.

The immutable linux people build tools, without building good tools which actually make it easier for private people at home to adapt a immutable linux to THEIR liking.

Re:Lennart Poettering, Christian Brauner founded a new company on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @02:27AM (#46792142)
WHAT is the usage and benefit for private users? This is always neglected.

avoiding backdoors as a private person you always can only solve with having the hardware at your place, because hardware ALWAYS can have backdoors, because hardware vendors do not fix their shit.

From my point of view it ONLY gives control and possibilities to large organizations like governments and companies. which in turn use it to control citizens

> Attestation, secure enclaves, and other technologies create ways to distribute software that otherwise wouldn't exist. How many things are in the cloud solely to enforce access control? What if they didn't have to be?

To be honest, mainly companies need that. personal users do not need that. And additionally companies are NOT restrained by governments not to exploit customers as much as possible.

So... i also see it as enslaving users. And tell me, for many private persons, where does this actually give them for PRIVATE persons, NOT companies a net benefit?
